Dress a Wreck
March 12, 2011 Are you ready to be your own Wreckerator, only without all the mess and soul-eating shame? Then you are going to *LOVE* this fun little Wrecks game, created by loyal Wreckie henchperson J Rose.
So grab the kids, significant others, and/or cubicle mates, and get ready to start cranking out your very own Wrecks! Then print them out and decorate the fridge. Because, no, you are NOT too old for that.
Many "thanks" to J Rose, whose artistic genius is surpassed only by her impeccable taste in blogs.

Fun! now I'm going to use every one of those decorations and make the wreckiest cake ever!
This rawks!
What fun!
Sadly, anything I can do with this game would still look better than the mess I'd make with real icing.
I *LOVE* this!!
Is it wrong that when I saw the font used for the alpha/numeric characters the first thing I wanted to write was, "Suck it, Trebek"?
Also, I wish there was a way to share my "creations" with friends...
What a riot! Thanks J Rose!
Virtual cake and more wrecks!!!!!!!!!!! Winnah :)
So much awesomeness!
@Ellen: it's okay to make a mess with real icing when you're having fun at home, especially with your family. You just don't sell it, that's all. :)
Experiment with cake, have fun, make a wreck, then eat the evidence! Nom nom nom!
frig magnet play time!
Hey you were joking but I'm a tay at home mom. My 3 yr old will LOVE this.
That is not nearly enough sprinkles. ;)
So.Much.Fun! Envious of J.Rose's talent and creativity, too. Yay Saturday surprise!
Best start to a Saturday Work day I have had in so many days.
Like I've got time to waste on something...like......thhhh...
c-o-n-g-r-a-d-i-l-a-s-h-u-n-s
So much fun!
OK, this is great fun! I'm totally bonding with my 9 yr. old with this. Thank you!
Excellent!
Time for a lesson on how to share your creation in Windows:
1. Click and keys at same time.
2. Click in lower left corner, then , then , then
3. Click inside the white box
4. Click in upper left corner, then
5. Click in upper left corner, then , then
6. Type in the name of your creation
7. Click
Your creation is now saved (probably in My Pictures) and can be shared with the world just like a photograph.
That concludes our computer class for today.
Wow!Thanks for making such a cool, wrecky game! That totally rocks!!
Thanks for making such a great game, way fun!
All we need now is a CCC version of this game. Not that CCC's need any help being wrecky and echhy.
L.B.
FABULOUS!!!!
What does it say about me that the first cake I made was completely obscene?
FUN!
Lots of fun, and I could see this becoming a real game -- maybe a card game where you have to collect/swap "parts" to make a cake(wreck)!
wv: mistuash - Bob has a beard, but I'm growing a mistuash.
This is amazing!
Why can't I do it :( so sad.
It's wonderful! I love it!
Sharing is easy with a screenshot:

SO MUCH AWESOME
You just made my day!

"There was peace in the little valley, where the moose frolicked among the trees and babies with their llamas freely roamed the land. But, all that changed as the carrot jockies descended their pink stairways to rain doom upon them all...and also sprinkles."
On a game dev note, at first I was bummed that you only get 1 of every letter, so you can't repeat an r for the word "carrot"...but then I realized that having to omit or substitute letters is half the wrecky goodness.
I WANT SPRINKLES!!! I can't get the sprinkles to move. Other stuff, yes, but not sprinkles! NO FAIR!!!
J Rose is Awesome!
You have to grab the sprinkles in just the right spot.
It needs more sprinkles, though.
This was awesome! I've got the carrot jockeys on the stairs and the moose pooping... not enough poop swirls... love this! really should be a game...
WooHoo!! Wrecky game!!
Do we get extra points if we use everything available??
wv: imenedn
imenedn some more sprinkles :-)
Bwaahahahaa! I wanted the baby to ride the moose thing, but the baby shows up behind it. Then I realized the moose could ride the baby, and it was so much better. Thanks! Lol!
::adds page to "Favorites"::
AWESOME!!!!
SO AWESOME!
This was amazing. I had fun. :)
...is that an alpaca? It just so happens I used to be a professional alpaca-sitter. i want a real alpaca cake.
how cakewreckorically poetic that you must figure out how to spell your wreckie message using each letter only once!
how very frustrating that I cant seemed to get the sprinkles to drag onto my cake....
My 5 year old LOVES this!
Aww, J Rose is awesome! Thanks for sharing your talent here. That was fun!
this makes me happy!
For those people having trouble moving the sprinkles, I know, I tried really hard to make them movable! I added the giant white sprinkle in the bottom left corner as a handle to get them to move more easily.
This is my second drag-and-drop game ever. I'll do better next time!
And thanks for the love for the parts that work how I wanted them to! =D
Cake Wrecks: The Board Game!
Just needs some cupcakes and big chocolate chip cookies! Carrot Jockeys that face either direction! Crazy sprinkles! Scary icing roses!
Cardboard cakes, static sticker decorations! Add a timer and you're set!
this ROCKS!
my vote is for card game, I think
-Barbara Anne
SUCH fun!
I adore my King Carrot-Jockey baby, whose crown is exploding a la Miss United States in "Miss Congeniality."
More, please!
need more poo roses :p
