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? ;)

Sunday Sweets Goes Crazy Cat Lady

Cats are pretty awesome, you guys. The purrs, the head-butts, the constant disapproving stare that makes you question your life choices; they've got it all.

Kind of like this cutie-patootie kitty cake!

(By Tasteful Cakes in California)

Isn't it purr-fect?
(I'm getting the puns out of the way early. You're welcome.)

 

Check out this sweet vintage style:

[By Moja Slatka Radionica in Serbia]

D'awww. The ruffly roses are a sweet touch.

 

John and I have two new felines of mass destruction, both about 5 months old now, and for some reason this one reminded me of Eva after her spay day a few weeks ago:

Some delicate kitty silhouettes:

[By Stephanie's Cakes]

Look at those details! I love the pink yarn ball and little hair bow.

 

Also digging this cute cartoony style:

(By Cake by Agnieszka)

The little mice!

 

While this one is all about sleek lines:

[Baker unknown]

Change the color and it also works for Halloween!

 

This prosh little tabby is almost - ALMOST - upstaged by the incredible sweater texture below her:

(By Cakes Mogilev in Belarus)

Look at that "knit" sugar! And the little pom-poms!

 

Another kitty straight out of a story book:

[By Cakes Decor member Veronica in Slovakia]

All hand-painted!

 

This one screams - er, yowls? - "Paris" to me:

[By Sweetlake Cakes]

Look closely; some of the polka dots are paw prints.

 

And finally, a sweet kitty smile in the cheeriest pastels:

[By Natalia Casaballe]

Anyone else in the mood for cake right meow? :)

 

I hope these made you smile! Happy Sunday, everyone!

Expectation VS Wreck-ality

What They Wanted:

 

What They Got:

Oh dear. As we say in the South, "GOBRESS their heart."

 

Christina ordered a really gorgeous Frozen design:

 

...but unfortunately her own cake fell flat:

Maybe it's just cold?

(Bah dum CHA.)

 

And finally, you've really got to respect a baker who looks at this cake:

 

...and then says to their customer, "Not only can I make that exact wine bottle cake, I can even hand pipe the label."

Wowza.

 

Thanks to A., Christina R., & Christine for keeping that bottled up for us.
