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? ;)

Sunday Sweets: Threadcakes 2011 Final

Threadcakes 2011 is wrapping up this week, so let's take a final look at some more of the amazing entries, shall we?

As before, we'll start with the shirt design, followed by the cakey re-creation. Links go to the creator's page on Threadcakes.

I have a particular affinity for this design, since John just bought the shirt for himself last week:

"Doctor Hoo"

By Margaret Hoar Aaaamazing.

 

Now I'm not going to say anything else, because I picked WAY too many favorites to show you today, and I can't bear to cut any more. So, enjoy:

If I were some kind of metal-working genius, I would totally make one of these for my desk. (Even though there's no way it could look as good as this cake. WANT.)

OMG I like them even better as cakes than shirts! Great stuff!

Okay, so to me the "Second Sun" looks like the bird on the right is picking a nose... I know that's not what it is, but it's like one of those do you see a beautiful young girl or a ugly witch type things...

I can't imagine how hard it must have been to take something that's 2D and making it 3D as most of the cake artisans did. Awesome job!
