Exhibit A:
I have no words.
Exhibit B:
I have words, but none that can be repeated in polite company. Egads, man, the hoof! I don't even want to know what that is inside it - just tell me it's not the cake server, please. [shudder]Exhibit C:
"We are gathered here today to join this man, this woman, and this truck in holy matrimony..."Exhibit D:
For a "shotgun wedding" perhaps? (Ba-dum-bump!)
And finally, Exhibit E:
Hey, look, an actual bride and groom topper - no deer heads! Oh, but there IS a deer...and the bride's toting a shotgun...and I'm suddenly in the mood for fruit roll-ups. Huh.I'm actually a bit disappointed that I couldn't find a Nascar-themed wedding cake. Anyone have one to send me? C'mon: it'll be therapeutic!
Thanks to Chris M., Melody H., Jacy D., and both Anony M.s for their expert Wreckporting!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 259 of 259 Newer› Newest»well, the theme is... to say the least... a bit of
but all the cakes are very well done, some of them extremely well done...
so I say the wreck is the theme, not the cake...
and the theme is hilarius...at least for a wedding... LOL
I've been reading and visiting the blog for a long time, and this is my first comment, congrats on a very well done blog
Great, thank you very much.
Now guess what my OH wants as a wedding cake.
I know it's my fault I showed them to him.
Although apparently the car has to be a range rover and he's got the model version all ready to go.
I can go off websites you know ;)
Its not NASCAR but it is a car racing wedding cake.
http://storybookwedding.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/dsc05047.jpg
God bless america, we sure need it with people like this!
I really have no words! If I had to choose the best wedding cake I think it would have to be the tree stump with the initials carved in it (and that's if I HAD to pick) ha-ha.
Great post.
I didn't have a NASCAR themed cake, but I did have NASCAR limos! It was exciting... but I'm sure if my husband had seen one of those other options he'd have petitioned for some sort of replica... I'm glad I went with a traditional looking cake... I can't call it a wreck except my cake topper was sitting in front of it because the baker had put a bazillion icing flowers on top where the bride and groom were supposed to go.. oh well...
Though they are all strange, I think the first one is actually very pretty-if you take the heads off the top. LOL!
Groom's cake: http://www.cakesbysam.com/images/Wedding_Cakepics/jengroom.jpg
No idea where it comes from, but: http://picasaweb.google.com/lighthousewilly/TheKrekowSWedding#5188790505039396066
I found a ton of cake toppers (this being my favorite: http://ny-image0.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.13789468.jpg), a ton of non-wedding NASCAR cakes, and a ton of people who were talking about having a NASCAR-themed wedding ... but no NASCAR wedding cakes other than these! Weird.
WV: halight. This blog is the halight of ma mornin :)
Except for the shotgun shells and neon bugs, I think the tree stump cake is cute for a groom's cake.
Actually, I think the top one is quite beautiful if it were for a FALL motif only. Get rid of the scary heads on top and you're good to go.
Sarah 2E
All the men wore camoflagued vests under their tuxedo jackets at my cousin's wedding.
Actually, from a distance it looked like a very-tastefully designed ornate pattern.
I wouldn't have called most of these "wrecks", either. Your wedding cake should be about you. Ever watch "Ace of Cakes"? They do some pretty weird cakes, but, hey, that's what the paying customers want!
Are the first set of initials on that stumptastic cake really DWI? Because if so, thats fantastic! Think of all the jokes!
Maybe it stands for Decorating while intoxicated, instead of the usual driving while intoxicated? Deer without icing? Oh, I'm out, but maybe others more clever then myself can think of more funny things.
God, I'm going directly to hell for mocking someones wedding cake, arnt I? Oh well, I'm in good company.
I think all these cakes are actually pretty beautiful. Except the second one, the camo-and-blood cake...not quite sure what they were going for there.
Word verification word: ratemis
uhhh Marian, blue balls on a wedding cake? My inner teenage boy is laughing hysterically
http://www.myriadcakedesign.com/pages/wedding.php
Is it just me or does it look like the bride shot the groom and is dragging him to his grave on that one cake.
Cheating already?
