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? ;)

Sideshow Slideshow

(Yeah, just try saying that three times fast.)

Step right up, folks! Witness the stupendous, astounding, incomprehensibly incomprehensible, Freak Animal Mutations Only a Baker Could Create!

First, feast your eyes on a spectacle n'er before seen this side of Pooville...

The crappily conjoined cupcake kitties!
Yessir, there's nuthin' like a few fecal felines to show a baker's "anything goes" attitude - especially when they number two. [smirk]

Well it looks like a frog, but I detect some monkey business.


"Walk the dog"? Looks more like "Scrape the Sidewalk."

And don't you love it when Wrecks are so unrecognizable that the bakers have to write us little clues on the cake board? I think I'll have to do a whole post on those soon...

Oh, but first, remember that kiddy song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"

meeyOW.

Ok, last one - just for the "shell" of it:


"Dude, I used to have nightmares about a turtle that looked exactly like this when I was little."

"But that was a long time ago. How can you be sure?"

"Turtle recall."

Could we have a post dedicated to WalMart cakes that DON'T suck? Some of us WM decorators are actually pretty good, which is amazing considering the complete lack of training we get. "Here's some frosting, figure it out!" Speed and keeping the shelves full is more important than quality, but some of us do manage both...

Thank you for making me smile when I didn't want to.

Oh, turtles - I see it now.

Wait - no I don't.

I could be wrong... I HOPE I'm wrong, but based on knowledge learned from a lingerie shower game, I'm pretty sure 'walk the dog' is a euphemism...

which makes it all the more disturbing.

Turtle recall! That pun was so bad, it caused me physical pain. That "tiger" ccc reminded me of that part from the movie Drop Dead Fred where Fred's head got stuck in the refrigerator...does anyone else remember it?
Here is a link to the photo...

That tiger looks like they used a UTERUS mold and colored it orange. So VERY wrong.

Okay! I laughed until I snorted! How embarrassing!

October 22, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterranzkiedoodles

those green things ... are they going to start reciting bad poetry soon?

October 27, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjoyce

The top one looks like poo-slippers and the last one looks like what happens when I eat corn.

Crappily conjoined cupcake kitties--there's no way you can read that aloud and not laugh.

Is it bad that I saw those turtles and automatically saw a World of Warcraft character?
