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.

Happy irthday, John! Thank you for brightening our unbirthdays, everyday. ...The editor in me is celebrating by ignoring misspellings and adding some of my own, so menny appy returns to you! That's a pretty good present, eh? EH?

wv: wudizatu - the best misspelling of 'birthday' I've ever seen.

Hey baby, how 'bout you bring those pasties on over here. What? these aren't pies! I thought you'd bring pie. ;-)

Have a Happy Birthday Anyway!

"Okay, sorry about this but, being Irish, I have no understanding of 'pasties' beyond the meat-and-potato-pastry-thing. Would anyone care to explain? I feel I am missing out on the joke."

In Britain, Ireland, Canada, and some parts of the U.S., a pasty is something like http://www.barnettfare.co.uk/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=6" rel="nofollow">this .

But in the U.S., the more common meaning of "pasty," and especially the plural, "pasties," is something like http://www.sillibee.co.uk/images/products/ling_1737_rd_bg_M.jpg" rel="nofollow">this
or http://www.nightshadecorsets.com/accessories/pasties.htm" rel="nofollow">these .

Thus all the hilarity over the name.

Hey, it's my daughter's birthday this week as well! She likes her half-birthday better though, this year I'd made her a cannibal meatcake with little meatcup villagers. It was awesome.

Happy Birthday John --

My husband also was disappointed when I said I was bringing pasties home for dinner and I'd show up with meat pies from the bakery.

How gracious you are on your Birthday!

May your B-day be filled with Pasties and Cake ;)

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMelissa

Umm, this is a little weird, since I'd be more qualified to make such a comment for Jen, but John, I really want a book. I like books, so, I'll check my pride at the door, ready? Okay:

You can really frost my cake! Oh, you hot cake guy, you know how to make icing HOTT! Let's have a slice of your creamy filling and why don't we add some ice cream for a little more fun. I think your carrot jockey is showing, cupcake! don't forget to blow out the candles! Happy Birthday!

ugh, I feel dirty.

Happy Birthday, John! Many more, and lots of cake - with sprinkles.

I used to work at a pasty (soft "a") shop in the UP of Michigan (I am now a vegetarian and make my pasties with tvp - and rutabagas). I used to get the giggling and eye-rolling about "pasties" all the time!

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterwidogmom

I am wearing my "sexy" face. If you were stalking me, you would be able to see it right now!

Today is my son's birthday. He's 8. Yeah, I know, it's not sexy, but since y'all seem to share the same sensibilities, I thought I'd chuck it in anyway. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ETHAN!!!!! Oh, & John.

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGayle Choo

I always like to cease the Ear Day and enjoy a few pasties after doing a greet job on that awesome Sherk cake while thinking of wishing John a sexy birthday!! Have a good one John!!! I hope Jen gets you the wreckiest cake she can find!!

Were the pasties on sale for National Breast Cancer Awareness month? It would only stand to reason. $1.00 pasties with every mammogram. YES!!!
