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? ;)

Why are there
so many
songs...

...about rainbows?

And what's on the other side?

Rainbows are visions,
but only illusions,

By Art2eatCakes

and rainbows have nothing
to hide.

 

So we've been told and some choose to believe it.

I know they're wrong, wait and see.

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.

Simply Smashing

This is a cake I posted back in 2009: 

"Because crime doesn't pay, kids."

 

And this one I posted in 2011:

"It's kind of a mix between 'shushing' and 'churning.'"

 

Well, today Deirdre M. sent me this cake:

Three wrecks of the exact same design, misspelled three different ways.

 MY LIFE IS NOW COMPLETE.

 

And to celebrate, I will now rehash a slightly dated meme for my own base amusements.

You're welcome.

 (Psst. Hey. You know you want to read this out loud.

Go on.  I won't judge. Much.)

 

Thanks to Jenn B., Mickie D., and Deirdre M.  for chursh... cursh...ah chrush...smashing crime.
