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? ;)

Wedding Day Jitterbugs

Uh, guys? Somebody might want to call an exterminator.

Why?

Well, you know those "crawfish" on the wedding cake?

(Photo taken down at the request of the baker. Please enjoy this lovely photo of Epcot.)

Yeeeah. They're looking a bit more like cockroaches.


Amanda L., those cockroaches look a lot more like cockroaches than any other cockroaches I have ever seen.

La cucaracha, la cucaracha...

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterlaura

ummm.... those don't look like cockroaches to ME.... well maybe the first part of the word... plus hairy... eeek

That's what you get for ordering a wedding cake from an erotic bakery.

And let's call a spade a spade here. Those aren't crawfish.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterT*A-Y.L,O^R'

Why would anyone have crawfish on their wedding cake? Even if they didn't look like cockroaches.

They look a bit phallic to me - phallic-stabbed-with-a-fork-looking. Why did your usually guttery mind not pick up on this?

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterroballen

They look like they belong on a groom's cake, if you know what I mean.

COCKroaches *insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here* COCKroaches

and might I just say... EWWWW!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnna

hahaha right...cockroaches...yep, that's what I see, too!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMeagan

I, too, thought they looked a bit phallic. I saw it and immediately thought "OMG there's PEN1$ES on that cake!!" LOL!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I, too, thought they looked a bit phallic. Upon first glance, I thought "GROOMS CAKE!!!"

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterBrandi

I'm all for originality, but this is just gross. Plus half the legs aren't even attached. And as some have mentioned, they don't exactly look like cockroaches either...
Going to find some brain bleach now...

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStephanie

oh boy... another Epcot already and the post has only been up for 12 minutes!

roballen... why do you think Jen called them COCKroaches?

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterWild Cakes

Agreed with all the post-ers who said phallic.

Geez. They are centipenises, with their multiple appendages. Yikes.

Really?? With comments like these: "those cockroaches look a lot more like cockroaches than any other cockroaches I have ever seen" some doubt that you picked up on the visual???
I appreciate your subtle clues, Jen!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle P

They actually look like penises that something is growing out on them. Other than that they just ruined a good looking cake.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterclairebakescakes

Gross gross gross buggy friend!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLauren Borquez

they also look like Obscene Cockroaches, if you know what I mean...

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterEtiquette Bitch

Yikes! 'cock' roaches indeed!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

I looks like they used the cookie cutter featured a few weeks' back. If I were the bride, I'd reconsider.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAuntie Meme

@roballen - I thought she did, by calling them cockroaches. ;)

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKait

Can you imagine, Here Grandma have a piece of pen... I mean cake.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterErin

reminds me of the http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/06/this-ones-for-ladies.html" rel="nofollow">space shuttle cake. with legs.

cockroaches, indeed.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTerry Lee

I agree another poster....those don't look like cockROACHES to me either....Quite phallic!! LOL!!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjcsmot

Hello...
those are no crawfish-
that cake is naughty!!!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

my thoughts exactly, they don't look cockroaches, just a weird looking part of a male's anatomy.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKirstan

They don't look like cockroaches, but do look like a weird part of the male's anatomy.....

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKirstan

I agree with the rest...the first thing I saw was a phallic symbol.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Let me get this straight. This is a WEDDING cake? Ummm, yeah. Okay then.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLorraine

I'm with the others that see something else in those "crawfish." Just glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMarie

Glad to see that everyone else was thinking what I was thinking!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatie

C'mon, those hairy wotsits aren't cockroaches or crayfish - eeeyuk!!!!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

I'm glad you clarified that for me, because I was totally weirded out by the hair growth. ;)

I love how punny you are. We quote you late into the night, Jen.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKamity

I think they look kind of like diseased, or maybe bloody, male genitalia. Yikes.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

That is just NASTY on SO many levels!

bleurgh.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Looks like bloody hairy penises.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSCSPaine

Before you ever think that Jen missed something that you see, read her post again, and remind yourself how clever and observant and funny she is. Do that always.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJane

They look like COCKroaches, indeed. Bet they're just having a BALL on that cake.

EWWWWW EWWW no thanks, I don't want any!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMiranda

Wow... that cake really puts the (Anatomical reference) into (Anatomical reference)roach.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKatjaMouse

those are not COCKroaches lmao who the heck wants that on their wedding cake?

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJolene

I'm wondering how the groom felt to have to cut INTO this cake...thinkin' it may have spoiled the wedding night.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKristers

Umm..yeah, I agree with a previous poster. Those cockroaches look like something a bit more private..

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy

heehee. You said, "cockroaches"

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnonymous

Wow, my condolences to whoever has to go through the comments today. Epcot meter approaching red?

Love the puns, Jen, even though it looks like many didn't get the hint ;-)

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSuzanne :-)

Cockroaches weren't my first thought.... I was thinking more along the lines of genitalia with legs. Grooooosssssss.............

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAmy Pinney

Love Anna's Beavis and Butthead reference. :) That's what I heard when I read it.....

I also wonder if they are made of cardboard.... and why are they RED??!? GROSS!!!

(oh ya, they're supposed to be crawfish... riiiggghhttt...)

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTiffany

Um, eew.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterjazz bird

Wow! That's just amazing... and not in a good way.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterTrevor

I've never noticed how much crawfish resemble bloody diseased male genitalia. After eating that cake I bet they had a ball of a wedding night.

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Z.

Oh my.

I would guess that this cake originated in the South. Louisiana maybe?....

And Roballen, you totally missed the joke.....

I too appreciate the subtleties Jen and often can't wait to read all the comments. I hope they make you laugh and don't make you bang your head on the wall. Repeatedly.

And, come on Lily, "centipenises"??? Hilarious!

March 9, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRebecca F.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! COCKroaches! TOO FUNNY!!!
