Wreckies of the Month
March 27, 2010 It's time again to recognize those devoted evil Wrecky henchpersons who've sufficiently amused and/or impressed me this month.
You long-time henchpersons will recognize this as an homage to that amazing Darth Vader shower cake which I claimed could only be topped by a cake featuring Spock instead. Carol J. was less than impressed with the bakery's end result, but I think the wreckiness just adds to its hilarity, don't you?Next we have Luke, age 6, who made a "T Rex, NOT a cake Rex!" for a school contest:
Adorable. Love the matching shirt, too, Luke.Hey, you know how you're always trying to think of more ways to include Cake Wrecks in your lives? Well here's an idea: use your copy of Cake Wrecks as the guest book at your wedding!
This is GENIUS, Lindsay F. I mean, first of all, now you can NEVER get rid of your copy of Cake Wrecks, but secondly, now this book contains the two things you hold most dear: CW, and, you know, all those people who showed up to your wedding. But mostly Cake Wrecks. Right?
Next, Noelle F. shows us how to throw a birthday party, Carrot Jockey style:
Why yes, that IS a pinata.
And last but certainly not least, Malerie C. got crafty and made me a bracelet!
Cute, right? And hey, if you're tired of waiting on me and John to make more Jockey necklaces (sorry, sorry!) you can even head over to her Etsy store and buy one for yourself!
Many thanks to all of today's awesome readers, and to all of you who continue to make the life of professional blogging bearable with your notes, pictures, and e-mails. This has been a particularly trying week at the CW household, and so the time you guys have taken to encourage me and/or John has been especially treasured. Wreck on, dear Wrecktators. Wreck on.

You know we would all still love and appreciate you even if you took a vacation. Go ahead if it would help.
Jen,
Yours is the only blog I visit daily. Thank you.
Lisabella -- LOL...yeah...I know that was the original line...but since this was for a baby shower, I tweaked it a little!!
Why is Zach Quinto wearing an original series era shirt?
Jen and John, I hope things are beginning to look up for you this week. Two weeks ago, when my mother-in-law was facing her final days (talk about a rough week), I went to CakeWrecks to take the edge off and get a little laughter. Bev would certainly approve, and you guys are a superb antidote to just about anything ailing a person. As another poster has said, if you guys need a break, take it!!! Everyone needs a vacation.
We love you, you rock! And when you get back from your break :) , keep up the awesome work!
Anne-Marie (not THAT Anne-Marie)
I hope this week is better for you!
Spock FTW!
LOL I can just imagine the look on my mom's face if/when I ever have kids and I ask for a naked carrot jockey cake for my shower...
No, Thank you! This makes my work week more tolerable! Keep them coming!
Homestyle Bakery is MY bakery of choice. I might even stop there today on my way home, yeap I think I will! LOL
LOVE all this! So cute!
gojirama, good question. Perhaps the baker was a star wars fan. Another wreckfact to add to the list.
What about a cake that features both old Spock (ahh, Leonard--my first crush), and new Spock? That would just be the best.

Luke- Destined for great things, seriously. That is awesome. Plus--"T-Rex not Cake Rex"? Winner!
My husband is in tears laughing at the Spock cake. That is quite possibly the most full of win cake I've ever seen.
wv: mitlic. That cake is so awesome, it is positively mitlic.
What is it with Babies and riding carrots. God! :0 xx
Luke, if you can make a cake that nice-looking at your age, I expect to see your name in the Sunday Sweets section in about fifteen-twenty years. :)
