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? ;)

Hashbrown Ladylike

Bakers, take a note:

Some of you will get that reference.

And that's enough for me.

 

Sometimes I think I should just let you guys do the captions, though.

For example, Patty titled this one, "Spring! Butterfly love!"

And combined with that insane-eyed vomit pile there it just cracked. me. UP.

 

Then there was this e-mail, which had only a single word:

"Ladylike."

[mic drop]

 

This week! On E! True Hollywood Story! How one lovable sidekick:

 

Really hit the powder:

Oh, Olaf, say it isn't so.

 

And finally, they didn't want any writing, so they asked for the Alligator cake "as is."

Sadly, they didn't get it.

But then again, neither did the baker.

:D

 

Thanks to Laura E., Patty M., Jane, Julie V., & Staci O. for reminding me of this snippet of wisdom from Twitter:

7 Tips For Gifts From The Garden Month

May is "Gifts From The Garden Month", minions, so let's see what garden-themed gifts our BAKERS have brought us.

::head tilt::

 

Huh.

::head tilt the other way::

 

Huh.

What... what is happening here.

 

Strawberry? Watermelon? Microbial migration?

The world may never know.

 

Well, if there's one gift we can always depend on from bakers, it's definitely carrot cake.

Yep, carrot cakes are always recognizable.

Just look for the circle of... fingers.

(Shhhh. There are innocents present.)

 

Sure, sometimes they get a little cold:

... and lumpy.

 

But grab them when they're fresh, and wreckerator carrots are hard to beat!

Bet you can't wait to get your hands on these, eh?

(Also now my title makes sense. YOU'RE WELCOME.)

 

Thanks to Carissa S., Erin R., Michelle L., Emma R., Sarah W., Vicki D., & Alisha M., who report that actually, they CAN wait.
