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? ;)

The Men of Marvel

Note: This post is not appropriate for young children. And the older ones will be all, "Ooooohh! I'm gonna tell DADDY!!" so you might lock them out, too.

Spiderman's dirty little secret revealed:


Now that's a Dynamic Duo.

Here's one of the lesser-known heroes, Essenem Man:

He may not be much of a fighter, but he is always on the ball.

GRRAAA!! HULK TENSE!!

HULK TRY RELIEVE TENSION.

The good news: little Ryder had no idea why his mom was in such a hurry to cut the cake.

The bad news: everyone else at the party did.

Liz D., Kristen C., Mark F., & Rebecca J., I would tell you who my favorite superhero is, but I'm afraid it's a three-way tie.

Note: If you're wondering, the second cake is supposed to be Batman. Obviously.

Ha. The "Batman" cake is much more obvious to anybody who has spent time running around in a "gimp suit" during a certain Grand Theft Auto game.
The Hulk seems to be missing a hand, so I thought he was doing something other than um, giving himself a hand... oh wait, I guess that still counts.
My captcha says "Syclizz". Sounds like a suss superhero name that might find themselves in the same battle as Orgasmo. I don't know why.

For some reason Superman's mascara made me think he was crying the first time I looked at that last cake.

Added a whole new dimension of drama to the thing...

Spiderman wants everyone to think he's a DC character.

That Hulk cake must have been created by a master baker. With that out of the way...

Having a combined celebration is a wreck in itself (in a 'less cake' sense, ok?).

An anniversary (let alone birthday) cake depicting the Hulk 'getting a grip' is multi-dimensionally wrong. It's like an error fractal (pattern that repeats on many scales).

Poor Hulk -- obviously he's not master of his domain.

Ummm... wow. It's too bad. That last cake could have been super. I think the wreckerator was just put into a bad position.

The super trio cake (last one) is very finely detailed and drawn, for having come probably from a supermarket. It would not have been a Cake Wreck at all ... if only there had been better ... positioning of the heroes?
