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

Oh! He's a CAKE?!? Yeah, I'll just have some ice cream, thanks.

Mum! My cakes got hair in it!

That is seriously disturbing on so many levels . . . I think the little girl should be saying "Did he move? I think he moved!"

"I want to eat his eyes!!"

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDemonica

"Can somebody give me a hand here? Hey, why are you giving me the cold shoulder?"

I thought that modeling a cake on living beings was disturbing. It turns out that using a corpse as inspiration is so, so much creepier.

mr.ska said In Soviet Russia, mustache wears YOU!

I can't believe we got this far in the comments without an "in Soviet Russia" joke.... Which of course, naturally leads to: in Soviet Russia, cake eats you.

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjackie31337

{Deep excited breath} "Oh! Oppressive Communism!?! My favorite! With sprinkles too? Awesome."

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterHeidi 'n' Jeff

"Hey! Can we get a cake like that when Grandma dies!!!!!"

Or at least that's what my daughter would've said. :)

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKalyn

Never mind, I see the "in Soviet Russia, cake eats you" joke popped into a lot of other heads too once Mr.Ska opened that door.

So THIS is what happens when you combine Marie Antoinette with Communism.

The girl is singing, "Slav'sya, Otechestvo nashe svodbodnoye, Druzhby narodov nadyozhny oplot!" (Which is the first 2 lines of the chorus of the Soviet national anthem).

I love this blog.

"Grandpa? All these years Grandpa was a cake, and no one told me?"

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermadrobins

For my birthday, can we have a grandma cake?

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLis.

Why on Earth would you need a cake that looks like Lenin?!? It reminds me of the preggo woman in the tub. Both are very disturbing... Ordering a case of the unicorn chaser now!

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Is it going to bleed?

Unicorn Chaser...hysterical. I love that listed amongst the feel-good herbal ingredients you find GLITTER! I'm happy already!

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermoochmom

Is it wrong that I'm hoping the dead Lenin cake is red velvet?

July 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJezebel
