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? ;)

Jerry says: "But I don't wanna be a monkey!"

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRachelle

My first thought was George Bush...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterYooperJane

This monkey is um...different...not that there's anything wrong with that.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentermetzdarling

My fav quote from Seinfeld is, 'is your head smooth? Can you fly? Then you can be a parakeet.' I don't know why.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRJ

It's a perfect match. Give it to Jerry for Festivus!

Thanks for a chance at your giveaways this week!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKelly

Strangely, that is better done than many deliberate portraits.

just sayin'...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLaura, Ben, and family

Hey, I love that Seinfeld cake! It reminds me of that episode...yeah... that one!!
Pick ME!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterYvette

That's a bit creepy...and nope not just you!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMelissa

That monkey makes me nervous!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJM

Too bad he's not wearing a brown sweater. Otherwise it's pretty close resemblance. OK...I don't recall Jerry having a tail. I think George might have?? (Name that movie)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLindalou

Congrats winners!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjanitabean

Wahoo for Cake Wrecks books & calendars!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAlexis A.

I think the monkey may be a bit more handsome...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Walker

Seinfeld jokes are lost on this Seinfeld-deprived-Brit :(

I need a shot of USAwreckage to make up for it *batts eyelashes in a cute way*

and if that doesn't work, can I bribe you with cute British accent or the promise of Prince William**

**or anyone British you lust for.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRoomfor2

I want a calendar, please!

Shelley in So. Illinois

(It would make a great birthday present!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

The likeness is uncanny! Makes you wonder which celebrity they really were trying to mimic.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterkelly

Love your site!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentereggcetra_farms

contest entry!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCat

that wreck is a perfect likeness!!!!!! lol. the wreckerator should get a prize!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKassia S.

Next time they need to be sure to get his good side :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterprincess jen

Is it just me or is that monkey trying out for contortionist of the year?

Lets see hip hind end is facing front and he's looking at me front the same side and he feet are also as if his legs are pointing out towards me. And what is happening with those arms and that tail!?!

Look at that smile...he must be doing it on purpose!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterIsolder74

Love me some Seinfeld and some Cake Wrecks. Thanks for the Friday laughs!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterErin

please enter me in your contest :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Kristine

I'm not sure what part of the monkey it's supposed to be, but those are frosting boobs! However, the frosting banana was fairly well made. Not so well made that it makes up for hurting my eyes...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterDiane B.

I always knew Jerry was a monkey. Also, yay contest!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFixer

I can't tell if that banana is frosting or plastic...and that is one ugly monkey!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnissa

What's the deal with the monkey's white parts?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJonathan & Jennifer

Maybe it's just me, but that monkey has a NSFW banana, too.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKrystine

Ahahaha...that is SO WRONG. :D

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStoich91

I would love the calendar to hang in our bakery! A gentle reminder to always check your work! None of us suck at decorating, but spelling is another thing!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterditto

Festivus is soon approaching and I would love a CW calendar under my pole ;)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSuBee

Currently there are 266 comments on here. It's very unlikely you'll pick this one.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertomreeswilliams

So here's the deal. The Christmas before last I bought my friend the Cakewrecks book, which I didn't give to her until her birthday. But that's beside the point. I had this book in its wrapping for quite some time having leafed through it once. Staring at the wrapping. Thinking over and over again about unwrapping it and keeping it for myself.

So she unwraps this book at her party, squeals, then pushes it over to the side to busy herself with other activities. And me, longingly, looking at the book. I haven't heard from the book.

I don't know how it's doing. I assume the book isn't receiving my letters as it's not writing back. I mean, how hard is it for a book to pick up a pen and a postcard and send notice?

In fact, I'm a little worried for the book's safety. Or, at the very least, its emotional stability. But at any rate. I miss that Cakewrecks book so much. And would love to somehow be reunited. Even if it meant sending a completely different Cakewrecks book to me. Or a calender. To a lesser extent.

It's like bananas. In some way. And Jerry Seinfeld in another.

The end.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGreen

I used to like Seinfeld... and I used to like Monkeys...

now? not so much

(and I need a copy of your book to give me fits of giggles when my internet goes out!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterT

I would love a calendar! We already have a signed copy of the book. Well, its a book sticker that Jen signed and i affixed to the inside cover for my boyfriend last Christmas. He squealed like a 5 yr old gettin a bigwheel! Its been a huge hit amongst guests. And by "hit" I mean crying fits of laughter. Thanks for the good times!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHalesbales

Would love the cake wrecks book! Thanks for the chance to win one!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMila's Mom

"See, the thing of it is, there's a lot of ugly people out there walking around but they don't know they're ugly because nobody actually tells them." -Jerry Seinfeld quote
Perhaps the same is true for CCC. CCC atrocities exist on this earth because no one told them they're ugly! lol. Just saying....

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMr.Sprinkles

I would love to win! :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTeri

Oooh ooooh Oooh pick me!!!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

Happy belated birthday John!

Would love to be entered in the draw.
:o)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCinzia

Why do CCCs continue to exist? Sigh...but I would LOVE to win! :)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAllison

Hahaha oh my goodness.. I'm going to see Jerry Seinfeld do standup tomorrow night and I don't know if I'll be laughing because I find him funny or now I'll have this mental picture of him as a monkey holding a banana!!!
