Did I make you laugh? Do you shop Amazon? Then how about clicking through my affiliate link to shop? By visiting Amazon through that link, CW will earn a small percentage of your purchase - but it costs you nothing. NOTHING, I say!
(Our ad revenue has really tanked this month - John & I aren't even bringing in enough to cover any guest writers - so you'd be helping out the whole CW team with your click. Even better, you can help us every time you shop Amazon; just use the link we'll be providing at the end of each day's post.)
Together, we can achieve wrecky world domination!! Or at least keep our respective cats fed. Either way, s'all good. Thanks, guys!

Oh boy. I went to Wal-Mart (yes, I do shop there on occasion; stop throwing those tomatoes THIS instant!) and while I was there, decided to scope out their bakery for possible cupcake orders for Offsprings' birthday party on the 18th. They had decided they wanted cupcakes this year; not so hard, no? So I paged through the display book of what was available, and I swear to you, Cake #4 was there, EXACTLY AS JEN POSTED IT, a cake you could order, though why you'd WANT to is beyond me.
that wedding cake looks like the salt vampire/creature from that one star trek episode got a hold of it.

Does the Amazon link work for the UK? Also, just to share here, British Siri is a man, and he can't pronounce my name properly. There's a Forrest Gump feel to the 'i' at the end, for some reason. I can occasionally get him to tell me a story, or tell me what he's wearing. Fun times!
KarateLady, no worries and no obligations.
Cake wrecks is an important part of every day. It is always funny and a great counterpoint to the work place drudgery. I am happy to click through to amazon.
Thank you again for what you do. Wreck on!.
I'm mostly a lurker who needs a dailiy (or semi-hourly) laugh, but I want to tell you that not only did I use the Amazon link and bought a few things I bought your first book for my SIL because she kept looking at my copy. More for you, Jon and the cats!
@archersangel - True, but that salt creature craved *SALT*. Perhaps this horrendous act of cake/icing sucker-ing was committed by its cousin, the sugar vampire?! :-)
Actually, I'd love to know the back story on this one. I mean, if the bride asked for polka-dots, why not slap on some fondant circles? Additionally, some circles appear to be covering the ribbon on the bottom edges of the tiers, so care was definitely *not* taken here. Said circles have a distinct ring around the edge and appear to have icing removed from the center. Could be the result of a bad icing job, or of decorative dots (glass dots? photo buttons?) being applied & then removed (perhaps they started to fall/fail & the rest were swiftly yanked from public display). Hmmm...inquiring minds want to know... ;-) But no matter what caused this wreck, I think Trojan / condom cake is the best way to describe it...which then makes me wish I knew someone having a bachelorette party, cuz then I could bring her a cake with condoms all over it just for laughs! :-)
I as so excited by the title of this post! I guess the odds of an MST3K wreck aren't that good anymore... :)
@Karate Lady send me an email and I'll tell you the back story of Trojan cake
For the person asking what U07 means on the 2nd cake, it's most likely supposed to be U7, the age group of the team (under 7 years old). Unfortunately with the "grate" spelling on the rest of the cake, I thought they'd given up and started writing backwards!
So how does this Amazon thing work? Just follow the link and do my regular shopping? What about things that are already sitting in my cart waiting for me to check out? Do those count too?
It's *just* a game?
Is this *just* a game too?
