What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Cinco De Mayo Madness

This Sunday is Cinco de Mayo! Or, as it's known in the original Spanish, [rolling Rs dramatically] Cinco de Mayo.

As you may know, Cinco is about celebrating Mexican heritage, culture, and those big yellow hats drunk people wear:

 

What you may not know is that Cinco is also a celebration of drippy cheese volcanoes:

"But it's MY drippy cheese volcano. Nachos."

 

Plus... submarines?

Yeesh, it's like trying to read hieroglyphics. What do you suppose "sperm" "3" "Mayo" means?

Which reminds me: what does happen when a baker can't fit the word "Cinco," and decides to use the number instead?

Well, as Reginald here found out, that depends on if the baker knows how many "Cinco" is:

SO CLOSE.

 

And finally, for your Cinco de Mayo pleasure:

What appears to be angry organ meat...

...on the beach...

...playing maracas.

I am terrified beyond the capability for rational thought.

Olé!

 

Thanks to Colin W., Alicia, Joanna A., Reginald R., & John M. for the real Cinco Swim situation.

Instead of 20, I see an uppercase Q: Qo de Mayo. In what math does Q = cinc?

Just what every beach needs: A ham sombrero. Kinda changes the phrase 'hold on to your hats,' don't it. Donut it. OK I'm leaving now...

Not one has mayo on it! Hurrah!

Not only is that last picture "angry organ meat"; it seems to have brutally attacked a Vulcan or two!

That last one really puts the somber in sombrero

Well, I'm glad Sue explained that was a sombrero. My first thought was , "What the h--- is that thing?"

Hopefully those are not real peppers... Jalapenos are usually green though, which might make them cayenne peppers, which are hotter.

So that last one is a hat right? Because it does look like a hunk of meat with maracas.

May 2, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterNathan R.

That last one looks like an octopus.

May 2, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterIsolder74

That last thing I still can't figure what they were going for. Could be a giant octopus could be Cthulu who knows? Lol.

It's a pink nudibranch, tragically beached, but stoically entertaining itself until someone throws it back in the water.

Your commentary on the last one almost caused a spit-take! Well done.

Mmm, placenta cake.

It's Admiral Akbar after celebrating the Victory at Endor

"Yeesh, it's like trying to read hieroglyphics. What do you suppose "sperm" "3" "Mayo" means?"

"Sperm-free Mayo"? (Definitely how I prefer it. OTOH, how would you tell if it wasn't, without a laboratory?)

May 6, 2019 | Unregistered Commenterrocketride

Your commentary on the last one DID cause a spit-take... now all we need is for it to start singing “To Dream the Impossible Dream" with John Cleese and The Muppets.
