Greetings all,
While I’m not a fan of blog posts which don’t relate or use the images of the blog owner, I’m going to make an exception here. Ever since my friend Lisa from Canberra’s Got Style blog put me onto Regretsy, which I think is the funniest name for a blog ever - if you haven’t ever visited, go immediately, all the things on etsy which are . . . regretful. Anyway, when I heard about this Cake Wrecks blog, I knew I’d love it.
As a bit of a try hard & fail cake icing disaster myself, I can laugh out loud at these efforts as most Cake Wrecks are by professional cake decorators aka “Wreckorators”. Wreckporters email in images of sad sad cakes they have witnessed, ordered or had the misfortune of tasting – from spelling mistakes, writing word for word instructions on the order & those which are just plain wrong with a capital R. They even have a book with my favourite of all Cake Wrecks on the cover - decorating with this winner . . . "Best Wishes Suzanne, under neath that, We Will Miss You". Imagine a Woman’s Weekly "How NOT to Decorate Children’s Cakes"!!
The blog post images go something like this . . . with their whitty & hilarious captions . . .

I've had a bandaid in a shop bought cake before, but scissors?? Poison challis from this bakery perhaps??
Tell me, was your wedding cake cute, fun & quirky or slasher??
Did you watch the Supper Bowl or the Super Bowel??
On Sundays there is some light relief with beautiful, amazing, stunning, award winning cakes . . .
. . . which make up for entries like this, shudder!!
How is it that so many icing efforts end up looking like a penis or poo - instead of, you know, a first birthday cake for a sweet baby in the shape of a number one??!! Now quick, deep breaths & get over to Bakerella for some more beautiful, amazing & inspirational decorating ideas on cookies to cakes!! Awesome Julie from Handmade Market put me onto Bakerella, love her. Enjoy, love Posie
That clown riding a dog poop - I swear to God - what were they THINKING! I have wet myself.
ReplyDeletePlease no one over look the "Happy 8th Birthday Mum" cake. My children thought that was so so funny. The caption on the Cake Wrecks' blog said "she doesn't look a day over 7" which my 8 year old twins loved so so much. Love Posie
ReplyDeleteoh dear! don't we all need a laugh on a saturday night when we should be sewing but are waiting for everyone to go to bed! hilarious!

So so funny ! I'm from a big family and we all put in to have a pen engraved for my Mum . It was to have the names from the 3rd eldest down to the youngest child . When we picked up the pen engraved on it was "to Mum love from Helen Down " Yes we still call my sister Helen Down , lol !
ReplyDeleteOMG! They are just too funny....
ReplyDeleteI do regret the clown riding the poo cake image, still makes my stomach churn when i see it. Thanks for the comments, now i know i'm not laughing on my own when i visit Cake Wrecks!! Love Posie
