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? ;)

Wow, you're right! I do see Cthulhu in a cocoon wearing Micky Mouse ears...
It sort of reminds me of Fudgy the Whale and those other great Carvel cakes (I'm talking to you, Cookiepuss) that served any occasion.
FIRST COMMENT!
It's Dad's fuzzy slipper and cigar.
I see Noah's ark on top of a big mammoth goat. Is this cake for Noah?
That looks like a really odd shaped tornado.
Often with squinting and head tiliting I can see what the cake wrecker was aiming for...yeah, I have nothing besides a flock of crow's feet and a crick in my neck!
It's a rowboat on the ocean - where the prow broke off the rowboat and the ocean has a mustache, in addition to mickey mouse ears.
I'm guessing it's a surfboard catching the "big" one?
If only I saw Cthulhu. I see Davy Jones. And not the Monkees Davy Jones, the other one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Jones_(Pirates_of_the_Caribbean)
I was thinking blue fuzzy puppy dog slipper tied to a poo dirigible. Anyone else see that?
wv: Boollys: I wish those boollys would stop scaring the poo out of the decorators. We have enough poo cakes as it is.
But why is the cocooned Cthulhu being transported by a blimp? Going home? Watching a football game?
These are the kind of questions that keep me up at night.
Definitely Noah's ark, with an angry sheep drowning in the flood.
"Happy Falker Satherhood" is looking better all the time.
I'm sorry, there are words? All I could do was stare at the mustachioed mouse in the sea. Being crushed by something suspicious.
It looks like the Hookah-Smoking Caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland surrounded by a "BIG" cloud of smoke.
Dad apparently likes clubbing blue baby seals....
its a BIG blue poop with a face!
It's obviously depicting dad hitting a poodle over the head with a boat oar.
I have nothing witty to add. This one hurts my head.
so what is that supossed to be?
As Joel from MST3K would say, "...the hell?"
I have absolutely no clue whatsoever. Maybe half of the state of Tennessee on a blue rat?
What is this? All I see is a giant poop floating on ... river water? a blue butterfly? Something out of Lord of the Rings?
It's some sort of Stargate like portal into a world where wrecks like that make sense, of course!
It's clearly the Mayflower after its masts broke off from crashing into Mickeythulhu.
Does it say "die" ??!
-Susana
It is obviously a poo shaped blimp floating on a cloud that has the shape of a goat's head forming in it. It is a reference to the old Swedish folklore of Falker Slatherhood, a celebration of male fertility. I can't believe you didn't catch that. :)
OK, the blue thing is a slug with a mouse face. I have no idea what the brown part is. This cannot possibly be from a professional baker, can it?????
--KATP
Wow, usually I have an idea... today, I have nothing. Checkmate, Cake 'Maker', Checkmate.
I can't even guess.
You know what's lamer than someone posting "First Comment," Lydia? Someone who posts it when they're not even first. Well done. ;)
a.k.a. "Mr. Hankey has the blues".
OK, first time commenting. It's a hotdog and a blue twinkie
wv sporlega, Swedish name for a blue twinkie
OK, the whole family got into it and here is our list of serious guesses:
A blimp
a fuzzy slipper
A beaver with a big brown tail
beach with water
the end of a paddle in the water, the black squiggles are eddies.
The P family
WTFIZAT!?? I can't even begin to fathom a guess I mean really WTFizat?
It's clearly a blue and brown Mothra.
I see a blue hamster and one of this big ole turkey legs you get at the fair. Yep, this definitely reminds me of good ole Dad.
Wow. Um. WTF is that thing? That's um...uh...okay then. Oh I have an idea but it's too gross even for this blog. More like a South Park insult sort of thing since they've got one about a frozen feminine product. Nerds will know what I mean...
@Lydia @9:41: fail!
When asked, "What does this look like?" my 3-year old said "Cake." She seems to be going through a literal phase. At least she recognized what it is. My 6-year old's response was "A goat under water and the brown stuff is dirt." I think their guesses were better than mine. " I have no idea. Personally I would prefer a boring, plain cake to this.
Well, my daughter says it's a boat cake, so I'm going with that.
a Saturday wreck. bonus!
Well see, the wreckerator got the 80's hit movie "Big" confused with another great 80's flick, "The Neverending Story." So clearly this is Falcor fleeing the Nothing. What this has to do with Father's Day, I can't say.
Ooh, another Rorschach Cake Wreck. I love these!
Um... I see a butterfly. Darn, I only ever see butterflies in these things.
It looks like a blue cat to me--not enough tentacle for a Cthulhoid.
My guesses are.: 1) A giant knife cutting up a poor sad blue Cthulhu-ish blob with bear ears. 2) A comparison between a foot ball and a very small creature, possibly a guinea pig.
WV. mizeri, The headache I'm getting from trying to figure out what this cake is is giving me so much mizeri.
I've no idea what it's meant to be but wacky backy springs to mind

Good, good...but let's try this, too: how about half the state of Conciousness on crack?
=^e.e^=
I feel a sort of heart-tugging urge to go and scoop up the poor little ick-faced thing before it gets euthanised.
>^=.=^<
Its the rowboat from POTC on Stranger Tides and the black squiggles in the water is the mermaid coming to take dear old daddy down into the deep blue sea!!
y'all funny : )
