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? ;)

My Uncle Thought He Was Saint Jerome

One of my all-time favorite movies, Ghostbusters, turns 34 years old today. Thirty four! I think that calls for a song... about calling people.

[tuning up 80s synthesizer]

♪ If there's something strange
in your neighborhood

::aggressive jazz hands::

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

 

♬If there's something weird

And it don't look good
(There's a hole in this cake.)

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

 

I ain't afraid of no ghost!

Pretty sure that's a penguin...

 

I ain't afraid of no ghost!

Okay, who brought the dog?

 

♬If you're seeing things
running through your head

Ouch.

 

Who you gonna call?

Ghostbusters!

 

♪ An invisible man
Sleeping in your bed

(He said he wanted to snuggle, but I saw right through him.)

Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!

I suspect fowl play.

From The Baker Formerly Known As Prince

I was working part time in a bakery line
My boss was Mr. Wreckie
He told me several times that he didn't like my signs
'Cuz I spelled too "creatively"

 

Soon he had me lookin' for something else to "destroy"
But different from the day before

That's when I saw it - Oooh, I saw it!
I dropped it right on the tile floor (tile floor).

It was a
Raaaaaspberry purée

The kind you grind and then reheat to pour

Raaaaspberry purée

And if it gets warm it starts to look like gore

Raaaspberry purée

I think I loooove you.

 

Mr. Wreckie
Now, had the nerve to ask me
If I planned to do him any harm

I told him, "Look, man,
I was only bakin'
Surely NO cause for alarm!"

I said now, jelly roll cakes never turned me on
But somehow the purée and bread mixed

Eeee-eEEEE-ee! That was a fright!
But I could tell Wreckie missed me;
Soon I was back to my old tricks:

Thanks to the
Raaaaaspberry purée
The kind you grind and then reheat to pour

Raaaaspberry purée
And if it gets warm it starts to look like gore

(EW!)

Raaaspberry purée
I think I loooove you.

 (Goodnight, sweet Prince.)