Clever and beautiful, particularly the first one. Playful and perfect for that bachelor party event. As a wedding cake for the reception after the wedding... ummm... no!
Exhibit C is classic - my husband would have loved this cake for our wedding.
oh man, just google "nascar cake". There's a whole lot of "great" stuff there. How do I know this? A friend was looking for an idea for her brother's birthday cake. yeah.
Oh yeah, nothing says true love like a clear-cut tree stump and a shotgun. The monster truck? Does anyone in that bride's family know the word - INTERVENTION - ?! Daaang...
Ya know, the first cake has some nice things....the leaves are amazing!....that's about it. Haha....I have to wonder about the one with the mudslide... Did the hubby-to-be just want to be involved in the cake design part of it??
I really like the first cake, although I'd make sure it was a doe, not just a spike buck on it. I wasn't married in camo, but I did sew a camo dress for my junior prom. Then again, I'm the deer hunter in the family - the hubby thinks it's too much trouble.
The truck cake gave me an idea for hubby's birthday too. Anyone know where I can find a Dodge Ramcharger model? He has 2 of the old things.
I did a NASCAR cake for my husband's groom's cake (well, I just took a regular cake and put his favorite #3 car on top ... this was before Dale died. Had a little bride and groom next to it ... turned out kind of cute, and he was nicely surprised).
Our actual wedding cake had purple flowers and pretty bells on top, though, very non-wrecky.
wow, some of these cakes are very creative, but at a wedding?? I love the first one the most -
4 tiers of deer, you can't miss it - I got even my hubby to watch these wedding cakes,
thanks for sharing, jeannette
So, the first deer cake looks like it'd be perfect for my college roommate, who wanted to put a deer head on the wall of our room (hint: I'm an animal rights person, haha). When I vetoed that, she covered her bed in bunny skins just to taunt me. We have a theory that the student services office had their pet monkey match our roommate applications together, because we couldn't be more opposite, lol. But yeah, she'd love that cake. I think I'll email it to her...muhahaha...
I know there are some comments higher up in the stream about the first cake clearly featuring two male deer...one a mature buck, and the other but a youngster... Is this maybe a NAMBLA cake? A redneck NAMBLA cake?
I agree with Emily J - I think the first one is lovely!
You know, the first one, without the decapitated animal heads, isn't too bad. At least it's well made. And I kind of think the "shotgun wedding" one is a little cute...*shug* maybe I'm just oblivious to what rednecks really look like from people on the outside-I wouldn't say I am one, but I've lived in the south my whole life. Meh.
Well these look like they were made for people having fun. Anything has to better than these weddings which cost fortunes and make everybody uncomfortable and miserable.
That frosted loaf of bread looked as though someone had just squeezed a chihuahua after several helpings of chili.
This is just a new tradition of the "man cake" at weddings. There is a normal cake which is often seen as "girly" as then, the new "man cake" where the man can have something manly, like hunting on it.
Some of these are very beautiful cakes, even if they are entirely inedible.
Just as a matter of opinion, I see a wedding as a very personal thing, and if you want a "redneck" cake as your wedding cake, then it's your wedding. Not every wedding cake has to be white with flowers, after all.
I also have to say that I think that most of those cakes were done very well. They look almost as well done as some things I've seen on "Ace of Cakes" on Food Network.
To the anonymous right above me, they aren't "man cakes", they're "groom's cakes", and they aren't a new tradition in southern states.
Personally, I think that your wedding cake should reflect your personality, and as such refuse to qualify these as wrecks, as wedding cakes or not.
Maybe I'm just sick to death of seeing wedding cakes that look *exactly* like every other wedding cake out there, but I didn't find most of these to be wrecktastic at all (of course, I've got four months to go in an 22-month engagement, and I'm on wedding planning overload, so I may be biased). In fact, I thought most of them were quite well-done. I really like the first one and the one with the truck.
Kudos to those happy couples who decided that they didn't want monograms, polka dots, or whatever else the wedding websites are proclaiming as eminently chic and went with something that reflected their personalities and interests instead! :)
At least they look to be well made. They are great though.
Probably nobody will see this, there being near 300 comments, but has anyone noticed that on the tree trunk cake, one of the names (initials) is *DWI*??? Is that hilarious or what?
