Wreck Encounters of the Worst Kind

Have you experienced a Wreck Encounter with an Unexplainable Sweet Object (USO)? Watch for these signs!

Wreck Encounter of the First Kind: Visual sighting less than 50 feet away that shows considerable -- albeit completely useless -- detail.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Wreck Encounter of the Second Kind: A physiological effect is manifested, such as confusion or discomfort in the viewer.

*hurk*

Wreck Encounter of the Third Kind: An animated creature is present. These include bipeds,

um... [head tilt]... robots?

and whatever these are:

On the plus side, they don't seem able to breathe our atmosphere.

Wreck Encounter of the Fourth Kind: Direct communication between wrecks and humans.

Shhhh! Don't distract me... I can -- almost -- make it out...

Wreck Encounter of the Fifth Kind: Death associated with an Unexplainable Sweet Object.

Poor Mickey. It was a real blood bath.

(We experts call this "wrecksanguination.")

Wreck Encounter of the Sixth Kind: The creation of a human/USO hybrid.

THE POD PEOPLE ARE COMING.

If you've had a Wreck Encounter with a USO, send Cake Wrecks photographic evidence right away!
(Just don't get caught taking the pictures...)

We WANT to Believe!!!

Out of this world thanks to Anabel J., Cat, Anony M., Mark H., Nate W., Bridget A., & Robert A. for helping prove wrecks are out there. (Um, wait a minute, guys... That's NOT one of the accepted hand gestures...)

And to shed a little light on your next laptop encounter, how about this astronaut USB light?

You close her visor to turn off the light! BRILLIANT!

And at only $9 Prime on Amazon, it's a STELLAR stocking stuffer. (See what I did there?)

That's Not How This Works. That's Not How Any Of This Works.

Back by popular* demand! A brand new edition of Cakes Failing To Look Like The Things They're Supposed To Look Like!

[*The cats liked it.]

A Shamrock:

When the luck of the Irish has a bad day.
And then gets all its limbs cut off.

Balloons.
Literally the easiest thing you can make with cake:

WE'RE DOOMED.

A Football Helmet:

Alien skull. Final answer.

Flip-Flops:

If these look right to you, then someday you're going to make a podiatrist very, VERY happy.

Basketballs:

Or stick figures with no faces.

A School Bus:

Or so they claim.
I'm convinced this is actually a platypus named School Bus. See the little nostrils?

A Baseball Glove:

For the longest time I thought this was supposed to be turkey.
Then I saw the fingernails.

BONUS POP QUIZ!

Can you guess what this is supposed to be?

Here’s a hint:

“This is my handle
this is my… other handle
tip me over and play badminton with my lid.”

Thanks to Anony M., Jennifer M., Matt M., Katie T., Maggie P., Sally N., Tracie T., Jennalee, & Lauren L. who are all wondering what the birdie thing in badminton is called.*

* It’s called a shuttlecock.**

** Which reminds me of this post. Heh.

Here's something that mostly looks like what it's supposed to:

Paw-some Pet Stockings

The little fish bones on the cat one are so cute!
