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? ;)

Foot In Mouth

It's National No Socks Day!

Time to kick off those shoes and socks and bare our soles! Woohoo!

And what better way to revel in the glory of all our freed tootsies than with a little cake, amirite?

[cranking up Footloose]

Hit it!

AAAUAUUUGGH!!
I didn't mean LITERALLY!

 

I have a feeling the rest of these are going to be equally unpleasant, guys, so you, uh, might want to put the coffee down.

Ooof.

 

Arrrrggh.

 

Hurk!

 

OH COME ON!

 

[Breathing deeply through nose]

 

Maybe if we just scroll faster...

ACK.

 

EEEK!

 

NooOOOOOoooOOOO!!!

****

 

Oh, we're done?

PHEW!

Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?

 

Thanks to Teya, Jessica M., Breanna, JB, Mike R., Rachel B., Sam H., Anony M., & Anna I. for really socking it to us.

Must Love Minecraft

Look, minions, sometimes we customers ask for weird stuff on our cakes.

 

No, like really weird stuff.

(Not to mention weirdly ominous...?)

 

So you can't always expect your baker to know how to draw, say, Yoda from Star Wars in an Elvis Presley costume.

Although hot dang, that's not half bad.

 

Still, for all the curve balls we throw at our bakers, I don't think it's TOO much to expect them to know the super popular kids' stuff, right? Like Minecraft, that game with all the green pixelated dudes that every 10-year-old boy is obsessed with?

Exhibit A: An average Minecraft cake.

 

Which brings me to wreckporter Mary, who ordered Minecraft cupcakes for her son's class. She explained to her bakery that the class all loved Minecraft, and asked for a 4X4 grid of green squares on each cupcake. Nothing too fancy, just some basic Minecraft blocks.

Again, Mary asked for cupcakes. With Minecraft squares on them. No writing, no characters.

Ready to see what she got?

::evil grin::

 

This is my favorite part of every post, you guys. The ANTICI....

 

 

 

 

 

 

...PATION!

Ooooh.

Yowch.

It says "Class Love Birthday Minecraft," if that helps any.

It, uh, definitely didn't help the baker.

 

Thanks to Jessica R., Kim Z., Anony M., & Mary D. for reminding bakers everywhere that Google can be a wondrous thing. Just sayin'.
