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? ;)

Sunday Sweets: Let's Talk Turkey

Debbie of Debbie Does Cakes was kind enough to share some Turkey love with us today. Check it out:

I love this guy. Not only is he gorgeously made, he's a comic gem. I mean, those bug-eyes are just crying out for a thought bubble, don't you think? So Debbie, for next time, here are some options for ya:

1) "Uh, guys? I was told this was more of a stag party..."
2) "Whoah, let's all just relax now, and how's about you put that knife down, eh?"
3) [on seeing the *other* turkey] "Mom?"

Ok, guys, your thoughts?

How about, "Gobble...gobble...no, wait! Don't gobble! Don't gobble!"

I think someone just told him what a "baster" is used for.

"When you all invited me to dinner, I had NO idea this is what you meant!"

He is a very cute turkey - almost makes me want to become vegetarian for a day ... almost. Nice job, Debbie!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRachel T.

I think he just sat on one of those pointy acorns.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHi Kooky

I think he looks bloated after eating too much pumpkin pie! LOL!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTattingChic

Wow, I can't come up with anything snarky, he's just too cute!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMari

I think he's cute - he'd be the only turkey on my table Thursday. :)

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Finally, something colored brown that doesn't look like a pile of poo. It's a Christmas miracle!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

"Hey, someone fix the table please, I'm going to be sliding off here in a sec..."

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterChris

That is amazing. I looked at the rest of the cakes on Flikr and I have never seen anything like them. Excellent work!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterRobyn

Much cuter then the others!

"Um guys, I hear there is a made case of bird flu going around...you might not want to eat me!!"

I am a HUGE fan of Debbie Does Cakes -- she does amazing work! So glad to see her featured. Sorry I can't offer something more snarky; I think Sunday mornings steal the snark from me. :-)

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSheryl

He is so cute! I like him.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAngela

Adorable turkey! But if you ask me, he's looking at the previous two days' Wreck turkeys and going "What the crap?" XD

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKenya Starflight

Stay calm. Cover the tummy. Think thin.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterWanderjenn

seriously. that is still not appetizing, although the potential thought bubbles are funny.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMia

Wait...are those feathers made of FONDANT?! That's incredible (if true!)

"How 'bout I take you all to a nice fish place. My treat. Red Lobster, anyone?"

"Whoa, I couldn't eat another thing, I am *STUFFED*!"

*awaits raucous laughter*

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKit

What do you MEAN that the book titled "Serving Turkeys" is a COOKBOOK???

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

"I couldn't possibly eat another bite. I'm stuffed!"

Gorgeous turkey.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTari

Honestly? he looks a little Play-Doh-y to me. Adorable just the same.

And I know nobody's going to beleive me, but my word verification is "pluct."

"Does that bowling pin that I swallowed make me look fat?"

LOL

Great cake!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTammie

I appreciate the artistry of it but it is not appetizing - only because it looks like it is made of a combination of tinted ceramics and rubber.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Hide the knives!!!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCorey Wilde

"Um, this doesn't look like the petting zoo ..."

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKamity

Eat Chicken! I wonder how much icing or fondant that took.

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTiff

Debbie is an amazing artist!
This little guy is just too cute to cut!

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJacque Benson

I have a "giblet bag" where?!?

November 23, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKristen

OMG...hope I will have the skills to be able to make a cake like this one day! :) At the moment, all I can aspire to are cakewrecks with my Noob decorating skills *LOL*
