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'm Guessing They Didn't Have a Matching Card

Well, at least it didn't say "Happy".
(And you have to admit: the glowsticks are an inspired touch.)

Mmmm, cancer rat.

Slice of dead Lenin, anyone?

I mean, it looks just like Lenin's perfectly preserved corpse, so I know you're salivating already. Why, just look how excited the kiddies are!

"No, not the cold shoulder; I want a slice of the iron fist! Now quit Stalin and get me some Lenin-ade to wash it down with, or this joint won’t be getting any high Marx from me."

Of course the best part was saved for the VIPs:


Ah, a little jawbone with a scoop of ice cream on the side... [kissing fingertips] magnifique!

Ellie P., Whitney G., & Ann W., I think I'm going to need a Unicorn Chaser, stat.

UPDATE: Wow, thanks for all the entries in the dead Lenin caption contest, guys! The winning caption is a combination of what Taylor, Jenniffer, the Suttons, & Anne S. wrote. Oh, and my friend Abby came up with "slice of the iron fist."

And here are a few more that made me laugh:

"Lenin cake again?" - Ivory Girl

"I said I wanted a LEMON cake." - Judy

"Well, it’s better than cancer rat.” – Chris

"Crotch, please!" - BookTender

I always thought communism would taste more bitter.

"Please sir, I want some MOREEE!" - notice how she's already got cake there...:)

Thank you, Jen, for such an amusing blog - sure brightens up my day! :)

Don't give me the penis. I heard them say he screwed an entire nation.

"I thought I'd be safe with just a small bit of shoulder...I was mistaken, it's still creepy."

It does take some talent to make a cake so life (scratch that) death-like. It wouldn't sicken us so much if it was poorly done.

Gives a whole new creepy meaning to when Marie Antoinette said the starving masses should eat cake.

It's SoyLenin green! SoyLenin green is people!

"Rush said this is the only thing socialism is good for."

"Can I have a scoop of capitalism with this?"

"I LOVE Communism, it's tasty."

"More please!"

July 22, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEric

Mmm, I'd eat that dead person cake. Legal, tasty cannibalism people :)
What, you don't want any? All the more for me heheheh.
Who got the crotch?

Those glowsticks would work if Three Mile Island was the name of a show or place that'd had some weird X-Files stuff going on...

Sidenote: doesn't 'word verification' imply that the letters have to make up a word? I'm pretty sure arhesse isn't a word.

" He's full of chocolate! Did you know he is full of chocolate.....HE"S FULL OF CHOCOLATE!"

Remember that this is being said in a little girls voice.

This just proves what Lenin said,

"Any cook should be able to run the country."

July 22, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEric

Wait, Lenin said, "Any cook should be able to run the country." I'm thinking the girl is saying, "So THIS is what happens when grateful cooks run the country!"

By the way, Lenin-ade is real. And quite tasty.(Yes, I've had it)

"Quit Russian me! Is it best cut with an ice pick or a hammer?"

I've been reading Cake Wrecks for a while, but this is my favourite. I have a History degree and love bad puns so it was really a shoe in for favourite.

You guys are so funny.

I think the little girl is just haranguing the server with, "Hey! You cut her a bigger piece. She got more frosting! I wanted a flower!...." The server is taking deep breaths so that he doesn't turn around, hold the knife to the girl's throat and say, "How would you like to join him in cake's sweet embrace!"

There is a great ska song about a cake of VI Lenin... just go to itunes, the band it Johnny Sokko and the tune is Vladimir Lenin... it's worth a buck

MY COLLEGE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER (ish) FROM THREE MILE ISLAND! And I went there. My boyfriend snuck me onto the engineering trip there. :D Aw, this holds a special place in my heart! Not really. I'm just a lame Japanese major who has a bunch of nerds for friends. And I loooove them.

Next time PLEASE give a warning - I just f***g puked!

July 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I, personally, can forgive a Lenin cake given that the Russians have such a wonderful attitude towards cake. Any country that has full on gateau style cakes on the buffet for breakfast at their hotels has got to be allowed their little idiosyncrasies.

July 25, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterbardiera

LENIN CAKE! Perfect cake. :)

I am so proud. Don't ask me why one of my colleagues wanted to celebrate three mile island.

I am the one who thought of and had the Three Mile Island Cakes (there were two) made. They were for a hospital that is within the area that would take patients if there were another problem at TMI. It is a lil sick, but funny.. Glad to see people like it!

August 8, 2009 | Unregistered Commenteremtffzartman

that Lenin cake reminds me of the video for Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". I had nightmares for weeks after seeing that for the first time when I was like 7 or so. Lenin is ALL cake. Alice still had a singing head, flailing arms, and kicking legs. *shudder*

it would be even more hilarious if the innards of the john lenin(sp?) cake were Red velvet XD

Anyone else notice that the "dead cake" looks a liiiiiittle like a bald version of the guy serving the face? This must have creeped him out.

I'm wondering if you knew that Leninade was a real product? It's pretty good too.
