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? ;)

Blink 182 And You'll Miss It

Brian J. wanted his baker to make him a Blink 182 cake.

Specifically, this Blink 182 cake:

Yeah.

This is Cake Wrecks.

That's probably not gonna happen.

Instead, this happened:

A picture of a Blink 182 cake... on a cake.

 

But can we take this farther?
Yes.
YES WE CAN.

How about a picture of a Blink 182 cake... on a cake... on a shirt?

 

Then a picture of a Blink 182 cake...
on a cake
on a shirt
on Blink 182:

Yeeeah. Now we're cookin'.

 

But just to bring it back full circle:

A picture of a Blink 182 cake...
on a cake
on a shirt
on Blink 182
ON A CAKE.

My work here is done.

 

Thanks to Brian J., who's probably wondering if I wrote this just so Jen and I could call this cake a business expense.

Yes.
Yes I did.
(Shhh. It's tax season. LET ME HAVE THIS.)

In The Daze Of "Your"

It's National Grammar Day, everyone! A day when we, the grammar police, can correct our friends' Facebook updates, argue over the Oxford comma, and let our irritated snorts of disdain echo from the rooftops!

So today, I thought it might be fun to see how many misspellings and misuses of the word "your" I can show you before your head literally explodes.*

*Yes, literally. I once saw it happen during an argument over the word "alright."

 

BEGIN!

Oooh, starting with a classic.

 

This one always smarts.
Or should I say, "dumbs?"
[self-righteous chuckle]

 

Now we're coming to the really dangerous, head-exploding stuff:

Ouch.

 

...the pain...

 

[clutching head and rolling on floor]

 

STOP!!! I can't take any more!!

 

Quick, someone show me an adorable misuse of an ordinal number!

Awww, look. It says, "Happy tooth birthday Lily!"

Crisis averted.
(Though technically, it's still missing a comma....)

 

Thanks to Toby H., Katy J., Trevor N., Anony M., Laura B., Anony 2, & Jennifer A. for helping us all get our grammar geek on.
