Amused Am I

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? ;)

I think there was supposed to be an "it" at the bottom. But this amuses me, especially since I recently got the XBox 360 version of Soul Calibur IV that features Yoda.
FLMAO!!!!!
i love you and yer comments bahahahhaa
yer the best <333
And such lovely, centered writing.
OK, I won't kill the Yoda references, though it's really freakin' funny.
Basically, the cake is OK. Dull, but OK. It's not leaning over, the icing looks consistent, (with little bits 'o berry in it) and it seems really tall! The only downfall is the half-assed script, misspellings and the fact that it looks like the Yoda words are slowly sliding off the cake. Still, a wreck is a wreck!
Tee-hee. Rasberry looks tasty.
Hi! I'm the Christine A. who did the Breast Cancer 3-Day Walk and this was my supposed to be my "Congratulations! You Did It!" celebration cake. My sister and I laughed so hard, and after 60 miles and feet covered with blisters, this cake was worth it!
I agree. For Yoda this cake was.
I have laughed at a lot of your posts. But this one had me laughing, it nearly woke my kids, it did
I think it is supposed to be written the way those chalk instructions on the ground are when you do a bike race, like you read them bottom-to-top as you ride over them.
I can't justify the raspberry, however.
Rolled on floor laughing I did. Favorite post ever this is.
kyooty said but why is there no picture of pi today?
Because this is cake wrecks, not pie wrecks. Although that would be amusing, too.
The most perplexing thing to me is that the icing is very well done. This cake is even, leveled, and the buttercream (that's not fondant) is very smooth. The little ridges from the spatula on the side are even, so whoever
*iced* it had a steady hand and knew what they were doing, even if they didn't take the time to smooth it down completely.
My guess it this was one of those blank "pick me and ad your message" cakes, and that whoever put the crap on top was on a different shift and wasn't responsible for the cake prior to that moment.
In all fairness, "Congratulations" takes up a lot more room on a cake than you think it will when you start writing!
You wouldn't, you'd pounce on it, mouth first.
"Omnomnomnom, neeeeeed sugary glucose, hit the wall, caaaaaaaaaake."
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!! *gasp* hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.... *gasp* hahahahahaha, hahahahahaha. Oh. my. That was funny - I haven't laughed out loud at cake in such a long time. This is as good as the naked mohawk baby carrot jockeys!
Thanks for that, I needed it.

See, this would have been the perfect segue into that Yoda cake I submitted... I am assuming it hasn't been posted yet because you're waiting to collect more Star Wars stuff for an EPIC post. ;)
the force is strong with that one
I was trying to figure out why a stack of blank CDs (still on the spindle of the packaging) would have "60 miles" written on the top one...60 minutes, maybe. (Although the ones sitting in my desk drawer right now say 80 minutes.)
WV: porep. That's an extremely porepresentation of a breast, if that's what was intended.
Well, we know Yoda wants to save the tatas!

May the Schwartz be with you...
I really, really hope that no one actually paid for that mess.
Anyone who could charge for that pinnacle of half-a55edness should have piped the telephone number of a leading local proctologist on teh side of the cake.
Because if you give that to someone who did 60 miles of anything (I'm including sitting in the back seat with your nose pressed against the window, okay?!), you're likely to need medical assistance to remove the cake from the bodily orifice into which it would have been deservedly stuffed.
I'm wondering exactly what that 60 miles was of. Running? Biking? Cake-hucking?
As a Breast Cancer 3-Day walker, I'd be willing to bet that this cake was made to celebrate at the end of that very long weekend. And perhaps a walker themselves did the decorating for their team, which explains the slight resemblance to a boob, as well as the misspellings and grammar. Trust me, after walking 60 miles, your brain is mush.
hee hee hee :D
i just discovered your blog and i'm an instant subscriber! :)
Who ever did the writing didn't space plan very well... the "s" is almost off the cake!
A cake artist Yoda now is, I did not know!
that raspberry is just so sad all alone up there on top of that ugly little yoda cake...lol
Unless Yoda freak this person is, appreciate this cake they will not.
You can't go wrong with "Yoda-speak". Right?
I know this is from a while ago, but I couldn't help but notice that this cake looks like a stack of ham slices.
Is this a Cake Love cake?
Delish cakes but looks like someone did a horrible job on the writing...
Disappointing very, is this cake, LOL. (See? Backwards that is!)
Man, after 60 miles of flying the star ship around Dagobah, apparently Yoda felt like he deserved some reward. Imagine him at the store.
Store...person: How can I help you sir?
Yoda: Order a cake, I want to. Buttercream you have it do you?
Yoda a good decorator is not.
Haiku cake it is
I think it might be for a guy named Miles who turned 60. "Congratulations, Miles! 60 - You did it!" or the like. Did anyone think about that?
snorting i am, with laughter.
Is it wrong that I feel sad for that poor little raspberry? Imagine being left all alone so that everyone thinks you're the one that decorated that cake! Please don't jeer at the raspberry, it's not his fault.
God! It is so difficult to crack up in public without looking like a moron... too late, it is... ~RR
60 miles you did what? pancakes this cake is made of. Master Yoda, where is? this cake a german made by was.
Yoda I am. Cake I love. Surprised and slightly disappointed I am that mention Yoda, Jen did not.
It looks like a big stack of sliced bologna!!!
That was a "fancy" cake that a now defunct grocery store chain in the Chicago area required all its decorators to make. It was part of a series of seven triple layer cakes that had a large one and a mini that were supposed to be put in their pastry cases every week. As a former cake decorator for that chain, I can verify that cake you see was made with three yellow cake rounds. Then, white buttercream was mixed with raspberry jelly to make the pink color and the cake was filled and iced. The raspberry and the lines were company required decorations. If you changed the details in any way, you would get in trouble.
