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

The Lenin cake is disturbingly well done. Did the bakery have "Lifesize replica of Lenin's body" on their list of cakes they could do? What occasion was this for!!

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

The Lenin cake should have been an entry on it`s own, everybody seem to forget sweet poor old cancer rat...

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

No fair! Everyone gets a slice that's the same size!

I imagine the little girl saying "YAAAAAY!! Dead Commie is my favorite cake flavor! Can I get an eyeball?"

Is it sick and twisted that I hope this cake was made of red velvet? Probably.

"Is it just me, or is it extremely odd that the server looks 20 years younger than the cake counterpart we are about to indulge in...*shudder*...maybe I'm not so hungry any more. No offense, food server, but I wouldn't want to eat you...dead or alive!"

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGabrielle

Egads,that is a horrid cake. I thought it was bad in the first small pic, I was like "dead guy....ew". THEN I saw the other pics and realized it was life sized. *shudder*

This reminds me of the old "Mommy, mommy" jokes:

"Mommy, mommy, I don't want to visit Grandpa!"

"Shut up and keep digging!"

"Mommy, mommy, I hate my sister's guts!"

"Shut up and keep eating!"
