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 hate to jump on the BP-bashing wagon - and I hope you'll forgive me for being crude - but this sarcastic eco-wreck cake was simply too slick to pass up.
Thanks to skooksie & craftylildevil for spilling the...beans. By the way, I hear cake goes great with Texas tea.
UPDATE! Today, we have a special treat for all our RSS readers: an ad wreck!

This wreckitywreckwreck = boo
John + Jen = Yay!
Shalene's comment = me giggling uncontrollably for a really long time.
I'd like to thank everyone involved in today's production.
teeheehehehehehehehee...oh, Shalene, you really win.
Oooh just looking at that cake made me feel sick..would anyone survive eating it? All that black gooey frosting and the shine it has I think my insides would turn black permanently and I would live in the bathroom forever lol.
I'm always a little alarmed by people who try to dictate what you guys post on your blog, as if you're providing a civic service paid for by their hard-earned tax dollars. (Also, "I doubt you will post this" commenters are a HUGE pet peeve of mine. :-P)
I don't care what you post, I come back every day, mostly because of the bad-baking-induced hilarity, but maybe also because John's replies to commenters like this give me a strange sense of satisfaction in this internet world of no-consequences.
That said, this is one of the most tasteless cakes I've ever seen... so why do I feel like the bakers deserve a cookie? I suspect this cake may be a sarcasm win.
Love you guys, as always!
I'd just like to say that implying another person is a coward while calling them a hypocrite via an anonymous name is an absolutely hilarious and pointless contradiction.
Oh, this cake..... How did they get that texture for the water/oil?
I'm probably the 90th person to ask but I mean, really. How?
Prayers for the families affected short and long term by this mess.....
Wow!
I think people are more ticked at anon#1 than they are about the oil spill! LOL!
The cake is icky and funny...we'll call it ficky...
Gosh, I wish I'd been told cakes could be used as political commentary, I'd have baked my socks off a couple of weeks ago before the British elections...
John & Jen, I salute your patience & fortitude under the onslaught of so many pairs of knickers getting in a twist.
(I wanted to make a reference to pouring oil on troubled waters...too soon?)
For those asking about the texture on teh water, it looks like piping gel that's been colored to me. I can't be sure, but it certainly doesn't look like sugar work, so I'm going with gel.
PS. As I've stated many times, Jen & John rock. :)
When will we get to see a "bootheel on the neck" cake?
I think the wonderful people who will be spending so much time cleaning up this mess deserve such a cake!
Your puns have devastated me, yet left me in awe. I salute you.
Oh that is perfect!!
Ooh, Anonymous, you are so wrong. If BP had buggered up my beautiful sea next to me, I would have MUCH more to say about it than you kindly Americans. Hazel Woodward, Cape Town, South Africa.
