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? ;)

Anyone else thinking we're heading toward a server overload 'cause of wreckies madly hitting refresh as we wait for results from Zach and/or Savannah? :-) These kind of things should come with time zone labels. :-p

Wishing for wonderful things for Zach & Savannah!

February 17, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMegan M.

@Emily -- the dogs are actual copies of the couple's three pugs -- which raises their AW-worthiness.

This is the first time I've ever posted a comment on CW, after years of reading (and laughing), but I just had to congratulate Savannah and Zach - and hope that your lives together are as happy and sweet as these cakes!

Thanks, Sharyn, for another fun compilation and composition! Loved the Monty Python cake!

Congrats to Zach and Savannah!

If you want to see another wonderful sweet, follow the link to the baker's site for the proposal cake; scroll through her gallery of fondant cake examples--she has several photos of a cake that looks like a stack of pancakes! Wow!

February 17, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTwinMom

Pst, a rabbit is a lagomorph, not a rodent. I know that doesn't scan, but I'm a pedant that way.

February 17, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterInterrobang
