Spelled wrong this cake is, and lonely-looking that raspberry.
Christine A., if 60 miles I did, disappointed in this cake I would be.

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? ;)

First!
Sixty miles you did. Strawberry you get. Jedi master Yoda rest of cake gets.
Yoda decorated did! LMAO!!!!
Any chance it was supposed to read:
Congratulations!
60 Miles!
You did it!
They just left off the "it"?
It looks like it's made of potted meat.
Looks like a stack of baloney, it does
Was this Dagobah Decorators?
The comments on this one are inspired!

What's up with that frosting color, too? I know it's supposed to be strawberry, but it looks more like flesh-toned. Ew. Food coloring, people!
i think this is my favorite cake i have ever seen on this site. that raspberry. oh my god.
i love how the words are melting of the cake! the rest of congratulations is on the side of the cake or something. carp did i even spell it right?! ha!
I think the only time a lone piece of fruit works on a cake is if it's a cherry. I look back to classic Disney cartoons. If they had a cake, it was always finished with a cherry.
I love your blog, but must admit I haven't laughed *out loud* in a while. (Silently, yes :) Today I got my laugh out loud. My almost-two-year old saw me laughing and joined in. Thanks for the chuckles! Sarah and little J.
Please with cake, Yoda is.
Sorry about another Yoda joke, Sally is.
If it were green, with long twisty ears, less disturbing the misspelling might have been.
Or not.
Sad, that cake is.

I also thought that they just forgot the "it" at the end. Maybe this cake is part of the "Cakes Without Borders" program.
I refuse to mention any Star Wars characters here. :)
Expected to see Yoda when reading the title, I did.
I would be so depressed if I received that!!
If 900 years you lived, a few hobbies you would need, and if English your 31st language was, some errors you would make.
Looking at the previous comments aboutthe Breast Cancer Walk for a possible theme, this brings a whole new spin on the "Boob Cake". A cake that looks like a boob...or a cake done by a boob? You choose. :)
Poor sad little raspberry! :( Who gets the raspberry? The person who did the 60 miles? The person cutting the cake? Or are you supposed to try to divide the raspberry amongst all the people eating the cake?
looks like a nipple, it does
LMAO
hmmmm...hilarious, your posts will be.
Strong, the funny Force is with you!
The cake is small because the jock-ette who did 60 miles doesn't eat as much cake as I do. That's why she can DO 60 miles! :)
On the plus side, that cake looks like an eight-layer raspberry liqueur cake, which is one of the most delicious things known to man.
A silver lining there always is.

@ Cooking with Ginger - dang, is that flying ad STILL up? Rats. We've asked our ad agency to remove it twice now. I'm on it - thanks for letting me know.
haha I love the commentary, I actually LOLed.
Maybe it's supposed to look flesh colored... and the lone raspberry is supposed to look like a nipple.
Perhaps she walked 60 miles in the breast cancer 3-day? Then a breast cake would be appropriate. The wording (and spelling) however - is horrendous.
You're reading it wrong!! Read from the bottom up -- "You did 60 miles -- raspberry -- congraDulations" Not sure what the raspberry is for -- must have some meaning between the two of them. Juanita
A Wreckerator, Yoda is?
Allowed, the mispelling is, for bad english Yoda speaks.
Pass the lightsaber you will, so cut the cake I can. This is not the berry you have been looking for, move along now.
Bring the Darth Vader baby cake forward you will. Much tasties it looks.
I took a picture of this really terrible cake today, but I was using my dad's phone and apparently cannot send it to myself. :(
I actually didn't think that the grammar and spelling were the worst part of the cake...to me it looks like a stack of oversized bologna. What color is that frosting? YUCK!
HOLY Yoda cake. Haha
I've been having a really yucky day and this cake and your comments made me laugh HARD, which I really needed. I agree that 60 miles of anything deserves much better than this! Although maybe if it was running and the person's in training, an ugly cake might help them say no to a second slice. I hope he/she got the raspberry on their slice!
Poor thing, however most of my cakes look similar and they don,t get the credit of being associated with Yoda.
I'd like to thanks everyone who mentioned how much that cake looks like a boob. I almost thought the decorator was going to get away with it. It is soooooooooooo a breasticle cake.
Verification word:
scetom
... no comment.
My guess is it's for someone that walked the breast cancer 3 day, and it's a boob, with a raspberry for a nipple.
but why is there no picture of pi today?
The berry isn't even centered!
Besides the Yoda talk did anyone else notice Congratulations is spelled congraDulations?
So why all the grooves on the side? Was it done on a lathe of some sort? Or, could it be that there are actually 10 little flat layers, each one representing 6 of The Miles?
Maybe the unnamed honoree did 60 miles of berry-picking???? (Oh, Gawd--shades of The Grapes of Wrath!)
At any rate, we may never know the answers --OR what is causing the cake to erupt in pimples.
Long time reader, first time commenter...
Maybe Yoda just finished the breast cancer 3 day... doesn't it look like a giant nipple with the lonely raspberry?
This may be a short post, but made me laugh out loud, it did!
Off center, this is.
you have the smartest commenters ever. That cake had me stumped. I agree with Jill---must be for some breast cancer walk, but talking like Yoda is funny, too.
But, one raspberry? Is that like giving someone "the" raspberry?
A bit ironic to celebrate 60 miles ( of what I assume is some type of exercise) with cake.
I wonder if Sam I Am is involved?
LMAO at all the Yoda comments!
This may be my favorite post so far. How can two lines be so, so funny?
