Plane Crashed Into Cow

Cake, death, or carrot riding baby jockeys?

Have you come across any cake wrecks that make you suspect they were deliberate? Maybe the baker was a little disgruntled or trying to be some kind of smarty-pants?

What was the first cake wreck you remember? Was that enough for you to start the site?

What is the most disgusting cake you have come across?

Jen, it's easy to assume from looking at these cakes that a lot of them come from places like WalMart and grocery store bakeries, where the decorators don't have a lot of training or motivation to strive for quality. How many cake wrecks come from this type of source, and how many come from true bakeries (where they really ought to know better)?

Do you ever not post a cake as a wreck because you think the attempt was so creative, and you don't want to bash it?

Jen, What is the airspeed velocity of an African Swallow carrying a Cake Wreck?

Oh, and do coconuts migrate? ;)

Jen, have you ever personally ordered a cake and received a Wreck from a bakery?

Why are there two entirely different "under neat that" cakes shown in this article?

I read once about you making a baker cry and you ended up apologizing (which I think is classy). Do you ever receive angry or threatening emails/phone calls/letters from people for being featured on your blog?

I'd imagine that there is a fair degree of information being not understood on the part of the designer of the cake with some of these confection atrocities on your site, but how much miscommunication do you think is also attributed to the costumer ordering the cake?

I just noticed that every comment in here was a question.

How does that make you feel?

Do you know any of these cake wrecks personally? Other than my name spelled incorrect I've never seen a cake wreck.

Have there been any cakes that were so inappropriate, you couldn't have in the book?

Can anything EVER top naked baby carrot jockeys?

Hi Jen, what did your cubicle smell like?

How about Wedding Cakes?? Have you ever run across a wedding cake, mabey one of those huge ones, that was a true mess up? Mabey another woman's name or something?

Jen, how much do you hate questions about "the epcot center"? Does this mean you hate mine?

Do you have a fantasy wreck? One composed of anything and everything that pushes your buttons? Something that hasn't yet happened but you kind of WANT it to happen? (: ( This question made much more sense in my head. :| )

I read on your site that you had taken cake decorating classes with your husband. I wondered if you ever posted one of your cakes as a wreck? I love your site and visit it daily. Between the cakes and your sense of humor it's a match made in heaven!

What is the worst cake wreak done intentionally?

As much as I like the decoration (or laughing at the wrecky decoration) of a cake, I'm always much more concerned about how it tastes. LOL What is your favorite cake flavor combination?

We see the funny and "so horrible they are hilarious" cakes but have you ever seen one that made you scream, cry, or adopt the fetal position in the corner of the room?

Have any of the cakewrecks been a cake flavor wreck? (The cake on the outside was a wreck as well as tasting a wreck?)

Jen - What's the best advice you can give to a blogger that's just started a blog that partially depends on reader submissions? Any tips for spreading the word about the site to increse submissions?
Thanks! Love your site!!

What did YOUR wedding cake look like? Here's hoping it wasn't a wreck!

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
And what's your favorite husband-of-Jen-posted-this wreckport on Cake Wrecks? Obviously you are the Queen and therefore the best, but he's done some pretty awesome stuff in his own right, yes?

I've been following Cake Wrecks for a long time, and this is something I've always wondered about: Which wreck have you gotten the most repeat submissions of?

Dear Jen,

Do you ever think about the fact that there is a chance inspired people who would have, otherwise, not thought twice about decorating a cake to do just that?

Speaking for myself, seeing professional bakers awkwardly stumble through certain cake requests gives me the confidence that hey, I could do no worse! I might could even do better!

Hypothetically, one of your followers could challenge themselves and then become cake bakers and decorators themselves. Like, good ones, too!

Do you ever imagine that they'll be a message from someone one day saying, "Hey, I've followed you for quite a while now. I was amused, horrified, disgusted, and satiated by your blog. I thought you'd like to know that I recently opened my own decorating business. It's going really well. Thanks for inspiring me,"?

You make the one definite smile of the day. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Green

Why am I sucked into cakewrecks? I read it every day. Why???????

Have you ever experienced a cake wreck where no-one was injured?

While the wrecks themselves are generally not appetizing, have there been any of them that you really wanted to taste? Or any part of them that you really wondered what it tasted like?

I'm sure you get tons of submissions for the blog....When you open the submitted pictures do you have a physical reaction (laughing, choking, groaning, milk shooting out of your nose, etc) or is it just a job now? ;)

Do you know what a Magic Thirsty Duck is? Actually, does ANYONE remember what a Magic Thirsty Duck is?

Willing to make a specialty cake for a small dog crate (Brownsburg)

Hello,
Go check out this person's website. Her portfolio has some possibilities don't you think?

On Craig's List:
My son is getting a puppy in October and I would like to barter with someone so that we can help each other out. The dog he is getting will be no bigger than 10-12 lbs fully grown so I am thinking a crate for a dog no bigger than 25 lbs would be fine. I am a stay at home mom and make wonderful specialty 3D cakes. I would be willing to trade a cake for your special occasion for a nice small dog crate. I would prefer to have a nice black crate with the tray fully intact. You may visit my website at www.creativecakesbylisa.com to view my cakes. I hope I am able to help you if you can help me.

AH! I have quickly become obsessed with your wrecks. The jump drive cake is amazing.

LOVE!

How often to you receive submissions from foreign countries where "culture clash" may come across as a wreck?

(Love, love, love your blog!)

What's the most expensive costing cake wreck you've come across?

Have you yourself ever been tempted to order a cake ambiguously/incorrectly, so that it might become a cake wreck?

Has anyone ever taken grave offense at their work featuring on Cake Wrecks and threatened legal action over your display of the cake?

Love your site! How many people ask you about some of the geek comments 'the answer is 42' springs to mind, or do your fans just assume your making butter rum frosting?

Always enjoy the cake wrecks site. Do I have to have a question?

Let's see... There seem to be a lot of amateurish and poorly-done cakes. Do you think most cake wrecks go unreported? Do people just try to forget about them, or do they always remember that one really bad cake?

Hey Jen,
Have you ever "Wrecked" a cake, and if so, do you have a funny story and please please please, a picture of it?!
