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? ;)

Happy Flash Drive Day!

Here at Cake Wrecks we've learned over the years that ordering a photo cake - and then bringing in your own photo on a portable flash drive - can be tricky.

 

First a baker just drew a copy of the drive itself on the cake - rather nicely, I might add.

 

Then a baker photocopied the drive and put that on the cake. (Yes, really.)

 

Well today, I'm happy to report that one baker has finally - FINALLY - figured it out:

GIVE THIS WOMAN A CIGAR.

 

Thanks to Johanna O. for sharing her birthday revelation.

Don't Take That Literally, Spider-Man

Briana S. asked the baker to make her cookie cake "look cute."

BIG MISTAKE.

 

And when Lynnette's baker asked what color frosting she wanted, she said, "Whatever pops out of the icing tube; I don't care."

You should know better, Lynn.

Not gonna lie; given Spidey's positioning, my mind went somewhere else entirely with the whole "pops out" thing. (WHAT.)

 

You ever pick up a cake at the grocery store bakery, and it's so, SO bad, but you're too embarrassed to say anything, so you sneak over to the canned vegetable aisle and stick it on a shelf while no one's looking?

Aha!

I KNEW IT WAS YOU.

Jennifer B. found this here, and all I can say is: good call, shopper.

(I kind of love how the cake's announcing itself to the green beans, though.)

 

Isn't it cute when bakers are just learning to write their numbers?

I'm gonna guess Drew is somewhere between 5 and 6.

(I usually censor bakery names, btw, but would you LOOK at that cake board? Hey, if Price Chopper Bakery wants credit that badly, who am I to stand in their way?)

 

And finally, here's a sweet visage to whisk you off to dreamland tonight:

Yeah, SLEEP WELL, GEORGE.

 

Thanks to Briana S., Lynnette M., Jennifer B., Lea A., & R.B. for reminding us there's more fish in sea - so I'm prolly never sleeping again.
