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.

That is awesome!! Too funny!
Ha! That's hysterical!
That is hilarious!
way funny! where does this stuff come from?!
Love it!
Okay, #1 - you are awesome. #2 - Kanye is a D!(K.
That is so hilarious! I laughed out loud :-)
LOL!
You can take a quiz on facebook called "When will Kanye interrupt you?!"
What a riot!!!
Ha Ha!
-Michelle
Hee Hee...that is really funny! Love it.
Whoever made this is very witty! I laughed too!
Now I want to see THAT on a cake.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
*ahem*
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
LOL!
LOVE IT!
it's too soon. ;-)
(heeheehee)
Mark my words, "Kanye Interrupts" is on it's way to Rick Roll status.
That is TEH AWESUM.
WV: aquebacc "Perhaps Kanye would be less of a buttmunch if he didn't smoke so much of the aquebacc-y."
Ummm, yeeeaahh, he isn't going to live that one down for a looooonnnggg time.
Just what he needs - more publicity. When will people realize how this all works?
hahaha! YES!
Hmm, Do I want to know?
Jen! I cannot seem to email you, so I wanted to post here in case you see this. Do you watch Glee? There was an AWESOME cake wreck on it this week. They gave a guy who had cut off his two thumbs a cake with "two thumbs up!" Soooo wreckalicious!!!
Love the site. Love the wreckage. Love that it makes me pee in my pants with laughter!
I hate that Kanye got all the publicity when Beyonce had all the class. And this is freaking hilarious!
Jacqueline-saw Glee and that cake wreck and I thought of this site. lol
Anyway....the Kanye interrupting is hilarious.
Rashelle
This is one of the best things I've ever seen...ever.
lol ..hilarious..
*snicker*
This is so tacky, but I'm gonna share anyway...I got a text yesterday that said,
'Today Kanye West interuppted the funeral of Patrick Swayze to announce that Michael Jackson's death was better!'
Horrible, but too stinkin funny!
Jen
You win the internets!
Funniest. Non-cake. Joke. EVAR!
He deserves whatever he gets!
Funny! I like this one: http://kanyegate.tumblr.com/
*snort!* :D
Hilarious!! I've shared that site with several friends now, and everyone gets a big laugh out of it. :)
Yeah.....I'm SO gonna pull up my hubby's favorite website with this on it before he comes home for lunch today!
What? Alix, Kanye Hater, didn't comment on this yet?? woah.
ROFL I'm waiting for the cake version.
I defended Kanye the last time he came up, but he's reached a level of jerkery that even I can't THIS IS A GOOD COMMENT, IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT BEYONCE LEFT ONE OF THE BEST COMMENTS OF ALL TIME
OMFG HILARIOUS!!
I sense an internet meme being born... o:
Jen, thank you! I was trying to remember where I'd seen that quote.
That is awesome! I am going to have some fun with that one!!
hahaha!
I got this at school in the computer lab. My teacher was looking at me funny.
To funny!
Jen - now you need to stab Kanye through the heart with a carrot jockey, or bludgeon him to death with a CCC or foot cake... Taylor Swift should have beaten him to death with her spaceman statue...
