July 31, 2015 Some of my favorite new submissions this week.
It took me entirely too long to realize this IS in English:

Spacing: the Final Frontier of Wreckerating
Judging by the CW Facebook page, I see I've trained you wrecky minions well:
;)
Ahh, THE SNARK IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE.
I approve.
And just in time for Cheesecake Day (which was yesterday):
;)
(Btw, if it's been a while since you've seen my FB updates, here's a new & easy fix: on the CW page, under "Liked" at the top, click "See First." You'll never miss the wrecky lolz again!)
;)

At first I thought it was a hot dog.
Then maybe a bowel re-section.
Now I just want to stop looking at it:
;)
Somebody help me stop looking at it.
To quote JoAnna, who sent this in, "Mmmm, rope fibers!"
;)
And I agree, JoAnna; the clumps of gold glitter really DO make it extra "beachy."
And finally, while not professional, this made me laugh out loud:
;)
Video game-specific apology cakes? YES, PLEASE.
Heck, I think this should become a trend. A few more suggestions:
"Sorry I Played Skyrim For 6 Weeks Straight"
"Sorry I Won't Play Portal Co-Op With You Because You're Better At It And It's Annoying"
"Sorry For Beating Your High Score On Angry Birds"
"Sorry I Woke You Up At 3AM Because BioShock Was Scary"
"Sorry I Keep Talking To Claptrap" (WUB WUB!)
Thanks to Nancy E., Kristen F., Annie B., Ashley R., JoAnna H., & Anony M. for the beat-boxin' giggles.

Look closely at the extra beachy fiber rich cake photo. Obviously, this cake spent the entire winter covered in snow and was only found after the spring thaw. It was probably quite beautiful in November when it was first purchased. I know I didn't look so great after being holed up last winter. Let's cut this one a little slack.

Here's another for "Video game-specific apology cake"
"Sorry for destroying your village on Samurai Seige" and "Sorry for killing you on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas".
"Sorry for killing all those Wookies, but I was Darth Vader and there was an AWARD for it...."
What is that red spot under the HOMECO-MiNG cake? What cakey horror will be revealed to the poor soul who makes the first cut? Or perhaps the cake is meant to conceal a homecoming homicide:
Oh no, I missed a spot!
No problem, I'll just set this white cake over it.
Hmm, not quite big enough... I know! I'll add some red "gel" on top to help it blend in!
My ex owes me this apology cake: "I'm sorry I fell in love with a girl I met in World of Warcraft, but I'm hoping you'll take me back because when I met her IRL she was actually a guy."
I, too, want to but can't stop looking at "it" and "it"creeps me out, not just visually but intellectually. My brain keeps pulling up all the Files of Horror, Real and Imagined and there is NOTHING to reference. What in God's holy handshake is it!!!?
We may never know.
And BTW, having grown up on a farm I can say with some certainty" DO NOT bring that rope into the house to wrap around your sister's cake! " Ah, i can still hear Mom's voice.
Have a good weekend.
That last one actually looks half decent, if a little too light on the icing. Maybe we'd all be better off getting our cakes done at home.
"Sorry I didn't warn you about the creeper who was about to blow up your Minecraft house."
Sorry for blowing up your Minecraft castle.
A bad p0rn sex cake.
Hot dog in giant bun with
Mustard and "poo-chup."
"I'm not sorry I opened the "Love Box" on you during Next Tetris." (Love box = video game trash talk - because you can only pull out the best trash talk on the ones you love. And once the Love Box has been opened...)
I want to see the cake from the guy who sedated his girlfriend so he could keep playing video games. http://time.com/3950627/video-games-sedatives-drugged-girlfriend/
So the beach themed cake has real rope and real shells. That leads me to assume (dangerous though it may be) that the sand is also real . . .
So, it seems that the "floating" ANAVERSERY cake (there appears to be a foot underneat it) may have a cousin whose name was similar in color and style... Does "RedRum...RedRum" ring any bells to anyone?
=^x.x^=
It's a little scary to me that the most well-executed cake with the best handwriting is actually the homemade one that was probably done with canned frosting and one of those decorator tubes in the cake mix aisle. That girl might actually be able to handle real buttercream & pastry bags.
Homeco, the 2013th clone of Ming the Merciless, and Eirc the Evil celebrate their birthdays. Yeah, can't stop looking at the goo coming out from beneath the first cake. Does anyone else hear the 'hanging tree' song when looking at the beach cake?
Eric must like smurfs, or just excrement.
@s.marie: don't worry, those sea shells are probably soap, so it all balances out in the end. hehe.
I'm not sure putting the idea of gritty sand in a persons head just before eating a cake is a good idea, even if the awful ropes hadn't already ruined it.
"Honorable Daughter, do not shame your family by changing your name. You were named after Honorable Grandmother Ming."
Actually, Homeco Ming™ pottery has become quite collectible. The Homeco company produced many pieces sold by first horse or Dì mǎ stores like Wu Wǎt's and Kǎgá Rèzgǐ's (so called because of their reputation for closing shop and taking the first horse out of the village as soon as people realized how crummy the goods were). The earlier 15th - 16th century pieces were domestically produced. Late 16th and 17th century works were imported by Spanish and Portuguese traders, leading many Chinese to remark disparagingly, "Look at the stuff you get now. They're Ming vases, but they all say 'Made in America'." The Homeco company is still in business, but the Ming™ works are no longer produced, having been replaced by the People's Democratic Dictatorship® and the Central Military Pottery Commission® lines.
Video Game Apology Cake for my son:
"Sorry I beat you so badly in Mario Kart when you were five. I see how frustrating it is to lose every game and run myself off the road every two feet now that I am old and my hand-eye coordination is shot. But thanks for not being too much of a sore winner now that the shoe is on the other foot."
I'm gonna need a bigger cake.
; - )
Sorry I Konged your Donkey?
(I'm old -- I remember having to leave my house and hoard quarters to play these games.)
OMG, you have a facebook page, too? There go more well-spent minutes of my day. Going hunting now.
Never apologies for talking to Claptrap.
If that really is a hot dog it appears to have ketchup AND mustard on it which makes it the wreckiest one of all.
I don't get it. As a baker, we always show customers the cake before they leave the shop. There have been a few times where a name is spelled wrong. and you know what? It takes all of 2 minutes to scrap it off and re-write it. How do these even end up getting photographed?! Shame.
"Sorry for killing your Minecraft character because I thought you were a zombie."
"Sorry my GuildWars monk healed the River Skale Queen instead of you."
"Sorry for taking your high-level Wizardry party down to level 8 and losing them there when the babysitter turned off the computer." (I wish I'd thought to give my Dad a cake for that one 30+ years ago!)
Lol that Mario Kart one could apply to me. I do tend to get rather salty when I get run off the road for the thousandth time lol. Even managed to shock the husband and that is no small feat lol.
In reference to the "vampire that can't spell" cake: hooked on phonics worked for me!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who screamed (out loud, not just in my head) while playing BioShock.
If Kristen told them over the telephone what to write on the cake, she's lucky she didn't get
Happy Birthday Eirc with a C
(I know several Eriks.)
Never be sorry for talking to Claptrap
I can't stop looking at what appears to be my patient's stool sample from yesterday.
