Cake Wrecks Turns One!
May 20, 2009 I know you're still reeling from the heady celebration of my own birthday, but now we have another excuse to wreck some cakes, sing songs, and get sloshed on sprinkles:
Let the rejoicing...[dramatic pause]...begin.
Yep, one year ago today I was thinking, "Hey, this might be a fun diversion for a few weeks. Thank goodness for the anonymity of the internet! No one will ever know."
Yeeeeaaahh.
Still, to all of you who have become faithful readers, loyal fans, and virtual friends*, thank you. You've helped make this the most exciting year of my life, and I am forever grateful.
And to you persnickety trolls who continue to inform me, in many and colorful ways, just how vast the suckage quotient of this blog is: May you someday start a blog and moderate your own trollish comments. (Harsh, yes, but it's got to be said.)
Also, a quick reminder: although the retail price of my book Cake Wrecks is $12.99, there are some fantastic discounts to be had if you pre-order it online now. It's currently available at Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Amazon.
Thanks, guys, and Wreck on!
- Jen

This is now my very favorite blog. I hope all the accolades you get help overcome the troll wreckage! Those are likely 11-year-old boys anyhow.
Happy bloggiversary, Cake Wrecks!
Whenever I read your blog, it just makes my day. Greetings from Germany!
Happy! "Birkdy" CaKe, Wrex.
May You. Have Many! More!!!!
(add a baby on a carrot)
Well, of course there's much suckage on this blog; that's the point! We get daily doses of entertaining and amusing suckage, except Sundays, when they're still entertaining but they don't suck. I eagerly look forward to each day's posts.
Congrats on the year. The anniversary is the same as mine! Different kind of anniversary though :)
*comes in dragging balloons cause they hang upside down don'tcha know.
Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks.
Happy Birthday! I can't believe it's only been a year. I can hardly remember life before Cake Wrecks. :)
Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks! I love your blog....thanks! I look forward to many, many more years of wrecks. LOL
Being one and all, you did make yourself a smash cake, didn't you?
Happy birthday to one of the few blogs I read faithfully. You make me laugh snort guffaw out loud and where else can you find fellow Stargate cake geeks?

Happy Blogiversary, Cake Wrecks!
What a brilliant blog it's turned out to be.
Happy Anniversary!!! You make each and every day a little bit better...did I say little? You make it a hell of a lot better!:)
Congrats! I haven't been reading long, but this is pure awesomeness. It also made me realize how horrible CCCs are.
I'm imagining toddler carrot jockeys now.
Happy anniverbirthday!
HAPPY FALKER SATHERHOOD!
I knew I liked the site for a reason. Cake Wrecks Me and Cher... all celebrating a birthday today. (take a look at the lovely - totally no wrecky Zebra Cake at my page btw)
Might I add... Cher - older than the Wrecks OR me!
Congrats on a great year.. can't wait to see what wreckiness awaits us this year! Because you know they'll be there.

Happy Birthday
Underneath that write
Screw the Haters

Happy blogaversary! Thank you for keeping me entertained!
Happy Blogday and Many Hippo Returns!!
Congratulations to Cake Wrecks on becoming 1 year old today. Every friend I tell about Cake Wrecks ends up an addict, especially to Jen's commentary on the wrecks.
I love your blog- and Happy Happy One Year!! Hopefully there are many more years to come!
Congrats!!!!! On an incredible year!!!!!! "Go you"!!!!!!
Happy. Birfday!!!!!! "Cakewreacks"
See, I've learned so much.
wv: unducl the duck version of en garde.
@ Tricia: extras in the book (besides 75% or more new Wrecks) include reader stories & behind-the-scenes tidbits from yours truly. There are sections on cake controversies, "fun" trolls, and baker-reactions, too. Hopefully enough to justify buying the cow, at any rate. ;)
@ Andrea: a site make-over is coming. Shh. Don't tell anyone.
@ Anony: regarding the cover, we're going with the "original" Wreck in today's post. Hopefully that's a good compromise for everyone!
Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks! Or should that be, "Hippy"!!! biRth day that that that Cake' Rex in Green?
I just found your blog about a week ago and I love it. I laugh until I cry. Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday to cake wrecks!
Congrats! And thanks for the laughs. Cake Wrecks is one of daily faves.
Here's to hoping the trolls get a troll flavored extremely wrecktastic cake for their birthdays and someone snaps a pic to send to you Jen.
congrats! I love this blog!! Can't wait to see what the second year has in store.
This blog is my favorite! I might like it even more than my family's blogs (but don't tell them that).
Happy. Birthday. Cake. Wrecks.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cake Wrecks sucks??????????
I think NOT!!!
I love Cake Wreaks! Keep up the hilarious work!!
(notice all the extra punctuation ;))
Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks! My morning wouldn't be the same without you! Thanks!
happy birthday!!! I don't know quite how I got through each day without this blog until recently. I recommend it to everyone that appreciates good humor. This is just the best!!! (those exclamation points are for good measure, not an expression of too much of anything...)
Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks!
I'm a recent joiner, and I love this blog. You make my day. Thanks so much.

I love this site. I have only been visiting for a few months (saw a post about it at cafemom.com), but it is one of my favorite websites and I check it every day. I'm sure most of the trolls are "bakers". hehe
Hippy Barthday Cake Wreckz!
I have been an avid follower since about June last year. Onwards and upwards for Cake Wrecks!
Happy Blogiversary, oh curator of the wrecks.
Well what a cowinkidink! Today is my birthday too. :) Happy birthday to cakewreks - May 20 is an excellent day!
♥cakewrecks♥

I can't believe you have only been doing this a year! You have had amazing success and I wish you much, much more!
Happy Anniversary!
Gosh I'm so naive. Who would post horrible things? That's a rubbish thing to do! Happy birthday and many happy returns!! Ignore all mean comments forever if you please!

Happy blogaversary!! I love Cake Wrecks and have recently gotten my hubby hooked on the site as well! Keep up the awesome work :)
Congrats on the anniversary and thanks for a FUNNY year!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY - I can always count on your blog to make me laugh, sometimes even a deep belly laugh with tears!!!!! Keep it up!
Congrats Jen. Did you have any idea the phenomenon Cake Wrecks would turn out to be when you started the blog? You're like a cult hero superstar now. Wow.
I started my blog about the same time you started yours and, well, let's just say I'm not quite as popular. I need a schtick. How about Bake Wrecks? {Wink}
Happy Anniversary (just to be different...) I love this site like fat kids love cake! My only complaint is that when I read it at work (v. bad), I can actually not stop myself from laughing out loud, and since my work is terribly dull, I think my boss may suspect my mind and web browser is elsewhere.
Love this, keep it up! May decorators never get their act together and so keep you in the blogging business!
Happy Blogoversary, Cake Wrecks! you have made me laugh so hard that I've cried. Thank you for that! And under neat that, may you live to celebrate many more!
