Made a big mistake?
"Wow. Where'd the cake go? I can't even see it!!"
So remember, bakers, when you use Ice•Out:
Thanks to Jessie, Never2sad, Johanna M., Michelle, Erin M., Katie C and Vanessa S., who all prefer their Ice*Out in pink high gloss.
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.

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.

You two are endlessly clever.
OMG! Sprink-o-flage should totally be a real product!! LOL!!!
When you write "infomercial" posts, I find myself grateful that I work from home...and that no one is home with me...except my dog, but he already knows I'm crazy.
I don't think others would appreciate how hilarious I find it to read posts like this one, out loud (quite loud), in my best infomercial impression.
I would have sworn it said "Elibatch"!
Finally, a product for wreckers everywhere!
(I agree with AmandaMac...I thought it said Elibatch. Which still doesn't make it OK.)
You could sell it and people would buy it. That's the scary part.
My wv is cater. Yes, yes it is.
This really need a video with the announcer that does the snuggie commercials, a blonde housewife shaking her head in frustration while holding up a spatula and that sparkle noise that floats across the screen showing me the amazing effects of the product.
I must be tired. I had to look at it several times to realize that Elibateh was not the correct spelling.
Love the Cars cake!
Having to "adjust" names and what-not a couple times it can be hard but come on, scrape the whole name off and touch it up. It's not hard and it looks better than sprinkles or huge black spots....
I'm guessing the really obvious cover up ones are from orders that never got picked up or were cancelled. Doesn't make it any less ridiculous.
Oh, I could see this as a commercial with the Sham-Wow guy... and hey, order now because he can't be talkin about this all day...
I agree with mimiheart, wreckorators will buy these. They'll be flying off the shelves.
I need some Ice-out for life. "Take back that stupid thing you said with ICE-OUT"
I want Sprink-o-flage. I'm getting ready for decorating Christmas cookies and I KNOW I'll need Sprink-o-flage.
WV redlys "Here is your cake-- redlys or not."
love it!!!!!!!!!!! pretty sure that you could sell this (but it's a shame that billy mays is dead because he'd make a great salesman for this lol)
wv is slato.... i can imagine it on a cake made by a wreckerator who was making a cake for someone who had a criminal or driving record removed that was maybe suppose to say "congratulations on your clean slate" but instead they wrote "congradulation on youre cleen slato" bahahahahaha!!!!
nevermind.... i'm a little loopy right now....
Bakingdom, I'm with ya, and I don't even SEE infomercials to know how they sound.
You should offer this idea to the Sandra Lee lady from yesterday, Jen. *snort*
I'd like to order three Sprink-o-flage, please -- for the next time my son orders a bakery cake.
I'm still trying to see the brown globs close up, as if swirls of writing tube icing on top of the blobs should make it all better. Who tries to sell these things?
Better yet, WHO in their right mind BUYS them?? ROFL
~~Di
wv - extro -- I want the piece of cake with the extro blobbed icing where the name should be!!
I love your blog and have been reading for a couple years now. I always laugh out loud while reading. But today... I was crying because I was laughing so hard. Thanks so much for sharing your hilariosity with us! :)
Ha ha ha ha!!!
I feel so bad...I missed Elibateh's elebentieth brithdeh bai six hole yiers.
Seriously - as a former secretary (NOT an "Administrative Assistant"), I truly appreciate this. Great job; no correction needed!
wv: dessnes. Caution: Overuse of Ice out and Sprink-o-flage may cause dessnes. Do not taunt Sprink-o-flage...
Want want want!!!! Where so I order!?!?!?!?!
hee hee
These cakes actually make me angry.
I must be PMSing today because those cakes make me want to fight dance someone
widogmom, I'm still laughing at your comment!
The fourth cake, though, doesn't have a frosted-out mistake on it. Clearly it's a cake featuring the Tasmanian Devil in "whirling dervish" mode! See all the colorful paper streamers he's kicking up in his wake?
I dunno, that orange swirly tornado ice-out looks like a croissant to me. What, you don't celebrate National Laminated Pastry Dough Day?
I was very happy with my cake.
I can't imagine how it ended up here!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a giant croissant cake until now.
The third cake originally said, "Happy F****** Birthday, A******!" (substituting the family-friendly asterisks I've used with words usually not found on cakes.) Hence the "ice-out".
It's a theory.
Heh. I have a friend I call "JessIE" (pronouncing the I and the E). I would totally get her that first cake. xD
I can't stop laughing! That's the funniest thing I've seen all week! I need to get out more...
Oh, you forgot ...
Order within the NEXT HOUR and receive TWO Sprink-o-flages for the SAME LOW PRICE. Say the magic words, "As You Wish" and not only will you receive TWO Sprink-o-flages but you will ALSO receive FREE GIFTS of a FONIX DIKSHUNARY, a tub of rainbow SPRINKLES, and COLOR ME BLIND color-mixer wheel. All of the same LOW, LOW Price. ACT NOW. (S&H $7.95 with $5.95 additional for the free gifts)
Okay, seriously, I love sugar in all its forms, be it icing, sprinkles, straight spoonfuls of sugar, a combination of those, all three, Coke, whatever...
but that smear-i-ness makes me yes, me! feel icky and want to brush my teeth.
Wouldn't a scraper have worked better or something?
Blech.
@Elibateh: Your comment made me cry laughing at work!!! Love it!
Does that last cake say "Dorina Lupus"?
that last one looks a lot like the results of my "fixing" a grocery store cake that fell out of the car. who knew i could have gotten paid for that?!
Wouldn't that be "doozies" (not doosies)? Just sayin! :o) I think the CW folks need some good-natured ribbing when they misspell words in their posts.
you guys have been en fuego this week!!!!
I really like this post. Too Funny!
"For life's big screw-ups". Does that mean it works on teenagers?
WV: spermo. I'm not even gonna go there...
"Why shout, when you can remove it with Ice-Out?"
No decorating disaster too big for this edible eraser.
Comes in two flavors: Correcting Chocolate and Vanishing Vanilla.

