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? ;)

Swing And A "Mist"

We here at Cake Wrecks know parting can be such sweet sorrow.

So here are 9 cakes to ruin the moment.

 

Oh great, here come the water works.

 

Maybe it's wissful thinking, but Luek sounds hot.

 

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

This wreck is evil, like the "furits" of the "Dve-il."

(Also, at first I thought that said "you will be missiled," and it was the happiest dang .85 seconds of my entire day. DOWN IN FRONT!)

 

Here's a fun party trick: read this cake out loud and you'll have an INSTANT southern accent:

Well I declare, Colonel Angus!

 

Definitely more than one "miss" in this room:

Now that's what I call "a balloon drop!"

 

I think this says, "Uoull gustly be mirrd Lt page!!"

Quick, someone look up how to say "God bless you" in Klingon.

 

"Remelering" sounds painful. Can't we just stick with one of those awkward handshake-pulling-into-a-half-hug-with-a-back-slap things?

 

And last but not least:

YOU'RE WELCOME.

This was the first day in a long time I've laughed non-stop at all of them.

And, yes, KimS, I noticed that too. Obviously the Lt. Page cake was rejected by the purchaser and put on Manager's Special. Lt. Page's loss.

I thought my sister and I were the only ones who quoted So I Married an Axe Murderer. Love it!

@ sendingtheclowns: LOL!!! Hey, we ALL want it to be a booger at one time or another don't we? If not the writing on the cake, then that stubborn spot on the windshield...if it's a booger than it's not a really creepy looking dead bug...right!!!

@mel: I take it you are in the midwest where Mother Nature has been rather ACTIVE as of late. Well, I will send some good thoughts your way and hope that tonight is calmer and that you can get some sleep. A night without sleep is for the young and energetic...not for us on the other side of...let's say 40 shall we? It's much too difficult to recuperate from an "all nighter" after that, regardless of WHAT kept you awake...because it's usually something like the weather, too much caffeine you didn't know you had (I thought that was DECAF!!!), your stomach is rolling like a ship in a storm, or a loved one is in trouble; at any rate, it's NEVER fun...not like it used to be when you were twenty...or twenty years ago, whichever is more accurate. Hey, I do believe I have the title of my next essay...
Thanks for the inspiration mel and PLEASE get some rest and, I'll have a bit of a chat with Mother...see if we can't get her to calm down a bit. :-)

You will be misspelt

The best part of "retariment" is the fact you can see where they messed it up the first time and tried fixing it! Awesome!

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterCharisse

One of my cake orders had for the inscription
AseraCare remerbers are loved ones. Thankfully
I'm smarter than the person who took the order
and wrote it how it should be. Made me laugh
For the rest of the day though

Thank you for once again making me guffaw out loud in a public place and especially for the "So I Married and Axe Murderer" reference! LOVE your site.

September 9, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterPickel

So they messed up RETIREMENT (reatriment??!) and then tried to FIX IT?
Am I seeing that right?!

Fear Well is a little known quote from the Dread Pirate Roberts (up one from Wesley) "Fear well, Wesley, I'll most likely kill you..." And the Lt Page cake is extra special when read with a Forrest Gump voice (plus the southern drawl carries over to Col. Angus...)

and, ALL YOU COMMENTERS ARE AWESOME!! (yes, two exclamations because you deserve it) Caroline B, t'was spendid!

Shouldn't that be Renelering yai?

Just read the jellyfish post on the other blog. As a journalist in a small town, I've experienced many of the same frustrations. Hang in there, Jen and John. We love you here.

This is the BEST site - from the posts to the comments.

Maybe those black things on the first cake are pipes that spew mist instead of bubbles or smoke?

Does the Fear look as if the person responsible actually corrected it to read 'Fear' to anyone else?

You know, these cakes are even more amusing if you imagine them being read by the French peas from VeggieTales. Or is that just me?

Well, as noted, the Klingons don't have gods, having got rid of them for being troublesome.They would likely go the 'gesundheit' route, wishing someone health, or even more likely, 'strength in battle'.

However, someone did translate the Bible into Klingon. According to them, 'God bless' would be 'joH'a' ghurmoH!'. And yes, that's 'Jehova', in Klingon.

... I am such a geek.

I completely lost it at the "grate trip" cartoon.

@ Tifa: You can never go wrong with the French Peas!

September 10, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterStephanie

I see a ring of pipes on the top cake. Perhaps "mist" should read "smoke"?

I kind of like Katie's cake. It has a certain gothic-horror appeal. Perhaps she was leaving on Halloween?

And on the You will be Miss cake, the balloons remind me of big, fluffy skirts. It's just missing the gruesomely-cut-in-half Barbie torsoes, and it could be a Congrats-on-being-nominated-Miss-Cornhusk cake.

"Have a grate trip" is the passive-aggressive way of reminding your local MP about the 43,628 complaints on his desk about the poor state of the sidewalks.

Is Suzanne on the "furits" cake the same Suzanne from the first-ever Cake Wreck? That would be awesome! Sad for her, because she can never escape the Wrecks, but awesome for us to get to read them!

Colonel Angus!

September 10, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

Hee hee, Tachybaptus, that's what came to mind for me with the first cake. I just started giggling!

September 10, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterChristina

I am just imagining that this Suzanne is the same one who received the Cake That Started It All. It would be a perfect, hilarious curse to be doomed to receive wrecky cakes anytime you leave a job.

September 11, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterAmy F.

Holy hell this is a funny post! Love the Colonel Angus reference!

"You will be miss"
Maybe someone had a party before they underwent a sex change surgery?

September 30, 2014 | Unregistered CommenterM.A.

I can't even put into words how freaking hilarious that last picture is. I fell out of my chair laughing.
