Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want
March 5, 2010 Sometimes when a cake makes no sense, it's helpful to ask yourself, "What do you suppose the customer asked for?"
Insults 101: When calling a girl a dog, it's always helpful to be breed-specific.
(For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that's not how Mrs. Hopperband spells her name.)"Look, I just want what every girl wants for her birthday: a big- a$$ cake!"
Eh. [shrugging] As I'm sure every cake-loving girl would agree: close enough. Pass the forks!Sometimes you just want a sugary baked good for no reason at all. And yet, without an inscription, what can Wreckerators wreck? That's why they're so adamant that your cake say something.
And that's also why we get Wrecks like these:

I love the Big Ass Cake, I'd consider asking for that for my birthday.
The big arse lettering on the big a&* cake is actually quite well-done!
'SNOT FAIR!!!
I WANNA BIG ASS CAKE TOO!!!!!!
GIMMEE!!!GIMMEE!!!GIMMEE!!!!
*throws all dollies out of pram and sulks*
I love the happy exclamation point after "basset hound." I like to imagine the cake was made for 2 pets--a female donkey and a dog who is a basset hound.
Hey at least they spelled "congratulations" correctly.
The BAC made my husband laugh, deviled eggs everywhere. Thanks, Jen.
I'm not touching Ho Thing Special. You can't make me.
Well how about that! Nice to see my last name on a cake and a post here on the Cake Wrecks site. Yup, it was h*ll on wheels as a youngster being called hound and being female. My brother had not one whit of a problem with that handle. The Bassett name, at one time, was statistically in the top 2000 common names in the USA. Thanks for the grins, always!
I can TOTALLY see someone calling in and specifically requesting a big a** cake. I bet that was intentional. In which case, it's hilarious.
Have to say, I'd be more than happy with a BIG A$$ CAKE, though I'd be happy to share with Jenny the Basset Hound...
Hey, big ass cake does not belong! It is full of win!
Co-worker 1: What kind of cake do you want for your birthday?
Co-worker 2: I don't care, as long as it's a big-ass cake. We've got a lot of co-workers to feed.
Result: The BIG ASS CAKE.

The Big Ass Cake is the funniest cake you've had up here in months! It's rare a cake is LOL-worthy without the additional funny dialogue from you guys. This really speaks for itself. OMFGLOLL
Not familiar with T-pain, but I'd have guessed the Big Ass Cake was on purpose just because it actually looks pretty well done -evenly spaced, correctly spelled, etc.
HA HA HA! I can always count on you guys to make me laugh even when I'm having a crap day at work! Thanks for these!
Ho Thing Special!
The BIG ASS CAKE should be under "Cake MASTERPIECES." Unless it's a smallish cake. Then it's totally a wreck.

Ah Jen, thank you so much for two postings in a row of my favourite sort of wreck, the ones I characterize as "the under neat wreck." You are too good to us.
My second favourite is the missed mark wedding cakes. I hope you have some more lopsided two-tiered round brown cakes alongside their three-tiered, square burgundy models.
wv: vantsm - I always vantsm more of these sidesplitting wrecks.
About the Band Bride cake
I suspect this is congratulating someone about to get married and they wanted a wedding band and a bride on the cake along with the congratulations message and this got written down as "band, bride on it".
I'd be worried the 'Nothing Special' was truth in advertising moment.
Especially as it pops up (assuming) the morning after the the Big A$$ Cake night.

I just had a birthday and I didn't get a cake. So next year I am requesting a Big Ass Cake!! I better get it too! :)
Thanks for the many laughs!!
Lol. I had to fix a cake that our decorator did once. It was a Happy Birthday Tweety cake. Which is the name of the edible image. They didn't want any writting on the cake.
The new person in the bakery wrote on the slip "Happy Birthday Tweety" and the decorate put the image on the cake (good) but wrote on the cake "Happy Birthday Tweety!" (bad) I had to do my best to scrape of Tweety. Oh my.
Am I the only one who's interpreting this as "hot thing special"? I realize there's only one t, but since it's capitalized...
At least it wasn't SHAPED like a big a$$! Who would want to eat that kind of cake?
I would die happy if I got the Big Ass Cake XD
I love the big ass cake! (That cake could have taken a terrible turn, but I'm thankful that it didn't!)
So, I thought CW2 said "Band Bride," and I'm wondering, "what is a "band bride?"
Then the Big Ass Cake. Not "big-ass" as in, "Wow, that's a big-ass car you're driving," but more like Big
Ass-Cake. What would an ass cake look like? I shudder.
The Big Ass Cake is bad ass.
Perfect timing for this on fb this came up with the Big A$$ Cake picture and someone had just asked me what kind of cake I was going to make for my birthday so I shared the link and said. "This is what I am making" LOL! LOVE IT!
Is that last one a Ho Thing Special? Maybe that's the appetizer for the Big Ass Cake.
I love the Big A** cake! :D At least it didn't include any anatomy. Pass me a fork! Or better yet, give me the place's number so I can place an order for my next birthday party at work. They'd get a kick out of it.
So did T-Pain originally order a "Big-Ass Chain," which only came about due to an error and really belongs on a website somewhere called "Jewelry Wrecks?" Instead of complaining, maybe he realized he'd found the gimmick he'd been looking for, and he wisely decided to wear it with pride. Now, he's stuck with it on his birthday, too. That's show-biz for ya! :D
This blog never fails to make me laugh out loud. THANK YOU for sharing these confectionary disasters!
Ok that big ass cake.. is it warning us what will happen if we even attempt to eat it? If so that still wouldn't stop me I would grab my fork and dig right in lol.. sometimes I think these wreckerators are trying to drive their victims insane on purpose.
Maybe the (now) Mrs Hopper and her sweetheart were both in the marching band...hence, a band bride. I know several band couples from my marching band days (college) who got married. It sounds like the sort of thing those crazy band people might say...you know, filtered through a wreckerator.
Before clicking on the last one, I thought it said "hotwing special" and got all excited about eating hot wings and cookies. Sadly, I was mistaken. And now I'm hungry.
The Basset Hound cake is hilarious! If you've ever seen Madagascar 2, then you should totally get the inside joke on this cake. The only thing cakewrecky about it is the terrible handwriting and misspelling of "Basset."
At least that last one has sprinkles.
"What do you want for your birthday?"
"Nothing special..."
"Oh, c'mon!"
"BIG ASS CAKE!"
The Basset Hound could have been making a reference to Madagascar 2 at the end when they are playing telephone with the monkeys and instead of "pass it on", they say "basset hound"
