June 24, 2016 Some of my favorite new submissions this week:
They asked for a sportsball cake that said "Way To Go!"
They GOT a wedding cake that said:
;)
"Way you go"
I love the lack of punctuation. It's basically the cake version of that unflappable old guy on a front porch watching the big action fight tumble down the street in front of him. "Yerp. Way you go."
And you KNOW I'm gonna milk this one for all its worth:
;)
DON'T SAY 'A CURD.'
Which reminds me, did you know Monday was the Summer Solstice?
Um, that's "Solstice," bakers.
;)
;)
DANGIT, SOL.
And finally, here's a Wreck to the third power:
First, the customer spelled "farewell" wrong on the order form.
THEN the baker misspelled the misspelling on the actual cake.
Which gives us:
;)
BEST. GOODBYE CAKE. EVER.
Thanks to Kristen B., John A., Vici R., Patti, & Meagan G. for reminding us failing well is ALWAYS an option.

I would like to think, after all the abuse cake decorators get from some people, the last wreck was not a wreck at all. It was simply a skilled decorator commenting on the Order Slip Wreck. I suppose they didn't have the time or space for a song parody or haiku.
Brilliant JEN. Ya know. I heard some people had to travel a long whey to catch a sunny glimpse of solstits. I hope they all failed well in their jerney.
I feel like the "Fail Well" cake breaks the 4th wall.
I completely lost it on the Solstits cake.
Regarding the last cake...Grocery bakery depts. around here fill out the forms, the customer does not. So, this *may* be a case of a double baker fail.
The second cake needs a spider.
If they're dumb enough to misspell "Farewell," and dumb enough to spell it as "Fair Well," I don't think they're ever going to catch this one.
Just sayin' is all.
Well, look on the bright side. The wedding cake is very well done. Not appropriate or spelled correctly, but well done.
Hey, I think the Fail Well cake has carrots around the edge! Maybe it's a homage to our naked baby carrot jockeys!
How the hell does someone mistake a wedding cake for a sports ball cake?!
And I love the "whey" cake. It's not often we get a misspelling making a simple word MORE complicated!
Did you all see the Stawberrie mun on the Summer Solstits? I did!
The solstice cake- I simply have no words.
They all get a trophy just for showing up. Cakes don't fail (ok, some do but it's the oven's fault), people do. These cakes overcame their lack of intelligent decorating (not the wedding cake-it's beautiful but flawed) to go out and just be the best darn cakes they could. These are brave cakes, entertaining cakes and I for one appreciate what they've brought to my Friday morning. And thank you, Jen, for creating a safe place for cakes to fail.
Failception :P
So, the decorator of the 2nd cake knows how to spell "whey" but not "way"? Why would that be someone's first thought when they hear the word?
Also, are Solstits really bright and perky enough to deserve cake, or do they cast a shadow?
Darn it, Jen. Now I want to send that first cake to the old guy on the front porch whose only entertainment could be watching people fighting in the street. Poor man. He probably doesn't drink enough. Hey! Maybe I'll send him that cake AND some booze. Then he might even want to get INTO the fight!
@Classic Steve:Yes! And a little tuffet of its own so it doesn't have to share it with arachniphobes. =^-.-^=
The yellow solstice cake - the rays look like melted Easter peeps..... Love the teeth on it!
"Longratulations"?
I like the yellow cake. It made laugh. It's cheesy enough to make me think it could be what they wanted.
But people, please, please, this isn't my monitor and they don't like it when I snort all over it.
Summer solstits. If they cast a shadow, does that mean six more weeks of cake failures? I'm sure they will Fail Well, especially at that sports wedding.
I've got Skyrim up on the other screen. Now all of a sudden the Nord blessing "may you die well with a sword in your hand" has become "Fail well with spatula in hand"
Solstits: Best. Typo. Ever.
The yellow cake underneath is the perfect menu pairing. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I suppose it isn't fair (or is the word "fare"?) to comment on one odd bit (besides the writing) on the "wedding cake". Those roses have rather large holes in the center -- I was wondering if they needed to have a place where steam can be released ... LOL.
So close yet so far away from right....
That "whey" cake is infuriating. That a baker would do that! How does he have the nerve? How dare he?!!
Dare he/dairy - get it? C'mon, brie serious. I'd like to see you do any feta.
"Sol's tits!" - my new favourite exclamation/swear!
Lol at Solstits. Interesting spelling. Guess they sounded it out went that's about right and were done for the day. I am still giggling on that one.
I think "Whey to go" may be my new favorite wreck.
@MaryKay: synchronized geyser holes. With colored lights.(It's all the rage.) =^~.-^=
Well all I can say is if you are going to fail, make sure you fail well.
Is it just me that thinks "Solstits" sounds like a Viking exclamation? Can't you just hear Thor swearing "By Sol's tits!" in frustration? Perhaps at Loki?
While scanning some fails made of cake
A sip of my beverage I did take
Then "Dangit, Sol!"
Made me LOL
And I converted my "keyboard" to "lake."
Solstits.
*blink*
*snicker*
*snort*
*guffaw*
*falls out of chair*
That last one is a message to all wreckerators: Fail Well. Lest you run the risk of being thoroughly lampooned on Cake Wrecks.
So... What's impregnating the strawberries on the "Solstits" cake?
about the whey cake:
how can they mess up way & yet appear to have spelled congratulations correctly. at least the part i saw of it.
