Well, unless it's one of these.
Hah! Wait, you are joking, right? Uh, yeah, I think maybe I'll pass - thanks, though. Really.No, seriously; now you just seem too eager. Keep your stinkin' cake, alright?
Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Back off, Chucky-boy!
No!
Well, I should think so! You're supposed to be sweet little confections, not all threatening and...
...eek! Uh, no problem, mister Cake, sir - not a word from me, nuh-uh!Kelly, Moxie, Michele H., Ashley C., and Nikki P., I've been trying to cut down on sugar lately, and I think it's getting to me. If you'll excuse me, I'm just going to go lay down for a spell...

This opens up so many possibilities! Love the death cake...
Bone and hair cake reminds me of the Pizza in the dorm fridge at college... only they posted the warning a week later "The pizza in blue wrap may contain (and probably does) hair, nail clippings, and other things we found on the bathroom floor"
Passive aggressiveness + sugar = a speechless me. Wow!
Word verification: repturs, what may happen to you if you actually eat some of these cakes (especially the ones with the bone fragments)
Well, at least in these cases, the wreckiness is due to what the customer requested (at least, I'm pretty sure it is). The handwriting on these is nice, fairly well centered (except for number 2, maybe). I do like the choice to have all that pink icing on the last one, with the word "KILL" in red. Nice touch.
I'm just going to pleasantly and innocently assume there is a downright HILARIOUS inside joke to go with each of those cakes. There has to be - otherwise, bakeries really need to start doing more thorough background checks during the hiring process.
Sorry for all those things WE said??? Wow- that's a real apology if I have ever seen one!
Wow. Mafia cakes. Run for you lives!
I gotta say the writing on the first cake is beautiful but I wonder what that warning came from????
I think my fave is the "suck it" cake...I have a serious weakness for oreos...

You know, as hilarious as I find the "Death is closer than ever" cake, I think I would cry if someone gets me that for my next birthday (especially since it's one of those "milestone" birthdays).
that last one made me laugh out loud for real.
WAT. OK, all I can say is..."INAPPROPRIATE"!!!!!
Cripes. Why deface (supposedly) perfectly good cake like that?
*walks away shaking head and muttering*
Here, let us present our death threats with pretty flowers and finely-done script....
This is one of my favorite topics so far!!!!
Silence...I'll Kill You.
Check out my Daily Gif Blog...just started my first giveaway.

The "sorry" cake is actually quite pretty, besides the fact that it's really bizarre.
But you have to really love how these threatening messages are accompanied by sweet little roses and rosettes!
I love these!
am i weird for thinking the "suck it" cake looks delicious?
I wonder where are "dead horse head" cakes...
I shouldn't be, but I am actually disturbed by these. (except the suck it one)
Are you going to hate me if I tell you that my college prof taught me that "alright" is two words and not one? Eeek! Sorry.
The "Suck It" cake was awesome. And I'm very tempted to do the "Death is closer than ever" cake for a friend's upcoming bday.
Surprisingly they were all decorated quite nicely!
That last cake reminds me of this: http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2008/09/12/i-dont-need-a-birthday-cake-i-said/
Warning: the language on the cake is more colorful than the cake
I agree with Sister Raven, the handwriting on each of the cakes is nice (my favorite is the first one). And nothing appears to be spelled incorrectly... ;)
Haha, I love the "Suck It!" cake.. that totally just made my day. :] Love you, Cake Wrecks!
These cakes are amazing. Wow. The last one is the most amazing cake I've ever seen.
These cakes all seem straight-up aggressive to me...not a passive one in the bunch!
WOW, all I can say is WOW and hope my friends are nicer.
Suck it!
ha ha ha! I really did almost laugh out loud at one...right in the middle of the office
"Death is closer than you think"...is that along the same vein as the ones before it? Death is closer than you think...because this cake is poison!
These are fantastic! I can't decide on a favorite! Maybe "Sorry About Those Things We Said," because it's so open ended.
Okay, I may be weird, but I LOVE the cake that says, "If you tell anyone about this we will KILL you!" It's just the sort of cake my brothers would give me after doing something super-nice for me. Like buy me a cake.
New to commenting here, i have lurked for weeks now....but would you not LOVE to hear the story behind some of these....they would be GREAT i'm sure!
