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's Got Balls. (No, Like Literally.)

Hey, do you know what Truck Nuts are?

If you do, congrats, you're from the South like me. YEEHAW AND HOWDY.

For the rest of you, Truck Nuts are dangling testicles for your truck. I wish I was making this up.

Anyway, the reason I mention Truck Nuts (besides seeing how many times I can type "Truck Nuts" in this post) is because NOW THEY MAKE THEM FOR CAKES, and the world will never be same.
(Hamilton high five heyooooo)
(Truck Nuts Truck Nuts Truck Nuts Truck Nuts)
(Ahem.)

Y'all ready for this?

 

Keep scrolling; this needs a proper build up.

 

And while I've got you here, I'm open to suggestions on how to post this to Facebook without getting banned.

 

Again.

 

(Lousy naked turkey cake.)

 

Almost there, now.

 

Still ready?

 

Here we go:

 

But not like that.

 

Ew.

 

OK, for real now:

Great Blushing Beefy Bow-Balls, Batman!

I'll give you a moment.

Honestly, there's something almost poetic about a sparkly pink cake with balls. It says, "Hey, I like sparkly pink cake and bows, AND I HAVE BALLS." Y'know? [nodding] Yeah. I like that.

 

Thanks to Rebecca H. for really busting our preconceived ideas about masculinity.

Um. Was this perhaps to celebrate the balls finally dropping?
Also, I want to know what they're filled with. Like are they solid pink frosting? Are they filled with red cake? Are they *gag and gasp* cream-filled????
??????
Going to lie down now.

A great big laugh at that cake. Made my day.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterLeslie

Is it wrong if I want to touch them? They just look.... velvety.

LOL

I'm sorry. *hangs head in shame*

Anyone else wondering what the bow tie is actually covering? We need a photograph of this cake from the other direction.
On second, thought, no, we don't, no, we don't. XP

After reading the comments all I can think of now is 1) The scene from Three Amigos about the mail/male plane and 2) The beginning of Joe vs. the Volcano.

Cake balls are a thing, though. Aren't they? Like another name for cake pops? Wouldn't it be totally wreckalicious if that's what the customer wanted and this is what the wreckerator delivered?

And I wish I didn't know about Truck Nuts. Spay and neuter your gas guzzlers people!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterQatie

Is it supposed to be a bow on a daisy-like flower? That doesn't even make sense.

Btw, they have truck nuts all the way up in Iowa. My favorite one so far is the one that had them all the way under, like on the undercarriage. Truck nuts on your belly button-style.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterTwolly

I don't think we can blame the baker for this one. It seems to be executed pretty well. Which leads me to believe this was done at the customers request. Which actually happens a lot.

I'm w/SuBee on this cakey observation.

And can have an amen for the Scottish Folk Song? Hilarious!

I tried to convince my Sister and Brother they were hearts.

Thanks Jen, I looked at the link to the Truck Nuts and now I've got them showing up as an ad on my news feed! My husband is really going to wonder what the heck I've been looking at! Great commentary as always!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterKristen

Is this the gayest cake ever?

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterKaren

After all that buildup, ... I'm NOT grossed out? (A rare feat for Cake Wrecks!) Mainly because whatever decoration that is on that cake doesn't actually look like testicles to me.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterErica

Please let it represent the joy that that comes after the dog is neutered. PLEASE.

And for the bikers there are bike balls. http://www.boredpanda.com/funny-bicycle-lights-bike-balls/

"Hey, I like sparkly pink cake and bows, AND I HAVE BALLS." Now, see, I thought it said something different. To me, it said, "Yeah, yeah, my wife now has me making pink, sparkly cakes. Here are my man-bits." *deep sigh*

And this is one of the best runs of comments EVER!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterJMixx

Ok so truck nuts are ripe here in Australia too! But this cake ......
Now I can't get that old rhyme out of my head...
"Do your balls hang low
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie 'em in a knot
Can you tie 'em in a bow?"

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterRachel

Oh my goodness.....would love to hear the backstory for that cake!

