Eh, You Get the Idea
March 2, 2012 ;)
Oh, dear.
He's a real salt-of-the-earth kinda guy.
Technically it was his cake, but Art's a little confused.
;)
They were trying to get right to the heart of the matter.
(Whaddaya mean, you don't like my puns? Why, aorta...!)
But it's her second Ivy one.
Say again?
And finally, I have no punny one-liner for this, but it's still my favorite:
;)
Sha-SHING!!
Thanks to Shawn W., Silex, Christin D., Shauna M., Christina S., Carolyn, & Vickie H. for these shing examples of wreckery.

I promise to use the word "Shing" at least once today.
Even thought I don't know what it means.
Or how to use it properly in a sentence.
Or how I will be mocked once I do...
How can they spell science correctly and miss history?? These are not professionals... they just happen to work in a bakery.
If Meatloaf were a wreckorator (and to satisfy Sunshine Mary):
I'll bake cakes,
I'll ice cakes,
But there ain't no way I'll do it without mistakes.
Now don't be sad,
'cause two outta three ain't bad!
Maybe Shauna is having an organ transplant and they want her to fare well?
Shauna's going into music ministry.
"Technically it was his cake..." BWAHAHA!
The "Shing" was my favorite Stephen King novel. Especially when the dear soilder, Art, brought histort to Organ for the Holly Communion -- it was Christmastime. Although there was some question about whether he'd be welcome, he was secure in his reiterment (and the wrongerment of everyone else.)
Really? No one checked the spelling of history for a *display* cake? Oy.
Also, can someone explain to me the cake decorating theory behind scribbling colored icing over decently piped edges (cake 5)? Yes, it adds color, but does nothing to make the cake look better. There are so many decorated this way at my local bakery; I'm baffled.
I'll say it again.
Haiku Joy's pen weeps red marks.
Come, reiterment!
~~~
True story, bro: For Christmas this year, I received 20 red ink pens. I've already bled 2 dry this semester. You should see the callus on the finger where my pen rests. It's like a muscle.
Well, on the plus side, the wreckorator didn't put an apostrophe in "heart's". That has to count for something.
Abandon all hope, ye who pastry here.
@zoomom -- great song, but now I'm thinking of meatloaf with buttercream. Yuck. (Note the small "m". I REALLY don't want to think of Meatloaf with buttercream. Ewww.)
I think these are my favorite kind of wrecks! :D
@Fluffy Cow
Harold and Debbie:
Librarian couple have
a shing future.
aside from the reiterment (?), why couldn't the baker simply lift the silly plastic thing in the corner to finish his word, then set it down again/move it slightly?
just realized the "Enter if you dear" cookie has R.I.P. around the edges - it's supposed to be a tombstone? I love these kind of cakes - they don't make me barf like the ones with pee sticks...
It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that last one is supposed to say "shining"
My heart shings a song of joy each time I visit your page.
As long as I've been reading your site, you'd think that I'd stop being shocked that a wreck is a display cake like Art's.
I am a little surprised that you didn't have Seuss wrecks today, but I'm also glad, because it might have crushed the Seuss high I am riding right now.
@Sharyn XD XD I am loving the punnage today-I aorta sue someone over the distraction cakewrecks gives me.
Kudos for the Meat Loaf references though I don't want to picture him with buttercream either.
Except now I can't stop.
I would do anything for cake but I won't do that!!
@ Sharyn: thanks for the image of Meatloaf in buttercream. *heads to kitchen for brain bleach*
My first thought was a Holly Hobby Communion.
That last one is an homage to Michael Myers with a mashup of Charlie Mackenzie and Wayne Campbell. "Harriet. Sweet, Harriet. SHING!" No?
Actual LOL at the "shing" cake!
I want a piece with a rose on it please! I bet the yellow and green ones would taste extra tummy! :d
I kinda hope that last cake was supposed to say "Shiny", and Harold and Debbie are Browncoats. I'm cool like that.
Ah, Haiku Joy. If only you had a piping bag full of red icing for these wrecks!
