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? ;)

Friday Favs- 9/11/15

Some of my favorite new submissions this week.

 

Ever feel like bakers are speaking a whole 'nother language?

WELL THEY'RE NOT.

(Yes, yes, I realize you can't expect bakeries to know other languages. I also realize this is still funny.)

 

I've learned over my years here at CW that if I don't understand a cake design, it's probably a sports ball thing. So tell me, sports ball peeps:

Da heck?

 

I'm going to mix things up and do today's Missed Mark in reverse.
Let's see if you can guess what this is supposed to be:

I'll even give you a hint: it's school related.

Give up?

That's ok. So did the baker.

(Why would someone want an apple core cake anyway? What's next, cakes of crumbled milk cartons and used pudding cups?)

 

Usually I blur out bakery labels, but this next one was a paid ad. So clearly, Walmart WANTS everyone to see it:

"HNNNRRRRRGGGG!"

(That was my impression of a wookiee roar. I can tell you're impressed.)

 

And finally:

Um...

...and here WE were all hoping for a baby.

"Guns or glitter?"

Now, I think it's a little early to start imposing roles on it, don't you?

(With all due respect to Monty Python)

Woohoo! That's from my Wal-mart. Way to go, Lubbock, Texas.

I never thought I would recognize a cake on cake wrecks, but one of these belonged to a woman I went to high school with, who also posted it to her Facebook. I cringed then, and I'm double-cringing now.

I suspect I also know the submitter. ;) lol

" Turnt Up" means get high, drunk, crazy excited, or all the above. N.O. and the fleur de lis outline means the New Orleans Saints (NFL team). The Saints' colors are black and gold, so yeah, there's actually nothing wrong with that cake, just local slang.

Yep, definitely N.O. for "New Orleans" and those are the colors for the New Orleans Saints and I see the Fleur-De-Lis on it. And, yeah, "turnt up" is a thing. I don't use it. I think it is mainly used in the African American culture, but not always just in it. It is used where people get drunk/high and crazy . . . alter their mental states and things are wild.
