Step 1: Order a cake with colors that rival Andy Warhol's paint palette, and have lots of beer on hand to wash it down.(Ah, nice choice. Are you sure you have enough beer, though?)Step 2: Consume. The dyes will stain every and anything they come in contact with, including clothing,...

Remember how we all loved the game "Telephone" in kindergarten? Well, add in a cake, and the fun never stops!This order was for a "black high heel":(It's a hill, people. Get it?)Specifying punctuation is always tricky:Although I suppose if Aunt flashed Mom that would liven up the...

Check out what they're selling over in merry ol' Ireland:And here I thought Ireland was just a country of rainbows, shamrocks, and lilting-voiced innocents frolicking through the fields. You know, because like every good American I make it a point to base all of my stereotypes on...

Hey, y'all! I recently did an interview with Sasha and Rick over at cakelava. Want to know the real definition of a "Wreck"? Where the idea for the blog came from? How many times a week I STILL get the Wal-Mart cake e-mailed to me? Then click here!Be sure to check back tomorrow, too, for the second half of the intervi...

"Alright, class, settle down. It's time to go over last week's pop quiz on inscription spacing, and I'm going to tell you all right now: I am not impressed. Laura? Are you here? Ah, there you are. Laura, would you be so kind as to tell the class just WHAT you were thinking when you...

And apparently you all want "cakes" with more sole.Honestly, I've been e-mailed this so often I'm getting a haddock, and I'm starting to think there's something fishy going on here. Did the cake's non-baker shellfishly do this on porpoise? I'm not hard of herring, you know; I just...

Here we have a cake so testosterone-charged that I bet any female within a ten foot radius will spontaneously sprout a beard and crave flannel. No tinker-toy plastic deer or tractors for Robert - hoo no; this is a guy who eats danger for breakfas... er, I mean dessert. No sissy...

As you all know, some Wrecks are only Wrecks because of what the customer ordered to be written on them.These are those Wrecks.Harsh reality, sweet messenger.Submitter Dan titled it best: "Cake for a Cheerful Nihilist".Looking on the bright side?Hey, this one seems familiar...Feelin'...

Today's post has been lovingly ripped off from Wrecks reader Greg H. Greg sent me an e-mail with the following photos and commentary, and has already been duly warned of the impending plagiary (though I will admit to some minor editing). Enjoy!"Welcome to Magical Cake Magic! Allow...

"I don't get it - we just brought out the cakes, and poof! Mass hysteria!"I'm not sure which is worse: Dead "Lips" the Clown or Homicidal Horned Boo-Boo here. On the plus side, I'm guessing any parent who serves these will never have to buy circus tickets for the kiddies ever again....

Sure, they're rich, famous, and always get to fly first-class. But guess what? They get Wrecks, too.These "olives" (in honor of Kristin's character Olive on Pushing Daisies) aren't too bad, but the bakery decided to make a nicely symmetrical pair instead of the single olive requested....

Ladies and gentlemen of the cake community, I come to you today with a matter of grave concern to us all.Allow me to present exhibit A:These seemingly innocent "cakes" are instead a threat to all the sugary goodness we hold dear. Observe:Once sliced, you will note that these "cakes"...

The store selling these cakes (oh yes, there are more!) claims that they are watermelons.Riiiight.As you can see from this other example, the "slice" appears to have drifted southward over time, resulting in the truly unfortunate and rather alarming spectacle you see here. In fact,...

Would you believe someone's boss actually brought this into the office? (Or should I say, "The Office"? It certainly looks like something Michael would order for an office party, doesn't it?)I love that someone - either the customer or the decorator - felt that "sexual harassment"...

"Teach them well and LET them lead the way,Show them all the [juvenile delinquency] they possess insiiiiide…"Because every four-year-old is searching for a hero, that’s why. And if that hero can bus’ a cap with his 9 mil (check the photo), so much the better.Play on, Lil’ Derrick:...

Such skill.Such dignity.Such...parentheses?And quotation marks - can't forget the quotation marks:(Three guesses what the customer asked for on the cake!)Julie S., this one most definitely deserves a gold med...

Proving that the lightning of horrendous taste does indeed strike more than once, here are some designs that may look a wee bit familiar:Remember this?Here's another bride who thought an edible version of herself was a smashing idea:We can only hope that the baker wasn't finished...
