Oh! So THAT's Why There's No Mail!
February 21, 2011 Today we here in the U.S. celebrate our first president's birthday.
But more importantly...
[ripping off coat to reveal red, white, and blue sequin-covered jumpsuit]
...we celebrate America.
Hit it, Christina!
Um, well, I think that's supposed to be "whose"...
"Paroles?" Is this song about a prison break?
*sigh*
I've just spent 10 seconds trying to pronounce "hallulliah," and I can't stop laughing. Help.[regaining composure] Ahem.
And now, in honor of George Washington and the day of his birth, let's see some starfish doing the tango.
That's for you, George.And, since some people think Washington's family crest actually helped inspire the red and white stripes on Old Glory, let's take a moment to spotlight the care and respect bakers still show our nation's flag today:
The blue waves represent the sea of our educational incompetence.Yessir, I think ol' George would have liked these bakers, with their real American values and their real American piping bags. After all, if there's one thing real Americans know, it's the shape of their own country.
Dibs on Toronto.Thanks to today's real American heroes Ember P., Terra F., Aziza, & Jill W.

uncle sam would love that cake. I would love that cake. and the cake looks tasty.
Wha? Where are the ram parts?
*rolls on floor laughing*
Well, thank God for educational incompetence or we wouldn't have all those creative people re-designing the American flag! The sad thing is that, at this early time on a Monday morning, I really did have to think for a second...wait, what is wrong about the stripes?! LOL
The round flag cookies are, appropriately, showing distress --if you put the stripes the right way, they're upside down, an official distress signal.
And how did "Glory,glory..." sneak into the national anthem? Sign Wrecks!
WV: osanc. Osanc an you see, by the dawn's early light....
LOL and WTF at the same time XD
BOOM! U.S.A. killed me!
Educational incompetence? What are you suggesting, that it's the fault of the school system?
well I dare ask what's more patriotic than two malformed starfish?
Anonymous @ 10:09,
No.

Ah reckon them's terrrrrrist starfish with them explodey vest things.
"Glory glory hallullia"? I don't remember that part...
Anon 10:09 - Only if these people went to baking school. ;)
Hallulliah
Hal-loo-lee-uh
Christina's moonlighting as a sign- writer now?
Hee hee, Americans...
We're celebrating Family Day here in Canada... in winter... where we can all freeze our @$$es off together, as a family
(and before anyone is offended by my "Americans" comment, its toungue-in-cheek, as I'm originally from Memphis.....)
Are all of those spelling and grammar errors in the first few pics really from the same bakery?!? That is really really pathetic and disturbing!
I think we should update Old Glory and go with the wavy stripes. They're modern! They're now!
I'm getting the petition ready now.
These had me laughing pretty hard, but I really have to give you props for the reference to Toronto being a U.S. City.
Hint: Check out Watson on Jeopardy if you don't know the reference
Toronto is indeed a US city. Watson said so.
Re: the last cake:
If Watson thinks Toronto is a city in the United States,then TORONTO IS A CITY IN THE UNITED STATES!!!
@ laughingmom
I thinks that's behind "Florida"
tjbmurph,
HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?!?!
?!?!?!
?!
john
um..."paroles FLIGHT"??? it's a two-fer!
Oh, that Watson. I go to RPI, and that was the event of the century up here.
Seriously, though, did they subcontract Christina Aguilera to do those signs or something? Hallulliah indeed.
I wonder if that bakery got Xtina's cue cards for cheap? They don't look like they've been in a dumpster...
Would we expect anything less from a wreckerator? They don't stop misspelling words when they put the piping bag down! *Sigh*
Just as long as Roseanne and Christina don't sing this version we'll be fine.
Hallulliah? Yep, I'm laughing too. All I heard in my head was Winnie the Pooh saying "Hallooooooo" to Princess Leah.
Just how old is that flag cake? There are only 15 stars...
ROTFLOL @ laughingmom - The ram parts will show up around July 4th and be disguised as rockets. ;-D
Wait, nothing about the donzerly light?
Re: "twilight's last gleeming"
Just another example of how "Glee" (and "Twilight," for that matter) is slowly but surely taking over the universe.
WV: dysio. Dees-a cakes a-make-a me dysio.
You are too funny!!! I just love your comments throughout the blog!! Thanks for providing me with my daily humor!
I can't quit laughing at the paroles flight...

