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? ;)

The Far Side of Cake, Vol 13

The Far Side of Cake, Vol 13

 

Unfortunately for Carl, some things were NOT lost in translation.

*****

 

The cruel reality of display case bullying.

*****

 

The duo would go on to dominate the entertainment world with their act, but sibling rivalry - coupled with a crippling addiction to Visine - would eventually tear them apart.

*****

 

Finally, a cake that celebrates the ambiguity of emotion brought on by large groups being told to put our hands in the air.

"... now what?"

*****

 

Joke's on you, Harold.

*****

 

The beast can remain motionless for hours, unblinking, barely breathing, waiting and watching for the moment its owner puts a business call on speakerphone.

"Meanwhile, this year's fiscal revenue has increased by... Debbie, is someone being murdered in your apartment?!"

 

Thanks to Wendy F., E.H., Amy, Krystine M., Lynne V., & Kristine M. for the walk on the Far Side.

Happy birthday Cake Wrecks!

That first one just gave me a horrible/hilarious idea for a cake...strawberry flavored, pink icing and little mice made out of strawberries and candy/chocolate on top!

That catphone beast is the stuff of nightmares. Why does it have spikes and claws at the end of it's tail?

Am I the only one who sees a schwang for catosaurasus nose?
Thank you, Jen. For keeping The Far Side alive.

#1 reminded me of an old novelty song - Love to eat them mousies, mousies what I love to eat, bite they tiny (forget that word), nibble on they tiny feet - wish I couldn't remember important stuff that well.

Hands in the air cake: My 5 yo says, “Those are crabs!” I can kind of see it.

Third time's got to be a charm. janelhin@: "Bite they tiny heads off." (darned autocorrect + my stupidity)

I am laughing so hard at the hands in the air cake oh man... I probably sound like I am being tickled to death lol.

May 22, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterArleneMarie

@janelhin, the missing line I remember in the version which B. Kliban, a wonderful cat cartoonist, illustrated is "Bite they little heads off".

May 22, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterLauraB

That first one would fit right in with the Rat Tart from Monty Python. "Give me a slice without so much mouse in it".

May 22, 2019 | Unregistered CommenterMike

The first one must be popular among cats, owls, and foxes.
