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? ;)

Greeeeeeeaaaaaat

It's time once again to educate our sarcasm-impaired brothers and sisters. That's right! It's...

Sarcasm Awareness Month!

How does that make you feel?

Ladies and gentlemen, sarcasm!

And that brings us to our first lesson: lack of punctuation.

 

You may remember one of the classic sarcastic cakes from way back:

The sarcastically inept might think this is praising Bob when, in fact, it's telling Bob to go suck an egg.

 

Let's try some more:
What are these cakes really saying?

This means the best probably happened a while ago, and you missed it.

 

This means you did something stupid - and everyone saw.

 

And this means nobody here cares about the specifics of your situation, so go away so we can eat some cake already. 

 

There you have it! I do hope we've made you more aware of sarcasm.

Because that would make us:

No, really.

See what I did there?

 

Thanks to Mariya N., Sarah C., Donna H., Kim B., Brad C. & Julia K. for being the brightest rays of sunshine yet, only in a really really good way. Honest.

Come For The Hippo, Stay For The Barbarian Cream

 

Guys, if you ever want a 3D sculpted cake like this:

 

...and your baker claims she can make a cupcake cake (patooie!) look just like it, DO NOT BELIEVE HER.

On the plus side, I hear hippo skin rugs are all the rage now in child therapy sessions.

They asked for a book cake of The Great Gatsby:

NAILED IT.

You know, when *I* was a kid they didn't have all these new-fangled flavored fillings:

 

***

 

"Ok, ma'am, your cake has room for three lines of text."

"Great! I'd like 'Mazel Tov' on the first line, and 'Sara Rose' on the second."

"And for the third line?"

"Oh, just leave that blank."

Apparently Jennifer K's husband never gets her anything for their anniversary, so for the big 10 she got him a cake. That said this:

I really shouldn't be finding this so funny, should I?

 ***

 

"Hey, guys, is 'give up' all one word?

Is there a dash?

How do you spell it, again?

Is this right?

How about now?

OH FORGET IT."

Mmmm, sweet irony.

 

Thanks to Disireah, Tonianne, Allie P., Deena M., & Anony M. for reminding us to never give up, NEVER SURRENDER.
