What's a Wreck?
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? ;)

Where's the book?
We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.

I love this site, I just really, really do. Hope you don't mind that I've linked to it from my own foodblog. Keep up the funny!
Well, what CAN I say that wouldn't get deleted? LOL
Hmmm. The yellow brick road is pretty well-executed!
I absolutely love your blog! I just stumbled upon it and have been laughing out loud in my office ever since. Genius.
Austin Powers' "Goldmember" vistis Oz...
....It's a "back massager" cake. *winkwink*
I was going to ask if they had to use anything as a form underneath to hold up the "spires". lol
Sure it's a cake? It looks like part of it was knitted and the rest flocked or covered in artificial turf. Maybe the spray kind you can get for model train sets...
I thought....GOLD - FINGER.
What's the scale of this masterpiece? Does um some 'little' man jump out of it?
My first thought was "Why are there gold-leafed bread sticks coming out of that cake?"
My seond thought was self deleted. Heh heh.
You know I grew up in Kansas... but I never knew the Emerald City was made hallmarked by a dildo factory.
Until I scrolled down to see the lower part of the cake, I was wondering how rabid a Babylon 5 fan you'd have to be to make a cake depicting Centauri genitalia.
I hope Dorothy and the gang brought spelunking gear.
It certainly was erected a bit crookedly
LOL Yes, yes it was "erected" a bit crookedly. They obviously put a lot of effort into the other decorations, I'm not sure why they did the equivalent of play-doh snakes for the fondant.
haha Austin Powers' "Goldmember" vistis Oz...classic x
