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? ;)
November 14, 2009 So tell us, dear Wreckerator, what do couples need these days to ensure a happy marriage?
Julie D., you think I could get this stitched on a pillow?

I wish I would have been given that advice!!
Oh. my. word! I taught "Finding Love" this week in my classes. "Thrust" was not among the definitions I used for love!
I don't even want to go there! Such a beautiful cake, too!
so, when it's a cake is it a frostian slip?
Wow...just...
Well, they say that the secret to a healthy marriage is a healthy sex life.
I guess...
*blush*
Faith, Hope & Trust...Where's the Pixie Dust?
Freud would be proud.
I really like it. It is plain and simple but really elegant...well for me anyways. I wouldn't mind having a wedding cake look like that for my wedding. My aunt owns a bakery shop and is making my wedding cake. I will have to send a picture of it to you when the big day arrives.
OMGosh! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What a shame, because it's really such a pretty cake otherwise!! The poor wreckerator must have been mortified. Too funny.
Haha!
I actually did this once, but in a letter. My dad is a terrible typist, and wanted to dictate a letter about a friend of his who was accused of embezzlement. He said "Bob is intelligent, a family man, and trustworthy." I typed "thrustworthy."
Thank God we caught it before the letter went out! Otherwise, maybe "thrustworthy" would be a good thing in prison...
Michelle
do you think the bakers thrust this cake at the couple?
It took me a moment but ... ummm... wow... hopefully grandma can't see too well and doesn't as anyone to read the cake out loud!
OH. MY. CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING.
I was thinking, "What a pretty cake..." Until I scrolled all the way down.
Wow, I'll bet the bride (or at least her mother) was mortified.
For some reason I never think of the word "thrust" in a dirty sense, but rather it always brings to mind the classic line from "Chicken Run"..."we need more THRUST"
such a pretty cake with such an embarrassing typo!
Gotta add that to the marriage counseling curriculum. Awesomely funny!
Oh, that is so perfect.
Haha, I almost missed it...Almost, but not quite.
Oh, WOW! Subtle; it took a minute for me to see it!
It's such a nice cake, with very neat and tidy penmanship. What a pity humans don't come with spell-check.
Oh.
My.
God.
Talk about your basic Freudian slips! Hehehehehehehe....
Oh wow. Wow. That's just...wow. I wonder if it's like that around the whole cake?
OMG. Did that go all around the whole cake?
Well, I guess without 'THRUST' you can't get 'lift off' (wink, wink), so it is pretty important. =D
If that was done on purpose, someone has a great sense of humor. If not, I would hate to see the bride when she saw that cake.
Maybe the couple are astronauts? Or rocket scientists?
THAT is even more embarrassing than the Nazi ninja-star cake!!
So lovely. So delicate. So descriptve!
Ok, that got a serious guffaw out of me.
@ Maya - LOL!
What a gorgeous cake! I would have been blushing so badly!
It is a shame; if that extra "h" wasn't there the last "love" would fit perfectly. I wonder if they noticed:
[singing]
"Scribing a cake, scribing a cake."
[Comes to end of side, with no room for last "e."]
"That's weird. I've made this cake a hundred times and it always fits. Hey, Dolly, come here."
[Dolly saunters over.]
"Does this cake look weird to you? I couldn't fit in the last 'e'."
[Dolly examines.]
"Maybe you wrote bigger than usual?"
"Nope, the letters are the height they're supposed to be."
[Both examine; shrug]
"Oh well. I guess if you keep going around the side no one will notice anything wrong."
Leanne, did you READ the cake??
I didn't even see it at first. I wonder if some baker snuck that in on purpose...just to see if anyone noticed.
I would have *loved* to have been at that wedding, to watch the guests reactions.
@Maya and Tamara--funny!
I wonder if the decorator was a)getting fired and thought they'd sneak in a little sabotage or b) was a friend or foe of the couple and thought they'd pull a little prank on them or c) maybe the couple was well known for their, um, passion?
I wish my husband got that advice! LOL
That could have been an easy fix if they actually caught it.
Maybe they had plans for "Mile-High Club" membership? How I wish I didn't have to know your honeymoon plans, you crazy kids.
At first I didn't see the problem and then I reread carefully and went 'oooooh'. XD Hahaha!
Okay, so what DO you do if you arrive to pick up the wedding cake and it's unintentionally pornographic?
Do you have any way of finding out if the error was all around the cake?
Huh? I don't really see .... oh. Oh my.
That oughta do it, indeed.
I didn't even get the joke until I looked at the cake a second time.
This is one of those where you wonder whether the customer ordered it that way, or the wreckerator is ad-libbing.
i swear i had to read that like 10 times before i caught the misspelling! but omgoodness that's hilarious!!!
I think this is the funniest one yet.
Where's Burton? I'm thinking a cupcake sized mash-up of this cake and the NASA "Something Special For The Ladies" Cake.
Its a classic! It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't true. I'll be laughing at this all weekend. Oh, and maya, I loved your comment....frostian slip...LOL!
I wonder if this couple invited their minister to the reception. "Mother Jane, would you like some ca.... uh, some tea? Come over here and have some tea."
(I also love the captcha below that I have to type in. Not kidding, it says 'dangu'. Just what the couple was probably thinking...)
Definitely stitch it on a pillow--more cushion for the pushin'!
(Did I just say that?!?)
Does it say that on all four sides of the cake?
That was totally awesome!!! I want to hire this cake decorator immediately to put their unique spin on all cake quotes. Just think what could be done to this classic...
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach. ~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
