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? ;)

Sunday Sweets: Swing Cakes

In case any of you have been blissfully unaware 'til now, there's an election coming up here in the U.S.

As someone "lucky" enough to live in a "swing" state, I'm afraid to turn on the TV or answer the phone anymore, what with all the mud-slinging, name-calling, and incessant demands on my attention. Plus sometimes a campaign volunteer calls. [shudder]

So today let's make our own fun.  Let's forget about Red States and Blue States for a few minutes, and instead look at some of the prettiest red and blue cakes I could find.

Since we're talking about elections, let's start with...

 ...stars

 

 

...and stripes!

 

 Whether you live in the city...

By Whipped Bakeshop

 

 Or down by the sea...

By Laurie Clarke Cakes

 ...the important thing to remember is that we all like cake.

 

I'm told the women's vote is especially sought after this year.

 I vote for this:

By The Cake Zone

 Can you wear fondant?  Just asking.

 

I know there are some big choices in this election, but try not to get ruffled.

By EB Cakes

 

 ...or all topsy-turvy:

By The Makery Cake Company

 

...or too tents:

By More Cake Please

 

After all, the important thing is that you vote.  You can even mail in some ballots!

By Cakebee

 I'm using owl post this year.

 

 And remember, if you're using a paper ballot, fill in those circles completely.

By Wedding Cakes by Dawna

We don't want to leave Chad -- or anyone else -- hanging.

 (Or is it still too soon for hanging chad jokes?)

 

Once the election is over, maybe we can stop talking about red OR blue, and remember how well these colors can work together.

Be Our Guest

Cakes so full of grime

 

Possibly diseased

 

Oozing from both ends!

These could kill your friends...

Unexpectedly.


Just a little mange

 

Y'all come for the feast!

 

What’s that over there?

Dirty underwear?

Who would pay for these?

 

Everyone’s the same

Spongebob in disguuuuise!

 

We should tell the store

Sometimes less is more

Those cows hurt MY EYES.

 

These cakes are a crime

 

Misery prolonged

*

Sticky, green and strange!

Makes you feel deranged

These are just so wrong.

 

Certainly this one

Has infected yeast

 

Festering, with slime

These cakes are a crime

Who would pay for these?


Festering, with slime

These cakes are a crime

Who would pay.... for theeese?

 

(Off to the Dumpster with you now, cakes. It’s past your sell time.)
