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? ;)

Winter Blunderland

Those bell things

Are they listing?

 

Yellow snow

Stomach's twisting

 

Unusual sight

He's happy tonight

Gawking in a winter blunderland.

 

Gone awaaay
is the bluebird

In his plaaace
is a reinturd

 

My feeling is strong

That this is all wrong

Gawking in a winter blunderland.

 

This is really quite the bug-eyed snowman!

I'd just rather not see him around

 

He'll say, "Won't you buy me?"
I'll say, "No, man!"

"You've even got the penguins feeling down!"

 

We should kiiill
this with fire

 

I think thiiis
is expired

 

The way Rudy's splayed:

He may need first aid.

Gawking in a winter blunderland.

 

Let's sing the praises of Mike M., Lena C., Grainne A., Adam S., Tara K., Jessi C., Michael B., Kendra M., Dan E., and Amy N.

This is absolutely stupendous.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLizziebeth

Really well done - thanks for brightening the day!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKathryn

Fabulous post, Sharyn.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJael

Don't mind me, I'm just singing along with the occasional "Ew. Ewww. Ewwwww." thrown in.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKdot

I think the Poodusa reindeer up there needs to start turning
the werckerators into stone.

This is by far my favorite version of this song. If only I could
hear this one at work.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAna

I totally just sang my way through this post. You're a genius.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTuri

Mmoooommm!!! The first cake is staring at me!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTrista

That was awesome, Sharyn! If the decorators had the same genius with frosting that you do with words, there wouldn't be a Cakewrecks. Who knows what would happen then? I guess it's best to keep it the way it is.

By the way, am I the only one that looks at the cookies with penguins on them, and wonders how anyone can eat that much frosting?

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMuria

Urk, those cakes look as though they were decorated by animals with stomach bugs D:

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commentermindy1

In the immortal words of Frank Zappa: Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBB, Miami

LOL I lost it when you reached the "We should kill this with fire" line. Love the song!! Keep them coming!

[TRY to "hear" "Oh, Holy Night" music)

Oh, holy crap!
The cakes are slightly whining;
It is the sight of the cake wreckers' mirth....
Long lay the mess, in bins of error, whining-
And then I leered, and the cakes felt their worth...
wah-wah-wah-WAAH, and yucky yucky yucky
et-cet-er-RAH and I have HAD enough!
FALL on your FACE,
Oh HEAR the anguish RISE--ing..
​The siiight's not diviiine--
​This sight is NOT divin​e--
Oh NAWWTT dee-VIIIIINE...
Oh! Not! Divine​!

=^e.e^=

I want to give that poor penguin a hug. Then I realize just how messy that would be, and I back away. Poor little guy.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterElissa

The sad penguins are kind of cute. Maybe they just need a cuddle.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSheri

Omg! I agree we need audio. Brilliant! Totally made my morning!!!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSherri

Hahahahaha....a tip of Frosty's hat to you, Sharyn! Bravo!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commentermel

Funniest parody song I've heard (in my head) in a while. Kudos!

And just thinking...who is going to actually eat all those unappetizing wrecks? I often wonder if those ever get sold. If so, why? If not, why are they still being produced day after day? (Le sigh!) I have much to ponder.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCathy

Sharyn, this is a masterpiece of genius! BRAVA!!!!!!

That poor penguin. I want to take him home and love him and cheer him up.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTLC

"He's Happy Tonight"
LOL -- well done Sharyn! Thanks for bringing laughs to this Wednesday.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

Sharyn I love you; you are awesome! :D And yes, I will be singing this (at least mentally) all day today.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda H.

Great song!!
Make It So, Make It So, Make It So!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterNancie

Brava, Sharyn, brava! That was fantastic!

Does this mean that it's open season for a Cake Wrecks Christmas Song Competition? Pretty please?!!!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRachel CrazyMom

That's really really well done. Unlike those cakes.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterNicole

Hahahahahahahahaha**gasp**hahahahahaa
I just love you @Sharyn! Nice job @sending! I sang my way through that one too!

Wasn't there someone one time that recorded one of @Sharyn's songs and posted it for our listening pleasure??? That really happened, right???

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJodee

Love.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

The first cake looks like it's yellow legs and feet, wearing brown flip-flops.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJasini

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDegera

Reinturd.....omfg this is gold...pure uncut internet gold :-)

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

"Gawking in a winter wonderland",Perfect!
Love the song!
And the penguins!..."I realize just how messy that would be' ha ha!!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterghooper

OMG you definitely need to sing this!! I nearly spit tea all over my laptop at "reinturd." This is one of your finest. :)

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRae

I don't comment all that often, but I absolutely busted up at "reinturd". I am totally going to have your version stuck in my head when my students attempt to play this at our holiday party next week...

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterL

Ha! Perfect! "Winter Wonderland" came into the radio just before I started read this!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMimi

Brilliant, as usual, Sharyn. Thanks for this!

I was singing along till I got to "reinturd" and I burst out laughing. :D

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterbassgirl

I totally read this singing. A big round of applause for the lyricist!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterzarchasmpgmr

I say a lyrical Video is what is needed here. :)
'Kill it with fire'.... Love your page!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

You have no idea how amused I am; I sang that song in my head as I went along.

Kudos. *claps*

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMostAmused

Hahaha, does anybody else think the penguin looks kind of like "Wheezer' in Toy Story 3? (or was it 2?)

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJulse

That was awesome.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKim G.

I need to figure out a way to work the word "Reinturd" into my everyday vocabulary. The whole post is hilarious

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterPatricia

Grading these exams,
remembering to exhale,
I am the penguin.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHaiku Joy

Ya got me at "reinturd"! Guffaw!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterErica

Sharyn, you are amazing. I sang my way through it and it will haunt me, as it is better than the original. I also want to cheer up that poor little penguin!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterZoe

Sharyn, I'm so glad you work for CW now. It's nice to sing your songs while looking at the pictures instead of just in the comments section. Nice Work!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterTricia

Bravo Sharyn! Best ever!

And may I add:
I'm very afraid,
of the cakes that they've made
Gawking in a winter blunderland.

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterjackwire

Tears! I am laughing so hard I've spit tea on my keyboard. I'll be singing this all afternoon, sans tea mishap, I hope!!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterBarb

+1 Interwebs for "reinturd." It not only perfectly describes that...thing, it fits perfectly into those wonderful lyrics. Inspired!

December 11, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterAlison

Reading this while getting a pedicure bc it's my birthday and who wants to be at work the day they turn 30? Just scared the poor girl making my winter feet more merry and less nightmare before Christmas from my sudden outburst of laughter. Thanks! I'll send in my amazing nightmare before Christmas birthday cake for a Sunday sweet!
