Prepare To Feel Festive
December 21, 2010 ...whether you like it or not.
Ok, gang, let's run through that check list again.
Homicidal ghost penguins?
Check.Santa's head on a pike?
Well, it's more like a "turret," but... check.
Pistol Pete's Gingerbread Gun Shop?
Shoot, look's like this baker's gunnin' for a raise! Quite a bang up job, too! Ha ha!I mean: check.
Alrighty, looks like we're all set!
[speaking into headset] We have a "go" on "Festivities." Repeat: we have a "go" on "Festivities." Proceed with operation "Flower Dump."
Ah, the spirit is moving already!
Ok, let's get wardrobe in here to dress those frogs I ran over last night.
Perfect! They look just like reindeer!
Now, we just need to cram 57 wrapped candy canes, three pounds of icing, and this bucket of plastic flotsam onto a single cake round. Move it, team, move it!
I am so proud of you all right now I could just bust.
Well, gang, that's a wrap. Now, get out there this weekend, and have a ball!
Er.Perhaps in a more figurative sense.
Felicitations to festive feelers Chardy C., Rose B., Amber, Dustin S., Cadence M., Ashley D., & Amy W.

I was originally going to comment about how the rein-frog cake said "Jospeh," but I see that... (counts) about 18 (I lost track) people have already mentioned that, so...
Homicidal Ghost Penguin (Eudyptes iamdeadandsoonyouwillbetoo)
Native to shipwrecks off the coast of Antarctica, these phantom penguins hunt down the relatives of the people who killed them, then murder them in their sleep. Their favorite way to disguise themselves is to turn themselves into a cake.
-Greg
P.S.: I agree with Loo-E Loo-I, DO NOT MAKE "JOSPEH" EPCOT 2.0!!!!!
Oh wait, forgot 2 mention...
wv was refrogre. Really. I'm serious. How perfect is that? Sounds just like reinfrog! And now...
wv - seardepo. On a Cake Wreck, brown icing can sometimes look like seardepo. *shudders* I got grossed out just writing that.

The candy canes . . . the candy canes.
Susanna King=awesome.
If you look at the pooinsettia cake close enough and squint, you can almost see a face in the top red flower.
Didn't want to waste such a great word verification--it is lavash.
I hope my donation can go towards a "lavash" birthday party for a needy kid...
(yes, I looked it up, it means a type of flatbread--but compared to some wrecks, that might be a better cake)
...homicidal ghost penguins.
Homicidal. Ghost. Penguins.
I don't even know where to begin. But let's start with this: What the flipping heck IS that last one?? I see some suggestions that it's an ornament, but... really? REALLY??
Also, I read that kid's name as 'Tospeh' (no, I swear, it's a cursive T!) and gave the writer the benefit of the doubt by figuring little Tospeh was foreign. Is that more or less sad than if it's actually 'Joseph' misspelled? And does it really matter when he has squashed Christmas frogs on his birthday cake?
Is that last one suppossed to be an ornament? good grief.
Those are some of the best reindeer skin rugs I've seen on a cake. And all dressed up for the holidays too!
-Care Bear
I don't know what scared me the most that cake with all the candy canes on it or the run over poop deers. Scary on all counts and hilariously so.
After 36 years as an elementary school teacher, I suspect, perhaps, maybe that the "poo" on the flowers is a pine cone, probably. It looks very much like a grade 1 or 2 sculptural attempt. Or, it just might be a grade 4 boy's sculpture of poo.
"look's like.." in Pistol Pete's caption? You are a grammar and punctuation genius, but that one slipped by you!
LOVE the blog.
When I first saw your post on my Facebook news feed, the icon pic of the "Homicidal Ghost Penguins" looked like a white Admiral Ackbar. Just sayin...
And poor Jospeh! Who really orders squished reindeer frogs on their birthday cake?!? ick!

I thought #4 was Mr. Peanut frozen to death. Great post, some of the best wrecks yet!
Err... That fourth pic looks more like... Flowers and poo. heh
What's up with the lame Castle joke? It's not in danger of being cancelled.
What was that thing on the "Flower Dump" supposed to be, I wonder!
love the Pistol Peter's Gun Shop ginger bread house... perhaps my hubby n son will make a house with me now :)
Why does the poinsetta cake have a lump of poo at the top? I enjoyed it until my eyes got to that bit.
And poor Joseph- wonder how they spelled on Jesus' birthday cake? Better not to ask.
If the wreckies can find enough pictures, do you suppose we could have a plastic flotsam cake competition to see who can shove the most crud on a cake?
@pikkewyntjie -- perhaps you might be right that "Jospeh" is actually not misspelled. I always assumed my great-grandfather's middle name was Lafayette. I recently came across his WWI draft card, and saw that in his own handwriting he spelled it "Layafatte." Some people's parents simply wreckerate their kids' names for them!
