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? ;)

This cake is very ugly!

Water Filters For Less

 


"There are many brands of water filters. Many are good brands."

This cake is not spelled right!

Thanks to Amy B., Jennifer C., Viole, & Valerie F. for reminding me of all the times a news outlet asks to feature a CW slideshow - and then writes their own captions.

All I can say is... LOL. And please, don't forget to replace your water filter every 90 days. >:-|

Let me guest, let me guest
Water filters are the best
Filters make the cakes much more pretty
Good for bad spelling stress
Water Pure
Calms the nerves
It's what the dead clown deserves
With Viagra it's delicious!
(Might fulfill your lady's wishes)
It will sing, in your pants
Better than water in France
Without filters guitar cake is second best
C'mon, we chose this venue
Let us write and then you'll
Let us guest
Let us guest
Let us guest!!!

Ha ha ha! This post was the perfect post for today; I just had a client ask me if I would build backlinks for him (I write and edit web content), and after doing some research I'm sort of stunned at the stupid things black hat SEO services do to create incoming links. :-P

AWW! That was hilarious~my tummy giggled! I think I have to say that my favorite is the PoorPitifulSwirlySeasickColorfulClownVortexFromHell cupcake.The green, Emu-footprint one is lovely, too...but, ick-that last one is a little HARD to look at, since you had to go and POINT out how very *happy* it looks. Still(waters run deep), I don't get what the bloodyhell any of this crap has to do with water filters, even though the word "well" is doing a guest appearance on the white cake.

The guitar makes me think of a phrase a good friend loves to use "Rock out with your c*** out." (think another term for male chicken.)

June 18, 2013 | Unregistered CommenterLisa

Brilliant. Simply brilliant, absolutely spot-on.

A few years ago I did some faux blogs for SEO purposes, and while it was a fun writing exercise I found the whole process detestable. And now it's come to this transparent marketing ploy to provide meaningless verbiage they call "content." Disgusting.

"Glorious Water Filters Of Joy Helped Me Lost Ten Pounds" had me laughing out loud at my desk despite my best efforts to stop. (it was "Lost" instead of "Lose" that did it.) I really should know better than to read this website at work by now...

My whole world is out of kilter,
I think I need a new water filter
To purify my H-2-O,
(and I think it runs a tad too slow.)
To cleanse my water, that’s what I need,
And increase its flow to the proper speed.
Do you know where I can get one for less?
I’m in a quandary, I confess.
I keep seeing cakes of green,
Ugly cakes, almost obscene.
(I need a filter of good brand,
One that I can change by hand.)
I laugh at cakes with funny spelling
While upstairs the neighbor’s yelling
“Don’t buy a filter based on price –
Just get one that works really nice.”
And down the block a small boy frowns.
When asked why he says,
“I see dead clowns.”
(He needs a filter to bring him joy….)
I am aware it is no toy
And a big discount is just a ploy
To get me to buy one on the cheap,
But what you sow, you also reap.
And you know what would be really great?
A water filter to lose weight!
Multi-purpose! Holy cow!
(Reminds me of the great Pan-wow!)
Just one final thought
As I look at each type,
Trying hard to avoid the hype,
My brows knit together in tight furrow,
I don’t want one that
Makes my penis need a wheelbarrow….
(I’m not against glandular enhancement,
And I know of its entrancement,)
But I’ve no need to look like Kilimanjaro.
My whole life is out of kilter,
I know I need a new water filter.

I don't know why, but it shocks me that news outlets ask for a CW slideshow and then want to put in their own captions. Talk about clueless! Sure, these cakes are funny/sad, but this site wouldn't work without the perfect writing done by Jen, John (thoJ), Sharyn, Lindsay, and the CW family.

To scrap their work would be the wreck. @#%^*$*!&$#@^#$%!!

I run a website about virtual pets in an online game, and I get a lot of these cold-calling guest post requests as well. One offered a free example, so I took her* up on it. What I got back was a mis-mash of paragraphs. Half of them were already posted on my site - because I had written them myself! The other half were about how to take care of a hamster. Not a virtual hamster - a real hamster. It was some of the funniest spam I ever got.

That said, it would have been much funnier with pics of wrecked cakes. Although I think that clown might give me nightmares ...

After still trying to figure out why an article I wrote on water gardens in Elgin IL has a New York dentist trying to contact me on Google+ to pitch a story (and still trying to figure out why I bother to be on Google +) this post hit the spot.

Oh, the joys of spam. Since I am a freelance web designer/graphic designer, I LOVE all the people from India who email me and offer their web design/graphic design services. Uh, thanks, but I've got that covered.

Next are the people who spam me in a foreign language, especially a foreign alphabet, that I can't read. Highly effective.

Yes, that green cake is VERY ugly! No amount of filters in the world could purify it.

But I love the "guitar" cookie. Gotta go find my wheelbarrow, so I can carry my cookie around.

Jen, that was hilarious.*

After minutes of study, I figured out what is wrong with cake #2: there should be only one 'l' in "Eel."

A news site that wants to write their own captions. Hmm. Would those captions consist of a single sentence pasted onto the front of a paragraph of filler that is repeated for each slide?
