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? ;)

…Can you imagine the colour of everyone's tongue after they eat that last one? Bleeach!
…Or, did the fourth picture say it all?
IA that a Pan-Wow I see over on fail #2?
That rainbow swirly inspiration cake does not look that good either, although it is much better than the result cake... O_o
Couldn't the person who made Wreck #2 as least have used bright colors so it doesn't look like a pile of #2 or somebody finally cleaned the outhouse?
Holy cr@p!!!

Baker, singing joyfully as he adds the finishing touches…”I did it my way….”
That 2nd wreck looks like something my cat horked up, lol
The first cake looks like someone went a bit ballistic with a few cans of Silly String! (And by 'a few' I mean around 30)
Mmm, the second pair: "You can make me wear my heart on my sleeve, but I'm putting it camo so you still can't see it!"
My prayers and condolences to Las Vegas...
I thought I was all DONE with the 70s......
(And to think~ I threw away my embroidered bell bottoms....SIGH....AND my platform shoes!! )
I think I saved my crocheted belt, though.....unless the moths got it.
=^-.-^=
Frankly, for me the splotchy ocher-ish layer on #4 is screamingly intrusive, so I kinda prefer its equivalent on the miss, which is otherwise a mess.
Number 2 itself strikes me as a unicorn-vomit fail for an aspiration far more graceful; looks like a first-cousin-once-removed from the silly string cake above. Now I'm wondering how the ass-piration for its camouflage dog's-dinner flop might in turn assail our aesthetic sensitivities... I shudder to imagine!
Number 3 doesn't ruffle my feathers nearly so much in comparison to the competition, though it's just a sad batch of booty instead of a beauty.
the second one looks like a pile of necrotic bowel. Just sayin.
I highly dislike the style of the first cake even in inspiration form - that splatter style should have stayed in 1984 - but the miss upped that monstrosity by turning paint into silly string. Also is it just me, or does that topper look like it's saying "No"? I think perhaps the baker was subconsciously aware of how bad it was...
Funkification? More like putrefaction! I think that must have sat in a dark and damp place too long. It looks more like something out of a lab experiment that was forgotten.
The heart shaped, camouflage, vomit cake was enough to do me in!

It's a good thing cake #6 is here. Toilet paper is needed for all the poo lumps!
Why oh why would you want folded toilet paper decorating your cake?? (#3)
I don't understand how that second wreck turned out so badly. The design, colors and materials are all pretty simple. No fancy pipework or fondant. No hard (or illegal) to match characters or intricate details. No unique colors or sparkles or the like.
Oh man yuck lol. I liked the pretty rainbow swirls and then seeing what they actually got instead.. ewwww. That poor customer.
It's a camouflage OW baked in a pan wow... yuck!
Mmmm,heart shaped poo,yummy.
The difference between "layers" and "tiers" is basically lesson one in pastry school. Guess that last baker was sick that day?
