Make Today Marry
December 25, 2009 Marry who, you ask?
Why, marry Christmas, of course!
And going by this next cake, I'm guessing "Christmas" is a small plush snowman:
Although that giant smear of icing does make you wonder what it *used* to say.Here they got "Merry" right, but....
(Correction: I meant to say "however." So stop looking at me like that.)Here's an interesting one:
"Alue"?[blink blink]
Yeah, I got nuthin'.
If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know how important it is to get those writing and grammar skills ingrained at a young age.
Like so.Now, it IS Christmas, so I'm afraid the big guy has to make an appearance:
And I am so, so sorry.He does come bearing greetings, however.
Although if you misspell "Christmas," then he's going to go all stony faced.Still, I can't think of a better harbinger of Christmas cheer than a really, really constipated Santa:
Dude. Nick, seriously, try a little coffee or something. I think you're about to put the "pop" in "apoplexy."Well, happy Christmas, my dear Wreckies! Oh, and Krystle M., Michelle I., Jane K., Travis P., Sarah, Merideth S., Nils T., & Lisa H., also don't forget the importance of proper fiber intake. Just sayin'.

Oh, my! I can hardly believe the wreckage. Very, very funny!
Tanks for given me a Chistmas chuckle.
Why is Santa's head on top of a big, red chicken carcass? *shudder*
'alue' is Finnish for 'area', but that probably has nothing to do with it
#4 says Awe My Gosh Santas Here. Bad apelling and missing apostrophe. Awesome.
LOL I love the constipated Santa. So sad on the mispellings. Although, if you write fancy enough, you might get away with it :D
Funny, you have several optional explanations for ALUE. I immediately thought ALLIE, but that is probably because I have a niece with that name...
I think "ALUE" is the second cake is supposed to be "ALLIE" (if the "L"'s are too close together) but I could be wrong.
Thanks Jen and John for all the wrecks and all the laughs! Merry Christmas, everyone!
"Awe my gosh" probably started out as "owe my gosh", which would be a cute pun on the spending that happens in the name of Santa.
Merry Christmas! The constipated one made me laugh :)
Santa is apparently a giant red turd. LOL
"A Merry Messy Christmas." `Christmas' as an H in it, Mr Baldrick.
Baldrick: Oh....
Ebenezer: ....and an R. Also an I, and an S. Also T and M and A ....and another S. Oh, and you've missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations, Mr Baldrick! Something of a triumph, I think -- you must be the first person ever to spell `Christmas' without getting any of the letters right at all.