After re-reading that first one a few times, I have come to fear it. No. Really.
It is like the harmless little old lady with purple hair who calls you dear and offers you cookies only to lure you into her house so she can eat you! BEWARE!
Maybe the first one was for Halloween and they didn't have any Orange icing.
The best jokes are the ones you don't get until the second reading. For me today is was "Say again?" Hahaha
Thanks for the Friday funnies!
I don't know about that, Bea. That green one looks pretty nasty. The yellow might taste okay, if you like trans fat and sugar, but I'm pretty sure the green one would taste like green. As long as you're feeling adventurous, why not go for the black one?!
Oh Sharyn, Meatloaf with buttercream. That got the mental picture of the Birthday Iffer out of my head, but I really don't want anyone to draw it, even if he were wearing striped stockings!
The retirement cake looks like a baby shower cake. Oh well, at least it doesn't look like a tombstone ;).
Maybe Art's a law student
If only it said "historte."
*applauds "Why, aorta"*
excellent work!
Rixie's post got me to start reading everything in Sean Connery's voice, and now I can't stop. It's... not a bad thing, actually.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I am exhausted and must reiter.
No, no, no, sillies, that last one - you see, the word "Shing" is Chinese for something. Maybe a last name. Just because the rest of the cake speaks English, you assume EVERYTHING on it is....
A REIT is a Real Estate Investment Trust. I think that must be what the 2nd to last cake was referring to. Hope that was helpful.
Your trusted financial advisor,
John
Cake #4 should serve as a lesson; if you can't spell correctly, all your decorating work has been done in vein.
The comments are just as hilarious as the cakes. "Snort". Love this page. Hehehehehe!
The best bit, for me, is the fact that all the decorations on the "Soilder's" cake are... Um... Well... Brown...
I can never decide what bothers me most about wrecks - the fact that (most of them) they are slightly disturbing, or the fact that many people, having seen them STILL PAY for them and display them for their friends/family to see and eat!
OT: HaikuJoy, a few years ago when I was a TA at Flat State U, the powers-that-should-know-better said that we should ease off on the red pens and use other colors that would be "less damaging to the self-esteem of students." Papers bled to death in green, purple, turquoise, sparkly-pink, orange, and colors Nature never created. Oddly enough, student self-esteem did not seem to vary with the shade of pen used to correct, chastise, or remonstrate with their carelessness and/or ignorance. (TIP: SpellCheck is not always your friend!)
As to today's cakes: Dude, I'm spelling impaired and I could do better. Yeesh!
"SHING!" is the sound a sharp, high-quality knife makes when pulled out of the block. Obviously this cake was for a serial killer's wedding!
I thought everyone except people who live here knew it is spelled Orygone
Wait, was the "Fare Well" cake bought for the person that's being left behind? I guess that's kind of nice. "See you later, Shauna, we're leaving you so we can have fun with our organ, but before we go, here have some cake."
"Aorta"?! That bit of cleverness snuck up and clobbered me on the head, nicely done Jen!!
ZOOMOM!! That was the most awesome. (I have spoken.)
I think we're in a full DOC alert after the past few days.
I'm having the hardest time getting over the DISPLAY cake being misspelled as Histort. Is that an advertisement for that particular bakery's incompetence? Maybe they didn't want to do any more writing on cakes.
I miss that old "Organ Trail" videogame, where you live in the 19th century and have to eat squirrel kidneys to survive. Oh, wait...they meant "Oregon." I think. Great stuff! I love misspellings.
Wow, a diploma and mortar board for our Art Histort. I feel so prowd of our collage garduate.
Hey, Maybe Shauna is in the process of becoming Shaun and they're wishing her well on her final surgery: "Organ here we come!"
Lol. Man that soldier cake was so pretty until you realized they can't spell soldier to save their lives. Other than that the cake was pretty. As for the first cake does it have a R I P on the border? Lol if so don't enter there they plan to kill you!
I like Shing. That just made my day. lol But really they all cracked me up.
