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? ;)

10 Superb Owl Cakes For Super Bowl Sunday

It's Superb Owl Sunday, y'all!!

Though I have a confession to make: I only go to Superb Owl parties for the food.

(By Crazy Cakes, Czech Republic)

And yes, you can eat this owl. I mean, I suppose technically you could eat ANY owl, but this one is cake and therefore tastes better. Plus, look at the sculpting! The painting! Incredible.

 

(By Les Sucrés by Rose, Bangkok)

This one is still pondering the ramifications that all owls are technically edible. I like how his eyes glow when he's deep in thought on his Thinking Branch. So cute.

 

If we're talking superb owls, though, then one clearly flies above the rest:

(By Cakes By Ying, Malaysia)

HEDWIG! Best postal carrier ever, am I right? Though she misplaced a very important letter for yours truly a while back, and I'm still not over it.

 

This owl understands:

(By Klobouckovic Dortiky, Czechia)

See, she looks both snuggly and like she's about to say something devastatingly snarky, which is really the best combination.

 

And if I'm being honest, there IS an owl I love more than Hedwig, and that owl is... DAVID BOWIE.

(By Saccharine Obsession)

That line makes sense if you grew up in the 80s. Also this barn owl flew right out of Labyrinth to serenade me with As The World Falls Down, so give us a moment.

(And yes, cake! It's cake! AHHH-MAZING.)

 

This precious pastel patchwork is prettier than a peck of posies:

(By E Só Um Bolinho)

I dare you to read that line out loud and not spit all over your keyboard. I also dare you to find a better candidate for a plush toy - 'cuz YOU WON'T. (I want her as a pillow!)

 

Bringing it back to Harry Potter again because hi, it's me, and also because this cake topper is making me melt:

(By Tiny Plaid Sheep)

That seller only makes the topper part, not the cake, so I'm cheating by including this here.

Cheating, and not sorry. Look at the wands holding up the bunting! Eeee!

 

I noticed a lot of owl cakes look the same out there, so I made a point of specifically finding one with an owl wearing sneakers:

(By Cakes By Lorna, Slovakia)

You just don't see enough of those. Also the balloons are fantastic, I love the soft shading.

 

This pudgy lil' guy looks like a steampunk ringmaster, which is really the best aesthetic for an owl cake:

(By Bloom Cakes, Cambodia)

Buttons and bunting and bug-eyes, oh my! THIS IS SO CUTE.

 

And finally, the owl cake that will make you wish all owls - cake or not - came with bright teal and purple feathers:

(By Natalia Salazar, North Carolina)

Also Pixar eyes. And a one-to-one head-to-torso ratio. And itty bitty toesies. And a cutesy-pootsy widdle nosey-wosey OK sorry I'm done now.

 

Hope these make your Superb Owl Sunday a little more super, minions, and that your week is extra Sweet!

SCORE!

Hey, I hear the Super Bowl is coming up. Whaddaya think of that, Wilson?

[pauses to see how many other people remember Home Improvement]

 

And we all know Wilson' favorite part, right?

:D

[bowing] Ah thank you, thankyouverymuch.

 

Ok, enough funny stuff. Time to get down to business.

Oh, is that what the kids are calling it these days?

 

Well, just be careful with those "touchdowns," if you know what I mean. We all know where those can lead:

Yep. Haunted football-shaped ponds.

 

Not to mention all the football-shaped tumors:

Nike: Just Chew It.

 

So in conclusion: always know what time it is, use your quotes wisely, and perhaps avoid ordering your Super Bowl Game cake from this place:

Even if it IS a real gem.

 

Thanks to Jenny P., Melinda B., Rachel R., Pearl D., Kellie G., & Alexis M. for keeping the pigskin and just passing the cake.
