Our 1000th Post!
December 17, 2010 Holy Schnikes, Wreckies, can you believe this is our 1,000th Cake Wrecks post?!?
Yeah. So can I. ("Hey, John, write up another apology. This time you ticked off Weimaraner owners.")
Still, we've come a long way since that night I was bored and thought someone piping "under neat that" on a cake warranted a goofy cake blog. 'Course, at the time, I didn't think a cake could get much worse.
Um...
We've discovered the uncharted horrors of the cupcake cake [patooie!]:
Delved into the creeptastic world of cakey cannibalism:
Learned to put numbers in their proper place:
Not to mention quotation marks!
Then there are the mounds of pastry poo, unintentionally suggestive turkeys, wedding day disasters...oh! And the hardest word in the English language to spell:
I like it.But *most* importantly, we've learned what giant golf balls are called:
Mission: Space!
Many thanks to wreckporters Kimberly F., Christopher T., Kathryn H., Cyndi P., Dao, Erin B., Jr M., & Kellie B., who all got that joke.
I hope.

Oh, no, I think you're mistaken... I think that that cake, while not a great cake, is supposed to be Epcot!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
I STILL love that post. The comments were epic!
Congratulations on your 1000th post!!! That's amazing. I still love coming to your site every day.
I rarely post, but you make me smile all the time. Yesterday's post had me giving myself away at work.
I hope you keep going strong. You are really one of my favorite places to visit. Congrats again!
I'm starting a betting pool for guessing how many "Epcot" references this post will generate.
wv: sweratin. "To sweratin Epcot cake makes you feel better, but to swearata wreckerator REALLY makes you feel better."
Wow! 1ooo posts -- amazing! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face every day!
Also thank you thank you thank you for making TWLOHA your ccc for today. What a great organization! We need to get rid of the stigma of depression and support those hurting. So, again, thank you!
Congratulations on your 1000th "post", Jen and John! I'm looking forward to thousands more! ;-)
Here's to a thousand more!
Actually, you wouldn't call it "Epcot." It's Spaceship Earth.
"Happy" Burthday!
Udder Neat That
KAKE RECKS
And I have read every last one of them! Keep up the good work! It may seem like a "silly cake blog," but having a daily guaranteed smile (and often a belly laugh) is a great thing, and many of us need it.
To a thousand more!

Congradulations! And "thanks" for all the laughs. I love your blog.
Congratulations on your 1000th post! May there be many, many more.
I'm thinking the first "Wreck" is a reference to the rather apathetic Kim Pine from the Scott Pilgrim comics & movie.
Regardless, congrats on your 1000th post!
Contrabulations! And it can't be Mission: Space when it's so CLEARLY The Living Seas.
Ilana,
Email me with your concerns.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! That's Epcot! I'm pretty sure the giant golf ball is Epcot! I don't care that you made the cake, thus should know what it is! ;)
In all seriousness, I worked at Mission: SPACE so the shout out made my day. :D
I don't get the Weimaraner reference, & I own one. :^|
"Keep on Wrecking", thogh!

Wv - intwini - I love the intwini of wit between wrecks.
Congratulations!!! Epcots all around!
Congrats on your 1000th post!!
Also -- To Write Love on Her Arms is a wonderful choice! My family lost my beautiful 17-yr old cousin in May of 2009 to suicide and TWLOHA works very hard to help as many people to NOT go thru that as possible. In fact, on what would've been Charlie's 18th birthday, our family and her friends held a benefit in our little town for TWLOHA and managed to donate about 4x what we thought we would. The love and support we received (from so many sources) thru all of this has been invaluable and I love the work they do, in making sure those who need that help and support receive it.
It makes me tear up to see you guys mention them, get the word out and help others. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!
In honor of your 1000 post, I shall now type "EPCOT" 1000 times!!!
EPCOT EPCOT EPCOT EP.....
oh look, shiney!
Congrats on your success!!! Yay Disney reference!
Congratulations on 1000! These posts keep a smile on face every day... a smile and looks of absolute bewilderment.
And I have to say that every time I see a 51th or 21th or simply a 1th, I imagine that it's a secret homage to Colin Firth. It makes the cake seem so much more special. ;)
Congratulations on 1000!!!
underneat that
Hope we get to read another thousand!
Congratulations (is that how you *really* spell it?) on your 1000th post!
Congtulatons! "on your 1000th" post. Luv you bunches and cannot get thru a morning at work without getting a dose of wrectaluar disasters.
As long as there are blind, two left handed Sandra Lees in the world, you will have material.
DITTO all of the thanks & congrats!
hi jen and john!! i'm one of your devoted daily readers. the blog totally makes my days. could i make a request?? could there be a link on your main page to all the CCC donations?? i like to see the progress of each day's donations, and i have to go back to each post to click on the link to see how far they're coming along. just a thought.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
Conga..tu..cond...."Well Done" on your 1000st post!
'She liked Chocolate'...I think I'd like that on my tombstone.....
Thank you for sponsoring TWLOHA. My youngest daughter self-mutilated, not for long, thank God. She just passed the two year mark celebrating no more cutting, and is tattooing Love on her arm to commererate. She is a beautiful, healthy young adult with great compassion for those who suffer through this kind of pain.
And thank you for making us laugh on a daily basis - we need more laughter in the world!
Did I mention that the wreakiness of the Holmes on Homes cake is hilarious, considering what the show is about??

Happy happy 1000th. And a gratuitous Epcot thrown in just because I can.
May I have a tour now of this famous Epcot bunker I've been hearing about? I'll bring the chocolate covered pretzels.
P.S. If I don't find your calendar at my local bookstore today, I'll give in and buy it online.
Wandering off to donate a dollar on my way to the bunker.

Congratulations! I wanted to say how excited i was when a friend of mine gave me the 2011 Cakewrecks calendar for a Christmas present...love it!
Is...is that nip slip on that pregnancy cake? Some particularly haunting cakes on your 1000th post. Congrats, Cake Wrecks! And thanks for making each day a bit brighter with the horrors of the cake world and your wit.
You're 1000nd post! Conjugalations! Hapthy I am for you! "In red with ranbow sprinkels!!"
Congratulations! Your blog is terrific!
CONGTULATIONS on your 1000th post! On this day in history, let them wreck cakes!!
Wait, I'm confused, I thought the giant ball in Epcot was Spaceship Earth. Isn't Mission: SPACE the flight simulator? Did I miss the joke?
*so confused*
Congreatu--, er...
Contragul--, um...
Congratulations, you crazy kids!
Who knew?! Here's to many more!
Congtulations on your 1000st "post"!
Congtulations on your 1000st "post"!
Oh, never mind, I skipped over the "thanks" bit. dur-da-dur.
Congratulations!
I got the joke - I could tell by the font :)
Love your blog!
to write love on her arms is a truly amazing organization. I'm in high school right now, and every year the kids at our school write "love" on other people's arms. Some people are skeptical and say that doing awareness campaigns doesn't actually accomplish anything, but they do encourage people to donate, and when you have the word love written 20 times on your arms, you really do feel loved. Thanks!