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterKyle

Nice cake. My guess is they actually ordered a "fancy cake with nuts on the top" ..... but what they meant was, you know, like actual diced nuts sprinkled all over the top.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterLynne

I'm trying to come up with a logical explanation for this cake, and I just can't.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBetsy D

Perhaps this is a formal "It's a boy!" cake?

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterLauraF

Black tie fundraiser for breast cancer awareness. Boom. Gender-equal offensiveness on the same page in one day.

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterHammyHam

Here's a totally different thought --- maybe this is a divorce celebration cake? You know, where one spouse takes the other to court and walks away with their "set"? I swear I saw a Hallmark card along those lines about 15 years ago. It said "Congratulations on your new pair"

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterDonna

I have no clue about this cake. Why, why, why?? Truck nuts too. I mean, seriously, just ewww. However, I am thankful for this post, as it reminded me of one of my all time favorite comments on a Cake Wrecks post. Poo Wang turkey cake! Still laughing over that from laSt year....

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterLisa Neill Wiklund

So, it's NOT a gender reveal cake, then?

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterSharon

Why? What the...? Why?

August 30, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterRebecca

Every time I click on your page when I happen to be at a PTA meeting, and I get an "inappropriate content " warning (I'm on the school wifi), I get a little annoyed that I have to look it up later. But, let's face it, it's posts like this that demonstrate you've EARNED that inappropriate label. :-)

"Id like a cake with peach colored frosting with balls wearing a bow on it. No writing. Just balls."

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterJanM

Oh my gosh.. I can't stop laughing. What a thing to see right before I leave for vacation. Oh the laughter I am going to have on my long bus ride lol.

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterArlene Marie

To me it was more like it was sticking it's tongue out
pbbbbbbbbbttttttttt!

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterNathan R.

My favorite is when the truck nuts are blue. At least they're honest, right?

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterAKCyclePsycho

There appears to be a shadow of additional icing to each side of the...um...you know...beneath the bow. My guess is that the bow is simply hiding the rest of a flower with unfortunately shaped petals from this angle

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterE

Those would be "formal balls" -- they are black tie, after all. 0.o

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterZippy

What you never heard of cake balls with a bow?

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterLorie

I am rather horrified that the testicles are no longer in the scrotum, they have been turned into creepy cake decorations. Or maybe they really are pink figs. With a bow.

August 31, 2016 | Unregistered Commentermarilyn

We have them in Australia - you can get silver, blue or pink. I kid you not. I figure it's false advertising.

Maybe that decoration is braille for 'may contain nuts'?

September 1, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterKismet

Obviously someone ordered a pink sparkly cake with fancy nuts on top. Duh.

September 1, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterNancy

In a totally helpful tone, maybe they are little fuzzy peaches? Even that sounds as bad as truck nuts. Here in Texas, we call them bulls balls. Mostly because they are worn on the cars of working cowboys and bull riders.

I'm so glad (for once only) that I live in the UK..... What a load of Bollocks.

September 2, 2016 | Unregistered Commentercakebelly

I had to look up Truck Nuts. I couldn't believe there actually was such a product, or that anyone would buy it. Alas for my innocence....I'll never be able to unsee that. J effing C....WHY??? ( never mind the cake this time. I bet it's a vasectomy cake).

September 2, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterBarbara

Honestly, I don't get why all this is an issue! It's not as if they're the "main event", now....right? Get 'em outta the way, Homie, and cut to the chase...uhh, I mean CAKE. Yeah.... =^-.-^=

September 2, 2016 | Unregistered Commentersendingtheclowns

Truck nuts aren't just for the south anymore! We have them in Pennsylvania now too. Rednecks are spreading the "love"!

September 4, 2016 | Unregistered CommenterMindy

Too bad, I can't see the pictures. :( Were they taken down?

[Editor's note- Nope. Are you on a system that censors naughty stuff? Of course, there's nothing naughty in the picture at all but who knows what might trigger the censors... john (thoJ)]