Merry Christmas! My husband got me a Cake Wrecks shirt for Christmas, so now I'm an Official Wreckporter :)
Have a great day everyone!
re: the final picture of the day - are we certain that it is not meant to be Marty Feldman dressed as Santa? Igor (that's pronounced eye-gore) says Merry Christmas...
Hurray. I received not one, but two Cake Wrecks books for Christmas. LOL!
Merry Christmas Jen & John you brighten my day every day of the year. May cake decorators everywhere continue to be blind and illiterate.
That Santa looks exactly like some of the turkey wrecks we saw a month ago! Only red, and with a face at the top. Which really doesn't help.
After a season working at the mall where it was forbidden, despite the fact that neither I nor anyone else have even heard of someone being offended by it: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
The "shrunken head" Santa is just heading off to give presents to Beetlejuice and all his little friends...
I'm a little worried about the digestive track of whoever has to eat "constipated Santa."
It's a shame I didn't see this parade of wreckage before Christmas Dinner; that first Santa cake would've helped me resist the calories!!
That said, a sincere and heartfelt 'Marry Christamus' to the CakeWrecks team and its readers.
Out on a limb here, but is alue actually alleluia / hallelujah? in a kind of weird mixed up way?
That last one is beautiful. In a Cake Wreck kind of way, I mean. Merry Christmas and happy winter to all.
Yeah, I think that the cake with "alue" is really supposed to be "Allie", like somebody before me already said. Or maybe I just saw it that way because that's my name. XD Anyway, loved the post! Thanks for keeping us laughing, and merry Christmas! :)
ALLUE is supposed to be AWE. As in AWE MY GOSH. Which is really supposed to be, "Oh my gosh!" At least, that's what my family decided!
To add to my other comment, I think it's supposed to be "OWE my gosh." But, yeah. Still way off!
Wow the last one was very creepy!!
Thanks for all the laughs and the charity thing was a hit here at our home. Insead of giving to many we decided to give to St. Jude and give monthly too!! Great idea!
Christanus!!!! I can't breathe!
Well, I'm off to do actual cooking, the usual effect of which is depicted in the final photo. (I'm more of a take-out kinda gal, but people expect kitchen stuff this time of year.) You guys have a wonderful day, and thanks for another awesome year!
Stony-faced Santa might also be dirty from all those chimneys. What, is he supposed to bring a billion moist towlettes with him?
these are all laugh-out-loud hilarious! especially the pin-head red turd santa!!
thanks for all the wreckage and laughs, jen and john.
hope y'all have a very merry christmas!
A marry christanius to you all!!!
One of my fave posts so far!
What exactly are Christamus and Chistmas? Are these new holidays? And Xmast? Is that a part of a ship? I feel quite stupid.
But the constipated santa takes the cake *ba dum bum CH*
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas Season.
Took me a bit to realize that "alue" is actually "awe". Which still doesn't make sense. "Awe my gosh"? I personally thin it was meant to be "Oh my gosh", but was done by someone with a strong southern accent. Merry Christmas Y'all!
Now, the ALUE cake - correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm reading:
"HO HO HO - Alue My Gosh Santas Here"
OR
"HO HO HO - Gosh Alue My Santas Here"
Um......???
Jen - I admire and am inspired by your dedication! Posting on Chistmus! Excellent.
"really, really constipated Santa" had me guffawing.
Always a high point of my day! Thanks for all the humor you bring to all your wreckie fans.
My dad got your book for a Christmas present and we've been laughing over the wreckage all day! Merry Christmas

Okay, my best guess on #4 is "AWE my gosh," which is still horrifically wrong.
I think Santa ate too many cookies...
Thanks for taking the time to give us a Christmas Day laugh! Alue my gosh, what a Merry Christanus we're all having! :)
ALUE --> AWE
This makes it "Awe my Gosh" as in a sadly misspelled "Oh my Gosh."
I stand in awe of the baker's spelling skills. As in, "aww what a shame."
I think alue = AWE, with a really blocky W. And it should have been Oh.
That is how my 8-yr old son spells merry, too. However, he IS 8, and not a professional baker, soooo....
Marry Christamus to me, I got the Cake Wrecks book from Santa! (Hopefully not a constipated Santa, tho.)
I THINK that what appears to be 'ALUE' is actually 'AWE', although it should (in that case) be 'aw' or 'aaw' or 'awww' or...
And a comma should follow 'aw'. I may just be out of my mind, and seeing things.
That snowman looks so cute, I'd only hope it was not edible because I'd feel so guilty eating it.
And hahaha, that one Santa (I think it was the first Santa cake) reminds me of that bad guy in the Buffy episode "Bad Girls" with the tiny head and the grossly obese main body.
No offense meant to the overweight around here.
My favorite "Chistmas" present this year, my Cake Wrecks book! Thanks for the laughs this holiday! My whole family was cracking up while looking at some of the wrecks!
After the crazy two days I've had. Furnace decided to go out, and my son decided to not like anything he received, and my daughter crying all day...I REALLY needed that laugh. Merry Christmas!
Finally read all the old blogs. Yay! Merry Christmas and let the wreckage live on well into the new year! Great blog! ;-)
Went to high school with a girl named Christmas Carol.....suppose they are talking about her?
Santa brought me the Cake Wrecks book and I can only read a little bit at a time. I'm 7 months pregnant and it just hurts to laugh that much!
LOL...thanks for the Christmas laughs. That constipated Santa had me just about falling out of my chair!
