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? ;)

You glaze a poo stack, Jack.

 

Skip the cake pan, Stan.

 

Put on some bear toys, Roy.

Just listen to me.

 

Such a big fuss, Russ.

There's no gift card for me, Lee.

Still a cheapskate, I see.

 

Thanks to Mariel C., Casey, Susan S., Aaron R., Stephanie, Becky M., Meredith M., Ailis M., & Kathryn H., who know Mom will love anything you get her, but a better cake wouldn't hurt.