A side note: in Italy the word "cornuto" ("horned", as in horned animal) also means "cuckold". :-D
the first cake actually isn't THAT bad... just that cake and animals are like water and oil.
Exhibit D would've made a cute cake for an Anniversary party if it weren't for shotgun shells
how creative you are! your comments made my day, what a spirit! well done!
I am still searching for the elusive NASCAR wedding cake, but this topper ( http://www.magicalday.com/NASCAR-wedding-cake-topper.html ) gives me hope (?) that one is out there somewhere.
Exhibit A was brilliant. We don't have cakes like that in Australia. There was great skill involved but the taste was questionable. The juxtaposition of the 2 = enjoyment for all!!
This is great these are some of the cake ideas we have for our wedding we are going to show the pictures to our cake decorator and see what she can do thank you for posting these pics
My mother pointed out that the deer on the left, with the small horns, is also a male. Female deer do not have horns. Brokeback Mountain in Alabama? :)
Did anyone catch that the first cake had two male deer on it? Maybe an old buck and his twink?
Most of those cakes were beautifully executed- proof that even a skilled baker cannot render a tacky theme tasteful.
I think the cakes were very well done - and I don't understand why this kind of non-traditional wedding cake elicits so much horror, while everyone falls all over themselves to praise wedding cakes with super mario, vampire, james bond, star wars, nightmare before christmas & other very non-traditional themes.
For every geek-themed cake that someone loves, someone else probably thinks its tacky. Why so much hate for the hunting / truck cakes? Are they really more tacky than Star Wars?
Am I the only person who thinks it looks like the bride is dragging the groom along the ground? Maybe they shouldn't have given her that gun...
They are all well done and pretty, but definitely inappropriate for a wedding.
Though the stump cake was a pretty cool and cute idea, assuming it didn't have the shells surrounding it it would make a pretty adorable hippie wedding cake.
I think Exhibit A looks pretty!
Loved cake A... until the deer of course.
Nascar wedding cakes abound curtesy of google. I found a couple of 'good' versions here...
http://www.texasmotorspeedway.com/forums/p/3548/21907.aspx
Good to see such great work, brings a smile everytime I check in.

The first cake's toppers with the deer are actually two male deer. No does have antlers. So, it's an adult male deer marrying a young male deer. Pedo-deer, anyone?
my BIL had a NASCAR themed groomsman cake. I got to make it. I bought two cars for it and my brother and the groom keep switching which car was "in the lead" on the cake (one was the grooms fave driver, the other my bro's). I don't get NASCAR. They drive in a circle. for hours. um, hello? boring.
Ok this comment is a bit late and a dollar short, but seriously WHAT THE FUDGE IS WRONG WITH THE FIRST CAKE. I see NOTHING wrong with it, it was obviously VERY well made, it's not a gelatinous mass of goo that makes me get sick to my stomach and want to flee to the nearest restroom. It is original, it is somewhat cute. I mean good god someone gets a decent cake for a wedding and it has to be the anti christ/a wreck because it's not floral, pastel or cutsie wootsie?! I've seen some goth cakes that were well done posted up here a while back, and some harvest cakes and easter cakes and etc, but heaven forbid two people get a cake that's worth the money they spent it on because it screamd redneck!?
God some people.
Exhibit A: Very well done, but so very wrong.
Exhibit C: Perhaps the rescue vehicle is coming to the aid of that poor, innocent cake.
Exhibit D: My favorite parts, apart from the shells, are the hyper-realistic katydid and caterpillar.
The designer of exhibit E has some serious issues. I thought it was a hunting theme until I noticed the following: The bride is facing away from the deer, which seems to be merely a witness. The groom, meanwhile, is not standing and is apparently being dragged...
i think the first one is very pretty im just wonderin why the doe has antlers...the 3rd one is really cute too
Not traditional by any manners of means. Not sure I could have this. xx
Didn't see a NASCAR themed cake exactly, but did see a NASCAR topper: http://www.bridalwave.tv/nascar.jpg Enjoy the Reneckiness! =)
Did you get a race car themed wedding cake yet?? http://media.cakecentral.com/gallery/696028/1291322110.jpg
