professional cakes - cakes wrecks

Sometimes we look so hard for Wrecks we fail to see the forest for the trees, as it were. After all, it doesn't take crazy sculpted nonsense or illiterate scrawlings to make a Wreck; sometimes all you need is a healthy dose of what I like to call "the fugly":For a baby shower, no...

Ok, all you guys who kept insisting the Popped-Eyes Sailor Blobs were actually Bob from Monsters-VS-Aliens, listen up.Bob is blue.Bob has one eye.Bob...Well, he looks like this:"Yo homies! I'm bringing blobby back!"This is the "official" Bob cake, made by Sugar Butter Flour and served...

NOTE: this post contains material somewhat "adult" in nature. I recently saw on Neatorama that "Tough Times are Good for Vasectomies". Apparently the current economic rough patch has more and more folks turning to the "cheapest form of permanent birth control".So in addition to an...

Look, I don't want to come across as some non-happening, behind-the-times, totally square fuss pot*, but...Wassup with all the undead wedding cakes?Creepy-crawly bugs and tongue-kissing skeletons, oh my!You'd think you'd only see something like this for a Halloween wedding - if ever...

I think I've let the Star Wars fervor sparked by the awesomeness that was the Vader Baby Shower cake and Yoda's Stint in Cake Decorating die down long enough. Now it's time to visit the other side of the spectrum, where we will delve into the true mysteries of the galaxy, and ask...

It's your birthday! Have a ball!No, seriously. Have a ball:"Look at all the extra care the baker took in crafting this lovely...round...spherical...ball-like thing for your birthday! That random capitalization and uncrossed 't' really add to the post-modernistic feel, too, don't...

It's becoming as "classic" (ie cliche) as the red-velvet armadillo cake, and yet guys still want dead Bambi for their groom's cake. Go fig.Yeah, yeah, guys, I get it: you want your cake to show some personality, reflect your interests, and ideally gross-out the in-laws. But really,...

Buttercream icing, that is.Yep, here's another fondant-free installment for you purists out there. I've got nothing against fondant per se, but I do agree that all-icing decorations are much yummier. Besides, it's nice to see what cake artists can come up with when they're limited...

I know, I know: it's been forever since I posted a new shirt design. And obviously you all are just wasting away from a lack of proper Wreckwear selection. Sorry. I've been writing Cake Wrecks the book, and with a mid-April deadline it's all I can do to keep the daily posts coming...

My issues with baby shower cakes are well-documented. And while I don't plan to have kids myself, I know that the whole if/when/how many thing on the kid-front is a huge, life-changing decision.So on behalf of myself and childless women everywhere, I'd just like to say the following.Attention...

Ho ho, heehee, haha, they're coming to take me away!!!I'm not sure what these things are supposed to be, but they've been popping up at bakeries all across the U.S. lately. Could the carrot jockeys have some competition on their hands?"Soon, your race of sugar-craving giant sloths...

I make no bones about my bid for Wrecky World Domination, and I think you'll all agree that Cake Wrecks is an excellent model for government. [insert joke about Wrecky administrations here]Anyway, I can tell my evil plan is working, in part, by the number of Carrot Jockeys successfully...
