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? ;)

"Is it dragon green?"

No...

Or Yoshi green:

Or maybe even Hobbit Door green:

[squee!]

It's not.

 

No, I'm happy to report that the official color of 2013 is Emerald green:

By Martha Stewart Weddings

Woohoo!

Speaking as both a May baby and someone who's tired of the drab pea-soup and army greens that have been dominating the clothing aisle, I couldn't be happier about this year's color. Here's hoping today's Sweets warm you up to the choice, too!
