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? ;)

Put The Coffee DOWN

It's not often that a baker submits on of his/her own creations for us to pick on. But Maayan, who both bakes and documents funny food horrors, did just that.

The following diet-assisting monstrosity was actually ordered by a customer. And what is it?


Go ahead, guess. I'll wait...

Spaghetti with tomato-y cream sauce?

An ear?

A cherry, Cheez-Whiz and regurgitation torte?

Nope, nope and nope! Give up?

It's a fetus-with-an-iPod pie!

Uh, I guess fetus cookies would have been going too far?

Thanks to Maayan Z. for being such a great sport!

Oh. My. Word. (And, LOL to "Taylor (My Older Brothers)".)

I don't know what's worse:
a-someone ASKED for this
or
b-maker of this wretched sent it in to be mocked.

Seriously???
FAIL

Yuck!!!! Now if the fetus' skin didn't look so bubbly, then it might be just weird. But as it is - *shudder*

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKristine

Um. With the diet-inducing theme, I thought it was a stomach surrounded by intestines (the wormy things) and thought the Ipod was the stapling device the put in to make your stomach smaller. Thought maybe the occasion was somebody learning to equate mega cake/pie consumption with the consequences...
I'd love to know the real back story. Lily

My first thought was a iPod stomach.

But a fetus? That's just sad and slightly vomit inducing.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMeg

oh, eew. That's worse than the Bodyworlds Exhibit.

Mmmm, cut me a slice of foetus pie!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDiana

WHY?!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterbeagle

Wierd, gross and gross again!!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenternurseknitsalot

Very Interesting.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenternurseknitsalot

That is disgusting!
My guess was lap band surgery what with the noodle-like instestines and all...

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJamie

Ew... gross. REALLY gross. I actually thought it was meant to be brain matter or something. I can't decide if that would have been more or less disturbing that the fetus.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenteraimee

Ummm, EW! That image will stay with me forever. Thanks for that.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSariah

That is truly frightening. Reminds me of Harlequin Fetus.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterZombie Julie

If you check out the picture of a human embryo/fetus at 5 weeks (sans IPod), you can see that the Wreckorator actually did a first-rate job! http://library.thinkquest.org/C0122429/pictures/embryo.gif

:Gag:

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Pardon me while I puke! I don't get the wormy looking stuff around that baby. That can't be right.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTracy H

I saw this an my first thought was 'braaaaiiiinnnnsss'.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterstr4y

I honestly thought it was supposed to represent a lapband surgery.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterladycrim

I'm with whoever commented some posts above that this looked like it was meant to commemorate a surgeon's whoopsie. 'Hey, sorry about that. Have some pie as consolation.'

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMaggiethecat

okay I should know by now not to be eating when I click on your blog. Throwing away my yogurt I had been enjoying before now.....I thought it was a cochlear implant too.

wv - topuck..as in "what topuck is that?!"

*******RRRRRAAAAALLLLPH*******

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterwoodruffbn

I'm sitting here with my head cocked sidways to the left, then to the right, then to the left a little farther. One eye closed, squinting, mouth open..... and then my coworker asks if I'm okay.

WV: unforti.... unforti-nutely I'll never be the same again after seeing what I just saw.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

ewwwwww!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTwirlie Whirlies

It would go great with some fava beans and a nice key-ant-tee!!!

;-)

(is this a duplicate? if so feel free to delete it.)

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

Funny, I looked at it and thought, "well it LOOKS like a fetus with an ipod, so it's probably supposed to be a bluetooth in an ear."
Taylor, you slay me! It is, after all, an APPLE pie.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterChristina

Dude. I think that actually *is* a fetus.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

I was going to guess some sort of commentary on music/ipods rotting your brain. . .
"This is your brain on an Ipod"

Anyway you look at it - ewwww! Why would you request that and then serve it?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMeagan

I was hoping it was a cochlear implant. But yuck.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

...I have never truly been disgusted by any of the cakes here. This one has changed all that...

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterVellum

I think that is the most disgusting thing I've seen.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKaty

Since when do fetuses sit outside of the womb on a bed of intestine? Unless it's a guy having a baby.

Ooh, MPREG fetus with I-Pod.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterE.M. Green

That is the nastiest thing I have seen in some time! GROSS!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercfoxes

I know we're in a recession, and small businesses shouldn't turn away business for self-preservation, but SERIOUSLY? This is gross!!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I was thinking "intestines"? Someone swallowed an ipod?"

But oh my gosh, my mouth fell open when I read what it really was. Gack.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterKeeley

im not really sure how i feel about the fact that i guessed right...

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterhessica

OK.....guessing without looking at the rest of the post of what anyone else has said.....I'm going to guess that cake is to celebrate a clean colonoscopy!

off to read the rest of the blog and comments!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBarbara_in_WA

WTS????
Well....I guess I was in the general "area" of the body.....

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBarbara_in_WA

What on EARTH is the matter with people? Seriously?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered Commenteredder

Shut. Up.

No... really???

Ooookay then.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterWillow Tree

If the baker herself was kind enough to supply the photo, why didn't she also give us the backstory/explanation for her creation?
I would hate to think that she made it with just the instruction "a pie of a fetus with an iPod" and NO reason for it!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBin

I am trying to figure out how this request could have been done and not been a wreck.

WV: Uncinte. The Fetus Pie is enough to uncinte projectile vomiting.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

that is so gross!!!!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLucia

OMFG! I'll never look at pie again, I swear!

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCarrie Miller

Jeeze!!!!!! That is just nasty. What is wrong with people? Did someone really think that would be funny?

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterPaula

I think I may be one of the only ones who saw the image and thought "OMG, is that a fetus with an ipod?"

Really.

August 20, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterBecky K

First, fetus with an ipod pie, next placenta petit fours!
