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.

This deserves a triple X rating.
But I'll have a big ol' slice of that spout anyway, please. I do love me some spout.
Uh . . . , words fail me. One lump or two . . . {{snicker}}
ha ha ha Instant classic!
O.M.G. Now granted, I've been a bit shall we say, 'deprived' of late, but still... this actually made it into the display case?!?!?!
WV: gisheigi - the gutteral sound I made in my astonishment upon first viewing this wreck...
"Attention bakery department, please have the cake decorator pick up line two, Dr. Freud is on hold."
Oh please tell me there isn't cream cheese filling! Egads!
(word verification exctish: as in is this cake suppose to exctish me?)
Oh No!
Ummmm... wow! That's quite a "spout"! ~ Jennie
They needed to reconsider the color change on their 'spout', matching the handle decor might have been safer!
I do NOT want to see that thing "get all steamed up"...
It lookes like a dogs head! Tilted to the side, with pink ears and a rose insted of an eye. And a gap instead of a nose so they didn't have to make yet another colour of icing. Pink, green and white should go a long way when making dog head CCC!
Hmmm. Are you sure you want to drink that? lol
You know, just once, I would love to see someone actually order a cake that looked like a phallus and see what the wreckerators came up with. If they can turn butterflies, tea pots, balloons, etc. into members, what could they turn a member into?
Is your teapot's spout too small? Click here!
ya know what... after looking at the spout, blinking a few times in shock... and re-looking at the cake, I've deceided the handle hole also gives me the heebie-jeebies
Dibs on the "spout"
Ewwwwwwwww!!! A little exhibtionistic pervert teapot!! And I just wanted to cook some tea.
Perfect for a little girl's first tea party!
Eeeeeew.
And of course it had to be pink.
I'm pretty sure that was unintentional, but still... yikes.
Now, off to find something to scour my brain...
Well, hello! :D
Oh, dear. That's got a bit of the phallic to it. The ladies who lunch will be appalled.
Why does chamomille sound dirty now?
That is just bad!! How do these cakes actually make it out of the bakery?
Freud would have a field day.
(and btw the one lump or two comment was just too much! I just ate breakfast. ew)
This was probably the birthday cake that started Amber along her merry way.
I love this site so much. Thanks for keeping up the postings and updates even while on the road. Talk about your wreck stars!
--kate
The real crime wasn't the error of how it came out, but actually putting it on the display case! What person didn't SEE this??
Hahahahahahahaha! This is my new favorite wreck of all time!
Love it!
I am still sitting here with my mouth agape.

...and now you know how Lorena Bobbit got started.
:-O
I'm just going to say it looks like an elephant trunk... yeah... that's it
I'm a little "pee" pot, perhaps?
Really, some people must do this type of thing on purpose - who can't see this? Even so, this would have been a wreck even if the spout wasn't so phallic!
wv: defecace - a descriptive word for some of the c*** we see in bakery cases.
Veggie T, I'm with you...can any other disney freaks see Dumbo in his clown get up here? Or is it just me?
I think Freud would have a field day with me...
I never realized a little teapot could look as if it had caught an std... I mean it don't look right on SOOOOO many levels.
Paging Dr. Freud... Paging Dr. Freud... stat!
When I clicked on the related posts link, I expected it'd be this one: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/05/this-made-me-laugh-til-i-cried.html
But the linked one was good too. :-D
I know you were this was on your mind...

