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? ;)

Brain Cakes For Babies

If you have a daughter named Brandon, guess what you get asked the most?

I'm kind of loving the piping gymnastics the baker had to go through to fit all that on there. Do you think at any point she stopped to wonder... ?

Naaaah.

 

Uh, guys? Did I miss something? Are brain cakes for babies a thing now?

Because the pics of little Toby covered in red cake gore are seriously not safe for life.

 

Believe it or not, though, that's not the wreck. See, someone else wanted a cake just like that for their baby... but instead they got this:

It looks like a big mushy ball of Mac n' Cheese. Which, let's be honest, is WAY BETTER THAN BRAIN CAKES FOR BABIES, mmkay? Yeesh.

Ok, maybe the brain cake is too divisive of an issue.

So can we at least agree that THIS is wrong?

"Icing shots?!" With no cake?? FOR $2.00??

Whaddaya mean, you like that much icing? Are you INSAAAANE?

(Side Note: anyone else distracted by the "Dry Old German Chocolate" sign? I was about to be impressed by their honesty before I realized it's supposed to be "Day." Heh.)

Well, in the interests of minion harmony, let's end with a classic:

A birthday cake with "a big number 2 and stars on the sides."

I guess there wasn't room to write "stars" on both sides.
Shame.

 

Thanks to Jennifer B., Amanda N., Kathleen, K.T. for bringing us only the second-best stars.

Hashbrown Ladylike

Bakers, take a note:

Some of you will get that reference.

And that's enough for me.

 

Sometimes I think I should just let you guys do the captions, though.

For example, Patty titled this one, "Spring! Butterfly love!"

And combined with that insane-eyed vomit pile there it just cracked. me. UP.

 

Then there was this e-mail, which had only a single word:

"Ladylike."

[mic drop]

 

This week! On E! True Hollywood Story! How one lovable sidekick:

 

Really hit the powder:

Oh, Olaf, say it isn't so.

 

And finally, they didn't want any writing, so they asked for the Alligator cake "as is."

Sadly, they didn't get it.

But then again, neither did the baker.

:D

 

Thanks to Laura E., Patty M., Jane, Julie V., & Staci O. for reminding me of this snippet of wisdom from Twitter:
