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: New Year's Delusions

As we recover from our holiday revelry and look forward to 2014, it's time for that most dreaded of traditions: making our new year's resolutions.

Of course we all know what the first one will be, so let's get that out of the way first:

We will eat nothing but healthy fruits and vegetables for, like, at least a month.

 

But of course eating better isn't enough! We also have to run!

(By Sugar Sweet Cakes and Treats)

And apparently not just during commercial breaks. Bah.

 

Maybe Yoga would be easier:

This reminds me of one of my favorite cat pictures. No, no, I won't spoil it; just go see.

 

Oh, and this year we will get organized. We will sort and purge and scrub until our homes and garages are begging for mercy:

And we are going to save SO MUCH money:

(By Cakes by Sandy)

 

So we can finally take that trip!

And then we're going to start that garden out back:

And we're going to learn to knit. Or crochet.
Right after we learn the difference between knitting and crocheting.

And you know that button on the camera? The one on the side? Well, this year, we're going to learn what that does.

(By Studio Cake)

 

And we're going to read more:

And finally finish that novel:

And watch less TV!

(By Calamity Cakes)

No, you're right; that's just crazy talk.

Besides, we have to save SOMETHING for next year, right?

The Far Side Of Cake, Vol. 9

They say Santa just wasn't the same after that visit.

Everyone did their best to stay nonchalant, but like moths to a flame, they were inexorably drawn to Eeyore's new tramp stamp:

The silence stretched out painfully, and now everyone was looking at him. Curse that mechanic and his "ultra performance diesel shake"!

It really was a great place for cookouts and casual get-togethers... provided you never made eye contact with the ducks:

 

Thanks to Susan L., Laura K., Beth J., & Warren G. for the fowl play.
