In Which We Try To Come Up With New Ways To Say "Nailed It"

The baker swore she could recreate this Mad Hatter cake:

And yet...

To quote Aimee, "Oh, and the cake was burnt." 
Well, somebody got burned, am I right?! HEYO! High five!

Anyone?

Don't leave me hanging...

Fine.

Amber wanted this Mickey Mouse cake for a second birthday party:

Trouble is, she asked the baker to make it out of buttercream instead of fondant, which we all know would require a magic wardrobe, 3 fairies, and a photo of the Loch Ness Monster doing the Macarena.

Hey, wouldn't it be hilarious if I showed you guys a really amazing cake right now?

Yeah, that would've been funny.

And now, for the first time ever, Cake Wrecks proudly presents: 
An In-Depth Analysis of the Wreck®

An In-Depth Analysis of the Wreck®

To keep things simple, Cheryl ordered the stock Hello Kitty design off the bakery's website, which looks like this:

You know how they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words?"

Well, in this case, a picture of a picture of a cake on a cake is worth about thirty bucks.

GOOD TO KNOW.

And finally, Angela writes, "This is what I wanted for the groom's cake..."

"...but in the color scheme of his drums, which is a green fade to lighter green with sparkles, like this:"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA... coughcoughcough... cough...

Oh. You were being serious? No, yeah, sure. That's tooootally gonna happen.

:gigglesnort:

Well, look on the bright side, Angela; at least the baker didn't jam glow sticks into it like on your wedding cake. (Last one.) (Ahhh, good times.)

Thanks to Aimee R., Amber W., Cheryl S., & Angela for drumming up some new lolz.

Sunday Sweets Is ON FIRE

When you live in the Sunshine State people tend to think of that in a positive sense, like it's all soft sunny days and rainbows down here.

(La Docica Doces, Brazil)

If I could live in a cake, this would be the one!

However, as we Floridians continue sweating through our 5th month of summer, I thought I'd find some Sweet examples of what it's REALLY like to live here:

(Gina Molyneux)

THIS. Only with less guitars.

Besides, I'm also fascinated by all the cool ways (pun intended) bakers make sugar look like fire!

(Baker unknown - help?)

In this context, Florida weather is the bonfire, and we Floridians are the marshmallows. 

Which is doubly appropriate, since I'm about as pale as an untoasted marshmallow. :P

(Hang on, I just realized those "bricks" are made of cut-up Snickers & Milky Way bars. SWEET STAY PUFT. I need a campfire cake, stat!)

Check out these flames made of sugar glass:

(Delectable Cakes, no longer open)

 They're even cooler on the back!

Ahhh-MAZING. And actually inspired by Katniss' dress in Hunger Games, but either way, completely stunning.

Here's some Fire and Ice for you Game of Thrones fans;

(By Reddit user HermioneJeanGranger7)

I'm guessing the flames are modeling chocolate, but I have no idea how they're so perfect. Dang.

Next a dragon for everyone else, because let's face it, everybody loves dragons:

(Sweet Spoilers, Australia)

Especially dragons that defy gravity, shoot flames, and presumably taste delicious.

This campfire cake is one of those simple-but-brilliant designs that make me think, hey, maybe I could do that!

(By Pinterest User Ricae Fleck)

(And lemme tell ya, it is SUPER confusing when bakers upload their cakes directly to Pinterest. Please, stop doing that.)

See the candles in the campfire? That. Is. BRILLIANT!

Plus this is the best use of candy rocks, crushed Teddy Bear cookies, and graham crackers. I think Ricae is a hobby baker, but this looks professionally made! I'm just completely smitten, you guys.

Here come some beautiful abstract "flames" for a firefighter's wedding cake:

(Photos by Soul Echo Studios, but no baker is listed. Anyone know?)

Isn't that lovely? I like the overlapping colors - and of course the little ladders up the side are too cute, ermergosh. (Then they cut it with a mini fireman's ax! Hee!)

I'll admit, this next fireman's cake DOES remind me of a certain wreck that still makes me laugh nearly a decade later. BUT IN A TOTALLY SWEET WAY:

(Peace, Love, Sugar, California)
(More cute party pics here!)

Isn't it adorable? And make you want to wish someone good luck in China?

And finally, one more abstract fire and ice beauty that brings the best of both worlds:

(Kidacity, Australia)

So gorgeous, I almost forgot it's 93 degrees and raining outside. (hahahaaa SOB)

Stay cool out there, my friends! Happy Sunday!
