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.

Amen!
Religious flotsam?
Didn't you know? If you don't put a cross on a Devil's food cake, he can get in when you eat it. That's what happened to the girl in The Exorcist, but they had to cut that scene.
At least it wasn't priced $6.66.
Why would anyone buy a cake that's likely to burst into flames at any moment?
WV: clogic -- This baker's logic functions are clogged.
Thank you Elissa!
I've been avoiding devil's food cake for many years, as I feared releasing you know who. I'm going to run out and get a crucifix ASAP, so I can once again enjoy this tasty treat.
Oh my word...I can just see the looks now when I walked into Bible college with this...it reminds me of the white chocolate cross my mother bought me for Easter when I was twelve. It just didn't feel right to eat it...
Now to find an angel food cake with a pentagram.
deckardcanine had me ROFL for real. Thanks for that & off to the bakery!
I wonder if the outline of the cross is burned into the cake? This is why I normally steer clear of obviously religious references in food.
BRILLIANT!!! heheheheheheheheheheh
wish I had a camera on my cell phone because I saw a half circle cake iced with black icing to simulate a tire, and a matchbox car from CARS on top. black icing. bleck.
Ahehehehehe
And what would you drink to wash it all down...
holy water!
wv: ausnacu. After one sneezes, au-shacu!, this cake should not be offered.
I think the sprinkles really sell it, don't you?
OT, but Disney Geeks, Beyond the Rack is having a classic Disney print/poster showcase today: http://www.beyondtherack.com/event/showcase/17982 Great stuff, I just ordered the Queen of Hearts print :)
@deckardcanine - I just checked to see if the Hanukkah pentagrams in the new book are on angel food cakes. They're not. DRAT.
;)
I think the lid is just one upside down. Turn that photo around and it is perfectly logical...
Funny. Just what a cake-loving hobbyist writer loves to see on her Bday.:) An oxy"moronic" cake teehee!
wv ogeles. The birthday girl ogeles this cake and giggles profusely. ;p
@deckardcanine, check with Sandra Lee. That's probably the only permutation she hasn't covered yet.
@Jen, do you mean...? Are we talking something kinda sorta homemade? A certain dreadful curiosity arises. I gotta get that book.

You so need to share this one with the people at despair.com! Their stuff is almost as awesome as yours!
.... someone phoned it in today ... le sigh
(Un)Holy chocolate cake, Batman!
Should have used Angel food.
Just bring this to the next church gathering...
This is probably from the same grocery store that advertised ham for Passover. Siiiiiiigh. And the Wreckorator probably did not get the joke at all.

deckardcanine wins the interwebs!!
craig needs to go sit in the corner for summoning the S.L. when we already have the Devil in attendance. LOL
my wv is nansati which is an anagram for In Satan! cue Twilight Zone theme! (no, no, not the one with Edward)
-Barbara Anne
Lol!! I am guessing that wreckerator either didn't want their job anymore or they feel sprinkles are unholy and needed that crucifix to make sure they didn't fly off and blind helpless customers. My..but that cake does look yummy lol.
At first I huh'ed? But then I loled.
i face/palmed and lol'd when i saw it so my 16 month old daughter copied the face/palm and lol'd causing more lol's between the both of us
For only $7.99 you can bring laughs and/or theological debate to your next church dinner.
This guy at work makes a chocolate nativity scene every year. He puts it out for people to eat but they're mostly afraid to. Also the chocolate's just oK. (I ate a lamb, didn't want to seriously offend anyone by going after the main characters.)
