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 "grass" is pretty terrifying!
Cake. With gravy? No thank you!
Becky
wv: Foold. You can't foold me into eating that!
Homer Simpson: It's just a little wrecked, it's still good, it's still good!
Fall off the bone, er... wire, goodness!
I think both what they ordered & what they got look rather hideous.
This is unusual - I wouldn't want the inspiration cake, either! YUCK! What is this, an twisted, off-season April Fool's joke?
Why??!!! I'd rather have an actual turkey and a cake that looks like...a cake.
EEEEWWWWW!!!!!
Pre-gnawed turkey cake legs with slimy gravy frosting.

OH MY.....
eeeewwwww!!!
Ugh. Why would anyone order that cake in the first place? It looks fowl.
BWAHAHAHA!
Augh!!! Looks like someone boiled that turkey!
That's disgusting. Frankly, I don't even like the orignal one. Who would order a turkey cake anyway??
I don't know why you would want the original one - I don't like how shiny it looks and how the wings are just weird lines... the one they got is definitely a wreck though!
Um. Gross. Even the top picture is just... strange.
{shaking head}
i'm not sure why anyone would even want a turkey-shaped cake.
i want my turkey to taste like, well, turkey.
then just give me a punkin' pie!
...I don't know if I would have ordered that cake in the first place...it looks disgusting.
Nooooo!!! Oh, I actually gasped. Is it really and truly a real turkey? Sweet Jebus, WHY???
That is just gross!
Call me crazy, but I don't get why you would want to order the cake in the first place.
Looks like it's been gnawed on already. Either that or there was a brawl among the turkeys.
Ick. Why would anyone order that in the first place? Ew! What is that shiny gravy-looking stuff?
WV: genuw: Genuw this was going to be a disaster from the start!
That makes me want to vomit...
That's just gross.
Gotta say, even if it looked like it was intended to -- YUCK YUCK YUCK. It's SHINY.
Turkey should look and taste like turkey, kthxbye.
I don't know that I would want the real thing, let alone the wreck. xP
Wow, the original cake, to me, already looks less than appealing (you expect a lovely, juicy piece of turkey breast, you get cake and buttercream instead, your tastebuds won't know what hit them) but leave it to a wrecktastic baker to make it even worse. Yuck...
Uh why is that picture of what they ordered so shiny?
Eureka! I've been wracking my brain about how to get somebody else to host one of our annual holiday family dinners. All I have to do is serve this bad boy. Where do I sign up?
They got what they deserved if they ordered that cake. Both cakes are wrecks!
Is this an ice-cream cake? It looks like the Baskin-Robbins cake I saw in the local store here. I wonder if the directions included adding wire-yikes.

Well, I gotta say, what they got definitely looks like one of the rotisserie chickens you can pick up at the local grocery store for $7.
I'm sure someones said this already, but the original picture doesn't look much better. :P
It looks like an ice cream cake to me.....that shiny gravy is most likely caramel sauce (the same stuff you have on your sundae). What I don't understand is why they didn't use a mold and instead hit the cake decoration supply section at the Home Depot....
Gross. just what we wanted for dessert... cake with brown colored gel all over it. The first one is awful looking enough!!
the photo/original made me ill
pecan pie rocks..
yuck. I don't think I would have even picked that monstrosity up!

Turkey Cake (H-59)
Wow them with this centerpiece of your dessert table. Choose your favorite ice cream flavor, glazed in chocolate and caramel. Be sure to enjoy the sugar cone turkey legs!
I'm not even sure I approve of the "what they wanted" cake. They're both pretty gross.
Eew. How could a cake make me want to be a vegetarian.
Side note: even in the original cake...no turkey should EVER be that shiny.
on what planet is that thing in the background apple pie ala mode?
Well, there went my appetite.
It is a baskin robbins cake! Who wants frozen turkey! You can find it no their website.
BASKIN ROBBINS!!!
I used to work there, decorating cakes. the turkey cakes are REALLY hard to make! you have to use a "melon" mold, fill it with ice cream then hand cut frozen cake to fit the bottom. you then have to take 2 scoops of ice cream and sugar cones for the legs.
we ordinary just frosted it in chocolate or coffee flavored ice cream or white ice cream dyed tan but apparently the one in the advertisement is frosted in caramel (you have NO IDEA how hard that would be! caramel melts the ice cream and then slides off and/or lumps up).
the turkey cakes actually sell pretty well. i mean its frigging ice cream! especially if they are a "thanksgiving-ey" flavor like pumpkin pie ice cream.
but yeah the actual cake is very wrecky, no wire people!!
It's not electrical wire; it's an artery.
Either way, who would want to eat that? Ewww.
the apple pie a la mode thing in the background looks fabulous.
wv: amatu
'what's amatu, you order a cake like that?'
I have to say that this is quite possibly the most disgusting looking cake you have ever posted. It looks moist and meaty, which is not what a cake should look like. It took alot of deep breaths before I could look at is a second time without tasting my breakfast again. Blech, oooooohhhhhhh yucky, nasty, gross and DISGUSTING!!!! Give me bleeding armadillo cake anyday compared to that wreckage.
I am very afraid to know what flavor that cake is.
If it's turkey flavored, it will go great with some Jones mashed potato flavored soda.
Who would want slimy frozen turkey! YUCK!
