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? ;)

Sunday Sweets: Happy Mother's Day!

The wonderful thing about mothers is that no two are alike. Every one is unique and worthy of celebrating. So today, let's celebrate moms, in all their infinite, cake-appropriate varieties.

Some moms drive carpools...

...and some drive jeeps:

Some moms like relaxing at the spa:

... and others like roughing it in the great outdoors:

By Pink Cake Box

(I know lots of moms who'd have a hard time choosing between those two, and others who would just consider them two different and undesirable ways to get covered in mud.)

 

There are crafty moms,

Sub'd by Rita F. and made by Meg Davis

 

... handy moms:

Moms who are masters of the kitchen,

Sub'd by Meghan B. and made by A Little Something Sweet Bakery

 

... or masters of take-out.

By Salt Cake City

 

There are moms who rock guitars,

By I Heart Cakes

 

and cradles:

By McGreevy Cakes, which has a video tutorial here.

 

So, for all the mothers out there, thank you for just being you.

For All You Mothers

Sometimes it's hard to tell Mom how much she means to us.

Other times it's hard to tell how she still puts up with us.

I like to think it's because of all the care and consideration that goes into the mother's day cakes we give her, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or, ok, maybe it's something else.

 

Just remember: I LOVE ALL YOU MOTHERS.

And if I could get every one of you moms out there a cake of your own, it would be this one:

Awwww YEEEEAH.

Happy weekend, everyone!
