* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Names get misspelled in some pretty impressive ways, the best one probably being [[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2008/11/8/ive-heard-of-death-taking-a-holiday-but-this-is-ridiculous.html this one.]]

* GagBoobs: Some of the supposedly-human-shaped cakes depict women with large breasts, or just the breasts on their own.

* AccidentalPun: Some of the bakers create punny cakes without themselves even knowing! For one example, a customer asked for a cake decorated with a "a black high heel", as in a shoe; what they got was "a black high ''hill''", [[https://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2008/8/29/dial-a-wreck.html as in a mountain]] - some comments speculated that the customer had [[AccentDepundent a strong Southern US accent where "hill" and "heel" would sound identical]].

* ShesGotLegs: [[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2010/1/19/shes-got-leeeegs.html This]] cake, which has six gartered legs wearing with red shoes on their feet.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: A cake congratulating a girl on her first period might be appreciated, if said reason wasn't written on it. "[[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2010/11/9/parent-appreciation-day.html The fact that "period" is spelled wrong pales in comparison with, you know, everything else.]]"

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The entire [[https://www.cakewrecks.com/?tag=Do+You+See+What+I+See "Do You See What I See?" tag]]. Numerous cakes come out not looking ''quite'' like the baker intended, notably the "[[https://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2009/11/28/a-fine-feathered-salute.html turkey poo-wang]]" cakes.

** Orange in [[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2013/9/22/sunday-sweets-orange-teal.html this Sunday Sweets post]].

** Many wreckerators have been presented with an image of a cake similar to the one that the customer wanted, only to take the picture too literally and ''print the picture'' onto the cake with edible paper.

* {{Squee}}: How Jen often responds to the cakes in the weekly Sunday Sweets post. Actually said verbatim [[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2015/7/5/sunday-sweets-summer-fun.html here]] and [[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2017/4/16/sunday-sweets-hops-to-it.html here]].

* TriviallyObvious: "[[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2009/6/18/my-dads-cake-is-more-insulting-than-your-dads-cake.html 1 Dad]]". Not "#1 Dad", just a dad.
* WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma: Quotation marks seem to suffer the most, e.g. the mildly worrying "[[http://www.cakewrecks.com/home/2008/5/21/gee-thanks-kids.html Thanks For Being Our 'Dad']]".
