If Cake Croutons Become A Thing, I WANT CREDIT
November 27, 2014 It's Thanksgiving here in America, my friends, but ALL of us could stand to be more thankful for the little things in life.
Like turkeys giving birth to pilgrim hats:
;)
And old Halloween flotsam:
;)
For floating scarecrow heads:
;)
Desperate store managers trying to get rid of old stock:
;)
And spurting turkey cannons:
;)
For turkeys with exploding butts:
;)
("My bad.")
And sad pilgrim heads:
;)
For goobles:
;)
And gobles:
;)
And all those many, many Thanks Given:
;)
Not to mention all the bakers who actually think it's spelled that way.
For giant salads with cake croutons:
;)
(I dunno. But I like it.)
And for knowing that, while you can't polish a turd, you CAN stick a paper tail in it and call it a turd-key:
;)
But most of all, lets be thankful for our friends, our family, and for this guy:
;)
Because, c'mon, look at him.
LOOK AT HIM.
Happy Thanksgiving, wrecky minions! Now, go have some pie.
Also giving thanks for Shannon R., Marah S., Lucretia J., Chris H., Sabrina K., Lee V., Sarah S., Juanita G., Pamela T., Christopher F., James L., Tanya D., & Diane G. Gooble 'til ya drooble, guys.

Happy Thanksgiving, however it's spelled!
*hurk* I don't want to look at him anymore. Can I please stop now?
Wishing all wreckers a very happy Thanksgiving! Hope your bellies are full and your hearts are happy!
Happy Thanksgiving, U.S. people, and I'm thankful Canadian Thanksgiving is the 2nd Monday in October when the trees are beautifully coloured, pumpkins are in the fields, and there is no "black Friday" and football insanity to spoil the day.
You can HAVE the CREDIT for Cake-Croutons-As-A-Thing, Jen, and I'll raise (heh heh) you one turdy poo wang.
WITH sprinkles! Just be certain that they ARE sprinkles-- I'm pretty sure I saw a mouse scurrying around that "cake croutons" platter. =^0.o^=
Yup I called it a couple of days ago!
Happy Turkey/Tofurky/Turd-Key day Y'all!
PS Please support Natalie Dubose who the owner of Natalie Cake and More whose business was severely vandalized by rioting vandals during this past week rioting in Furguson Missouri by going online on the website GoFundMe to help Natalie get her business back on track for the upcoming holiday season.
Thank You.
...and mighty thankful for CW! First belly laugh of the day and WITHOUT alcoholic fortification! Long time minion; CW and Epbot are high up in my list of things that make life better.
Happy Thanksgiving, Cake Wrecks friends!
Jen and John, you probably don't hear it enough, so, "Thanks!" Thanks for working a holiday. Thanks for the YEARS of laughs (longtime reader). Thanks for Epbot. Thanks for sharing. Your work (and humor) are appreciated.
I'm thankful for the entire CW crew and commenters who without fail start my day off with a great big smile or an even bigger belly laugh. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I remember carving the Thanksgiving Elephant, my chainsaw was never the same afterwards.
Cake croutons could actually be tasty. If they were toasted pound cake cubes in a chopped salad. But not entire decorated cupcakes in a sea of romaine.
Thank you dear Jen, John (thoJ), Sharyn and all the rest of the CW crew. Thank you fellow commenters for all your wonderful and humorous quips, quotes and observations...and thanks to everyone who has ever rewritten a song just for us fans here at Cake Wrecks, our go-to spot daily for smiles, cheers, jeers and hearty guffaws. I am so glad to have discovered this blog back in "odd nine", it's been a great part of my daily routine since then.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here. Gooble til you wooble, then fall on the couch and take a nap. We are having rum soaked pumpkin bread for "brunch" in a few minutes, with whipped cream on top...
Happy Falker Thankserhood to all! Now I have to get back to basting my elephant.
No. 1: All I can hear is "Push!!!"
No. 2: Is that cookie left over from Halloween, too?
Happy Thanksgiving, wrecky friends!
Many things to give thanks for today, and Cake Wrecks, Jen, John, Sharyn and all the wonderful commenters are near the top of my list. I start every day with laughter brought on by the cakes, the songs, the comments, and the warmth of the community of Cake Wrecks.
Read the caption, tried to attach an object to a "Gooble", couldn't figure it out, then looked at the photo and busted out laughing! This is my favorite website of all time. Jen, your sense of humor is great! Keep up the good work. We are thankful for YOU, Jen and John!
I think Gooble is the website that has all of the Thanksgiving and turkey info, right?
