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.

I hope you have an extra-shiny Birthday, John! Perhaps we should have a Johnstown as well as Jaynestown?

Sexy comments? Well, I've got mono and my doc says I'm not to "swap secretions" with anyone for the next seven to ten days, but I'll do my best. The raspy throat will make my "Happy Birthday" song all the more Marlyin-esque.

Ahem.

Happy birthday to you *hack*
Happy birthday to you *cough*
Happy birthday, Mr. Hubby of Jennn
Happy birthday to you... *seductive lick of dinner popsicle*

John's birthday suit? Pasties? Sounds like one hell of a birthday to me! *waggles eyebrows* Great job on making your hubby's day, Jen! *lends tape of sexy strip-dancing music*

If we don't hear from you two for the rest of the week, we'll understand. After all, with that kind of fun, how can John's birthday only last one day? XD

Sometimes life is sorta difficult. Okay, sometimes it really sucks. But then I indulge my daily routine of Epbot and Cake Wrecks and suddenly all is right with the world. You and Jen make such a difference every day. You give me a reason to laugh and that makes my life better. Thank you, sincerely.

Wow, co-inky-dink. It's my birthay, too. It's not. I just wanted an excuse to walk around in MY birday suit. So...if you could see me in it...well, I still wouldn't win sexiest post-even if that post was accompanied by a pole. But, let's just pretend I look like Adriana Lima (funny how you don't even have to bother gooogling her, huh,John?) Have a good one! ;)

Happy Birthday John. As a Canadian, I need to know more about the Canadian Nazi carrots at Epcot. Or pictures at least.

Elizabeth would like to tell John Happy Birthday. Elizabeth is baking an apple cake topped with butterscotch chips, and is about to pause for dramatic effect and...

*eyebrow waggle*

Happy birthday, John! And Jen, there's only one thing that needs clarifying -- would the pasties match your yellow boots?

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKittybeth

Sheesh, I was going to leave a comment anyway.

My birthday is today, too! Missed Halloween by 2 days. Hard to come up with stuff for Christmas list 1 week after birthday.

Never had a Halloween party, because I had to choose between that & b-day -- went for b-day since it had presents and CAKE!

I'm taking Thursday & Friday off and going to Astoria, OR (yes, where Goonies was filmed) to letterbox with friends, have high tea, have cake and generally have fun for my 50th birthday.

Susan hopes John has a great birthday, too, filled with pasties and waggles and lots of cake!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLucySue

doh! i want to win, but i can't bring myself to even try to make a sexy comment when talking to a married man. so i'll go for blatantly un-sexy, and hope it has the same effect. picture jar jar binks' identical twin sister as oola the slave girl (and wearing her clothes), jumping out of your birthday cake. that is my imaginary present to you. va, va, va, voom.
