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.

Happy Birthday! If kid snot is considered sexy, then I'm a shoe-in, cause 3 kids with colds have covered me in the stuff.

Hello There! Love the blog.

Just wanted to give you a heads up about that last picture - unless you get permission from the corporation to post it, you may get in trouble if they catch you posting it online. I work for that particular corporation and no pictures of the menus and/or logos may be taken and distributed online.

Thanks! Happy birthday, John!

A giver who loves pasties...That's a tantalizing combo...

A man who speaks in third person, loves pasties, and misspelled Earth Day cakes...tantalizing combo

Oooohhh... Birfday!! I'm scanning over the comments, and I'm seeing a lot of hawt Scorpio action. Mine's the 4th, wouldn't want to miss out on the hawtness.

(Also, @Beth's sexy farm animal joke made me pee myself just a tiny bit. If mild incontinence brought on by childbearing isn't sexy, I don't know what is)

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterleeshka

Happy Birthday John. I hope you have a yummy non wreckie cake!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMarie

Ok, I vote for Scott in the Princess Leia costume. Because (obviously) women are better then men. And if you can't BE a woman, you could at least look like one... or just worship one from afar.

Oh wait... sexiest, not sexist.

Darn.

I still vote for Scott.

(BTW- way to pull in the comments... offer free stuff!)

Happy birthday, John! You're such a clever boy.

Feliz Cumpleanos John! And believe it or not, I actually misread all your misspellings as correct... until I got the hint and went back and reread them all. Thanks for making Cake Wrecks the funniest part of my day! -Monica Nelson

Oh my gosh! Over 675 comments. John you are LOVED, and THAT is sexy!

Three dollars, three pasties;
The third one's for you,
Removing them would be painful,
If you use Super Glue.
(Okay; maybe it's more porno than sexy)
Happy Birthday, John!

OMG! In Australia Pasties are definitely a pastry filled with meat and /or vegetables. Had to google it to see why it was funny to Americans! Wasn't prepared for them to be novelty nipple covers! Bwaahahahahaaaa!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah Schwerin

Happy birthday John!!! Today is also my birthday!!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterdesi

In defense of pasties--visit the Harry Potter theme park in Florida and try them for yourself--they're to die for!

Or, you know, be sexy for.

Happy birthday, John! And may the sexiest comment win!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLeah K.

Happy Birthday!! I love your blog, both of your comments about the cakes are hilarious!

and seeing as there are sooooo many comments I didnt read them all so I am guessing someone has already explained this but here ya go anywyas.

Pasties (pronounceds Pahs-teez) are actually polish in origin, which is why if you live in Michigan...like I do...they are so easy to find. Seeing as Michigan has a very rich heritage of polish immigrants (like myself) :)

but they of course are very popular in England, more so than here in the US, so people think that they are more of an English dish. But, its sort of like Curry...huge in the UK but not from there.

While the typical pasty is a pie crust filled with seasoned potato, today you can find them filled with just about anything...even breakfest foods, which i find to be a bit gross.

Hope your birthday was great!!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKellynBoBellen

MMMmmm.... Pasties? for only $1??? They're a staple up here in "Da Nort'woods" WI. Don't feel bad, I had no clue what they were until I moved here!
Hipy Birtday John! An meeny moore!