Nothin' like a good piece of spout!
Thank you - I needed a good cleansing laugh this morning after oversleeping a criminally long time. *SO* looking forward to you coming to Bethesda!!
Oh MY! What a big..."spout" you have!
Woo-hoo...hope they serve sake with that teapot!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Word Verification (SCORE!!):
maturrec: "Warning: the following teapot is intended only for maturrec". That is, "Mature Recreation".
my husband's reaction: "What's that, a teapot?" "Yeah." "No, I think it's more of a pee-pot."
is that rose a crypt orchid?
("retained testicle")
I'll take two nuts with that spout.
And tell Loraina that her Cake is ready!
What makes me more sad is that it's rather pretty otherwise, then you get SHEMALE!
"Tea?"
"yes, please!"
"One hump or two?"
"Oh my!!!"
LOL!!!!
Wendy
Oh, Lord. You just know that cake was meant for somebody's granny.
Oh my goodness gracious...LOL!
you shoulda warned us about the adult content in this one :-)
Nice spout by the way...
We should totes hook this guy up with Mrs (Angela Lansbury) Potts from Beauty and the Beast.
Whoa... dirty cake alert! And the worst part is that is was probably for a bunch of little girld fancy tea party. Oy.
This is amazing.
To paraphrase Mae West: Is that a teapot yer holding, or are ya just glad to see me?
Nothing like a good laugh first thing in the morning. That is hilarious.
OMG....did it have to be PINK?
Wow! "Pour some sugar on me.."
Amy B.
all the ladies go crazy for my sugar lumps
It COULD be a flower-loving elephant if you tip your head and squint just right. :P
Actually.....if you look at the whole thing long enough....it looks like a cute pink and white elephant's head...with the obviously pre-fab rose being the eye.
Looks like Jenna Jameson got herself a day job.
Bwow chika bow wow...
heh heh heh....
Is that a spout in your pot or are you just happy to see me?
I dunno... looks like the "spout" is suffering some shrinkage. Must be iced tea in that pot!!
Oh a side note, I just bought your book and read it and laughed so hard that I cried. Thank you, oh thank you for such a wonderful contribution to the world of the written word!
WV: doweep. "When you see this cake, you doweep".
ROFL that's classic!
oh my. (i'm a little pee pot...*snicker*)
oh thats a gem!
Someone needs to submit this to failblog too! Oh my!
Jen, Just got my copy of the CakeWrecks book in the mail today! I immediately sat down and devoured it. Awesome job!
Nice FotC reference... can't have a pot of tea without sugar lumps.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... HA!
Amazing. The comments are just as great.
At least it's a HAPPY ,little spout!
I want to meet the person who thought they could make a teapot out of cupcakes. That kind of thinking takes cojones....which may explain why the thing looks the way it does.
WUT.
Well blow me down.
... "when i get all steamed up, hear me shout. tip me over and pour. me. out."
*sigh* if only it were that easy. ;-)
i do believe this little teapot should be in your next book!
gearing up for AUSTIN tomorrow! can't wait to meet y'all! i'll be the blonde with a texas drawl. ;-)
I always prefer those spouts that are bigger than a baby's arm ;)
ROFL Double AA -- "Handle hole" is what we're calling it these days?
the spout was so ...stunning that i didn't even notice it was a CCC til reading the comments!
WV: watol = watol you have with your pee -- i mean tea?
It looks like the decorator was aiming for delicate and feminine... and missed. By far. At least it was a shocking pink and not the lovely fleshy pink we saw on the fire hose cake. *shudder*
Oooh, this one would've gone great with the CCC bra and panties photos I submitted this summer! Too funny!!!
I knew I liked tea for a reason!
That certainly does not look like a spout.
I've never scene a cirmcumcised tea pot before!
I just got your book, Jen. It made my day!!!
Um...the flowers are pretty.
When I'm horrified by cakes on this site, I think about how delicious they must be because that would be the only excuse for selling such monstrosities.
Have you ever done a post about what people can do if a bakery severely messes up a cake (putting the wrong inscription, etc?). Do they have to make it right?
It seems the guy that drew the phallus on the "little Mermaid" movie poster got fired from Disney and decided to follow his dream to become a cake Wreckorator.
Wow, is that a cake you're eating or are you just happy to see me XD
You know what really gets me? That's actually a pretty decent buttercream rose in the middle. Why on earth is someone who can actually do some decent decoration making such a hideous mess of a cake?
No. No freaking way...
hahahahah! I do believe that is a XXX CCC?
Um.. that's about all I can say!
Oh, give me this cake! Give it to me! yeah!
Today is my 40th birthday and now, my simple DQ ice cream cake somehow feels... inadequate.
I have cake envy!
Teabag, anyone?
I dont know if i am allowed to say the word that comes to mind when I see that Uh "spout"... oh yeah its a tea pot. Hehehe!
I wonder what the flavor is. At least you wont have to add your own cream to this tea.
I just found your blog...I heard about your new book on PW. I could not stop laughing when I saw this one! Instant pick me up!
At least it's not steaming.
I wonder if it has cream filling...
OMG, I haven't laughed that loud at a wreck in some time. Them wreckerators still got it!
Ptui!!!
wv: gated
I would have preferred the expur-gated version.
tip me over baby!!!!
Ohhhhh, that's not right.
Well, it's okay if it's short, as long as it's stout.
Hey, just a quick request. If you have an "adult rated" cake would you mind putting some sort of note at the top? My kids love to look at the cake wrecks and I'd hate to have to explain this to them! :) (Yes, I usually preview it, but sometimes they look over my shoulder.)
That is horrible!!! Wouldn't the decorator see what it looks like and scrap it or at least change the color!?
wow thats worse than i thought any cake could ever be.... lol
this is the worst cake i've ever seen.
check out my guilty pleasure http://www.fatkidsfalling.com
I like to drink my tea directly from the spout.
I'll take spout any way I can get it...just not 3 inch spout...
omg
My husband and children (ages 8 and 9) just looked at the cake. I asked them what they saw . . . all three of them said, "It's a teapot." My children wanted to know what was wrong with it . . . I said, "nothing." My husband looked at me and asked, "Is there SUPPOSED to be something wrong with it?" I asked him if he saw anything else. He said, "Nooooooo . . . " I said, "It's pink. The spout." His eyes widened, "OI YO! OI NO!" My kids asked, "What? What is it?" We both replied in unison, "It's a teapot!"
Instant CakeWrecks Hall-of-Fame!
WV: layotte - I had to layotte floor I was laughing so hard
MC from NZ
Um... and somebody's going to have to cut off Mr Happy in the process of eating that cake.
I'm never going to look at that rhyme the same way again.
"Twirly McSwirl said...
Well, it's okay if it's short, as long as it's stout."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bwahahahaha! That is a very good outlook!
It's not the size of the spout; it's the steam in the kettle!
Holy moly! That had to be intentional. So funny!
Omg, this made me laugh out loud! As a psychologist I think this site is better than Roscharch.
And to John: Good recovery!!
All it's missing is some "tea" drips. Ha!!!
There is NO WAY this was not done on purpose.
I'll have what she's having... :)
Good Lord! I roared with laughter at this, prompting my 6 year old daughter to say "what's the matter mummy?" Boy am I glad she thought it looks like a teapot and she doesn't have my tawdry mind!
Greetings from England.
Nice. I wonder if they took a good look at that before they put it out?
the best is still that space shuttle...
Sometimes a teapot is just a teapot.
And somewhere in Arkham Asylum, Jervis Tetch is crying his eyes out...
hehe "Be Our Guest" has been stuck in my head for a couple days now and the line about "one lump or two" just made me giggle.
Uh... the captcha on this page is "herpape"... I am speechless...
