Friday Favs: 7/3/15

Some of my favorite submissions this week:

Wrecky minion Catie paid her bakery $150 to make a Death Star cake something like this:

(Anyone else have a baaaad feeling about this?)

Here's what she got:

THAT'S NO DEATH STAR.

I especially like the paper cut-outs of light sabers. o.0

Over in Things That Actually Exist, here's the "One Direction Chart Topping Cupcake Kit:"

They had to make the frosting chocolate, didn't they.

Now, granted, those weren't made by a professional baker. As we all know, a professional would make that kit look truly... er...

Never mind.

(WHY IS IT SO GREEN?! *hurk*)

According to the bakery where Stacie bought it, this is a dolphin:

A DOLPHIN.

Really.

And finally, yes, I'm sure it's intentional, and it's probably not even new, but it made me laugh, and it's Friday, so HERE:

Thanks to Catie, Matthew C., Anne, Stacie S., & Sandra O. for inspiring everyone's next office birthday cake.

This, Not That

Attention, bakers!

[wiping eyes] Hoo WHEE!

Yeah. Not that.

Thanks to Christina, Dana S., Kris M., & Christal W. for being all that. (Eh? EH??)

UPDATE - As our regular readers know, we strive to keep Cake Wrecks silly and light-hearted, never mean-spirited, so of course we removed the Elsa cake as soon as Icing Smiles (the organization the baker volunteers with) asked us to. Had we known the circumstances behind the cake, we never would have posted it to begin with. (One of our readers submitted the photo after finding it on Facebook, I believe.)

We post funny cakes, but we NEVER direct ridicule toward individual bakers. In fact, we take pains to remove any store labels, just to avoid embarrassing anyone. After all, who hasn't goofed up before? We're here to giggle over silly cakes, not publicly shame anyone.

I can't tell you how much it grieves us to see Ms. Grant on the receiving end of so much ugliness as more news outlets continue to run this story. No one deserves such treatment over a cake, and we wish her only the very best in the future.
