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? ;)

Giving A Whole New Meaning To "Stiff Drink"

Happy Alcohol Screening Day, minions!

Now.

::adjusting hypothetical glasses that I *could* be wearing; YOU DON'T KNOW::

Let's begin.

 

What would you say is your greatest weakness?

Mm-hm, mm-hmmmm. I see.

 

Are you especially detail-oriented? Or do you focus on the bigger picture?

Yikes, get a hold of yourself, mate! YOU CAN HANDLE THIS.

Moving on...

 

When do you find you work best?

Yeah. Kinda figured.

 

Would you say you're generally happy with where you are in life?

Cool.
Cool cool cool.

::scribbling furiously on notepad without breaking eye contact::

 

Do you ever find yourself getting, how should I put this... "salty?"

Oh, no reason... just... curious.

 

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

[....]

Well I appreciate your honesty.

 

And finally, when things get hard, are you able to take a firm hand? Can you suck it up and get the job done?

Ohh, ballsy answer.

I like it.

Well, I've just now decided we're moving in a completely different direction, but thanks for coming in!

 

And thanks to Erica, Missy N., Telch, Anna R., Christy H., Justin J., & Danielle M. for giving a whole new meaning to "stiff drink."

Heyooooo.

LOLZ To The Maxx

So there's a Disney cartoon about 3 kids who turn into superheroes when they put on their pajamas.
It's called PJ Masks:

See? Not making this up.

As you might imagine, this show has a lot of young fans, including 3-year-old Sunsara, who asked for a PJ Masks cake for her birthday.

 

MEANWHILE, on the other side of our story, there's me, working my first-ever job as a cashier/shoe department associate manager at a discount department store chain.

(I loved that job.)

(Which has nothing to do with our story; I just felt like sharing.)

Now, here's where little Sunsara and I have our backstories collide in the wreckiest of fashions:

 

Ready?

 

Did you already guess?

 

If so, GOLD STARS.

 

Almost there now!

 

TA-DAAAAAA!

I'm torn between feeling sorry for Sunsara and laughing with delight, because dang, that's a good TJ Maxx logo. Right? It's the Obama Llama all over again! Hee!

Here's hoping Sunsara's mom took her shopping after this and they found some awesome, discounted PJs.

 

Thanks to Lereas for helping me re-live my days of glory in retail. And hey, everyone else, PUT AWAY THE SHOES AFTER YOU TRY THEM ON. What, were you raised in a barn filled with randomly strewn shoes? Don't you make me come over there and tidy up, because I. WILL. DO IT.
