Leave Blank Space, Baby
February 23, 2015 I figure the only way I'm going to get rid of this earworm is by giving it to you guys. So...
Hit it!
So, it's gonna be forever
;)
Or it's gonna go down in flames.
;)
You can tell me when it's over,
;)
If the high was worth the pain.
;)
Got a long list of ex-lovers!
;)
They'll tell you...
;)
I'm insaaaane.
But I got a blank space, baby...
;)
And I'll write your name!
;)
Toe-tapping thanks to Lindsay W., Meredith G., Daisy S., Telitha G., Sheri T., Geneva W., Christine S., and Elisabeth T. You know I'll love you guys forever, don't you?

I still contend that the line "Got a long list of ex-lovers" sounds more like "Got along with Starbuck's lovers"
Perhaps I was a wreckerator in a previous life…
Otherwise, those cats are nightmare inducing.
Cakes #4 & 6...WTF?!?!?!?!?😱😩😵😲
Regarding the "blank space" cake: My husband's family (and many of our friends that he brought to the marriage,) have a tradition of smearing the birthday person's name on the cake after they blow out the candles. I never saw this before I met him and I still don't know why they do this. No one seems to have an answer. Come to think of it, they're all from Long Island - maybe that explains it. Anyway, maybe this cake is the result of overly enthusiastic name smearing on the part of some residents of Massapequa.
Pretty sure I'm glad I don't know that song...
@Fluffy Cow: I thought it was, "Got a lot of Starbucks lovers." Thank goodness for Google.
I've got several family members to send cake #3 to
On the last cake -- is that a bat'lef?
That poor little sprinkle pet in cake no 4 looks so sad. I need to bring him home and pet him.
Second cake: mmm, roasted roses and ladybugs for lunch! Yummy!
Thanks a lot @Sharyn. My sleep deprived brain just needed one more thing.
What is that flaming thingy even supposed to be???
I love Cake Wrecks always have always will in lime green frosting.
Hey Jen and john (thoJ), have you seen this? http://www.rd.com/slideshows/bad-cake-decorating/?trkid=ppc-outbrain-all#slideshow=slide1
The #2 cake photo credit says it's a "vday volcano with flowers and ladybugs". Nice to know; I was thinking that it was an ad for hemorrhoid cream. (Good thing it's not-- I had to fix my spelling of "hemorrhoid" three times; just imagine what a good quality wreckorator could do with it!)
7th wreck's credit is pointing a messy finger at the bakery, with "grandpa'sbirthdaybakerremovedwriting."
The #8 cake is a "genericnamebday"... Yay! It's Generic Name Day, so get this cake for your..er...whomever/whatever. ("Ask for it by name!") =^0.o^=
I'm just as well satisfied that I don't know this song, makes it much less earwormy. :P
"Got a long list of ex-lovers!"
Thank you! I hear that song on the radio sometimes when I'm in the car and I could never figure out what that line was. I was guessing "Gotta ask all my ex-lovers."
Great post, awful cakes...shake it off.
Ha HA HA :D
As a former latinist, I too love "fovere," ESPECIALLY in lime green fresting.
What the heck are those things on cake 6 supposed to be? I can see the Armless Turd Monster, who is stalking the Angry Yellow-handed Snow Blob & the Zombie Bear... Here in the UK, it's approaching bedtime & I'm going to have nightmares now!
Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya
I once loved someone in lime green frosting...but it didn't last.
SuBee -- perhaps smearing the name on the cake is apotropaic, to prevent watching demons from bringing ill luck to the person whose name has just been tunelessly sung. Same principle as wishing an actor to break a leg.
@SuBee -- Sorry, I'm a Long Islander (not too far from Massapequa), and I've never heard of any tradition like that. Then again, I don't get out much.
@SuBee and Bob, I'm also from Long Island although waaaaaayyy out east. We never smeared names on cakes. But our high school football mascot was a clamdigger which we thought was perfectly normal, so I guess that counts for something.
@FluffyCow, those things are cats on cake #6?? How exactly??
It says RIGHT ON THE CAKE "lime green frosting..." and it's written in SCARLET RED!!! Do these remedials even know such a thing as reading EXISTS???
Happy Birthday to what's-her-name!! :D
Hey, if love in lime green frosting is what you're into, then who am I to judge?
I thought it said, gotta ask the starbuck lovers. ....
awesome post by the way!
Love the insane cake. I think they're bears.
Of all the 50 shades of green, lime is my favorite!
#4: because nothing says "I love you" like... a dismembered dog lying in a pool of blood?
Really not sure what message that could possibly be intended to convey.
Is it awful of me that at first glance I thought the banner on the last one was a fish?
Cake #7 (Blank Space) is a common practice of smearing the name before cutting the cake. It's a superstition, as to not cut through the person's name, and jinxing their year
I'm still defending that last cake. I don't consider it a wreck at all. The banners and stars are plastic and completely customizable, and the decorator was obviously trying to hint at that. "Name" is where your child's name is supposed to go, and "Name" can easily be wiped off and replaced with whatever name you like.
