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? ;)
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.
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.

The last one: The Chocolate Chip Mafia sends Cookie Monster's family a strong message.
Oh, these are SOO wrong!!! The M is slightly reminiscent of the kool-aid dude. A very wonky, angry Kool-aid dude.
The soul-less of the yarn dog cakes, the ultra-attentive eyes of the hamburger, and the demented eyes of Sponge Bob all seem to me following me.
Protect me, angry M & M!
Wow. These cakes are amazing! The M&M one is my favorite! All legs! I also like the last one. It looks like cookie monster with a cookie stuck in his mouth.
mysleepinghusband.com
That top cake cost $23.99? Wow. I really gotta start charging more for my cakes!
So, what is Cookie Monster really trying to say? "STOP STICKING CANDLES IN MY FACE!"
0_o good grief
That last one looks like the opener for "Dateline: When Cookies Attack".
WV: haster. She haster read CakeWrecks every day.
The M&M's right arm is attached to its leg, rather than the leg being attached to the body. Not that I think cupcake cakes are EVER made right, but this one has extra wrong :(
Cookie Monster has a wicked bald spot. Man he is getting old.
A partially melted M&M with a Rockette's legs. Odd. Very odd.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com)
I remember the good old days when we were misbehaving, my mother would threaten to take us to the oprhanage, not the bakery as punishment. I guess times really have changed.
Seriously, the first one really isn't THAT bad. A little odd, but not too wrekcy. The second one, well, yeah, he does look slighly derranged, doens't he?
But the rest?! Oh geez! Those, THOSE are the cakes that I come to CW for! In the last one, it appears that Cookie Monster (I think) has learned what happens when you cross Cosa Nostra
No, cookie monster is saying 'help! my head is melting!"
(maybe his hair caught on fire?)
That is genius the way they combined two candies for the one cake: an M&M body and Circus Peanut legs!
birater: Oops, someone dropped the SpongeBob SquarePants cake in the birater! Maybe nobody will notice...
Wow, I thought the hamburger cake was the worst until I saw the "M&M" (if that is what it's supposed to be!). What is with the super long legs and t-rex arm?
The Sponge Bob cake made my sides hurt.
I find the hamburger with eyes the creepiest. Yikes!
That "Spongebob" cake is so creepy. I think it is the eyes that do it. Can you imagine ANY child wanting this as their birthday cake??
My son would have nightmares!!
Should i even be surprised that the person that BOUGHT the blue cookie-moster-ish cake is serving it right in the supermarket bag it presumably came home in?? It's all about presentation people...
Oh my... those are, umm, disturbing... O_O
I really, really like that the last cake is almost off of it's cakeboard circle, is obviously damaged, is STILL in the shopping bag... AND!... AND!... it is LIT!!!!!!! OMG!!!
Who serves cake that way?!?!?!
I'm just guessing here, but the person serving that cake is probably not your wreckporter...
Either that, or they are a stressed out Momma that, in a rush to finish last minute shopping, 1/2 dropped the cake and just wants to serve the damn thing to get the stupid party over with already.
I'm very willing to accept either answer. :)
Sometimes I would SOOOO love to hear the full back-story on these gems.
That's the Cookie Monster? I thought it was the last guy Mrs M&M got hold of...
It looks like Spongebob is in a straight jacket.
the sponegbob one looks like they dropped acid while watching an episode-yikes!!
Ode To Cake Wrecks.
When I am sad and blue
I think of you.
frosting,gobs of goo.
fondant mysteries.
all them make me love you.
I am so glad you told me that red thing was an M&M. I thought it was a tomato with legs, which was creepy enough. Then I looked closer and saw the M on the hat band and couldn't think why a tomato would start with M. ("Just call me Mateo"?)
my immediate response to that sponge bob cake was that it was supposed to be a cake featuring Eugene Levy AS Sponge Bob. maybe it's the eyebrow/lashes....
I don't know which would haunt me more...the ghost-puppies or the zombieburger.
What happened to cookie monster's forehead?
Or Spongebobs face?
Wow those are pretty amazing.
@Mess Maker...
That does look like Eugene Levy as SpongeBob!
You think he'll get a call when they start casting for a SpongeBob live-action movie?
Just because you jam a cookie into a blue blob, it does NOT make it Cookie Monster!!!!
And can you believe that they are trying to sell those first cakes for $23.99!?!?! Highway wreckory!
oh lord. oh dear lord.
well, i will say this about the cookie monster cake:
anyone with a four year old knows exactly what happened to that missing icing. check the kid's teeth. bet they're blue.
also, i wouldn't be too quick to criticize the poor mama or whomever is serving that sad wreck. i doubt the 4 year old even noticed (or cared) it was still in the bag.
i'm just sayin'.

