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? ;)

I can't decide if it would better or worse if the frog was smiling, because then we'd all be commenting about the scary serial killer frog cake. Those are some *disapproving* eyes.
Doesn't look disapproving to me.
Is the whole frog made out of icing? Yuck.
He may be disapproving, but he's cute!! I love it! :-)
Is that cake on carpet??? Who puts a cake on the floor to take a picture of it???
A bonus Saturday wreck. woohoo. The cake is toadily cute and the post is toadily hilarious. Don't worry from now on I'll leaving the punning up to you.
I think that's a marble counter-top, rather than carpet.
Aww! He's actually kind of cute :) I really like the colour scheme too!
I collect frogs (and toads) and I have one much like that. He has his arms crossed and his back turned to the rest, refusing to look at anybody else. He is a most grumpy amphibian.
It's true! And I LOVE that it's in de-motivational poster form!
If only there were quotes around happy -the the frog's disdain for Randy would be maximized.
On the other hand - the cattails and flower petals are awesome.
Randy loves Froggy. Does Froggy love Randy? *squeak squeak* Oh. :-(
@By the Bye: I'm pretty sure the frog's body is an inverted cupcake. The head would have to be made of something with more structural integrity than icing in order to stay on (the only thing worse than a disapproving frog is a disembodied disapproving frog head). Marshmallow, perhaps?
Randy would defend himself, but he has a frog in his throat.
my dog looks up at me like that when I'm eating something and not sharing it...just thought it was grumpy but now I'm worried he's homicidal!
I don't think the whole frog is frosting. It looks kinda like the stand up teddy bear Wilton pan.
I have been tainted by cake wreaks. Now when I see birthday spelled correctly it just doesn't seem quite right.
P.S. I hope Randy had frog legs for his birthday meal!
Well, we all now it's not easy being green.
That toadally cracked me up. :D
Seriously, I'm giggling like mad here...
Putting this in demotivational poster format was pure genius. I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything, because it would have been on my screen . . .
Oh! Thanks for the good laugh!!!
Ohhh, so close and yet so far!
This froggie is so cute! Too bad he's grumpy/ Really, the decorator was THIS CLOSE to having a 'not-wrecky' cake!
I feel a meme needs to be started here bwahaha
All ready for your new Mixed Messages category! This can go with the DOA wedding cake, the "we (never) doubted you" cake, etc.
Way to mix up the format a little. I laughed out loud, alarming one cat (the other one continues snoring).
I'm imagining this all lit up with happy, glowing birthday candles and it's even better!
Perhaps the frog is merely sad because he's about to be dismembered and eaten?
...gotta love how he's sat right in the middle so everybody gets a piece of cake with frog butt on it!
That's amusing! I like it. I'll use it for birthday messages.
Is it just me, or do the shape of the eyes and head look more alien than frog?
It's a pitty, 'cause if the frog wasn't so grumpy it would be a really cute cake.
I love the poster look.
Two words refrigerator magnet.
This cake is awesome! That little guy can disapprove of my birthday any year!
Too bad, that cake had potential. That is one grumpy cake
Beautiful, beautiful cakes!
BTW - My favorite is peanut butter and butter, too - On fresh chewy white bread!
Well, deja vu. I just got home from church, where I work in the nursery with kids 18 months to 3 years old. Sometimes, when I'm trying to engage one of them, they stand there, looking at me just. like. this.
For those wondering if it's solid icing or a cupcake or what, it's the Wilton mini stand-up bear pan. I just made a few of those for some kids to decorate earlier this week. You can see the shape of the arms under the icing.
Here's a link to the pan so you can see: http://www.wilton.com/shapedpan/Mini-Stand-Up-Bear-Pan
Could have been so cute if they hadn't made it sad!
Aw I think this frog is cute even if he will put a curse on you if you try and eat this cake lol. Adorable.
I can't say the maker should be frogmarched out of town because this cake is fairly well done. Well, apart from the whole homicidal amphibian thing.
You really got the jump on this one, John.
Poor frog. It's not easy being green.
All I can say is that the frog must be British.
What?? No comments about a "Hoppy" Birthday??
My two-year-old saw this on my screen and got rather worried. She said, "Froggy crying!" Seriously unhappy frog.

Is it just me...if you look closely...does it look like the frog is giving the "bird"???? It's a well decorated cake at least, IMO.
Looks like the frog is contemplating something. Probably is wondering why Randy wants a frog on his cake.
Of course Disapproving Frog disapproves. He is about to be horribly dissected and eaten! I would disapprove of that! P.S: Isabella, not all British people are grumpy. The Welsh, Scottish and Irish are awesome ( I am Welsh) because they are joined by Celtic heritage and England isn't so it is grumpy.
