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? ;)

John's Birthday Suit

It's my birthdy! And by "my" I mean it's john (the hubby of Jen)'s birthay. Granted, I don't usually speak of myself in the third person (unless I'm in the midst of seduction [which, admittedly, rarely works (but John never knows unless he tries!)])...but...um...where was I?

Oh, yeah: It's my birhday!

I originally wanted to write about those Canadian Nazi carrots you can buy at Epcot, but then I figured I'd just show you a bunch of misspelled cakes, so my own misspellings look international. Because I'm crazy like that. And giving. Yep, John's a giver.

[eyebrow waggle]

Look! A misspelling!

I believe it's spelled "Shirk." And since I did avoid seeing the last movie, this kind of works.

Isn't this called an oxymaroon?

Although if you roll the "r" while reading it out loud, you'll sound just like Sherk! Go on. Try it.

See what I mean? Now, all together: "Grrrreet job, don-kay!"

This one also seems a little contradictionary:

"Stop that right this second! Don't make me pull this event over!"

And since you long-time Wreckies know how fond I am of Earth Day cakes...


Listen! Do you smell Epcot?

And finally, this is not a cake, but I've gotta say...

...I pay way more for Jen's pasties.

Hm? What's this? Jen's telling me "pasties" are also British meat pies.

John thinks she's trying to tell him something. [eyebrow waggle]

John also would like to know why Jen rolls her eyes so much.

And now, because it's my brithday, I want to give you something special. Yes, that's right: John wants to give you something.

[duckface]

[Barry White music]

Awwww yeahhh. Mmmmmmm, baaaby. John knows what you want:

Cake Wrecks stuff!

So, leave me a comment, and I'll pick the sexiest two to win personalized copies of Cake Wrecks. (I'll even let Jen sign 'em.) The next sexiest two will win Cake Wrecks wall calendars.

In fact, because I'm such a giver, we're going to give stuff away every day this week, with even *more* give-aways on Facebook. Who loves me? Who is it? Oh yeah, it's you. Mmmhmmm. Happy briday to ME.

Check tomorrow's post for the winner's names, and also for your next chance to win stuff. Also watch the CW Facebook page this week for more chances to win exclusive CW pin packs and assorted goodies.

There's nothing sexier than pasties in the morning. Do you think $2 hookers can afford $1 pasties? Just askin.....

Happy birthday John! *eyebrow waggle*

As a Canadian, I am deeply concerned about these Canadian Nazi carrots being sold by Epcot! Haha. However, as a Canadian, I am required by our politeness laws to never mention it in a disapproving tone of voice.

Happy Brithday with
"Sprinkles" on "Top"

Excellent post as usual. May your birthday cake be non-wrecky and, more importantly, DELICIOUS.

I thought they were supposed to be sexy posts..... in which case, notably, the Marilyn Monroe thing to "Mr. President" coincidentally, also a John, has been done. hrmph.

So I'm just gonna say can I win please just so I can donate it to my library where the copy of your book-which I convinced them to buy-has been "lost"....aka someone stole it and now no one else gets to love it. Also hrmph. (for the record, it wasnt' me, I already have my own copy).

Happy Birthday John and a bow-chicka-wow wow to you!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterA.J.

Oh good grief, John. I now have images of exotic dancers wearing British meat pies dancing through my brain.

Happy Birthday!

Q: What are the sexiest animals on the farm?

A: Brown-Chicken-Brown-Cow
(said in 'bow-chicka-bow-wow' type of way)

My farmer friends love this joke :) Happy Birthday John!

John, Jen is a lucky woman. She has a man who loves cake, puns, and power tools. Now that's sexy!

I got engaged on Saturday, and am getting married in July. A cake-wrecks book or calendar would give me some great ideas of what not to do for the wedding!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChantelle

There's got to be some perfectly wrecked day of the dead cakes out there, right?

Oh yeah, and happy birthday. =D

Happy birthday to you,
Squashed tomatos and stew,
Bread and butter in the gutter,
Happy Birthday to you!

A nice British version for you. On the British note, Cornish Pasties are lovely meat filled pastry which the miners used to take down the mines for lunch. They even had a fruit filled end for 'dessert'! I have no idea what Jen's pasties are like but I hope they have the same grab handles that the Brits ones do!!!! ;-)

To go international for your birthday, here is my rendition of a French birthday wish Cake Wrecks style (and I'm sorry to my high school French teacher in advance): "Bone Onnyvaresayre John. (in script with sprinkles)" oddly enough, that kinda sounds like it would go well with some birthday pasties! (grrr) ;) Happy Birthday!

Hapy Birday Jon! :)

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMaisyday

Happity Burfday John!! Jen is soooo very lucky to have you as a husband she should buy you some pasties for your birthday. I am from michigan and pasties are meat pies. Although if you are not familiar with this and see a sign that reads "king Arthur's Pasties"..It makes you wonder what exactly he is wearing under that robe?????? Have a fun filled day with Jen..I am sure you can think of something to do. ;)

In the perpetual land of cake wrecks, they were forced to eat Robin's pasties. And there was much rejoicing. Yay!

HapE Burfday!

Here's a birthday joke for you!

What's the difference between light and hard?

You can make love with the LIGHT off...

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week... try the fish!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCarly

The real trick is getting the pasties to spin in opposite directions...

If you can manage that with the pork ones it's nothing short of hypnotic!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterForgotMyGingko

Buying pasties from a bakery....Well, Maybe they'd taste better than those edible underwear!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterStiletto

SEXIEST comment. Oh, and happy birthday to John!

*boom-chik-a-wow-wow*
John's eyebrow might get him into trouble one day, waggling like that. My cakes are all a-quiver over here!
Happy Anniversary of Your Natal Day, John, and use that eyebrow waggle with caution!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterChef Christy

The laughter that is occurring in my cubicle right now might get me in trouble, but I'll take that risk! Happy Birthday John!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterkek

With all due respect to Jen, happy birthday to the sexiest man alive: John. Why is John not on the cover of People since he is the sexiest man alive? Travesty!

OK--that HAS to be the sexiest comment because all of the magazine articles written about how to be sexy emphasize that women need to make men feel as though they are the sexiest man alive. Plus, in the second part of my comment, I stayed with your 3rd person ref, which shows I pay attention.

Please, oh please, let my sexiness win me a signed book. Sincerely, a HUGE (and sexy) fan of Cake Wrecks.
Huge in the figurative sense.
