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? ;)

10 Bakers Who Would Really Suck At Pictionary

Ready, Set, DRAW!

 

1. Steak:

I guess "T-Bone" doesn't like his steak well done.
(HEYO!)

 

2. Guitar:

Strings are for sissies.

 

3. Truck Tire:

Yes, really.

 

4. The Eiffel Tower:

Try as I might, all I can see is the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story. Just me?

 

5. Basketball:

*sigh*

 

6. Flip-Flops:

Made from only the freshest diseased lungs.

 

7. Alligator:

Post-digestion.

 

8. Fire:

"Fire" going down in flames. The irony, it burns.

 

9. Airplane

"Surely you can't be serious."

"I am serious... and don't call me 'Shirley.'"

 

10. Elvis:

...left the building a long, LONG time ago. This looks more like David Bowie wearing a skunk.

 

Thanks to Teresa, Anne D., Mattia M., Julia B., Sherri C., Katelyn C., Rachel, Emily D., Jen M., & Heather R. for drawing all the wrong conclusions.

Editor's note- Some of you have told me that you're having trouble seeing the pictures today. If that's you, would you send me an email to let me know? Thanks so much and Wreck On! -john (the hubby of Jen) (comments(at)cakewrecks.com)

my son saw # 10 and said "Its SUPPOSED to be the easter bunny, right?" I told him it's meant to be elvis. "really?"

The "airplane" looks like a basketball shoe. Since Kareem Abdul Jabbar was in the movie, that seems oddly appropriate, surely...

@Zippy...I speak jive.....bwawawawawa!
Does that help translate some of these wrecks?

The "airplane" is exactly like the one we got on my roommate's birthday cake... after we were told that we couldn't get a sheep because that wasn't in their book. We made everyone guess what it was supposed to be before we cut the cake. Answers were very similar to the ones found above.

I'd say "How hard can a sheep be?" but I'm afraid we all know the answer to that.

Definitely the fra-gee-lay leg. I see it.

I thought #9 was an upside down ray gun...my bad!

March 12, 2014 | Unregistered CommentergayleD

Anyone else here play Sims Freeplay? #3 looks like Osiris' spaceship.

The guitar . . . oy. Give me a minute to get my mind out of the gutter and I'll get back to you.

Basketball? What basketball? That's an orange, isn't it?

Love the songs!

@Jodee: sorry...just remember the oft quoted first rule of CakeWrecks: don't read it with anything in your hand or mouth....

@ Maria, I too see the guitar as not drugs or rock and roll.
Nailed it!

March 12, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterRobin

#1 I agree with Fluffy Cow about it looking like a badly inserted IUD

#3 looks kinda like a flying saucer from an Ed Woods movie, except on an even lower budget.

And I thought the last one might have been one of those foofy-haired guys from that boy band....One Dimension, or No Direction or something like that.

I'm positivre that truck tire is a sarlacc pit.

March 12, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAmber Bradshaw

David Bowie wearing a skunk made me wheeze! Thanks! :)

March 12, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterJake and Me

When I saw #3, all I could think of was, “Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn”

Really, it looks like some sort of Eldrich Horror.

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterjw

Wow. That last one could be Mr. Bill after he was run over a billion times lol. Sheesh.

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterArlene

Awesome Sharyn! I LOVE Bare Naked Ladies!

I also thought the airplane was a tennis shoe.

And "David Bowie wearing a skunk" is officially my new favorite phrase and mental image.

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterEmma

The flip-flops look more like two yellow polka-dotted hot pink pickles, wearing flower headbands.

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterCali Gal

I also saw the Leg Lamp before I read your text. The "Guitar" is the hammer! I would love to see the sheep that was too hard to do.

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterBrigham

Okay, is it just me, or does #2 look like ET's stripper sister when you tilt your head to the right and squint a little?

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterApril Fool

#1 is definitely an IUD jumping rope. Because, you know, that's a popular cake item. o.0

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered Commenterlisadh

...I didn't know that socks could fly...or is that a shoe? They don't like the guy and they're throwing shoes to get him to leave, maybe?

March 13, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterPauline

1, A map of Spain.
2. A half-eaten rib.
3. A merry-go-round??
4. Can't argue with the Leg Lamp on this one.
5. Orange Death Star??
6. Leg disease? Giant red slug?
7. Relatively speaking, that one's pretty good. But I doubt an alligator is supposed to bend like that.
8. Lots of bananas
9. A ray gun held upside down.
10. My worse nightmare.

I thought the airplane was a foot.

April 1, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterBriana

Frajeelay...must be italian!

June 5, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterHeather E

That Elvis cake - why? Just colour the hair black to make it look at least a LITTLE more like Elvis! And also...why particularly like Bowie wearing a skunk hat? Is there something you see that I don't here?
