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? ;)

Why Suzy Needs Therapy

"Mo-ooom! Have you seen Giselle?"

"Suzy, what did I tell you about leaving your dolls lying around?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? So you're telling me you don't remember any of the HUNDRED times I've warned you about leaving your toys strewn around the house?"

"No."

"So you don't remember what I said yesterday? About what would happen if I found your doll on the floor one more time?"

"Ummmm... Maybe you said something..."

[silence]

[whining] "But I want my dolly! You HAVE to give her BACK!"

"Oh, don't you worry, honey. I'm sure she'll turn up after dinner."


That's cold, Chad C. - real cold.

Uh, I don't get it. I mean most of the wrecks you can tell what they were going for, but this one I really just don't get.

It's obvious some people have an extreme deficit in the "visualization process". Creativity in the wrong hands is like roller skating with pencils in your mouth...

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterInsanity Kim

It might make a good turtle, anthropomorphic turtle, if the baker turned it upside down and instead of blue with flowers, went with turtle-shell greens, yellows, and browns. That is just ODD.

No lying, word verification is "baker"!!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLisa

What the heck?!?! That leaves me with my jaw hanging, completely speechless!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCharly

Well, that would be a great way to get my kids to quit begging for cake!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

That is to disturbing for words.. I'm speechless. All I can say is WHY??

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJanice

Do they really CUT the baby AND eat it?!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlways an Adventure

Oh God! Baby zombies are bursting through the petunias and coming for us!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJenny

Oh. My. Gawd. I just really don't know what else to say.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterChristy

Someone gets PAID to make these things? That takes either fortitude or insanity. Or both. O_o

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterStacy G.

So, if the doll is actually a toy, wouldn't at least part of it be plastic? And wouldn't that melt in the oven?

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterj-ferg

I just showed this to my 5 year old DD,and her eyes grew really big and her mouth formed a perfect 0 and she said "Is that a real baby?" HHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

One of those times I wish I could scrub my brain clean. Wow..just wow...

wv:fuzzymy I wish my brain could be fuzzy but I'm stuck with that image now *shudders*

This is sick. So sick. But the flowers are cute.

W.V. plesse: as in "Plesse, (pleading like) don't post any more baby cake wrecks!?

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMotorcycle Grandma

That's freaky. It's so realistic. Except for the bit about the baby being eaten by a cake.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAviatrix

Kristen said... Is that just a display rack the baby cake is on? Or is it an oven...sick, sick, sick!

I came to the same conclusion: it looks like an oven, but it's probably a rack in a display case. PLEASE let it be a rack in a display case!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjackie31337

So does that baby have a torso? If so how did they bake the cake?

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

2 questions..1. Did they actually bake the cake with the baby in it? And if they did how did the baby survive and not melt? 2. How do you cut that cake? Sorry I guess I had 3 questions

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLexi O'Connor

I thought of that scene in Willy Wonka where the girl turns into a blueberry!

Baby shower cake + cake designer/decorator who's obsessed with the movie Alien... What could go wrong?

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnna

(raises one eyebrow) Ummm- okay.(cocks head to the side) What concept, exactly, were they going for? If it really was because toys were left on the floor, then that's hilarious. That'll teach them! lol
WV: deout. I was on deouts with my children after I baked their toys into a cake.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCatie

That cake is just wrong. I do wonder, though, whether the "baby" portion of the cake is a plastic insert or a fondant masterpiece.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Baby, it's hot in here!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentergorgon

WTH?!?!?!
Words fail...

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJon & Anna

Oh sweet jeezus!!! LOL!

(word verification: shedlint...*snorts with laughter*)

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterProsey

I'm trying to work out whether it's a whole doll in the cake, or whether it was one of those ones with a fabric body and someone has actually spent time dismembering it to put it in a cake. Either scenario is pretty disturbing ...

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEmma

First of all, it looks like a baby hatching from an Easter egg. Second, is it on a storage rack or in the oven?

Word Verification: chose

I can't believe someone CHOSE to make a cake like this!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDesirae

We discovered a new species . The flesh eating cake

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMella

That's almost as weird as the baby cake.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDonna

WRONG!!!!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJulie

See Johnny! I TOLD you babies hatch from eggs!!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterM.D.

I think what is most disturbing is that it is very beautifully done. The design creeps me out, but the execution is flawless.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

holy cripes on toast! That is an abomination, an anathema, an evil, plain horrible, and a down right shame! LOL. I'm just excited I used the word anathema in a sentence!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterElvira

HAHA! This is great.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJen

extremely bizarre.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJenna Lewis Cox

Incredibly disturbing!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTanya

HOly crap, that's fat baby in the oven, Kate is gonna loose it!
BTW What the He 2 sticks is that????

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermilk and cookeez

THat is just too funny! In a disturbing kind of way, but too funny!~

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTSannie

Wait...how does that even work? wouldn't the doll melt or a least get singed in the oven? Reminds me of the Ramona Quimby story when she ruined Beezus' birthday cake by putting her doll named Chevrolet into the oven. (Chevrolet was pretending to be the witch in Hansel and Gretel.)

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

My first (well...actually second or third...) thought was that it would be kind of cute if the baby was sticking out the top because it would kind of look like it was wearing a wide hoop skirt!
The way it is though...that's just weird. I'd love to know the actual idea behind this.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterOlson

And no one ever asked Mrs. Tylor to bake another cake for a baby shower after the last one tasted strangely of burned latex..

I say the psycho music started playing when that was brought out!

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterStefanie

I am having a really hard time figuring out what the decorator was going for??? Tiffany

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany's Cakes

That's creepy is what that is. Oi Vey.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMadWoman

What?! I'm staring at this in shock! And yet at the same time what a great way to get your kids to pick up their toys...

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterToriisen

Oh but the pansy's on the sides are quite pretty. are they frosting or fake plastic?

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterToriisen

That is seriously wrong on so many levels.

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterNeysa

My 2 almost 3 year old summed it up for me...

"No momma, can't eat cake baby..."

Wow...whole new meaning to 'baby cakes'

BTW, we use baby dolls like that in our sunday school classes...

CREEPY

January 21, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLeigha
