Some of my favorite new submissions this week.

Further proof that talent and common sense aren't always a package deal:

Now if only it said "CREST HERE" on the left.

John's taken over e-mail submission duties here at CW, and speaking of "duties..."
... yesterday he named this file, "pretty much just poop.jpg"

NAILED IT.

("Cake Wrecks: Keeping It Prefessional Since 2008")

I'm sorry, everyone; I know poop jokes are classless and in poor taste.

So here, have an Awkward Ninja Turtle Erection:

BOOYAKASHA!

(I'm not sure who looks more horrified: me or him.)

One of my Grammar Police friends recently posted a Facebook mini-rant about the word "alright" - which I, personally, have no problem with.*

[*Yeah, I said it. COME AT ME, BRO.]

The very next day was my friend's birthday, so I found her the perfect cake from our archives:

It went over so well, I think everyone should do this for their grammar-loving friends!

I also recommend writing something like, "Its you're birthday! Irregardless, do'nt loose ur kool, Ok?"

And finally, for you bakers out there: this is why you should be careful what you post on Facebook:

Ouch.

Thanks to Regina F., Doug M., Sharlyn W., Andrea C., & Anony M., who all know Facebook is really only good for thought-provoking political discussions.

Some of my favorite new submissions this week:

You'll never guess what kind of party this cake was for. NEVER.

Unless maybe you can read.

Eric A. reports that someone is taking a bite INTO crime at his local grocery store:

And I shouldn't be finding this quite so funny, should I.

(Hey, we've all been there, random drive-by cake eater. We've all been there.)

Think Big Bakery doesn't read this blog? WELL THEY DO. Proof: they've finally agreed with me that most bakers can't even pipe a simple balloon, and have started providing plastic ones instead.

But don't you worry, guys: where there's a wreckerator, there's a wreck:

"They just have to add strings," they said.
"It'll be easy," they said.
"No WAY anyone could foul that up," they said.

Now, I know that Easter has already come and gone, but... hey, actually, that's a pretty good segue for this:

WHAT.

Suzanne assures me this is exactly how her "Easter Bread" looked straight out of the package. I don't know what they were going for - besides the obvious - but it certainly rose to the occasion, no matter how you slice it. (Maybe a cross? Thor's hammer? A bug-eyed, one-eared bunny? [....and now that's ALL you see. Ha!])

Note how I resisted making any egg jokes, you guys. NOTE IT.

And finally, over on Facebook a while back I shared this fun Godzilla Princess cake that ThinkGeek posted:

Well, CW reader David got a big kick out of it, and put in a request with his friends. But then, "they went one better," he says, "and had an even awesomer one made for my birthday."

I think Dave's right, you guys; this is pretty epic:

Hee!

May your weekend be as fun as a dino in a dress, everybody.

And thanks to Bethany P., Eric A., Taryn F., Suzanne C., & David E. for the Cinderella Toy Story.