I... misread the word "clock" at first. D:
The thing to remember when looking at the red M&M guy: the red coloring for M&Ms is made from Carmine (Cochnineal). His skin is made from crushed insects.
Yum!
A) why would a hamburger have eyes?
B) why would they be bloodshot?
I think the Cookie Monster cake is a cautionary tale about cookie addiction. Sort of like those meth commercials. Not even once, kids. Spongebob looks like he's been hittin' the meth himself...
wv: colonse. I wonder what blue frosting does to them....
The SpongeBob cake may give me nightmares. That's horrible.
Always my last stop after surfing the web. You put a smile on my face every day!
"Just call me Mateo"
ROFLOL!!!
Yikes! I need therapy just looking at the photos. I can't imagine the children who received such madness.
The M&M looks like they were trying to make the seductive legs (like they show on the green girl M in the commercials) but WAY worse!
Spongebob is wacky enough on his own, much less wreckified!
And the poor cookie cake. I'd watch who you mess with for torture like that!
The real problem isn't terrifying cakes that drive children to the school counselor. The real problem is that CW doesn't have a tour stop in north Atlanta.
We're a very important city, dangit! And we have excellent bakeries!
I totally thought that M&M ccc was Meatwad from Aqua Teen.
Love the apparently high hamburger cake. Or maybe it's hungover?
I cannot decide yet, which part of the first sample is creepier. Cannibal cake's evil brother with his bloodshoted eyes or his two undead melting zombie-puppy-sidekicks. With their hollow eyes O_O
But I know for sure they are here to partyyyy!!! Like their dear friends Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Micheal Myers, this guy with the chainsaw....
My tot just said, "Ewww...it's like poop."
Scared straight for delinquent cupcakes.
OMG! Those made me laugh! So, so, SO wrong! Great post, Jen. Classic wrecks!
wv: atila
"Mommy, why are we going to the bakery?"
"Atila later, dearies..."
that last one. . . . and that sponge bob. ah!
I wish you could witness the look of utter disbelief and horror on my face right now.
What the hell is with these cakes? WHY does a hamburger have bloodshot eyes in the 1st picture? And WHY would someone pay $23.99 for that monstrosity?
Dear heavens... my inner child is freaking out.
I'm so glad that others have pointed out the lit Cookie Monster still in the bag... what kind of lameass presentation is that?!
I submitted the "Cookie Monster" and if I could have posted the dialogue, it would have been Grandpa saying "Here! Light the s*** and let's go!"
That is the actual quote, folks. So my apologies for the "presentation" or lack thereof!
Those fluffy little dogs are a near miss IMO. Their smiles are actually very sweet and their poses are cute--and from the photo, at least, it looks like the frosting fur is well done.
But the eyes AAAIEEE THE EYES.
Word verification: gynelene. The main ingredient in airbrush frosting.
OMG, that bloodshot-eyed hamburger cake (for only $23.99!!!) definitely gave me the willies!
Well, it was a toss-up between that and the deranged Sponge Bob.
WV: "decto" ~ Wreckerators may sometimes refer to their creations as 'art decto'.
Why does the Hanburger cake have BLOODSHOT eyes? Why? It shouldn't have eyes in the first place! And why do they need to be bloodshot? I can't... I can't stop staring at them...
OMFG!!!
Sponge bob looks utterly demented. The rest look like they were made by someone demented!
The hamburger cake in the first picture looks like it's geared towards stoners. The eyes have it all.
OK, at first I thought the M&M cake was supposed to be the KoolAid man.
The thing about the M&M cake - isn't the green one the female?!! Those legs on the red guy seem a little. . .. well appropriate for a wreck!
At the risk of being pedantic, I think the third one is Mr. Jelly Belly. I only thought of this because I've been to the Jelly Belly factory (yum!) in Northern California. Still wrecktastic, though!
That m&m one looks more like the KoolAid man. OH YEAH!
the last blue thing (cookie monster wanna-be; I will take your word for it)...oh g*d I cannot stop laughing.
//on another note my captcha for this post was "grade F". Even the sec check has an opinion.
Forget the CHILD psychologists...those are going to keep MY psychologist in business. AAAIIIEEEE....
Haha, oh man, the Spngebob one is soo creepily terrifying that I can't stop laughing. XD Traumatize your target audience! Surely a recipe for success.
Oh dear. Oh Dear... Oh DEAR!
I did a Spongebob once, and it was legless- which in my mind qualified it as a wreck...but after seeing this one...I think mine was PURE GENIUS! Wow. Really. Wow.
It takes a special sort of talent to make something like that - even more special to charge someone for it.
welltakethecake.com
Wow. Never seen a chef stripper M&M with cellulite before. Is that from their new fall line?
I want to see the cake that Cakeblob Queerpants is lounging up against the pedestal OF. (I know, that's a pretty disjointed sentence. Whatever.)
Maybe that unseen cake looks even WORSE than Old Olive eyes, and he looked at it, and became hypnotized--frozen in fear--like someone who'd gazed upon Medusa.
That would make SOME sense, at least, of an otherwise just plain hinky cake.
=^@@^=
OMG! This is the first time I've laughed until I cried in a really long time.
These were great!
What's with the colored spots on Spongebob's face? He looks like he has the sponge version of chicken pox.
The hamburger cake would have been cool if it didn't have eyes.
MOMMY! NOOOOOOO . . . . !!! I'll be good, I promise! Make it goooo awaaaaayyyy . . . Please . . . I'll be good, I promise!
Sorry, childhood cakewreck flashback . . .
word verify: 'tradu' A combined verb-noun, "I'll tradu one dead cookie monster cake for one stoned hamburger cake."
Ahhh! The first one on the left is pretty much Bubbles the Nerdfighting Puppy!!

