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? ;)

Under The Sea With No-Face Cinderella

When Cassie asked her bakery if they could draw Ariel and Flounder on a cookie cake for her...

... they said yes.

Then Cassie showed them this picture:

... and they STILL said they could do it.

 

See, that was your first warning sign, Cassie.

This was your second.

 

Still, at least they gave poor Ariel a face. Raelin's baker, on the other head, failed so badly that she actually scraped off Cinderella's face and delivered the cake like this:

I KNOW RIGHT

I had to read the e-mail to understand what the heck I was looking at. It looks like an upside down chick with a shaved belly!

I mean "chick" as in baby chicken, btw.

It's weird I have to clarify that.

But also why I love you guys.

 

And while we're celebrating Princess Week (did I mention it's Princess Week? Hey, minions, IT'S PRINCESS WEEK), let's take a moment to appreciate that one woman's castle is another woman's castle, IF you know what I mean.

Heyoooo.

Also you might want to get that leak looked at.

 

Now get out there, princesses, and smash this weekend the way our patron saint would want you to:

HULK PRETTY PRINCESS.
HULK SMASH PATRIARCHAL EXPECTATIONS OF GENDER CONFORMITY.

YAAAAASSS.

 

Thanks to Cassie C., Raelin K., Janine E., & Stefani K. for giving us serious birthday cake goals.

I Mustache You A Question

It's the follicle sensation that's sweeping the nation: MUSTACHES!

That's right, bakers: Mustaches make everything friendlier and more approachable and not at all creepy!

"Psst. Hey. You.
"You wanna candy cane?"

 

Not to mention more appetizing!

(Yes, those are supposed to be 'staches. And the bow is plastic. Because of course it is.)

 

Mustaches are instantly recognizable:

 

And always make sense!

 

And sometimes travel in large packs for protection:

We call this "a flock of Sellecks."

 

So be proud of your mustaches, my friends - even if your baker's "drawing" is a little more literal than you'd like:

Trust me, Nichole M., you're better off this way.

 

Thanks to Anita H., Kristien B., Rebecca S., Joy W., & Nichole M. for the flavor saver favors.
