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? ;)

Attention Cake Wrecks Readers!

The FBA (Food and Blog Administration) has issued strong new warnings for those who view this blog on a regular basis.

Frequent readers may experience one or more of the following:

 

Blurred Vision

 

Confusion

...often combined with squinting and stilted reading aloud.

 

Spontaneous German Utterances (SPU)

Ja, es ist ein Junge mit einer verstopften Eule!
(Yes, it is a boy with a constipated owl!)

 

Drooling

"What? Is there something on my face?"

 

Temporary loss of bowel function

 

And most serious of all:

Despair for the Future of Humanity

*headdesk*

 

*headdeskheaddesk*

 

*headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

...often followed by a wicked headache.

 

If you, or a member of your family, have experienced any of these symptoms while reading Cake Wrecks...

GOOD!

See you tomorrow!

 

Thanks to Danielle G., Hannah F., Alison U., Karina R., Carly G., Stacey G., Stacey T., Julie G., and Jesse McE. for helping to expose these potential side effects to the public. And, yes, it IS SPU-- Spontane Preußischen Übersprachen. It's a technical term. You don't need to look it up. Really.

Challenge Accepted, Reddit. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

So you've probably seen the graduation wreck from Reddit that went viral this week. You know, this one:

Everyone's been focusing on the misspellings, but the real unsung "hero" here is that spacing.

 

This thing has been EVERYWHERE this week, and the way people are reacting - with the ROTFL-ing and the up-voting and re-posting on every major news site and all the OMG THIS IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN LOLOLOLOL - well, I might be starting to empathize with a side of chopped liver.

I mean, remember the time we had that "celebiation of learnin"?

And when the Wicssaset Gardautes were Cogngrtaualated?

Or what about my Graduaccion, guys? What about that?

Go d! GO. Bless you.


[sniffling] Five years in, I tell ya, and it's almost like the tossel WASN'T worth the hastle:

And that hurts, guys. IT HURTS.

[staring dramatically out rain-streaked window]


We just never seem to Imagin, Draem, OR Achive together anymore:

And we used to...[lip wobble]...we used to DREM BIG. Remember?

[blowing nose]

Look, I know you have funny cake needs. I do. And I guess sometimes you're going to look at someone ELSE's funny cakes. But you know what? At the end of the day, I'll still be here, serving up your Cograts on Garautions:

 BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, that's why. (There, I said it.)

And also because this Oreo addiction isn't going to pay for itself. 

But mostly that first thing.

 


Thanks to Sara M., Brooke B., Yvette A., Cynthia, Lizzie & Taylor, Ashlee R., Sarah B., & Susan H. for always loving me unconditionally, and also for knowing better than to challenge me to a baby shower wreck-off. [evil grin]
