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? ;)
December 23, 2008 It's impossible to say how this idea first entered the decorator's brain...
But now it will haunt us both day and night.
This cake makes a mockery of my horror, Chris L. It's also really icky. Tell me, do all University of Texas cakes look like week-old medical specimens?

Most definitely a uterus or a heart. Maybe both. What would that be? A hearterus? A uterart?
Honestly, this cake looks like it should have been on the buffet table at an OB/GYN convention. My first thought of what it was, like others, was a uterus and falopian tubes. Seriously. Since I knew that couldn't possibly be what it really was, I was actually stumped. I never would have guessed UT mascot, but I can kind of sort of maybe almost see it.
Hookem' Horns....maybe?
What is it?
Are you sure this wasn't supposed to be one of the weird "Baby Shower Cakes"? It really does look like a uterus.
An Aggie probably decorated it that way on purpose.
Yeah, if it weren't for the comments, I'd have no idea what this was supposed to be. Well, I'm making an assumption that someone made an unidentifiable wreck, rather than deliberately decorating a cake with the leavings of a dog inflicted with severe bowel problems.
I love it!
Signed,
Another Aggie
Why does the longhorn have no face? Also, I found a CakeWrecks mention on PopWatch this morning on www.ew.com. Didn't know if you knew or not. Love this blog!
Is that what it's supposed to be?
That actually gave me an all body dry heave.
Thank goodness you said University of Texas. I had absolutely no idea what in the world that was supposed to be. I had convinced myself that it was indeed a "heart". Sad.
Perhaps it's suppose to be a graduation cake for a Pre-med student from UT? Who might be going to be a Gastoenterologist someday?
Yeah. I would have NEVER guessed that was a University of Texas Longhorn. And I, too, know what it's supposed to look like.
If you hadn't pointed it out, I would have spent the rest of my day wondering why someone would design a moldy-looking heart on a cake :).
Uterus made out of poop! I love it ... I'm so ordering that for my "Happy Menopause Party".
Being from Texas (and having lived north of Austin), I knew it was supposed to be a longhorn...But, it was rather scary-looking (and did look like something from the wrong end of a longhorn).
Are we sure the cake wasn't done by an Aggie fan? I know quite a few rabid Aggies who would probably enjoy that cake :o)
Saw varsity's horns off...
I bet an Aggie did this cake.
What is THAT , because to me it looks like a dog left it there
That's what happens when you get your degree from the TAMU School of Cake Decorating.
I vote "Uterus & Fallopian Tubes with Poo Overtones."
"No, no, no! It was supposed to be a WHITE cattle skull on a BROWN background, you color-blind moron! Now get back there and start over. You don't have time to use brown frosting, just airbrush it."
Such a mooooooooving conversation.
Word verification: cadess. A female cad.
The "decorator" must be a Texas A&M fan...haha!
It actually looks like an attempt at a Texas Longhorns cake. And since I believe they play Wisconsin this weekend in the bowl games (my hubby is a Badger Alum), perhaps a lovely Bucky the Badger cake is next to it?
Nope. Uterus/fallopian tubes or bleeding heart. I do NOT see a Texas longhorn AT ALL. Even after it was mentioned. I do love the brown scalloped border ... adds so much to the "design" ...
UT Longhorn or pile of poo? Jen reports, you decide! So gross!!
Being an OU fan....i think this cake is appropriate. ha ha
I guess I was the only one that thought it looked like a damaged brown jockstrap. I guess I know where my mind goes.
It looks like cow poo! (turns green in utter disgust) :(:(:(
It needs to be on Weird True And Freaky.
I thought this was a sick medical school cake celebrating the completion of gross anatomy.
I need some therapy. That was just traumatic!
I saw this exact same thing on my lawn courtesy of my dog....
as a sooner girl I think it's exactly what a long-horn looks like...something that should be in the toilet! haha! This is probably my favorite wreck yet! Boomer sooner!
-camssoonergirl
LOL... I LOVE it! Perfect!
BOOMER SOONER!
Maybe it is roasted chicken...in frosting...one giant lump of frosting. Honestly these wreckerators need to learn that it will look just fine if the frosting is smoothed out into the shape or whatever the picture is supposed to be. ahhh!
Oh Poo!
Funny, when I first saw this, I thought, "Geez, that's an odd take on the Texas Longhorns logo." You know you've created a wreck when viewers think it looks like what it should but aren't really sure.
Word verification: tives, what will break out on Texas Longhorn fans who eat this cake.
I sure am glad you told us what it was, because I would have never guess that in a million years. Heart on a necklace is what I see...
Definitely made in College Station.
If this cake were only upside down, it would be perfect... I'm an OU fan, so any Longhorn cake would be a wreck. :)
That is maybe the grossest cake I have ever seen on this site. Eeew!
Exactly how long has this wreck been out of the (piping) bag? It's a good indication that something has been unsold for long enough when the icing colors start bleeding. It's as bad as flies in the 5 year old window cakes.
This would be perfect for the serial killer in your life celebrating a birthday! "Look honey! A human heart necklace cake!" "And it's still beating!"
I thought it was a 3D tongue sticking out of a line mouth.
More like the Tell Tale Turd....
I'm pretty sure I've seen that design before...in an infant's diaper. I'm surprised Longhorn fans weren't storming the bakery.
OMG...I agree with dmontag, I am from Texas and at first glance thought of Tech, but yuck! Somebody needs to train that pastry chef, or boot the person that made her mad that day!
*gasp* Oh. My. Horror.
No way would I have ever guessed that was a Longhorn. I was just relieved it didn't say "Wishing you a speedy recovery"
Silly us, we thought the U in UT was for University.
I think the first one is the "Deep (really deep) in the Heart of Texas" cake.
The snowman/chicken cake...
WOW.
So it's not supposed to be a poop necklace? Really?
