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.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 203 of 203 Newer› Newest»Nah, they went with the SyFy channel to justify their programming.
On the cake- I have to admit to buying the DS9 model and putting battle damage on it and hanging micromachine TIE fighters around it. (And believe it or not, the scale was right) but I am a crossover fanfic junkie :D
Even so, it could have been done in a way to make it obviously intentional if it was intentional rather than just. . . not.
Seeing that cake has caused me to die a little inside.
By all that is Sci-Fi! Don't any of these bakers have the old Star Wars cake tins? My first 9 birthdays were either R2-D2, Darth Vader or C3PO made right from the tins with appropriate colored icing.
