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
(*I mean that in a good way.)

Happy Birthday. I read your blog just about every day.

Obviously the haters are just mad they didn't get their sprinkles.

Congratulations, Jen! My whole family loves your site :-)
May your wrecks always be tastic.
whooohoooo!!!! Happy Birthday Cake Wrecks!
Thanks to Jen for keeping us amused and aware of all the truly heinous cakes out there (as well as some incredibly fabulous ones)
And I'm happy to hear that the original wreck will be featured on the cover of the book...I mean, it is the cake that started it all...
(holding up a giant margarita) Here's to a fabulous 2nd year!

Yes, trolls visit pretty much every site on the web. Perhaps someday they will learn to brush their hair, their teeth, and head out and grab a life.
Congrats on the great blog - I can't believe it's only been a year.
Happy virtual Birthday!
I can't believe people are mean to cake wrecks! It's the first thing I check when I go on my RSS reader and it never fails to make me smile!
Keep up the good work!

Happy Birthday! With Sprinkles! Thanks for the many laughs. I look forward to many more to come.
Wow! I can't believe it's only been a year -- I mean that in a good way; seems like I've loved Cake Wrecks for eons!
What, no "Happy birthday to your blog" wrecks? :)
Bon Anniversaire, Cake Wrecks! (thought I'd make up for the bon voy...meh from earlier today). I discovered this site from another blogging pal's page and I'm ever so grateful I did!
Thanks for not ending this as a two week-long whim!
Congrats on your first very successful year. My day is not complete until I have checked up on my favorite blog--Cake Wrecks. Thanks for laughs. Keep 'em coming.
I just started religiously checking the blog about a month ago. Everyday I anxiously await the newest wrecks. It brings a smile everytime! And often a surprised shake of the head. Happy First Birthday!!! May there be many more wrecks and sweets in the future!
Hey, consider the snarky comments like brain wrecks, a blog nobody but themselves would appreciate. I love your sense of humor and good-spirited razzing on human goofiness! My husband said it's good to hear me laughing out loud, which I did whole-heartedly when I found your blog a few days ago. I'm a fan, now, and I wish you many happy returns!!
Congrats!! I love Cakewrecks!! I have had some major laugh-fests...just sitting at my computer looking at all the hilarious wrecks!! Thanks!
Thanks for giving us a year of astounding and hilarious wreckage. You rock! *raises glass*
This is a great blog, it is one of my daily reads and usually has me laughing hysterically. People complain? Feh.
Woohoo!!
Happy Cake Wreck-iversary!!!
Happy blogiversary!
Happy Bithrday Cakewrecks! underneat that
Thanks for all the work you do for us, Jen. It's a wonderful part of my day. Thank you, thank you!
(I see that mchersh got here first with the underneat, but I love it so much I'm doing it anyway! ::waving at mchersh:: Besides, never let it be said that I didn't really, really overdo a joke.)
Jen, those trolls are people we should all ignore--they make me grind my teeth. I love Cake Wrecks!! And punctuation. I don't know how I got through the day before someone told me about your blog in March. I'm saving some of the earlier posts for bad days when I need an extra laugh. Hurrah for Cake Wrecks--one year of wonderful snarkyness. You have replaced the now-defunct and much missed "UglyWeddingDress.com" as my absolute most favorite site.
Thanks for all the laughs.
wv: preto--many cakes are preto cake wreckers!
Trolls? Seriously? This is the best blog out there! I can't get through a day without some wrecky humor. Keep up the great work Jen, and Happy Birthday to Cake Wrecks!
WV: Kincess= relative of a princess, but they don't get to wear a tiara.
Happy Birthday to the BEST BLOG EVER!!!!!!!!
Haters, Haters, Go Away, period.
Thank you, Jen, for your dedication to the wreckage!

Jen, you bring laughter, sometimes the out-loud-with-a-snort variety (much needed), to my days. Phooey on those persnickety trolls, and long live Cake Wrecks!
I SO enjoy your blog and have gotten a few coworkers addicted as well!
"Hoppy" AnnversaRy!!! Cake Wreck's

While I only manage to check Cake Wrecks about once a week or so, it's always a highlight for me! I'm an English teacher, so I get extra fun out this! Happy Birthday!
Who on earth would leave trollish comments about your blog? I think your blog is fantastic!

Happy Birthday, Cake Wrecks!!
Part of my daily routine...
Happy Birthday!
And thank you for providing me with my daily dose of awesome for months and months.
Also, you have trolls? How could a blog like this even HAVE trolls? I just don't get it.
Congratulations Jen! Or...Happy Birthday! Or...Happy Anniversary! Or whatever's appropriate!!
happy blogday, and good work.
whoever these trollpeople are, well, they're just jealous.
mmm, cake.
Congratulations! I just discovered your blog a few weeks ago, and have been incredibly entertained! Keep up the good work!
Your blog is all things warm, cozy and most of all, hilarious.
Good grief! You have trolls? For shame. Congratulations on the forthcoming publication. As others have already said far more eloquently, your blog is the icing on my cake.
Very best wishes
Happy blogaversary!!
'May you someday start a blog and moderate your own trollish comments.'
That's the worst curse you could inflict upon someone. O____O
That aside, it a brithday, and I want sprinkles.
Hey--! I hope that you're not implying that $12 & change is not a DEAL and a HALF? For all the laughs? Hilarity? Wreckity?
Stupity? Craziness and wittiness and reallyfunny writing by you...for which I'll even make up a brand-new word, in your honor, Jen.
Here it is: Jenwittage.
You're welcome--keep the change.
NOW, how are we gonna GET the book if the cover isn't ON it yet, huh? HUH??
I want mine NOW--I don't WANT to wait! Do I have to throw a tantrum?! I didn't come ALL THIS WAY to--(okay, scratch that; I didn't go any farther than to my stupid chair)...
To heck with the cover--send me one without the damn cover. Here--take my child for collateral /ransom; send the book along by carrier pigeon.
Yes, coverless. Wait--how heavy is it?
=^OO^=
