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? ;)
June 10, 2009 Note: You folks following me on the social networking site which shall not be named have already seen this, but it's just too good to keep as a Twits-Only exclusive.
So John and I were cruising around town last weekend looking for good Thrift shops, and lookie what we found instead!
A sign of Wrecks to come, perhaps? :D

how perfect! glad you found that.
love your blog, i'm a new reader!
I expect great things from this bakery...
I wish it said "Nomming Soon!"
Perfect, can't wait to see what's "comming" next.
wv - hysti
I'll bet there's going to be a few hysti fits when the customers see their cakes.
Oh joy...I would order a cake the first day it opened JUST so I would have a picture to put on here. Sad that the sign makers can't spell and even more sad that the owners didn't spot the mistake before hanging it.
These guys are going to specialize in super wrecky cakes!!! I Can't Wait!!
Can't wait for the show to begin...
I can't wait! Wrecks are the highlight of my day!
To quote Lelaina Pierce*, "I really can't define 'irony', but I know it when I see it!"
*Reality Bites (but you probably knew that)
It least it wasn't spelled with a "U"! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Oh No... They sure wouldn't win my business with a banner like that. Already off on the wrong foot!
A sign of wrecks to come-thanks for making me laugh tonight
This should be funny
"That is hilarious! There's also a shop that's called Cupcake's here in LV. I don't get the apostraphe! Does Cupcake own the shop?"
Hm,,, I hope that the misspelled 'apostraphe' was tongue in cheek.. :)
THat is too good! Hahaha.
wv: mabbi--"Mabbi, just mabbi, they did that on porpoise!"
well, they said "Perfect Cakes Bakery"....they said nothing about them being "Perfect Cakes with Perfect Spelling"! :)
BWAHHHHHHHAAAAA!
We can only hope!
Perfect cakes, my butt! I'm sure they'll end up making some doozies :-P
That's beautiful man.
A little ironic that the "Perfect" Cakes Bakery can't spell....
teehee.
You should submit that into the fail blog :p
~Vickie
Maybe we need to start a Sign Wrecks blog....
Pass the popcorn. It's going to be a great show.
wv: hiedis. Perfect Cakes store owner: "Maybe we can hiedis extra 'M' with a carrot jockey baby."
I wonder if that's a mistake, or if they intend to have Uhura announce something over the comm when this place opens.
I didn't even notice the mispelling at first. I figured someone calling their business "Perfect cakes" was just being presumptuous.
First off, I was reading through the comments, and just realized that there is another Drisana that reads this! That's a pretty small world if you ask me!

Wow. what a cake shop. I want to get a cake from there so I can see how wrecky it is!
OMG, hilarious, LOVE IT!!!!
Yeah, somehow I too get the feeling that this doesn't exactly bode well for the business... unless their customers have a good sense of humor. :P
Madam Cake Wrecks Chair,
I move we change the name to
Defect Cakes Bak'ry.
Off to a good start already by making a Perfect Cake of themselves.
Or are they secretly readers here and just baiting the hook? Hmm?
WV: aggsne. Aggsne again how to spell it.
Too funny!
i'm wondering if you put "auuugh" with CW3 because it looks like Charlie Brown's kite crashing?
Holy bat crap! How on earth does a misspelling like that make it past the sign maker??
Aiming for perfection is a noble goal. Clearly, it is harder to achieve than they thought.
@ Vashti "they say that pride comes before a fall!!!!!"
Or maybe pride comes before a fail.
that is too funny b/c there is the same sign (but for PIZZA HEAVEN) near my house. PIZZA HEAVEN COMMING SOON!
what's going on here?
And it's right in your town. How convenient!
I wonder if they knew what they were getting into when they moved into your town.
Actually, it's a GREAT sign!
I worked at a place that told me that stores misspell their store opening soon signs on purpose. It catches peoples eyes, they get to feel superior, the store can say it was the sign company's fault...
This reminds me of a girl that sent me a resume for a job I had posted. Her resume boasted about her "attention to details" but was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. LOL
Apparently Chloe O'Brien is "putting this on com" so Jack Bauer will never be without a Perfect Cake? That HAS to be what they mean, right?
And why oh why do I think this store is in my metro area... I swear this is a sign-wreck that could only happen in FloriDUH.
WV: consip
Ah yes. I knew this was local to me. Turns out we're six degrees separated on FB, lol.
i just need to add that my 7-year-old nephew was able to spot the mistake AND the irony in this...
just drove by this place in Orlando. they fixed the sign!

You all DO know that they mispell signs like those on purpose. It gets more 'looks' than a correctly spelled sign. Ask anyone who works in a sign shop.
