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? ;)

Guess What!

It's time to play everyone's favorite game:

What...Is...THIS??

Hm. Well, it says, "Princess," and there's a scepter and a tiara on it.

So I'm going with "uterus."

Uh...

Also "uterus."

"Uterus on LSD."

"Uterus with sprinkles"

"This is getting ridiculous."

And finally, today's bonus round is in the bag:

The magic baby bag.

Awww yeeeeeah.

Hey, Mandi B., Elizabeth A., Vicktoria R., Caitlin & Anthony, Kelly J., & Shayna S., you know how to politely refuse a uterus cake, right? "Thanks, but I gestate."

Wow. I started laughing after reading the comment on the first one and it only got worse (better?) from there. Thanks for putting a smile on my uterus..face! I mean face!

WV: Polatio. Wasn't he the old guy in Hamlet who never stopped talking?

"Thanks, but I gestate."

Well, there's our secret password to the bunker for the next Epcot! Now, if we can only agree on a secret handshake nothing will stop us from achieving world domination!!

All good little Texas Longhorns learn during sex ed in school that the uterus with ovaries & fallopian tubes attached resembles our beloved Bevo (the Longhorn's) head. Hook'em!

"This one looks like you...with breasts". I am glad that everyone else is seeing uteri (?). I love the LSD one the best. I too wonder what it was supposed to be.

Brilliant entry, as usual King Friday.

I *think* the psychedelic uterus is supposed to be a rainbow in the sky, and the yellow cupcakes are pots of gold? I mean, St Patty's day did just happen so it's very likely there's a couple of ugly rainbow cakes that nobody bought still laying around. If that's not it, uh.... I got nothing.

Also, I sent a friend of mine the bare image, no name attached to it or nothing and he said "a vague symbol for the female reproductive system?" Swears he didn't check the site first.

Does this mean if anyone eats one of those "cakes" they get pregnant? Lol. Scary. Maybe they want to encourage pregnancy by..erm having people eat those horrifying things. That or encourage people to just avoid sex altogether. Evil wreckerators.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Homerisms: "It's uterUS, not uterYOU!"

So many terrifying disguises...But Paradise Pink and heart-shaped SPRINKLES? Will they stop at nothing?

March 24, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBaillie

@Sharon - oh, is THAT what it's supposed to be?! Seriously, that one does look like a uterus!

@LillyW - the plural of uterus is uteri.

The "pucker up" one is definitely meant to be lips. So is the sprinkle one (look only at the lines the sprinkles make - it's lips with really long smile-line extensions) - but looks way more like a uterus!! Last one is definitely meant to be a handbag, but I agree with the commenter who said it looks like underwear (I have some that are exactly the reverse - black with pink polka dots!)

The LSD one, probably a butterfly? Or maybe a happy face (:D type) - orange is the eyes, whole inner area is the open happy mouth. That would be a Pokemom or alien or something's happy face, of course... maybe a Na'vi, since it's blue with orange eyes?

The first one - I really don't know either, maybe a beauty queen sash? That'd make more sense without the scepter, but if it was supposed to have to do with Disney's Belle (which is what that word under Princess is - Belle) it should be yellow. It doesn't really look that much like a uterus either, though - the stomach idea is closer, hah!

WV: bundi. "Dese cakes, dey all got a bundi oven."

Ahh...this is a horrible game to play when you're already hallucinating!

I'm not all joking. I didn't take anything TO hallucinate. I took two things, under doctor's orders, to help get rid of a medical condition. They are now helping me find two other things because both of these meds, AND walking Pneumonia itself, can all cause hallucinations. Joy joy! My first trip and it wasn't even planned!

(OK Kids, by the way, trips like this aren't worth paying for or worse yet risking your life over. My "visions" today included a feint little circle of light across the room, which scared me cause I thought I might be heading for it, feint pastel shapes that were about a decipherable as these cakes, pink splotches that stayed in my sight wherever I was look, and twirling letters sort of superimposed on a shirt on the floor across the room. And though all but the first were pretty tame I've had panic attacks with this too. If you've ever been to a lazer show...this was nothing like it (lazer show was much cooler...heck, discovery store is much cooler).

(Staying anonymous because well...medical stuff. Have fun with this so long as you don't use my name. It is true, but more than I want to share with anyone who might know me or meet me or spam me. ).

This definitely takes the pretty out of pink. What were these people thinking?

cake 3...how could you not see the uterus as you were decorating!

March 24, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterTraci

The "uterus with sprinkles" is clearly supposed to be lips. I don't know how the two could ever be mixed up.

Are you sure you don't have a pun in the oven?

March 25, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

General Foods International Coffees Suisse Mocha Cafe spew all over the monitor upon the first instance of "uterus". Ensuing mad laughter wakes neighbor at 6AM.

Love it.

I would totally use the rainbow uterus cake to congratulate a lesbian couple on getting their first child. ;)

March 26, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAnna

Uterus with sparkles.... Definitely a wreck but I see a mouth outline. Maybe I just don't get uterus cakes! Haha

I had a hysterectomy a month ago. Tonight, I'm hurting a lot, just when I thought I was just about healed up. Then I saw this and it made my night so much better. Thank you for the laugh!

I gotta agree - pure uterus-r-us-.....es....?
Nothing wrong with making an ode/homage to the female reproductive elements - but why in cakey form?
Maybe it should be in the "muffin" form - ccc?

Actually, that last one could be a bovine (cow) uterus-- the dots look like placentomes.

my son thinks the first pink thing is a SOCK. could be... and his take on the last thing is apparently a SWEATER to him. he does have an amazing imagination :) thanks for the laughs! these make my own cakes look so incredible in comparison.
