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's Getting Hot In Here...

Today is Heat Awareness Day, so pay attention; this is important.

It's hot.*

*Not applicable in the majority of the North Eastern United States. Or the North Western parts. Or Canada. Or England. Or Australia. Or really anywhere else that isn't Florida right now.

And now, let us sing our traditional Heat Awareness Day song!

 

The heat is on!

 

The heat is o -- hon!

[guitar riff] Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.

 

The heat is on!

Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.

 

The heat is o -- hon!

Nanananana. Nananana. Na. Na.

 

Tell me can you feel it?

 

Tell me can you feel it?

 

TELL ME CAN YOU FEEL IT???

"Oh, I can feel it."

 

Well alrighty then.

 

Thanks to Julia K., Mary D., Meghan H., Miriam S., Richard B., M.R., & Amanda for keeping it hot, hot, hot.

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

Marbles melt off my cakey tonight
We spill the fat off the turkey tonight
Converging streams with my baby tonight
Carrot juice lookin’ flakey tonight
Bride throws fit in the bakery tonight
'Cause it's too darn hot

It's too darn hot
It's too darn hot

I'd like to cook Bambi tonight
And pitch the cakes at my baker tonight
I'd like to cook Bambi tonight
Pitch the cakes at my baker tonight
But you'll not find a Carrot Jockey in sight
'Cause it's too darn hot

I feel really bad for the white and black wedding cake - that was actually on the nice-side before it melted. I have NO sympathy for the bright pink cake since that was already a wreak :(

It's not a guitar riff, it's a sax riff. I know because I play sax. :)

That last one with the deer isn't so bad. Why is it there?

The answer, of course, is 42. How you arrive at it is your own journey.

Of course, we know the dolphins are leaving. they left a note saying, "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

LOL

Amen to that, Debbie. I used to work for Baskin Robbins, and the number of folks who couldn't comprehend the idea of an ice cream cake...

"Ooh, a cake. Well, we'll eat it after the rest of the picnic, and letting the kids burn off some energy playing baseball..."
"Sure, it's frozen, but it's in a box. That means it's ok for a two hour drive. We'll keep the AC on..."
"Will it melt?"

So yeah... A sizable amount of Baskins Wrecks are due to a bit of melting, though this may be before purchase...

... And then there were the cakes made by my color-blind boss. He once made a rainbow with the following colors in the following order: Hot Barbie pink. Emerald green. BROWN. Cobalt blue. Sky blue. Emerald green again. Orange. I told him he was henceforth forbidden on penalty of death from making another rainbow cake, and that balloon and confetti streamer cakes would need to be checked by someone else.

Anyone notice the deer's head in the fire on the last one?

May 26, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterMorgan

@RobinBobcat: Then there is the Baskin-Robbins customer of my sister's, who, upon picking up the ice cream cake she ordered, asked, "And how do I bake this?"

A PB reference seems appropriate for that second "cake" - Dear God, what is that THING?

May 29, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterPauline

Why is that last cake of Babi's father dieing in a forest fire?

We are right there with you in Georgia!

any child who has lived in Texas knows the inevitable birthday with the melted looking cake and don't even start on the horror of ice cream cakes at an outdoor party in Texas summer

This is all truth from down in the South!

I thought he had horns,
but I've learned he has antlers.
Satan is a buck.