Shhhhhh~~ not many people know this, but Mr. Pants has been moonlighting as a way to make a few extra bucks.
When he's not on his show, he's hanging out in a petri dish in a laboratory [name and location witheld to protect the indegent], being a "guinea-sponge", as it were, for the testing of various new and exciting viruses {Watch for some coming soon to YOUR area!}.

1. being of the class which are both indecent AND destitute (indigent)
2. a completely made-up word
On the M&M cake - my daughter asked "why does the tomato have circus peanuts for legs?" Oh my goodness those are bad.
Spongebob looks like he has rainbow chickenpox and is "Special"
Oh wow! The M & M looks like it has had a few too many.
SpongeBob - I laughed out loud at this one. Too funny!
This is my first visit here. I am loving your site. Can't wait to come back and read some more.
I think I now understand why my little guy wants me to bake him a plainish cake with a Transformer stuck on it for his upcoming birthday. Yup, he's willing to gamble on my baking abilities rather than get a wreck.
WV: misheent - I need a misheent that produces perfectly baked cakes with minimum input like a bread misheent.
That's like a cross between Spongebob and the creepy old guy on the corner with the really baggy pants and the missing teeth, who your mother wouldn't let you talk to...
Oh great ... now I'm going to have nightmares. *shudder*
Is it just me, or does the M&M look like he's hitchiking? Just me? Okay.
He'd probably have better luck getting a ride if he was showing, you know chocolate instaid of those horribly mis-shapen legs.
Those are sure some feminine-looking legs on that M&M.
Those were awesome. Scary. But awesome.
I think the M&M one is supposed to be the Jelly Belly guy.
My 3-year old loves Sponge Bob. She was next to me while I was checking this blog, and she immediately squealed and pointed at the screen. "There's Sponge Bob!" Long pause. "It's kind of a different Sponge Bob."
My thought with the cookie monster one is that he's been the victim of a zombie attack, and had the top of his head partially gnawed off.
That spongbob one totally freaks me out!!! Whenever I look at it all I can hear is insane laughing!! (Thanks for that Jenn!)
I have chills just thinking about it!!!
Those dogs are weird too.... I don't trust them...
Is the middle cake in the first pic Mayor McCheese?

The first picture- the one in the middle, the hamburgerish thing? If someone got me that one, I would die of ironic joy at the sight.
the spongebob reminded me of spengbab, which is what you get when you run spongebob through anonymous
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1WgbfyDZwA&feature=player_embedded
it doesn't get really bad until halfway thru
LMFAO! I'm not sure what I enjoy more, the wrecks or the comments! I love the Chocolate chip mafia one! I can't believe "Grandpa" said that, LMFAO, he was real excited about the birthday, huh? LOL!
I totally saw the Kool-aid Man!
You are the only blog that TRULY HONESTLY makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD every stinking day! Thanks!
I'm the only one who thinks the Cookie Monster cake has the candles inserted INTO HIS FREAKING EXPOSED BRAIN?! I thought the caption was hilarious through that lens.
Q: What do you say when people are sticking candles in your brain?
A: "Mmmphm eeeph mmife!"
Did anyone else notice that Spongebob's tie is sitting on *top* of his hands... which are suspiciously in his lap???
The SpongeBob cake...that aint right. Horrible, springs to mind. First and foremost. xx
