You can thank me later

Tonight I stumbled upon this...it can only be described as a jewel of a website. And I thought the three of you who are my sisters and mom who read this blog would get a kick out of it. The website is called 'cake wrecks' and that's exactly what the site features...cakes that for one reason or another could be construed as wrecks. There are lots of different categories, and I encourage you to head over there if you'd like to kill some time and have a laugh.

But I couldn't resist putting some of my favorites on here though.

Although there are all kinds of cakewrecks on the site, I mostly got a kick out of the ones featuring literal translations. For example:

Apparently the recipient was having triplets and the instructions were to write 'congratulations' three times. But it gets better, check this one out:

Obviously the instructions were to write 'welcome' on the cake. I especially love the attention to detail the decorator has, they even included the quotation marks!

I don't think this one needs any further explanation!

I love it, rather than taking the time to actually create firework explosions, they just wrote it. But it still gets even better, this is my second favorite one:

What a way to celebrate the Olympics, eh? But it's not my favorite one, this one really does, if I may, take the cake:

Apparently the person requesting the cake was having a Wizard of Oz theme party. She didn't want to over complicate things by requesting a cake with a yellow brick road or anything like that, so she just instructed the cake designer to write 'Somewhere over the rainbow' except that was taken a bit too literally! And they didn't even spell 'somewhere right'.

Of course it's not all about literal translations. Apparently, misspellings are very common as well. And I didn't realize this before, but apparently the most misspelled word in the English language is 'Congratulations'. Here are some prime examples:


Awesome, right? But these cakes aren't all about what's written on them. Nope, some of them are just funny in their own right. Like this one.

I'm sure Jerry's friends are really wishing him luck, look how happy they are for him! Or how about one which is a minimalist's dream.

You know it's a winter cake because it says 'winter' at the top and there's a snowman at the bottom.

Of course some cakes are just not right.

I mean, it's impressive that it's an actual cake, but could you imagine taking a big knife to that thing? It's just a little too life like for my tastes (pun totally intended).

And this one I couldn't not post. Sorry if some on here find it offensive, I found it very funny. Apparently this cake was actually brought to an actual office. I assume it was the Scranton branch at Dunder Mifflin.

And now a few bonus cakes...here are some more funny ones.

I wonder what Libby does to be so close to death. And their birthdays are so close! Cool or scary? You decide.

I love the literal translation of this one. I'm guessing it was supposed to be Aunt/Mom, but they've spelled out slash. Or it's one twisted family and they're encouraging their aunt to flash their mom. Who knows?

Anyway, head over to the site, you'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll be glad you did. And yeah, you're welcome.
