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? ;)

Hats Off To Betty Boop's Trunks

Minions, it thrills my geeky little heart to see you Agent Carter fans ordering her iconic red hat as a cake:

Ooooh. Aaaah.

 

But I must admit, it's also a thrill to pull a new pun out of my hat, so....

Looks like someone...
[SUNGLASSES]
...busted a cap.

Thank you, thank you verramuch. And hey, that was just off the top of my head.

(Your groans are music to my ears, people.)

 

This sweet Bettie Boop miss practically writes itself:

"Boop-Oop-A....

 

"...WHOOPS."

 

It would probably be indelicate to mention how many times I've warned you all about the horrors of cupcake cakes (ptooie!), so I won't. Instead, I'll just let Mary's pictures tell the story:

It was supposed to be this.

 

Instead:

o.0

So take a card from the sand-covered mutant elephant, my friends, and NEVER FORGET.

 

Thanks to Jessica S., Anita S., & Mary B. for mastering the elephant of surprise.

Birch, Please.

 

 Me: AAAUUGH! BWAHAHAAA!

John: What? [seeing cake] What IS that?

Me: [laughing]

John: Is it a cow? Buried face down?

Me: [still laughing]

John: Wait, no, I think it's a tree. A birch tree.

Me: [shrill cackling punctuated by honking, bugle-like snorts]

John: Is there a two-liter in that thing? Seriously, look; I think there's a soda bottle in there! Jen?

Me: [wiping eyes] Oh, so you're saying it's all bark and no bite?

John: Ug, that's terrible. We need some good puns.

Me: Hey, if you don't like my puns, you can make like a tree, and GET OUT OF HERE.

John: That's it. No more Back to the Future marathons for you.

Me: Awww. You are my density, baby.

 

Thanks to Amanda C. for proving there's nothing shady at all about a tree stump with two limbs.
