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? ;)

Cungrate... Condrag... Gut Job!

Wahooo! SCOOL'S OUT!

 

Or.... is it?

Not gonna lie: kinda confused right now.

 

Well, assuming you students aced all your subjects:

(If only they taught USEFUL stuff in school, am I right?)

 

...then I hear some Congradularons are in order!

 

Unless you prefer a "Congralulalio" - 'cuz I've got one of those, too:

 

Eesh. You know, I have so many hundreds of misspelled "congratulations" cakes in the archives I may never post them all. I wonder when bakers decide to just give up completely?

Er, that was rhetorical, guys...

 

C'mon, now. We have to move on.

 

STAHP.

 

What the... Congrauktion.at?!

 

 

So, in conclusion:

I think I already did.

11 MerMay Sweets

It's Mer-May, minions!

Let's make some waves.

(Canberra Cake Designer, Australia)

This sugar glass "water" is the stuff that dreams are made of. How did they get those color blends?
HOW?

 

When I first saw this cake I thought it was tiny, but it's actually huge!

(Paloma Sempere Gras, Spain)

And look at all that detail! I can't get over her floating hair.

 

More gorgeous sugar glass:

(Lolli Cakes By Ella, California)

 

And look at these adorable pastel cuties:

(Patricia Arribálzaga, Spain)

I like the way the tail are tucked in the wavy layers, so clever.

 

Plus I have to show you one more from Patricia, because this tail pop is too cute:

 

Of course if we're talking mermaids, we have to include a certain red-head:

(From Instagram, but I can't track the baker down. Help?)

This is my new favorite art of Ariel, I love how pastel she is. And check out the little clams on top, with the pearls inside!

 

And now for something... completely different:

(Daniel Diéguez, UK)

What can I say except, you're welcome. :D

(I was so tempted to put this one last and call him the Happy Ending.)

 

I almost didn't include this evil siren, but I think you guys will appreciate her total badassness:

(Dmytrii Puga, Ukraine)

Ahhh-MAZING. I still can't believe she's cake.

 

My friend Bianca reminded me I have to show off a cake of the ORIGINAL mermaid inspiration, so here ya go:

(Kyrsten's Sweet Designs, Pennsylvania)

Barbara Manatee says, "Draw me like your French girls."

:D

(DAT FACE.)

 

Not technically a mermaid, but this stained glass hippocampus designs is too stunning to leave out:

(Steel Penny Cakes, Pennsylvania)

 

And last but not least, an Art Nouveau beauty that made my jaw drop:

(Fatiha Kadi Cake Designer, Hungary)

You guys go on ahead. I'mma just stare at this a while.

::dreamy sigh::

 

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope the rest of your week goes swimmingly.
