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 Celebrates Tiki Tiki Tiki Cakes!

If you're a fellow Dizgeek, then my title already has the Tiki Room song stuck in your head. So hey, you're welcome for that. [wink]

I've noticed Tiki stuff is all the rage lately, and not just where the birds sing words and the flowers croon. From Tiki mugs to brightly printed shirts, sooo much art, and of course kitschy cute Tiki bars like Trader Sam's, I'm loving the tidal wave of Tiki!

Now, let's find some Tiki cakes.

[By Very Unique Cakes in New Jersey]

Yaaaas, look how great these colors are together! And the teeny tiki torches are so cute!

 

That was for a one year old's party, but I also found some tiki-riffic wedding cakes:

[By Cake Lava in Las Vegas]

The bride & groom tikis crack me up. Those expressions!

 

Here's a fun one with flames:

[By Sweet Boutique Cakes in Arkansas]

I like the mix of buttercream with fondant - and the flame crown is such a clever design.

 

The baker calls this next one "Freaky Tiki":

[By Man Bakes Cake for Sugar Spooks]

This would be fun for Halloween! The heads on the right are totally reminding me of Beetlejuice - remember the waiting room scene?

 

Here's a bright and cartoony style:

[By The Icing On The Cake in Virginia]

 

And, finally! One with a Tiki bird!

[By Gloria Cakes in Brazil]

D'awww.

I like that there's something Tiki for every age.

 

This one wins for Most Realistic Tiki:

[By Edible Art Works in Michigan]

Look at the wood-grain! Daaaaaang. Great design, too, I like the flaming stick in the mouth.

 

Ohhh, here's something completely different: a deliciously retro, mid-century modern style:

[By Charm City Cakes in both Baltimore & LA]

Perfect retro kitsch, right here! Diggin' the hand-painting and the Polynesian house on top.

 

And finally, more fantastic wood-grain, plus fruity drink spears, tropical flowers, beach sand - the whole package!

[By Emma Jayne Cake Design in the UK]

Aw yeah.

Happy Sunday, everyone! Hope these made you smile!

Sunday Sweets: Cute Baby Cakes

You know what's even cuter than animal and character cakes? Baby animal and character cakes.

(By Dolci Arte in St. Petersburg)

Like little Tinkerbell!

So cute, you could just eat her up, am I right?

(You know, even when talking about a cake, that still sounds creepy. LESSON LEARNED.)

 

Look at this shaggy lil' koala:

(By Shierlly Bei in Jakarta, Indonesia)

Who else wants to pet a cake right now?

 

Frog with a balloon, you guys. FROG... WITH A BALLOON:

(By Moli Cakes in Slovakia)

D'awwwwwww.

 

I love the colors on this one:

(By Erin Salerno in Wisconsin)

Plus baby tigers are always a win.

 

Years ago I fell in love with this painting of baby Chewbacca by ReevolveR:

I mean. C'mon.

 

But then someone made a cake version!

(By Cake Central user MrsBriggs06)

I'm really hoping those are marshmallows in his bandolier.

 

Or how about a 'dorable dinosaur?

(By Moli Cakes in Slovakia)

I can't decide which is more impressive: the sculpted baby or the handpainted mama on the bottom!

 

This one goes out to everyone feeling a little bit... prickly:

(By Leslie Vigil in California)

Baby hedgehog cake! Love love love.

 

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better than a fluffy llama, you find one in a poofy pompom harness:

(By Karen Paddila Cakes in San Juan)

It's just so happy.

 

And finally, amping up the cute meter ever further, we have this cuddle of teddy bears:

(Baker unknown, anyone recognize it?)

The light-up ball on top makes it so magical!

 

Hope you guys enjoyed! Happy Sunday!