I love the last one!!! Somehow the flowers seem to make the threat of death a little less ominous!!
I'd sure love to hear the story behind each of THOSE. Yikes! Can you imagine filling those orders?!?
I think I need a standing order for one of those "Sorry for all those things we [I] said" cakes...I have a lot of people I could give that to on a regular basis. :)
Gotta say, that first cake is beautifully decorated. The border is neat and even, the flowers are tiny and tasteful, the lettering is both fancy and legible and not an off-putting colour. Other than the "Danger!" part I'd totally eat it.
Oh, I loved these cakes. The other cakes make me giggle, smile, or chuckle, but I had to read these out loud and laugh really hard.
Woohoo, I'm well on my way to getting my 20 minutes of laughter or whatever today, and it's not even 10!! I love you!
I am quite impressed that "than" is spelled correctly on the "Death is closer..." cake. The last cake freaked me out, though.
Is it a coincidence that passiveaggressivenotes.com has a cake-titled post today and cake wrecks has a passive-aggressive titled post, is it a mutual respect thing or do i simply read too many blogs, making it statistically probably that sooner or later such a thing is bound to occur?
either way. keep up the great work?
Those are generally quite pretty, if strange. Maybe I'm macabre, but I really like the "death is closer" cake. As I (and StrongSad) like to say, each day we die a little more!
I'm seriously crying here...hilarious!
can I get about a dozen 'Suck It' cakes? *snort*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
I love the 'non-posionous' cake. Seriously, I just might bring that cake to my next pot luck or party where cake would be appropriate...
Geeze, what kind of readers does this blog attract? They're loving this stuff! (I didn't know there were so many others like me.)
I LOVE the "Don't tell anyone..." cake. That's awesome!!
Seems to me like some fabulous ideas for maximizing cake leftovers from your party! If no one else will eat it, more for ME! Very smart.
Okay, Jenn~
New category for your cakes: "Anger Management Issues". LOL
Amy B.
I love how all of these are so beautifully written and centered - skilled decorators got roped into wrecks by request. I hope they all got a chuckle.
i have never seen cake i didn't want to eat, or actaully make me lose my appetite, until that first one.
"Sorry for all the things YOU said" would have been a nice cake to return to the sender.
This one so belongs here: http://s3.amazonaws.com/media.photobasement.com/alwaysfing.jpg
Hair and bone fragments...sounds like a cake that went to our office Christmas party. :-D
I wish I knew the story behind these. My roomie and I were honestly talking about giving our third roommate a cake that said, "Pack your junk and get out" (long and very passive aggressive story) All these years later I must say I regret it because I could have sent it to you.
Lol!
I just keep imagining the decorators scratching their collective heads and asking "Are you sure this is what they wanted?"
These have got to have great back-up stories...so glad I had swallowed my coffee first.
I SO want a "death is closer than ever" cake for my birthday. Seriously, that would make my day!
(keep in mind, I brought my friend in the psych ward a cake that said "Get Sane Soon!" on it - which he loved but the nurses were APPALLED by!)
I think the first case is celebrating someone's cyst. Cysts can contain hair and bone fragments.
Not that it makes it any less palatable, you understand.
I just found your blog and it is HYSTERICAL! I love it!!! Thank you so much for all the awesome cake pics. I don't even know which is my favorite - I'm blinded by all the funny! :o))
I like those cakes, the last one is great !
Is Dwight Shrute making cakes now?
--Samantha
so I googled "translate peligro" and came up with: hazard or nastiness. That definitely fits with the rest of the text on cake #1...
O.M.G. why on EARTH would anyone make cakes that say such things?!?! I can imagine away some of Jen's more odd additions, but these leave me completely bewildered. Death is closer than ever?!?! perhaps to the wreckerator!
Wow...I've never seen a death cake before!
EEEEK!
Where oh where is the "I'm not speaking to you" cake?
Hilarious as always, Jen. And as an added bonus, I'm now reading and loving The Plug. Another real gem, this one. Thanks!
These cakes make me wish that my coffin cake pan was still functional. Wouldn't that "Death is closer than you think" inscription look just marvelous on a coffin cake? Yes, the obvious "overkill" joke has already occurred to me.
