Or go straight for the mini pies?

Mini-pie cupcakes, that is. The "cherries" are M&Ms!
So clever, it makes my brain hurt a little.
Well, whether you're spending this weekend catching some waves:

I hope my fellow Americans will keep in mind why we get the long weekend,

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of you at Cake Wrecks! And to the wreck-creators, wreckporters, and to everyone else -like me-who just loves to laugh! Be safe, and have fun!

That Friends cake is da bomb.
Nice cupcake cakes!
Let us remember the ones who made The Ultimate Sacrifice to keep us and our country safe and let's thank a Vet for their service.
Here in the UK its also a Bank Holiday on Monday for Whitsun (Pentecost)
I totally finished my Friends binge last night! AwesomecakesQ
What is the "blue lipstick" on the Friends cake? I zoomed in and still can't read it.
Nicely done tribute to the start of summer AND to the real reason for the long weekend. That last cake with the flag and eagle is beautifully/tastefully executed.
Loved that they used Pirolines/chocolates filled wafers for bamboo on the Surf Cake
Fantastic! I am totally stealing the mini-pie with M&Ms idea, though I know mine will never be so lovely.
Thanks for remembering the reason with the last cake.
Rose (and anyone else curious), I couldn't remember what the blue lipstick was either so I had to look it up. It's Ichiban: Lipstick for Men. Joey starred in the commercial in Japan. Very cute little detail on that cake!
The blue lipstick is Ichiban, it was a men's lipstick commercial Joey did in Japan.
Rose, the lipstick is Ichiban for men. Joey did a commercial in Japan for it In one episode.
That flag cake is gorgeous.
Thanks for saving the best for last. Special thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those who served alongside them.
@Rose, it's "itchiban" "lipstick for men" from Joey's Japanese commercial. :)
Those pie cupcakes are super cute but I can't imagine biting into that many m&m's! Love the Friends cake too!
Thanks to all those in the military who keep us safe and free.
I like the Friends cake, but the surfboard cake is gorgeous.
Gorgeous last cake. Had to watch the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS tonight...great stuff, as always.
Here's the first baker's Flickr photostream: Maria Michael; interesting that someone would ask a baker of vegan cakes to do a hot dog cake...and apparently someone ordered a burger cake from her as well.
As someone who works in a popular wilderness park and has to work Saturday, Sunday and Monday, I DREAD the three-day weekend.
I am also angry with John Alexander Logan for having a more fabulous moustache than I could ever hope to have.
