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.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

Looks like Drity Thrify to me.
The chocolate cake doesn't look to bad as I love chocolate -- Same here it looks like Drity Thrify oh well they tried.
I just have to tell you I discovered this blog while laid up in bed with a terrible summer cold. I credit your site with helping clear my poor old lungs (gross as that may seem!). I laughed until I simply could not breathe, then laughed even more! Laughter truly is the best medicine! Thank you and keep up the wonderful work...
Congraniations "Jen"!
What in the heck is a dirty thirty? Is it a specific type of birthday party? if so please let me know...
OMG - that's hysterical. Do you really believe that somebody paid for that?
Wonder Twin Cupcake Powers, Activate!
I'll form of a collapsed Yeti Nipple!
I'll form of the Clap!
I'm glad you explained what it was supposed to say b/c I wouldn't have gotten it, on my own.
What the heck is a dirty thirty party anyway?
Bahaha!!!
In norwegian "Dritt" means "Crap". That makes it even funnier to me :)
Dirty Thirty is not a kind of party. It is just something a friend from Austin always said when people turn 30. And we paid for it because we were in a hurry and it was pretty funny. ;)
oh.my.gosh.
i just heard about your blog... so of course i ran right over to check these out. this one almost made me fall out of my chair at work.
The good news for this decorator is that a recent proposal was made for allowing such mistakes to be considered (legitmate)"alternate spellings"--spellings that would be acceptable in college/university classrooms. See the story here:

Sad, sad, sad.
Sorry about the link. Let me see if the rest comes through. This should be the remainder of the word "spelling" and the rest of the link:
