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? ;)

BREASTS OF FURY

I don't know about you, but when *I* get an e-mail with "BREASTS OF FURY" in the subject line, I tend to read that one first.

Happily, this particular submission didn't disappoint:

 

 They DO seem kinda angry...

 

Sadly Melanie T. didn't include an explanation for her cake, so we're left to devise our own theories - and in book title format, of course.

Here, I'll get us started:

 

1) When Fembots Attack


2) Put Out Your Heart Light, and Turn On Your Head Lights

 

3) Shelly the Turtle/Airplane Hybrid and the Exploding, Somewhat Leaky BAZOOMS OF DOOM!! (Now With Balloons!)

 

K, the floor is now open. YOUR TURN.

 

***************

IMPORTANT 12/10 UPDATE: Melanie tells she went back to the same store this week and saw *another* cake, same drawing and everything, in the case. So she broke down and asked the baker what the heck it's supposed to be. You'll never guess. Are you ready? Like, really REALLY ready?

It's a walrus. Allegedly.

Please, scroll on up there and see if YOU can figure it out. 'Cuz I'm still stuck doing this:

Also, I need more Bill Murray gifs in my life - although he'll always be Peter Venkman to me. ;)

I tried rotating the image, and it does seem to be a sort of... er... catlike creature with a propeller head and nostrils on its chin... which makes perfect sense, except for the upside-down balloons, of course.

LOL, am I the only one picturing everone turning their laptops and monitors upside down? : )))

As for a caption, I got nuthin!

I see a walrus, I think the "explosions" are supposed to be whiskers and the two long ovals are tusks? I like the other answers better. Good cake for the morning after your first child is born when you wake up with those rock-hard stripper boobs of agony.

Alright I admit.... after reading the comments I turned my laptop upside down (yes, I actually picked it up and turned it upside down lol) and I think Ubi is right.... I think it is a bunny which leads to the questions.... why is the bunny upside down or.... are the balloons upside down? Hmmmm.......

Sorry. No clever titles from me. I am too consumed with curiosity as to what this is supposed to BE! If I pay $19 for a cake, it better not end up being a Rorshach test.

All the Manatee references make me think of the Veggie Tales song Barbara Manatee...now I know what she looks like!

I'm thinking this is actually the bottom of an airplane that's flying in the sky. I mean, who wouldn't pay $18.99 for a cake with the bottom of an airplane on it?

I am the Melanie T. who submitted this cake. I snapped the picture (furtively) in the grocer's case, so there IS no explanation - at least that I know of. But it should be noted that when I was shopping the next week, there was ANOTHER cake in the case in this same design. Or possibly the same cake. I don't know which would worse.

I am starting to think it is a walrus...the leaking breast milk is actually tusks. The ninja star nipples are walrus whiskers?? I still can't figure out why the walrus has a nose.....

Or it's leaky breasts. :)

It's supposed to be a walrus!

I think....

The drippy things were meant to be tusks, on the circles are the jowls with whiskers on them.

The "legs" are actually flippers.

I saw this exact cake at a store that will remain nameless. I took a pic using my "dumb" phone, which means I didn't submit it, but STILL! This is the EXACT SAME CAKE!! The reactions I got from different people were, "Someone needs to nurse REALLY badly!" and "Wow, that looks like it's for a bachelor party!"

Get it while you can; it was panned by the critics.

It seems like there hasn't been an EPCOT in quite a while. This one tried to get going, but it flopped (couldn't resist a reference to the main theme).

@Sharyn-The Intolerable Milk! LOL I think that's the best, although I am also partial to 50 Shades of Whey, by Jackwire.
My first thought when I saw them was, why are the breasts crying?
I have no caption of my own, although I do see Bugs Bunny if I turn it upside down.

I couldn't see them- seriously! I was seeing maracas with little tassels coming off and then: ooohhhhhh, pasties!!! (looking at John)

okay, I was doing shout outs on the ones that made me hoot with joy, laugh like a hyena and (maybe/maybe not) wet myself. Freakin' long list, I'm telling ya. so, I ditched it. GROUP HUG (hey, no groping!)

Unless you've been warned that you will turn into a milk shower head when you take a shower as a newly lactating mom, it can be a little disconcerting.