lol not all of Canada. Here in Manitoba we are celebrating Louis Riel day where we are split on whether he's a hero or a traitor. Hmm.. I wonder what that cake would look like lol
The spelling mistakes were too funny. But the "boom boom USA" took the cupcake for me hahaha
Re dibs on Toronto:
Personally I'm at the pt where I'd take Obama over McGuinty & Nextel over our Bell monopoly!
oh my. i spent several seconds on hallulliah too and i still can't fathom how it's pronounced!
Historically hysterical -- thanks for the laughs!
Reading those signs made the melodies of The Star Spangled Banner and The Battle Hymn of the Republic crash in my mind -- sort of a tune wreck.
Although it came out like something Charles Ives would have done, which is appropriately USA-ish, I guess!

>> Wha? Where are the ram parts?<<
Don't give the wreckorators any ideas!
Let's face it -- somewhere, in some old Cake Wrecks post, there probably are some ram parts (she said, sheepishly).
wv - recoug.
I'm not a sheep farmer, nor am I Mike Rowe -- I don't know if I'd recoug-nize ram parts when I saw them.
When Ramona boycotted kindergarten and then told her mother to turn on the "dawnzer", which gives a "lee-light", I laughed because it was so precious and funny and exactly what a 5-year-old might do. I laugh now at the sheer absurdity of those Christina cue cards...and also, as a Texan, I feel vaguely guilty about the whole Big Game situation, which I understand happened near Dallas. But it's a hard song, right? So, as a friend heard it when she was a child, "...or the land of the tree and the homely old brave!"
wv: amarac. "Amarac, uh, Amarac...uh, God shed his grace on thee..."
Boom! Bang!
Love those touches...are those fireworks or incoming?!?!
Happy day off to all of those who do not work today!
Oh my gosh, between the signs and the comments here, I think the entire National Anthem has been rewritten. And, I'm scared!
wv: undefec - If these wreckerators would just ASK how to correctly spell something, they could undefec all their work.
just can't resist...
WV: pokete. When I see a wrecked cake, I just want to pokete!
that anthem kinda reminds me of the dinner prayer on National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation - boredatwork
I think that the wreckarators have to be immigrants. That explains the spelling mistakes and the wrecked flag. But their lack of talent...er...I got nothing
So which of you is wearing the red, white, and blue hot pants?

Too funny! Thanks for posting the hilarious cakes and comments--I had surgery (abdominal hysterectomy)this past Wednesday and now have 6 wks at home to recover. That's a lot of time to browse Cakewrecks! You make me laugh out loud, which kinda hurts right now, :) but I don't care! You rule.
Oh, ya traditionalists! Always havin to have things the same 'cause "that's the way we've always done it." Bunch of old fogeys, the lot of you! Why in my day, we only had 13 stars on that flag. Ya don't see ME whining about the other 37 on there, do ya? Well, do ya?
If Watson says that Toronto is part of the US, well, then, that's good enough for me! XD
@ellen - yummmm, Mike Rowe.... *wipes drool off chin* sorry, got a little distracted there.
@john (the hubby of JEN) - must be a slow work day - I can't remember seeing you chime in on the comments this often!
Carmen, the Un-Stalker
WV: areseme - What guilty wreckerators say when they see a police officer, "I did it, sir. Just areseme."
We here in Yorktown Heights, NY (birthplace of Watson) are celebrating the dominance of our new leader. All hail Watson.
We went to the research facility to watch our overlord squash the humans-No cake was served.
I'm not American and even I can tell there's something wrong with those cakes! LOL
On the 4th of July last year, my bakery also had added blue stripes to the flag. I so wished I had a camera at the time so I could submit it to you.
I blame the spelling on "No Child Left Behind" education, but the decorating? Wow, just wow!
Sharon's Edible Art
@Karin F: Count your blessings.
@Ellen: Love the Charles Ives reference! An orchestra I was in performed "Variations on America" -- it sticks with me to this day.
Speaking of which, 'Variations on America' would be an excellent title for that last cake.
Where's the part about 'Richard Sands'? If you're going to sing the anthem, you can't leave anything out! (Tongue in cheek, folks.)
What's the real story on those signs? I missed the halftime show (thankfully, it would appear) -- did she mess up the anthem that badly? Oy...
Correction: Washington's birthday is TOMORROW the 22nd. (My son's bday too.) Today is the recognized holiday in honor of Washington and Lincoln. Just sayin'...