Those are pathetic. Happy Turkey day
Ah, yes, Thanksgiving, that one day a year we celebrate the war between turkeys and pilgrims as illustrated in cake #1. Obviously the pilgrims won when they somehow figured out how to make the turkeys lay buckled hats instead of eggs. And so a tradition continues...
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I once bought a Pilgrim’s Hat and the tag inside said “Made in Turkey.” Thanks for clearing that up. Happy Thanksgiving today (or retrospectively, if Canadian), or Thursday! Now, off to have some mashed potatoes, gravy, and a small slice of ladybug…..
Happy Thanksgiving CW crew and I hope that your dinner doesn't include a turd-key:)
The light reflecting off the plastic dome on that last turd-key cake allllmost looks like steam rising from the fresh...err...turd. The things my eyes cannot unsee. Happy Thangsgivenmasacuh one and all.
Those black and white "animal" cupcakes look like the sheep from Dave and the Giant Pickle ("They tip over.").
Many, many thanks to Jen, John, and the rest of the CW team for making us smile, giggle, LOL and getting songs stuck in our heads every day. You guys are awesome! :)
Thanks Given for Jen, John (thoj), the whole CW crew, and all my fellow wreckies. CW is the best and never ceases to bring a smile and a laugh.
"Elephants, monkeys, and ladybugs, oh my!"
Just FYI, you can indeed polish a turd. Mythbusters has proved it. Hope knowing that only adds to the joy of your Thanksgiving :D

I think that poor pilgrim is sad because his hat is so small.
Well I was stuffed until I saw these cakes..bleh. So glad I ate earlier before I saw the horrors. So glad also that I had a pie for dessert.. cause who can really wreck a pie?
I was going to send you a picture of one of those awful cakes shaped like a turkey roast with the nasty spray-paint orange icing, but the deli actually sold them all before I could!
Nice blog :D it's always a pleasure to read your articles, thanks for sharing!
Ah. I beg to differ. You CAN polish a turd, and Mythbusters will back me up on that!
Anybody else think the GOBLE GOBLE turkey looks like he's sitting cross-legged while wearing a straight jacket?
no?
just me?
carry on then.
Where did Unik Cakes go?
[Editor's note- Oh, ya know how it is. "How dare you send thousands of potential customers to our site by making light-hearted jokes about our rather silly name?! We're (dramatic breath) OFFENDED!!! Takest thine post down with haste ye swarthy naves or I shalt bringest a lawsuit upon thee!!!!!" I love my job. -john (the hubby of Jen)]
Ah the joys of looking at this post again.. and dying of laughter. I so love your site and hope you and Jon had a great Thanksgiving!
Oh. Okay. You didn't have a Friday Faves prepared, or you were busy eating turkey?
Re: Andrea's comment:
Well, that's really too bad. Not to mention plain silly.They (unmentionable bakery) might at least have thought about all of the FREE PUBLICITY they could have gotten! Some folks just can't take a joke even if you were to put a collar and a leash on it and walk it around the block for them. As some Shakespearean character might or might never have said: "A pox on all of their bakeries!"
;alskdjf;lkasjpoiwehjnsd;lasn;dvjkn;asdn;vihasdf
I can't believe nobody has yet commented on the turkey spurting white... goo... of some sort. ...from a thing that doesn't look quite as phallic as the thing next to it.
Are you sure that sixth picture ("My bad." caption) isn't one of Hagrid's Blast-Ended Skrewts from Harry Potter's Hogwarts?
The weird thing about No. 4 is none of the display cakes looks like an elephant, monkey, ladybug OR turkey.
At first I thought the yellow rose/sheet number said "Happy ThanksGIMME'." So sad to realize that I was wrong. I think "ThanksGIMME'" should be the next big thing after cake croutons.
BTW, I don't know if this has been shared here before, but did you know that there's a bona fide exploitation flick about a junkie who turns into a blood-lusting were-turkey after he eats mutated turkey flesh? No lie. It's called "BLOOD FREAK" and can be found on YouTube. Recommended only if you have boundless patience and don't mind fakey but lovingly (and ineptly) shot murder scenes. (Also, Seventies fashions.) Maybe everyone here just takes that kind of thing in stride after seeing so many failed cakes, though. Cheers.
Do I spy a subtle "Freaks" reference?
"Gooble, goble! Gooble, goble! One of us! One of us!"
Definitely fitting for these freakish turkeys!
Is that "pilgrim" really a scarecrow wearing a too-small hat? Maybe that's why he's sad. Poor pumpkin-headed scarecrow pilgrim...
In the spirit of family and their reactions to posts, I share this:
My dog just hopped up on my lap, deposited an empty tampon box and burped.
He struggles with staying relevant.
