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? ;)

Survivior Tatooine?
There has to be a story behind that...right? No one could just randomly come up with that.
I will be eternally grateful that I was not drinking anything when I saw this. Still wiping tears from my eyes.
[squeaksqueaksqueakSPLASH!]
EPIC!
Luke wins because he is on a surfboard on a raft. (Just curious: Do lightsabers short circuit when plunged in water?)
Okay, this isn't a wreck, it is hilarious! Someone did this on purpose, I just wish we knew the story!
Clearly, Luke has won this one... his lightsaber is in the passive position. And Vader is goin' down!
This may be one of my favorite posts ever!
..Why do I feel like Is ay that at least once a week?
Oh, that is AWESOME. I know what I want for my next birthday cake now. I can't stop giggling at it.
"Luke, I am your lifeguard."
LOL! This is definitely more of a Win than a Fail. Though I'd love to know the backstory on it.
This is not a wreck. It is sheer awesomeness, unbelievable epicness. Your commentary completely makes it, too.
You forgot to add
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I got those exact figures for my son's Star Wars birthday cake (the light sabers light up, btw). I had planned to have the bakery do some kind of spacey background, but now I have other ideas... :)
"Do you see now, young Jedi, why we cannot install a diving board?"
@J,
Forget about the lightsaber short circuiting, Vader's "more machine now than man." Would Vader short circuit? Perhaps Luke's hand also, but that's less of a concern than the machines that keep you breathing.
"Join me! Together we can defeat the.... What are you doing? Are you splashing me? Stop that! This stuff might short out and... *gzzzt* Oh great. I think I just burned out a motor or something. You know how hard it is to find people to fix this suit? I force-choked the last guy after he handed me the bill and joked that he 'changed the estimate' and that I should 'pray he doesn't change it further."
This is wonderful! But what's that little black plastic nubbin sticking out of Vader's... dark side?
OK, now THIS is pretty cool.
I love that cake! The perfect summer birthday cake for my family.
TechyDad's comment for the win!!
Oh my goodness, that is awesome!! Nothing like bursting out in fits of laughter in the middle of a busy office. Thanks for always making my first break something to look forward to :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Enough said. I gotta show my husband this one tonight.
Bwahahaha...once again I am snortling.
Wait, are they fighting with pool noodles?
(On rafts? Wearing wet suits.... If I can't have this cake myself, I at least want to re-enact it next summer.)
hahahaha, that is so bad, it's awesome! where do people come up with this stuff?!
Here are the figurines for those wanting their own reenactment. :)
What...the... lololol XD
I like it. I almost need to recreate it for my husband's birthday. Why does it have to be so far away when fun ideas come along?
@ Sharyn - Thank you for that comment! *tee hee*
The comments are just as hilarious as that cake! Love it!
@Sharyn, your comment cracked me up, except that Vader is trying to drown Luke.
@TechyDad, you totally out-nerded me on that one. ;-)
@Julie, thanks for the link.
"Emperor, Leia, get in here and we can play a game of chicken! DON'T RUN, WALK to the pool - you all should know better."
Luckily I have a half deflated beach ball under my desk, so I could pull it out and actually make that squeaky plastic raft sound effect for boosted realism. Now if only I had a spray bottle of water.....
I don't even like Star Wars. But this? This I love.
Oh man, there goes coffee up my nose! Sharyn and TechyDad - fabulous comments! What a hoot!
This is *amazing.* Even if it wasn't made to order, I think that this is a fine marketable cake.
And it's well made, too. Border's intact, everything easily recognizable, edges are straight. I knew exactly what it was at first glance but I took a few more to soak in all the lovely details.
I'm going to have to check on this post again tonight. I just know there'll be more great captions from the comments. I'm trying to come up with one myself.
"Swim or not swim. There is no float."
"Uhh, cake or death? Hmm...cake please."
So somebody watched the show Wipeout. I even hated the commercials.
Hilarious! A few points, First, I think the black knob sticking out of Vader's back is the light up button. It's a relief to figure that out (thanks to my 11 year old son) since taking a second look, there is a triangle shaped grey thing hanging down between Luke's thighs. Second, said son points out Luke's duck feet pose. I would not lay odds on him winning the balance war.
WWOOOOOOOOOOW. This post just mad my week! Epic level funny. . . .
Lol you know they were thanking of this website when they designed that. . . .
So, would the loser get shocked when they fell into the pool? lol!
Can you imagine the wreck that is going to result when someone takes this picture to their bakery and requests this cake? :oD
Subtle commentary on the fact that all Star Wars fights take place over and around some sort of gaping chasm?
@Jenibopper-- I had to go back and look for the triangle thing (that doesn't make me a perv, does it?). I don't think it's anything on the figure. It's the grey countertop. It's framed between two nice swirls of frosting and Luke's.... ahem... crotch area.
The cake is definitely up there in terms of best post ever, but the comments on this cake really are the best comments. Ever. May the floating devices be with you. Always.
@Melonie Wouldn't the correct line be
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glub glub glub
I have found my next birthday cake I love it and [squeaksqueaksqueakSPLASH!]
I actually saw this one play out in my head, and I have to admit, it is pure genius. As in funny genius.
@ Jennibopper,
thanks for the clarification. I kept having visions of x-wings diving in to plant bombs.
May the floats be with y'all.
