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? ;)

Do You Copy?

When you order a Minnie Mouse cake:

 

... and get a Goofy wreck:

Ouch.

 

We all know bakers get some strange requests when it comes to cake designs, but c'mon, who here would take this order:

... and NOT just print it out on edible paper?

 

This baker, that's who:

SLAM DUNK.

 

Not the cake we deserve:

 

... but the cake we need:

Yep.
I needed that.

 

And now, your moment of Jen:

Whoever writes the best caption in the comments wins a signed copy of Cake Wrecks. (And hey, maybe I'll even be the one who signs it. [eyebrow waggle])

Annnnd... GO.

 

Thanks to Meagan D., Idia L., Alexis O., & John & Jenni E. for the cakes. No. Really.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterColleenJune

It's just a Turbo/Little Mermaid Crossover movie. He is one of Ursula's Poor Unfortunate Souls.

When Turbo hit's the limit

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't see the problem. It looks exactly like the picture to me! That'll be $43.99."

When Turbo hit the wall.

Clearly this is the end stages of a 24 hour NOS bender.

Speed kills.

"What do you mean, faster? I'm already going flat out ..! "


(I'll get my coat ...)

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterbrian t

well, i guess gonzo here is pretty embarrassed to have turned up on the wrong wreck. that's probably why he's blushing to this unhealthy shade of crimson.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterlcp

Turbo knew that snails are hermaphrodites, so the anatomy could get a little confusing. Still, he wondered what the (s)hell that thing growing out of his butt was.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJennifer M.

Grandad? Is that you???

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMichele Tsirimiangos

The alternate ending Disney DOESN'T want you to see: After the big race Turbo is flattened in a jealous rage by the competition and nobody saw a thing!

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCulinarychiq

Eighty years later great grandpa turbo

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCindy D

Today, on "Oprah": He was racing for success when he collided with tragedy. Turbo opens up about his accident, his recovery, and his newfound passion: opening rehabilitation wards for squashed snails.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKHandcock

This is more like Tur-NO!

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLucy

...and it was then that I realized mexican had not been a good choice for lunch...

"Thinking I shouldn't have eaten that smurf."

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterMrs. P

Why is this Smurf giving me an enema?

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDouble Eagle

Turbo's get up and go got up and went.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterSue W.

Move Smurf! Get out of my way! Turbo tummy troubles.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterElaina jimenez

So far the front runners are:
1.EscarNO (monchichimommy)
2.S-car-blow (Fluffy Cow)

In this case, it looks like Number 2 is #1.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterjackwire

@Michael: Re: the snail: Salt will make it thirsty, so it'd probably enjoy a beer, and if you're just going to kill it, ya might as well get it drunk first.

WHO USED SALT INSTEAD OF SUGAR? !

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLa

I want to just say I'm never good at being funny but here it goes:

Breaking news in the movie realm and we are bringing it to you live via cake wrecks style.

1. Disney had no comment when asked about Mini's recover from a botched plastic surgery.

2.Is this a Joke?! You wore your 80's prom suit? We told you both to wear Snuggies on set.

3.Finally, 'The Gotham Times' Breaking news: Batman dies tragically, falling through roof. But we have to ask, "Where does he get those toys?"

Thanks for your time. Tune in again later when we discuss with fans if Turbo is sick, due to what looks to be like blue snail excrement, or if he is using tear gas to beat his opponents. WARNING! The answers may cause uncontrollable facial expressions.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterCrystal H.

Is that a blue poopdong I see?

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLaura

Announcer: "...and...OH NO!!! It looks like Turbo just ran out of gas!....Yes folks, he is definitely looking sluggish now. What a blow for the escargot!!!"

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered Commenterkrunchifrog

So close. And yet so very far...

Using a Wile E Coyote and Road Runner title, I offer 'Lickety-Splat' or there is 'Going! Going! Gosh'

SLOW: Wreckerators At Play

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterShyLittleSquid

Ursula! This is not your movie, now get back in the water with your eels.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterIrulan

Life had not been kind to Turbo. A tough life of chemical baths and salt snorts. He knew he looked older than his Photoshopped movie cover. His were "city" miles.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterDonia

*spoken in your best Steve Erkel voice: "Did I do that?"

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterVioletRose

Unholy love child off Jar-Jar binks and the Cookie monster!!

Unfortunately for Turbo, nobody told him that races are held during the day in the heat of the sun.

Never eat Alka-Seltzer tablets dry.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterJust Andrea

Even if you have turbo power, it is still important to obey traffic signals and stay out from underneath large shoes.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLeslie W.

Sadly Turbo realized that the laws of physics do apply to him because mass increases as it moves faster, and when he hit that cookie it was doom.

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

I think its time for Disney to up their decorating budget!

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag

WHY NOT Zoidburg?!

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterRhi

My caption for the turbo one is,
" TURBO, the fastest blob of icing on cake!"
It's kinda like, Turbo, the fastest snail on wheels

December 6, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterKeely

Sorry, kid, you got the import knockoff Escargo-cart. *sad trombone*
