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? ;)

Hello, Kitty?

Hello Kitty is the epitome of all things cute, to an almost nauseating degree:

However, put her in the hands of these bakers and she becomes a puff-faced gerbil with a glandular problem:


This next one is deceptively nice, other than the RSS-icon hair bow...

...but then you realize that massive domed face is ALL icing, slathered onto a...a....[swallowing] CUPCAKE CAKE!! [blood-curdling scream]

I think this next baker tried to make a Hello Kitty vampire, but since HK has no mouth it turned out a little...odd.

Transplanted walrus tusks, or dangling fingers? I suppose either works on the cracked black background. Oh, and maybe this is just me, but I find that a vampire who waves totally loses all "cool" credibility. Seriously. Can you picture Dracula waving? Of course not. It's just not dignified.

Now, if you want a creepy Hello Kitty done right, you do what Bonefinder did:

Zombie Hello Kitty - excellent!

And lastly, Julie M. found out the hard way that her local bakery either has no idea who Hello Kitty is, or believes she is Porky Pig's sister:

Yes, that's really supposed to be Hello Kitty. Wow.

Hey Ayana W., Holly U., Kelly H., and Matthew Z., what do you get when you combine Hello Kitty & Darth Vader?

Answer: Something that horrifies every Star Wars fan in existence:


Everyone can relax; it's Photoshopped. For legitimate HK insanity, though, check out Hello Kitty Hell. It's funny stuff, although I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a lot of the stuff on there is adorable. (Look at these water bottles and tell me they're not just the cutest - go on.)

Hello Vader is not a 'shop job, it's real. He's made appearances at various comic and anime cons. His costume is one of the more normal ones out there 0_o (whatever you do, do NOT google "Man-Faye" or you WILL regret it!)

I'm a grown woman and I adore Hello Kitty! I grew up collecting Sanrio stuff and still like it, though I no longer buy every HK item I see. She's cute and happy! How can you not love her?

Well, ok, I guess there's some Wrecktators out there who don't, judging by the photos *LOL*

Zombie kitty looks cool! Wonder if it was made for a boy who ripped the heads off his sisters Hello kitty dolls. :-)

Vampire Hello Kitty obviously caught the Cancer Rat.

My 10 year old son said of the first cake, "it looks like Hello Kitty went through a paper shredder and they tried to put her back together. It didn't work very well."
I have been laughing until tears are streaming down my face this morning. Thank you.

I can't believe they would do that to Hello Kitty.

I love Hello Kitty. Its so adorable and sweet. Its my favourite Japanese toy. That reminds me... must find and buy a Hello Kitty bentou (Japanese lunch) box for when I don't want to bother eating Japanese food on a plate nor in a bowl...

My word verification was "bressers". This is what Brothers call their clothing chests, since they do not wear dresses.

This was awesome!

I've seen such horrors at WalMart recently.

The last cake looks like a pig of some sort.

The Darth Vader isn't photoshopped. I saw him at the San Diego ComicCon in 2007.

I don't know...When I saw vampire kittie, I found myself thinking "spider mandibles". I mean, really! Don't tell me no one else did!

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the vampire Hello Kitty was "Hello Walrus." I guess Paul wasn't the walrus after all (goo-goo-ga-choo). (look up Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour" if you don't get it).
