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? ;)

(Warning: Mildly naughty stuff ahead)

Some of my favorite new submissions this week:

 

For Lori's 30th birthday her friends thought it would be cute to get her a "2nd quinceañera" cake - quinceañera being the popular Latin American celebration of a girl's 15th birthday.

Now, Lori's baker may not know how to spell "quinceañera," but darned if she isn't a wiz with Hooked on Phonics:

Go on. Read it aloud.

RIGHT??

See, now I want to call up this bakery and order something in Klingon, just to see what I get.

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but some bakeries are already gearing up for the most politically correct time of the year:

Peace on earth. Goodwill toward non-gender-specific beings.

 

Oh! But you know what's NOT genderless?

This soccer team's cake:

Q: What's that shooting out from the tip?

A: I dunno, but I do know this:

"He shoots, he scooooores!!"

 

Thanks to Lori B., Ryan C., Ben W., Lori M., & Amanda M. for a real blast.

Some of my favorite submissions this week:

 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so it's nice to see bakers doing their part:

...to make pink ribbons look like ding-a-lings.

 

You know how they say the most important thing is to just never stop trying?

Please stop trying, bakers.

Please.

 

Mary ordered a cupcake cake (patooie!) in the shape of a number 6 for her daughter, but I guess the baker ran out of cupcakes, so...

This birthday is brought to you by 3/4 of the number 0.

Thanks for nothing.

 

How Twitter has ruined us all:

#Wrecktastic

 

And finally, Catherine told the baker her son's name was "Stephen with a PH."

She got this:

 

Thanks to Amber G., Diana E., Mary G., Meredith N., & Catherine J. for the phweet phurprise.
