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: When Geeks Marry

I'm pretty sure I will never get tired of geeky wedding cakes. Especially when they come in so many great "flavors":

Coding Geek:

Mac/PC Geek:

Gamer Geek:

(This is CW reader Christine W.'s wedding cake, by Renaissance Productions & Razzl Dazzl Cake Company.
If you're wondering, it's a Tonberry. And if you're not wondering, well, it's still a Tonberry.)

 


(This gorgeous Companion Cube cake was sub'd by Emily H. & originally posted on Offbeat Bride)


Old School Geek:

 

 

(Sub'd by Karen M., made by Sheri's Edible Designs)

 

 

For you wee babes among us, that's Pee Wee's Playhouse. And yes, it's a wedding cake. I do hope they served it with ice cream soup.

I have an overwhelming urge to slice the Tonberry cake to bits before it gets close enough to touch with me that knife of his......

@Kat Maybe because they're lesbian otaku? That's my guess.

Since my internet's been off, I'm a little late getting to this, but I literally squealed when I saw the Tonberry cake!
I wonder if it did 9,999 damage to their reception. Hmmm...

I can tell how much of a geek I am by the fact that my first thought on the first one was "isn't (death == true) unnecessarily verbose? Wouldn't just (death) suffice, since it evaluates to a boolean?"

If it were up to my husband, we would have had a programming cake for our wedding! Cute, but no thank you. ;) xx
