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? ;)

Return of the Poo-Wangs!

When you think about it, turkey cakes have a lot going against them. I mean, most of the time they either look like poo:

Or...this:

So...a little stiff.

 

However, sometimes, if you're reeeally lucky, they look like both:

And the turkey poo-wang is born!

 

Now sit back, relax, and cue the immature, mind-in-the-gutter giggling!

*giggle*

 

*giggle giggle*

 

Heads up; this drumstick's a real handful:

*giggle snort*

 

And finally, these "cake slices" are looking a bit testy, if you ask me:

But maybe they're just a little cold.

 

Thanks to Sandy P., Tom M., Heather K., Ashley G., Kristina G., Christi A., & Wendy C. for the cockeyed head-scratchers.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commentermisha

Ah. Proud as a poo-cock. (Darn, did I just say that out loud? And then type it in? And then hit "post"?)

These turkeys rated M for Mature Audiences Only.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMissy

*Gag* anyone else feeling a bit pooped?

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commentergiggle master

Ok, now I'm ready to just skip straight to Christmas.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterFlartus

so not sharing this giggle {{snort}} with the kids!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterkrazymom

I remember when Panda Express had Turkey Poo Wang as a seasonal/specialty dish. It was never very popular, for some reason. Not exactly authentic, either.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNaomi

Is that second cake for a bris?

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterGary

I just about held it together until the drumstick - oh, wow!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCaroline B

Anyone else hearing the Long Duck Dong song from Sixteen Candles in their heads as they read this? No? Must be just me then....

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterRobin

The drumsticks are pretty bad on the second-to-last cake, but what got me are those... wings? Leaves? Frilly little decorations?

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBabbletrish

Oh, my! I think I actually blushed a little bit looking at these. And then I wrecked some of the lyrics to a Beatles song:

It’s been a hard day’s night;
That turkey’s lookin’ like a dong.
This is a hard cake sight,
Erotic poultry is just wrong.
Where I should only see cake
The baker piped a love-snake.
Now do you think that’s right?

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterzoomom

There needs to be a band called the Poo-Wangs. Now.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterCraig

Still LOL'ing, OMG. :D

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterleorising

@zoomom - thanks for that! Nearly choked on my coffee but it was so worth it!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLori

My 9 yr old son loves cake wrecks. Without reading the commentary, as soon as he saw these he said "looks like a poo winkie"

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMe

AH, zoomom~~I just love your rendicktion...er, rendition! Brings back so many memories (good and bad)!
; )

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenter~anamorous~

@zoomom

BRILLIANT!!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterearlleen

Do they realise what there doing? I wonder.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNadia

I'm wondering............................................
Could we possibly be looking at these all wrong?
Could it be that these "turkeys" don't look so much like phalli as the real things look like turkey necks?

Might it help to know if the bakers are men or women? Because women can have "turkey neck envy," some say...

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenter~anamorous~

Thanks -- I had a ball.....

@zoomom: a tip of the...err...Pilgrim's hat to you! (did she really say love-snake...and did I really sing it....)

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commentermel

So when I checked my blog reader this morning, while stitting in class, I decided that based soley on the title, I should probably wait until AFTER class to read the actual blog. That was a very good call... <uncontrolable giggling>

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMichelle

I am no longer calling them cookies....they shall be known as "cake slices" forevermore.....

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterNurseAllie

This seriously had me laughing out loud at work. Good thing I'm the only one here right now or I'd some tricky explaining to do.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDiane

The large size of domestic turkeys now makes mating nearly impossible. Good to see from specimens #3, 4, 5 and 7 that poultry farmers are breeding for traits conducive to easy breeding.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSiouxzr

Well, I only have one thing to say.

This post made me feel like I was a dirty-minded high-schooler again. (Instead of a dirty-minded kept woman, which is very different indeed.)

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDana the Biped

ZooMom, I held it together till I sang your little ditty in my head, then I just lost it. Too bad I won't share this one with the office (since I'm the boss, I think I should be setting a good example).

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPeg D

These are the best kinds of wreckage! I snorted my coffee. I have to wonder, though, out of all 7 of these separate wreckage incidents, was NONE of them the least bit intentional? Because they're just a little too life-like to believe they were all accidents....

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterLily

Hmmm, less like "turducken" and more like "turddorken."

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSharyn

Hey, Jen and John! Check out page 219 in the Jan. 2012 Readers' Digest!!! Three pics from "Wreck the Halls"!

They chose the "Super Bowel" cake, the "Merrychrist Mas" cake, and "We'll Miss You Roxanna in Place of Merry Christmas" cake.

I'm thrilled for you - may this bring on many, many more sales! Congratulation.

The first one is labelled "white," and it is obviously not. What's wrong with people?
Gooble, gooble everybody. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSuBee

Ahh, the Poo-Wang. A distant relative to the Gamecock. They are majestic animals.

Zoomom, you are brilliant.

I was looking forward to a haiku, as well. I'll have to check back later. : )

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAndrea

@ Zoomom- GENIUS!!! I know I will be singing that late into the evening as I lovingly baste the bird {SnortgiggleSnort} I think I pulled a muscle trying to keep my excitement and laughter under wraps as I scrolled down the page O'wangs...Ahem, I mean, attractive turkey confections...Sugary festive holiday cakes...Pretty poultry-like baked goods? Oh heck, it's hard to deny the page full of Di....delightfuly creative desserts! Yes, that's what they are! *whew*! That took a lot of work...now I think I need a glass of wine...

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :o)

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterAmber

Those are just so wrong in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing. I'll never look at a turkey the same way again, or cupcake, or cake, or cookie for that matter.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSandyF

Proof positive there is literally no way of making a turkey not phallic.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterBADKarma

Teeny vegetables
lounge around gravy hot tub,
ignore Flip, the bird.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterHaiku Joy

In portuguese, the word for "turkey" and the word for "male organ" is the same. This post explains it perfectly!
Also, "giggle snort" was so accurate I just about choked on my coffee.
Happy thanksgiving!! Gobble gobble giggle snort!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMadMaria

Well, these are just FOWL!!! hahahaha!!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterSarah K.

This problem is everywhere! The other night at Chili's, I noticed that what was supposedly a peacock on the cup that came with my son's meal had a very similar dilemma...

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterjj

Thank you Cakewrecks.

And Zoomom gets a gold star.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterFluffy Cow

I was giggling along with Jen and then singing along with @zoomom.

"Gooble, gooble" indeed!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterlisadh524

In a way we are lucky wreckerators have only a vague idea what a real turkey's head/neck/wattles look like, because all those wonderfully scrotal wrinkly bits would NOT translate well into so called "Buttercream". The mind boggles.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered Commenterspel chek

Thanks for the laugh!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterRenee

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterKelster

A haiku for Andrea:

Turkey looks like cock?
That is not the right poultry!
Far too much icing.

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterMsBarrows

Didn't we see one just like this a while ago?

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterEllie

Really??? & no one noticed this?? LOL ahhhh too damn funny!

November 23, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer Rose

Oh my gosh! who makes this stuff! I mean..who cant see that?
