What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Someone Bring Me A Sammich! (But Not This One.)

It's my birthday today - have I said?
So one wonders why I'm out of bed.
Well, can't be a bad host
You'll be wanting a post!
Here, have some gummis and bread:

"Meals in Minutes," it says, oh how witty!
The earthworms are ever so pretty
And look, how divine!
Just $9.99!
A bargain for chefs who cook... um...

...badly.

 

Thank you to Britanie E.,
who really should probably see,
How much else I could say,
For Limerick Day,
But it's my birthday and I'm going back to bed, dammit.

Happiest of solar returns to you, dear Jen! You share your birthday with such other notables as Tony Hawk, Florence Nightingale, Wilfrid Hyde-White (for the uber-geeks), and George Carlin. Mr. Carlin is the only one who even comes close to having given us such hysterical, sometimes painful, laughs. But we have CAKE!

Here's hoping you have your cake and eat it, too, and no wrecks are involved.

Happy Birthday, Jen! I'm not the talented kind to be able to write limericks or twisted song lyrics. But I am fairly adept at birthday posts in general. :)

I hope you had a fantastic day and that John totally spoiled you!

xo :)

Ugh. I've attempted about three times a neato-keen limerick, but the creative juices are not flowing.

Happy birthday, Jen! Thank you for all the laughs (and Sweets) you bring us throughout the year. We all appreciate your hard work and special brand of snarkiness. :)

P.S. - Drat. Just realized my birthday's on a Saturday, so no CW post that day.

Happy Birthday, fellow Birthday person! A limerick for you:
There once was a baker named Enis...

Hmm. No, on second thought I'll just give this one a miss.

I still don't understand WHY someone would want to get a cake because they got "2 in the pink 1 in the stink" aka "The Shocker"!
