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? ;)

Our World Cup Runneth Over

Bakers, let's talk about soccer.

Because of all your balls...

...the soccer ball seems to be the most difficult for you guys to grasp.

 

And believe me, when it comes to ball grasping...

...we want you to have a firm grip on the situation.

(John: "Uh, I think that's supposed to be a basketball cou..."
Me: "SHHHH.")

 

For example, some of your balls are too fuzzy:

 

While others are lumpy and uneven:

 

Some of your balls are too small:

 

And others... well... are they supposed to be that color?

 

Look, bakers, we know that Soccer balls come in all shapes and sizes, and each is uniquely beautiful in its own way.

Unless it's this way:

Seriously, man, put that away. You're just embarrassing yourself.

 

And to all you World Cup fans out there:

Hang loose, you crazy nuts, you!

 

Thanks go Andrea C., Jennipher D., Charesse, Becky N., Diane L., Amy N., Abi H., & Ilana W. for the balls-to-the-wall excitement.

If the goal was to make soccer balls, these bakers have met their match. Whatever they used as models, it's obvious they couldn't draw them correctly. These bakers are not forward thinkers and there is no defense for any of these fiascoes. With awful bakes like these, how do these guys have any net worth?

As long as they're liberally slathered in icing, I don't care what color or shape they are!

I can just taste 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 all the way from here! Yum! p-8

As a baker, I have to say, soccer balls are the absolute worst ball to copy. They are awful. The black spots are pentagons and the white spots are hexagons. If you are off by a millimeter, the entire design is shot. Now, saying that, these are the worst soccer cakes I've ever seen... lol

Big Balls
AC/DC

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers say I've got the biggest balls of all
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!
And my balls are always bouncing
My ballroom always full
And everybody comes and comes again
If your name is on the guest list
No one can take you higher
Everybody says I've got great balls of fire!
I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dirty big balls
And he's got big balls,
And she's got big balls,
But we've got the biggest balls of them all!
Some balls are held for charity
And some…

Just so you know, picture 5 is a pet toy on a durian.
