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? ;)

They See Me Scrollin'

With graduation season upon us, it's time to once again consider that most impossible of shapes:

The lumpy burrito.

 

No, sorry, I mean that paper noisemaker thing you blow through:

 

Or is it a Corinthian column?

...made into a Chia Pet?

 

I'm being silly, of course. We all know these are really bakers' attempts at... uh...

compensating for something.

[evil grin]

Maybe if they anthropomorphized it?

In this case, "anthropomorphize" means "make it look like a poopy lollipop inside a beaker."

So: NAILED IT.

 

Speaking of things that've been nailed:

With a steamroller, by the looks of it.

 

Well, I trust this has convinced you guys to always request a real paper diploma on your cakes. That way, you're guaranteed to NEVER... uh... oh.

Never mind.

United Wrecks of America

Gimmie a U!

"U!"

Gimmie an S!

"S!"

Gimmie a... nother U?

Huh.

Looks like sticking this cookie cake to the ceiling has addled some brains.

After all, what red-blooded American could forget how to spell the good ol' USA?

I mean, besides these ones?

 

I feel like this one was getting close:

The underline on the S really sells it.

 

Well, however you (mis)spell it, here's to all those who've given their lives for this great country: the United States of...

Psst. Guys. You spelled "'MURICA" wrong.

 

Thanks to Carrie D., Dave G., Heather O., & Scott D. for the memories.