So this might be super random, but do you have some sort of thing going with passiveaggressivenotes.com? Because on Feb. 19th their post had "cake," in the title, and on Feb. 20th your post had "passive aggressive" in the title...Coincidence?
Nothing says I'm sorry for saying all of those things than a cake that REMINDS you with every tasty bite of all the things that were said.
I think most of those cakes are just regular old aggressive.
that last one could have come from Achmed the Dead Terrorist (Jeff Dunham---love him!)
love the site... here's ones that are not such a wreck!
http://www.toxel.com/inspiration/2009/02/11/27-beautiful-and-creative-cake-designs/
LOL, maybe I should order up one of these cakes for some of my co-workers... hehhehe
these are fantastic ;)
Don't you think the "kill you" cake should have posies on it instead of roses?? LOL!!
If someone ever gave me a cake like those ones, it would be all over !
Horrid, gross and funny all at the same time...there sure are a lot of warped people out there...
The ingredient cake reminds me of the game Portal. The list of ingredients for the cake are dreadful.
"The cake is a lie."
I love it!
Your on this weeks Web Zen blog!
I am SO glad that I wait until the end of the day to read Cakewrecks!! Everyday I find that I'm laughing just as hard at the comments as at the original posts... it's a perfect way to chase away the cares of the day... and get some abdominal exercise from the belly laughs!
Ok. I absolutely loved the Suck It cake. Hilarious!
-Amy
anne, i'd cry too if someone gave me the "death is closer than ever" cake, but they'd be tears of LAUGHTER! i'm ROFLMAO over the fact this was actually posted on my birthday. i'll consider that close enough to receiving it, since i don't like cake all that much anyway :D
word V: hystor i think these cakes are hystor-ical!
speaking of weird things written on cake, I'm reminded of a birthday cake my best friend got me one year that read, "Pillage and Plunder all the way." There was a story behind it which made sense to me, but I bet the decorator was so confused.
"Death is closer than ever" would be a great cake for any member of my choir on our birthdays. We, and other university choirs round Australia, sing a funny but grim version of Happy Birthday that contains references to impending death, as well as plundering and pillaging. All to the tune of the Volga Boatmen. I'm just wondering if Casey knows that song too :)

Those cakes are making me giggle.
Especially the "If you tell anyone we'll KILL you cake."
*snicker*
hahahaha OMG i love the suck it cake.
I am a long time lurker of this blog first time commenter but dang this had to be said.. the suck it cake rocks! lol
oh and im so glad you are on twitter! I am following ya :D
I heard about a cake that was special-ordered this weekend, and I can only hope somebody thinks to take a picture and send it to this site. The decorator said it was the best message she'd been given to write this year, and charged them for only half of the letters.
The message?
"Sorry I pissed on your stuff, man."
In the spirit of constructive criticism which abounds here, if you're going to say "passive-aggressive", you need to include the hyphen. Otherwise, you need to say "passively aggressive". Yes, I know, I'm a major pain in the neck!
A shout out to Cake Wrecks from Passiveaggressivenotes!!
My two favorite blogs collide!!
http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/
cake wrecks got an honorable mention! check it out!
The "Suck it!" cake speaks to me. I can think of so many people to send that to...
I actually like the one that says suck it. haha.. my weird personality traits lol.
cool blog! i love all of them.. except that pregnant one off course lol.
keep up the great work.
now i'm hungry :/
I'm almost certain "Please enjoy this free and non-poisonous cake" is from the game Portal. If not, I'd bet it was inspired by it.
-girl with the lime
I think I made the cake with the "tell anyone...kill you" on it! To whoever took that picture, where was it taken?
I swear, I was at the party were the Kill You cake was served! If not, one just like it. (And, for the record, in context the whole cake makes perfect sense. I could tell you why, but then I'd have to kill you.)
The first one made me think of Sweeney Todd. Since those meat pies went over so well...
The "suck it" cake.. How do YOU eat YOUR oreos? Sucking on them wouldn't be my first choice but hey..
And the last one made me wonder, just what was it that must not be told to anyone? And I like the idea of threatening someone by sending them a very frilly, non-intimidating-looking cake. Clever. I'll have to try that sometime.
That last message is funny. its as if they know...its a terrible cake. Nice one. :) xx
