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? ;)

Is that cake? 'Cause that shiny outside is making me think it is ice cream. Ug. Epically bad of course.
Love the cartoons as always John (thoj)!!
Husband: I won't bother you. I see you're entranced by your pornographic cake.
Me: It's not pornographic. It's a turkey.
Husband: Turkey? It looks like chopped liver.
Can't. Stop. Laughing. Oh my gosh this is hilarious!
A baby shower cake recycled as a Thanksgiving turkey cake?
Hysterical! I love the cartoon reactions almost more than the actual cake :-D
Eghad! Has the baker
never seen a turkey?????
LMAO! The look on J(thoj)'s face is priceless!
Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha! *GAAASSSPPPP** Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I don't know which made me laugh harder: the "turkey" cake or "Watch out Facebook, here we come!"
Did you draw the cartoons yourself?
[Note From Jen: The facial expressions, yes, but the body & computer are from an old "Rage Comic" meme. John adjusts the body and adds props (or other characters) in PS as needed - which is surprisingly time consuming. I'm his armchair quarterback, so we spend a lot of time getting the expressions just right. "Ok, now move the mouth dot about a quarter inch to the right..." - that kind of thing. Heh.]
Bwahahahahah!!! Oh my, these stick-John reaction posts always crack me up! And that cake? Just, WHAT?!
Ahahahahahahaha!
Yeah, my face is the last cartoon right now!
Love the cartoons, as always!
Between the 'cake' and the last two cartoon drawings I'm ROTFLMAO! I've learned NOT to drink coffee/water/tea when reading this hilarious blog. Too funny!
Bwahaha the cartoons are perfect XD as for the cake...that is so not a turkey.
So....I've noticed that the post still has yet to make it to FB. C'mon, guys - you know you want to see what the reaction will be!
Why in the name of Betty Crocker does it look like it's been patched, spackled, and Venetian-plastered?
Put down the can of edible spray lacquer and step away from the "bird."
That's the worst I have EVER seen. And I used to have to make these things for people with no taste whatsoever. It had to be special ordered because we refused to keep them in stock because they look horrible... nothing redeeming about them at all. I offer a letter to the wreckerators who keep making them:
Dear Large Ice Cream Franchise with Blue and Pink Logo,
Please stop making the monstrosity you call "Turkey Cake". While amusing, it sucks even when it's done correctly. And while you claim, "Our unique dessert is sure to be the centerpiece of any holiday gathering. This all ice cream cake with sugar cone legs can be customized with one or even two of your guest’s favorite flavors.", unique is not always good and it will end up on Cake Wrecks no matter what you do.
Thank you!
Well, THAT'S a whole new meaning for "giving someone the bird"!
Paint it black and it doubles as Madonna's belly cake.
But they're DRUMSTICKS! Totally appropriate! OH BOY!
My 3 year old says "That's a kitty with sprinkles sitting on grass. Dessert grass. It's dessert, and it's grass, so it's dessert grass!" LOL
It looks like a pregnant belly cake with questionable embellishments.
Where are the wings?
Still using that dial-up modem?
Aghast. And strangely mesmerized. OMG.
Not helping that it's shiny and flesh-colored vs. roasted-turkey-colored. And it looks like something was stuck to the front (or back?) of that THING, and my mind is going really unsavory phallic-shaped places with imagining what might have been tacked on there.
OMG. I can't... look away....
Am I the only one who sees a FOOTPRINT on the near side of the belly in the last shot??!! A botched one, but still . . .
Hare those poultry dripping all over the icing lettuce? Mmmm...
HA! Dare you to post it on Facebook...
The shininess of it is what gives me the willies. Ewwwww.
Well this is a dear god what is that thing? Kind of reaction I got when hubby saw it lol. And me too for that matter. Those uhm breasts look rather perky and painful lmao.
Sandra - you're so right! There was a footprint on there! Either these people have an actual pregnant torso pan with the footprint built in, or they have recycled a cake already made for a baby shower - probably when the purchasers refused to accept it.
How is this a turkey? I don't know what it is, but I like it.
Mommy can i help get the Turkey... Then my brother walks in mim r those boobs then we find him with his touge removed or him n banned from coumputers but my mom laughing
