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.

Although I wrote an entry myself, I vote for Carrie Murray's "TURBO" acronym.

Turbo caption:
Wilson mused silently to himself; “Look-alikes just don’t seem to get the gigs these days…”

Turbo caption:
Wilson decided it was time to show his therapist photographic proof of the hideously high expectations and cruel performance taunting constantly levelled upon him by his human owner…
