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? ;)

We-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-we....

What does

A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh
A wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh, a wimoweh

 

In the bakery, the mega bakery

Hawaiians weep tonight


In the bakery, the mega bakery

Hawaiians scream in fright.

 

A-weeee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... flip-flop dismaaaaay.


A-weee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... Those. Aren't. Okaaaaay.

 

Near the village, there's lava spillage

They may not last the night...


Near the village, the gummies pillage

Hawaiians flee their plight.

 

A-weeee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... beach disarraaaaaay.

 

A-weee-e-e-e-eeeeee...

... throw that awaaaaay.

 

[wailing and instrumental solo]

 

Hush my darling, don't dare, my darling

That pineapple's not right...


Hush my darling, don't stare, my darling

HAWAIIANS WEEP TONIGHT.

HEP HEP!

English Done Good!

When I first saw that today is English Language Day, my first thought was, "Huh. Do we really need a day for that?"

Then I saw this cake congratulating a team on a "Tennifer Seasons."

(Is there a translator in the house?)

So yes, past Jen from 10 minutes ago, apparently we DO need an English Language Day.

 

After all, it's one thing to be able to write in English, but another thing entirely to understand it.

Le sigh.

Happy English Language day, ya filthy logophiles. May your many and varied intercourses be ever enlightening.

 

And thanks to Christy C., Ken, Alan & Jennifer, Libby S., Kate H., Lina E., & Leigh S. for going over the top.
