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? ;)

It took me longer than I care to admit to figure out what that word was supposed to be.
Maybe it's actually a cake about American exceptionalism.
wv: s-cces --- An act of accomplishment that does not include U.
Oh, Oh! I see a missing apostrophe! I mean, I don’t see the missing apostrophe! Well, like, you know, an apostrophe is missing!!! Squee!!!!
XXXOOO
Well, they may have only gotten 1/4 of the words correct and added unnecessary quotes, but at least they included a huge pee-yellow "star"!That really makes all the difference, don't you think?
This is when I wish we could post photos on comments. I have SO many meme photos that would work here! But as George Takei would say, "Oh myy!"
Next time they should make the cake say "We can't spell S-CCES without US!" At least they'd hit all the letters.
I'm with Captain Sisco on this one.
It reminds me of this Facebook Fail that a co-worker shared with me.
I would add...
Is there some sort of scholarship fund we can contribute to for grammatically-challenged, spelling-impaired bakers?
Well, I can't spell "CAN'T" without an apostrophe, or "SUCCESS" without the third "S". I was also under the delusion that "WITHOUT" was one word. Your turn, cake. =^-.-^=
Perhaps this particular baker has never had occasion to use the word before. Did ya ever think of that, huh?
It took me a while to notice that something got scraped off next to SPELL, also. Maybe the missing S?
Yes, I agree with Avery Brooks. There is no hope.
Poor Captain Sisko. He shouldn't have let Rom decorate the cake for Employee Appreciation Night. Sure, Rom's a brilliant engineer, but cake decorating should always be left to the pros. We all know that they always get it right, right? Ummm...right?
That GIF is perfect for how I feel right now...
@SaraCVT you nailed it!
Maybe the wreckorator should have stopped after "We Cant Spell". It would have been more accurate. I am currently re-watching the entire series of DS9 so I definitely feel for Captain Sisko.
So so close. *sigh*
Aw, mel -- er, I mean, "elm" -- I miss the ol' WVs...
"I CANT b-liev my I's"
This deserves a few more starship captain facepalms.
@AngelaS--There's no "P" in "Star!"
I am aware this is not a widely-held view, but I always considered Sisko to be the best Starfleet captain portrayed, because he has That Voice. With that Voice alone, he could make ME split infinitives man had never split before and seek out new places before I had time to think: I'd just automatically do it! High officers need A Voice, and he's the only one who had it.
But there are many, MANY purists/feminists/Britophiles who disagree.
Sisko is my favorite Captain from Star Trek, too!
S-U-C-C-E-S-S!
That's how we spell SUCCESS!!
Goooooooo Tigers!
(that was actually a cheer I learned in elementary school)
The Sisko facepalm totally made my day.
Oh @SarahCVT, now you've done it.it's not like Star Trek fans are known for our lack of passion or anything. You don't think Patrick Stewart has The VOICE? Especially when he said, "The line must be drawn he-ah! And no furtha!"?
I'll bet they can spell FAIL, though.
It's Kirk, no matter what. It's. that. speech. pattern. Plus hair.
Missing apostrophe? Check.
Misspelling? Check.
Bad word-spaciing skills? Check.
Open-ended quotation marks? Check.
Yes Johnnie! You've passed your final exam for the Wreckerators' School of Doom. Here's your certificate. Now, go forth and wreak havoc in bakeries everywhere!
LOL @jackwire!
@Sharyn: me too....
Well now I can't stop laughing. That GIF is perfect for this. Honestly wonder what on earth wreckerators are doing in the bakery at night..probably drinking and decorating lol.
@AngelaS:
Oh, absolutely Jean-Luc Picard. Make it so.
=^-.-^=
What about Capt. Kathryn Janeway? Instead of 75 years to get back to the Aloha Quadrant it only took her 7 Seasons. Now that's a something even Kirk wouldn't of done.