I am not sure if you read all of your comments but I was reading another of my regular blogs & thought that this might interest you. Yes, it's completly about cake. Yes, it is a wreck that you may even want to post (if you're having a slow day, that is. Thank Single Dad Laughing for this interesting wreck of a story!

That Jess ie cake is funny (and the others that follow). Reminds me of when my wife made a cake for a friend of ours and really, really misspelled his name. Oops - no "Ice & Easy" back then.

I rather like the orange tornado.
there are some bakers who need that
on #6- are those 2 fingers pointing at the mistake?? wtf was that cake SUPPOSED to be?!?
(I read your infomercials aloud to myself, too.)
-Barbara Anne
Lol I have never laughed so hard in my life. And I always seem to read these late at night. I can only hope my neighbors dont think I am a hyena and come looking lol. Hilarious post!
'Elibateh' reminds me of Bill Cosby's 'dentist' story.
Could writing with icing be so taxing to the capabilities of wreckerators that spell-checking in real time is out of the question?
I could see Sandra Lee being a major customer of Ice Out, except that she sees nothing wrong with the stuff she 'makes'.
"You know, Sandra, you can tint it to match your decor. And you can add stuff to it, like vanilla. Of course, if you don't have vanilla, just use turpentine -- your vict... er, 'guests' will never know the difference, proles that they are."
Take back that stupid thing you said with ICE-OUT
"Ice-Out". Best. Nonexistent. Informercial. Product. EVAR!!!
Funny, how I'm conditioned to read this whole page in an infomercial voice LOL
Who else think it looks like censored swearing? "Happy **** birthday, ************!"
The bakery I use to frequent would take the special order cakes that people didn't pick up and sell them by the slice. If a piece said "hday Elizab" that was fine with me. The slices with roses were especially coveted. They made more money selling them by the slice than the whole cake cost. Certainly more than a cake smeared with ICE-OUT.
Hilarious post as always, but the "Elibateh" cake had me concerned that someone with dyslexia is making a living out there decorating cakes. Surely someone out there who has no learning disability and has decent penmanship yet has trouble landing a job in these tough times should be applying for a cake decorating position!!!
mmm, Martinelli's.
I just saw a laptop on epic-win and I have a feeling you'll love it - what with your affection for all things steam punk!

The first cake is actually really gorgeous, except for that mistake.
word verification: trogulas. Sounds like something that you would need Ice Out to cover up. It also sounds like the name of a character in the failed movie that my friend and I once tried to make, but that's unrelated...
I love the sparkling cider next to the one giant cookie. 'Cause nothing goes better with an oversized cookie.
Dorina's cake looks like it was pretty before they applied Sparkle Spackle over whatever was there before.
@Classic Steve: I had the same exact thought when I saw that cake... "Happy F***ing Birthday, A**h*le" ... Like maybe from a wife to her philandering husband. LOL!

WV: stifigod ... what the cheating husband's girlfriends call him.
