What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

John's Birthday Suit

It's my birthdy! And by "my" I mean it's john (the hubby of Jen)'s birthay. Granted, I don't usually speak of myself in the third person (unless I'm in the midst of seduction [which, admittedly, rarely works (but John never knows unless he tries!)])...but...um...where was I?

Oh, yeah: It's my birhday!

I originally wanted to write about those Canadian Nazi carrots you can buy at Epcot, but then I figured I'd just show you a bunch of misspelled cakes, so my own misspellings look international. Because I'm crazy like that. And giving. Yep, John's a giver.

[eyebrow waggle]

Look! A misspelling!

I believe it's spelled "Shirk." And since I did avoid seeing the last movie, this kind of works.

Isn't this called an oxymaroon?

Although if you roll the "r" while reading it out loud, you'll sound just like Sherk! Go on. Try it.

See what I mean? Now, all together: "Grrrreet job, don-kay!"

This one also seems a little contradictionary:

"Stop that right this second! Don't make me pull this event over!"

And since you long-time Wreckies know how fond I am of Earth Day cakes...


Listen! Do you smell Epcot?

And finally, this is not a cake, but I've gotta say...

...I pay way more for Jen's pasties.

Hm? What's this? Jen's telling me "pasties" are also British meat pies.

John thinks she's trying to tell him something. [eyebrow waggle]

John also would like to know why Jen rolls her eyes so much.

And now, because it's my brithday, I want to give you something special. Yes, that's right: John wants to give you something.

[duckface]

[Barry White music]

Awwww yeahhh. Mmmmmmm, baaaby. John knows what you want:

Cake Wrecks stuff!

So, leave me a comment, and I'll pick the sexiest two to win personalized copies of Cake Wrecks. (I'll even let Jen sign 'em.) The next sexiest two will win Cake Wrecks wall calendars.

In fact, because I'm such a giver, we're going to give stuff away every day this week, with even *more* give-aways on Facebook. Who loves me? Who is it? Oh yeah, it's you. Mmmhmmm. Happy briday to ME.

Check tomorrow's post for the winner's names, and also for your next chance to win stuff. Also watch the CW Facebook page this week for more chances to win exclusive CW pin packs and assorted goodies.

After reading the word pasties so many times, it has lost all meaning to me. This is a shame though because I like boobies.:) Happy birthday John!

Oh, hon. A "sexy" contest at MY age? I'd be lucky to remember how to spell it, never mind...

Ahem. Anyway, in my best sexy JEN voice, because, umm, you know, otherwise it's kinda, like, too wierd, and....

"Is that a Carrot in your Jockies, Baby, or are you just happy to see me?"

*blushes furiously*

Me thinks enciting this contest makes you a little bit of a comment whore...but I'd do almost anything for a prize. I guess that makes two of us. :) Here's to a birthday that goes all the way!

Let's be honest, there is NOTHING sexier than spelling errors in icing. Except maybe grammatical ones.

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSamantha G

Pasties should be available for purchase in every coffee shop. What a great way to ensure more business at night!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLittle Miss "E"

Meat Pie Boobs would be a great band name. Or at least a "greet" band name.

Happy birthday, John!

Sexy.

Heidi (who often speaks of herself in the third person...mostly so people will continue to think she is crazy and leave her alone) wishes John a very "hippy brithday with sprinkles!" :-)

And as for pasties, I saw a craft show recently on how to make your own.(not talking about the meat kind!) How much of a crafting enthusiast do you have to be to pull out your hot glue gun and cut the tassels off your throw pillows to make your own? Especially of you can buy them for $1?

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHeidiJ1304

Happy happy joy joy! I'm not going to ask what gets you to that state. (Kids visit this site, ya know.)

Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, John!

Sorry, I've been married 32 years, so my sexy talk is all reserved for Hubby. <3

But may your birthday be great
with much cheer and an unwrecked cake
and may Jen and amour

John, the bronzed DANISH internet god, was feeling kinda CRUSTY. It was his birthday, he’d FRITTER’d his day, drooling over a TARTLETTE. Jen had caught him, SCONE‘d him, COBBLER‘d him to MINCEMEAT and now he wasn’t sure what to expect for his big B’Day dinner celebration. His normally sweet interior had soured, he felt FLAKY.
When walked into to the office, Jen looked up, startled, partially blinded by the bright computer screen, and smiled, “QUICHE, if I’d known you were coming, I’d have baked you a CAKE”, she breathed huskily and winked. She stood up and offered him a COCKTAIL. It was then he saw her PUFF PASTRY‘s and PASTIES and he reached out to grab one. She TURN‘d OVER and slapped his BEARCLAW with a playful SHOOFLY. “Later, babe, later…” then she pinched his ELEPHANT EAR and led him to the kitchen.
Jen grabbed the bag of groceries he was holding and STRUDEL’d with its contents. She then began to beat his DOUGH. He watched as her ample DUMPLING and STICKY BUNS began to rise, and then she lined her DEEP DISH PIE pan. “No PECAN, it’s a secret spicy recipe.” Waggling her eyebrow. “I’m making TOURTIÈRE, it’s French Canadian!!! I figured this would make my little MARZIPAN, go PIE eyed.”
“COOKIE” Jen purred, “could you make sure the oven’s FLAMBÉ is lit, I BISCOTTI to check.“
He could feel the heat already so he clutched her heaving goodies and thrust his birthday grub into her hot box. Savoury scents soon filled the room and John unable to wait began to nibble on her CREAM PUFFS.
“BAKLAVA off,” you’re MACAROONing me crazy and STREUSELing me out. Dinner’s almost ready. Sit down.” She laughed.
Jen put a TART , like the one John had been eyeing earlier, in front of him. It was a glorious and smelled divine.
“I’m ravenous” Jen said. Her mouth watering as she bit into his MEAT PIE and swallowed the piece whole, “There nothing like good pork!” licking her lips.
“Leave room for dessert. CUPCAKE ,we’re going to make WHOOPIE!! Pie, that is... with sprinkles on top.” And then she winked again…

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday! May the icing blobs never darken your white shirt. Unless you're into that sort of thing.
