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? ;)

Thanks to Liz T., who says this is why you never order Valentine cookies from a baker who's recently been dumped. (True story.)

I admit. I laughed. Awesome cookie!
First!
This is hilarious. Hopefully, the intended is a farmer who really wants a carrying case for an entrenching implement...
I got it! "hoe bag" - hahahah
Can you imagine passing that one out at the elementary Valentine's Day party. "No honey,it doesn't say that; it says.... ummm... well...uh... Let's just give you this one."
Wow. Unbelievable. Why would you do that to a cookie? It never asked for THAT to be written on it. WHY!?

"Hopefully, the intended is a farmer who really wants a carrying case for an entrenching implement..."
The cookie made me laugh and then this comment made me laugh more.
Love it!
I have a holiday gift bag I've used for transporting presents the past few years that has a glittery "ho ho ho" in big letters down the side. I call it the same thing!
Too funny!
Love it! This has inspired me to make my own conversation heart cookies. Of course, I'll try to be a little more polite...
It took me a few minutes to see that HOE is misspelled. Around here we spell it HO'
Thanks for the laugh!
Nice. Thank you for the laugh this morning.
Too funny.
*snort* Hilarious!
I read a story yesterday that a 12YO found an "adult" saying in her bag of candy hearts: Nice [another word for boob starts with T]. Oooops!
wv: hecares: After receiving a cookie like that, I realized hecares about me. He really does. Really! :-)
I laughed pretty hard at the picture, but I laughed even harder at Anonymous' comment @ 9.33am: "Hopefully, the intended is a farmer who really wants a carrying case for an entrenching implement..." Frakking brilliant.
I had to muffle my laughter so I wouldn't wake up my roommates. I'm so tempted now to make my own batch of message cookies and slip one "bad" one in.
You know... Ho or Hoe is a term of endearment lately..
Maybe cookies for the dumpee is a new business opportunity ;)
Excellent advice re: how to choose your baker, but my aging eyes read "hog bag" so I was sorely perplexed! I knew if I came to the comments I would find an explanation...
HAHAHAHAHA THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!!!
OMG! I saw it immediately! WOW.
and I also loved the comment from "anonymous."
Que bonito!!
Get outta town, true story?!
That's hilarious!
Oh dear, I make cookies like that for Valentine's Day and I thought it was a picture of my work. I am pretty sure I have never been that bitter on a cookie though:-)
true story... my bag of candy hearts last week had one that said "jump me" (after looking at others it was evidently supposed to read "jump 4 me" which isnt all that much better if you ask me)
My husband was momentarily perturbed recently by a candy heart that said head/heals. "It does what???" We decided it was a misspelling of heels, as in head over heels. We hope.
WV: boomalin. My heart was a'boomalin in my chest when I saw him.
I found it immediately! Funny!
For one brief moment, I thought we were meant to be sad that "text me" has become something worthy of a valentine's cookie...
took me ages to spot it then LOL :D
Wow. Anonymous @ 9:41am, do the cookies ask YOU to write things on them? Cause that's never happened to me.
Maybe it was suppose to be "Shoe Bag", an hommage to her shopping addiction??
Love It!
I actually thought it said "Hog Bag". Either way it is hilarious.
hahahhahahah Hoe Bag hahahahha
Awesome!
kadterp
ROFL!!
I love Sesame Street cookies.
Did you know you can ask for the sayings you want on M&M's now?
~~Di
Ah, what ever happened to sweet, old-fashioned Valentine's messages like "Huge Me"?
LMAO!!! Took me a second to find it!! LOVE it!! (Super cute idea.. may steal it...)
Or you could be this 12 year old.. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/41411490/ns/today-celebrates_valentines_day
Can I buy those in bulk?
LOL best laugh of the day!
OMG... PRICELESS!!! Bwahahahahahaha
@Anonymous @ 9:34... excellent explanation :)
I get that it's an insult, but not quite sure what a "hoe bag" would be! (was it a misspelling of whore and hag?)
And perhaps there *are* business opportunities in creating cookies for the single/recently dumped for a Valentines singles party! Hmmm... there are a few cookies that I could savour when reminiscing about long-dumped exes ;) Balanced, of course, by extremely flattering cookies for my sweetie ::hastily added::
Didn't take me long.
They misspelled ho.
Just saying.
:P
I read it as Hog Bag too! Perplexed as to which insult was intended.

This is a great puzzle! When my six year old comes home from school, I'm going to give it to him as a "find the one that doesn't belonng" challenge!
@ WORLD"S BEST MOM
Your SIX year old???? Really???? YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I guess I'm really out of touch!
@Karen Valinda,
I too read it as HOG BAG! Funny either way!
WV: klits......... 'nuf said!
I was laughing hard enough that my daughter came upstairs to see what I was laughing at.
"Hog bag?!"
After I corrected her: "What's a ho-bag?"
I guess I should have seen that coming.
Too funny!
Check out google's home page today, it's Steampunk and interactive (pull the red lever on the right side)!
Of course, this is probably a one day thing 'cos it's Jules Verne's birthday... but if you see this in time, I think you'll like it!!

I once got a conversation heart that said "how much." Yeah, I'm pretty sure that conversation heart was calling me a prostitute.
Reminded me immediately of the strip club Deja Vu strip clubs saying "hundreds of beautiful girls, and three ugly ones" or something like that.
Perhaps the order was for their staff party?
That is AWESOME!!! Ha ha ha
