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? ;)

No Body Is Better At Wedding Cakes

Last Sunday we saw how bakers used fashionable dresses to inspire some stunning cakes. So TODAY...

We're not going to do that.

 

See, cakes that look like actual dresses-on-bodies keep popping up, and they tend to be rather creepy.

How creepy?

Well, about as creepy as you'd expect edible neck-and-arm stumps to be:

Not to mention this one looks like its floating up through the table. Spooky.

 

It's not so bad when the stumps look like a fabric dress form, but for some reason bakers keep making the under bits look like skin. And, worse, wrinkly skin:

o.0

 

Now, you might think it'd be better to just go ahead and sculpt the whole bride:

It's not.

 

And don't go sticking a blow-up doll on your wedding cake, either:

This is also creepy.

 

Here's one that avoided the skin/stump issue entirely - which I applaud - but then fell down in the whole looking-like-a-human-body arena:

 

This photo also removed. Please enjoy this lovely picture of Epcot.

Definitely more centaur-shaped. The boobage section in particular is... worrisome.

 

Still, all of that pales in comparison to this bizarre choice of a wedding cake:

I'm actually weirdly fascinated. I... I can't look away. It's like staring into the sun. A headless, armless, legless sun. That you kind of want to hug.

Or is that just me?

The last one looks exactly like Ursula the sea witch if she got married. Or maybe like a plus size drag queen who hasn't gotten the hang of padding yet?

The last one looks like it's about to give birth to a cupcake.

And *darn*!, I wish I could have seen #3 before the Epcot pic replaced it!!!

Darn! I was late to the party! What was cake #3??? Need to know!

I looked at that last dress and instantly thought "The Last Unicorn"! Know know the scene where Smendrick is tied to a tree and magics it alive trying to free himself?

I love that scene...

I saw the second to last cake in person and didn't dare to take a picture of it, because if I had, my identity would have been pretty easy to guess and I didn't want the baker to see it and be angry with me. But I really wanted to take a picture so that I could post it here. So funny to see it here today! She was so freaking proud of that cake, and that she was bringing it to that wedding show! I really felt bad for her, I knew she wasn't going to get any business out of that.

Is that redheaded bride's head the part that goes in the freezer for the 1st anniversary? Even creepier to think about looking at it again...

The second last one looks like an owl in a graduation robe to me.

My eyebrows went down and up and sideways when I saw that last one, but my only thought (this is new for me) was "Woozle."
I have leveled up in confusion, and had to comment upon the occasion.
Wreck on.

Why were the pictures removed? Don't you know it can spoil the whole post when you do that?

Am I the only one who gets a little sad when I am late to the party and there are Epcot pictures instead of wrecks? Sigh... Opportunity for laughs missed.

June 2, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterCatherine

And now i am both scared of, and curious... what WAS on those pictures that now has Epcot instead...? O.o
