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 think winning a Cake Wrecks calendar will make my cold go away. I hate the first cold of the season. Maybe I should eat a banana.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJen B

Oh dear.. thats a little scary...
maybe its better than just having a straight up http://cake-decorating.lovetoknow.com/Image:BananaCupcakeCake.jpg" rel="nofollow">Banana CCC?

or maybe not...

anyway. your book would be number one in my book collection. and I have a LOT of books..

I LOL at this one.. The resemblance is uncanny. HA ha ha...
As for the strategically place flesh colored blobs I was thinking lower than boobs. But it just doesn't look right for anything. (snicker)

I would be honored to win anything. Thanks for the drawings.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNana Rogers

I would love some Cakewrecks goodies :D

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKarasu

*crosses fingers* MUST WIN!!

About three times a month I have a day made of sheer fecal matter. Then I come here and the diarrhea washes away and I realize what a gift my life really is.

Cake Wrecks like an e-baby wipe.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMissNay

Ha :) Cute.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCathy and Andrea

Hahaha Seinfeld. That makes the creepiness of the monkey's anatomy even creepier.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStay at home Muse

Eh, I don't see the resemblance. What I do see, however, is a monkey CCC trapped in a too-small cage.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMJ

I love Seinfeld! I love this blog too! Hope I win!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSheri G

The resemblance is uncanny! How bizarre!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenteratlasofambrosia

Nothing original today, dashing out the door but stopping by to say - pick me! PICK ME! PICK ME!!!!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

crazy ccc = jerry seinfeld?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterNami H.

It's a fairly well done if they were going for a human face on a monkey's body. Which in and of itself is frightening.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKathryn

ROFL! That is too funny!! I WILL be sharing this!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMargie

Very scary resemblance! Except for the boobs and tail, of course.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterPaige

Would love to win your book!

Btw, that was a pretty good Seinfeld you did there...

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSweetB

Holy moley that looks just like him!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterd.Rooks

Ummm, yeah. It's totally not just you.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMia

FUNNY and CREEPY! I thought it was awesome you found a photo of Seinfeld with a banana!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSandy

Someone obviously asked for that picture to be made into the ever-dreaded CCC.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterekerstng

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSandyG

No, it's not just you. The monkey is more handsome ;)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterViiriƤinen

There are just sooooooo many cupcake cakes around these days!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKathy in Oshvegas

So, does the comment have to be funny? Or is it a random kinda thing? I seriously would love a book or a calendar, but I can't think of anything super-witty to say, lol.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

LOL - how DO you recognize these things? ;)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTeresa

Is that a frosting banana? is that a fake banana? Regardless, it makes me uncomfortable!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGail

Lol that is too funny! The mouth is perfect >.<

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJustine McD.

I thought the first picture WAS Jerry Seinfeld :O

WV: redrat -- when drat isn't enough

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer

I hope Laura M wins a prize - her comment made me absolutely crack up.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLoza

*comment comment comment*

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenter:: miss m ::

I was more concerned with the backleg covered in frosting squiggles under the two round white cupcakes LOL! See where you make my mind go!!!

(first time poster, long time reader, facebook fan, and I've been known to make wrecks myself!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered Commenternepamom

I can't think about Jerry Seinfeld without thinking about a guy I once dated who was obsessed with Seinfeld. Every time we hung out, he made us watch it while he talked about how brilliant it was. Eh, it was a fun show. I enjoyed it, like a lot of other people. But I wasn't ready to commit to it for the long haul.

Oh yeah, and a book would be awesome, to help me get over the memory of that time. ;)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStef likes cake

Yay for bananas (and free books!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Litwillers

That is rather a close resemblance.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterWho do you want to BE?

Ok.. the WV is

mantrie - as opposed to monkey...

mantrie is Jerry Seinfeld holding a banana.

Signed copy of the book? I'll pose with a banana if you like! :)

err... I mean.. hold a banana.. fruit.. in my HAND.

never mind. [blushes]

Whenever I am sad, I look at Cake Wrecks to make me happy. I'm in school for Baking right now and am about to graduate, hopefully I won't have to post some horrendous mess up on your site!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJulia

Hahah! I would love to win a copy of the book.

Thank you so much!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

Pick Me! Pick Me! I want a book (ESPECIALLY one signed by Jen! WOWEE!)

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterThe Laws'

Yikes.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterB

I think I;m a little more put off by whatevver is going on with that "belly" & "foot"

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy's Cooking Adventures

Wow, there actually is a resemblance!

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterM

I'm confused... is the string of three cupcakes to the right a limb or is that "monkey" having a poo?

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCrystal

It sort of does look like him! Or maybe a mix of him and Kramer...hmm.

November 5, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJess B

Jen,
Cakewrecks makes my evening commute on a crowded train nightly bearable! Love it, even when people look at me funny as I'm stifling laughter while staring at my phone!

Please put me in the running for the contest!!!
