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.

You and Jen are two funny (did you notice the pun?). I love following the cake wrecks pictures and your witty comments. And since my birthday is two days from now... (not sure where Steve's going with that).

Happy Birthday John! I'm too sick to think of anything sexy to say (my hubby stayed home to help take care of me and our 2 year old daughter, who is also sick). We all have to get better because hubby's birthday is this weekend and I'm going to have to come up with something sexy for him!

Free CW stuff would be a great present for me, I mean him!

WV: chall - I'm sure that is sexy to a southern boy like my hubby, but I'm not sure what it means.

A great fruit cake recipe -

You'll need the following: a cup of water, a cup of sugar, four large eggs, two cups of dried fruit, a teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of salt, a cup of brown sugar, lemon juice, nuts, and a bottle of whiskey.Sample the whiskey to check for quality.Take a large bowl. Check the whiskey again. To be sure it is the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again.Make sure the whiskey is still okay. Cry another tup. Turn off the mixer. Break two leggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers pry it loose with a drewscriver.Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares? Check the whiskey. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you can find.Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Throw the bowl out of the window, check the whiskey again and go to bed.

November 2, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJustinian

Pasties ("Paas-tees" with the "a" sounding like the "a" in "apple") are British. They are a very common food item in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where many Cornish immigrants settled in the late 1800's & early 1900's due to mining. They contain beef, rutabaga (or turnip), potatoes & onions in a crust. They are delicious! As with all things that have been Americanized, variations abound. From the time you head north over the Mackinac Bridge or cross the border from Wisconsin into God's Country (the U.P), you'll find pasty stores, pasties on restaurant menus, and churches and schools that do pasty sales as fund raisers. You really should look into this delectable delight!!

John,
I would happily cradle your third person to my heaving bosom, or possibly my heaving besom, which might actually be broom. Like all good wreckerators, I'm much too lazy to look it up. But that's the only thing I'm lazy at, if you get my drift, baby.

OOOOh, John, I just love a man who's good with his hands! (and by that I mean you are a pro with hand held power tools ;-) ) My husband and I are working towards building a house in a few years and I want pretty much everything decorative inside to be either recycled, antiques, or DIY projects. I love seeing all the stuff you guys do and CakeWrecks cracks me up! You both rock, Happy Birthday!
