Dress a Wreck
March 12, 2011 Are you ready to be your own Wreckerator, only without all the mess and soul-eating shame? Then you are going to *LOVE* this fun little Wrecks game, created by loyal Wreckie henchperson J Rose.
So grab the kids, significant others, and/or cubicle mates, and get ready to start cranking out your very own Wrecks! Then print them out and decorate the fridge. Because, no, you are NOT too old for that.
Many "thanks" to J Rose, whose artistic genius is surpassed only by her impeccable taste in blogs.

Dang. I wanted more poo for my cake. :(
CakeWrecks game FTW!!! w00t!
This is wonderful. I made a world-class wreck on my first try even though I ran out of Naked Mohawk Baby Carrot Jockeys very quickly. Thanks for creating it.
(A couple of extra alphabets, preferably in colors that clash with the pink, would be helpful in misspelling words with repeat letters.)
@ JRose: Thank you for the sprinkles tip - knowing about the "handle" sprinkle made my life much easier!
. . . although my "I want sprinkles cake" was still much too tasteful - must go and try again!
yay! I'm devoting Saturday to this.
So gun!!
Pure genius!
Is there anyone who can give me easy directions on how to save my cake (think 5 year old computer comprehension...) I couldn't get Tricia's directions to work...
@Kimberly - oh, I know. I've made some wrecky things in the past, and am happy that nobody is expected to pay for them!
My family is mostly from the "as long as it tastes good" school of thought, so nobody's disappointed.

The philosophy of wanting everything to continue is called ectism.
Fun! Mine is the worst wreck you have ever seen...
This is brilliant. For the next upgrade, may I suggest the ability to upload an image of your wreck to Facebook and other social media sites, just so everyone can see how retarded you are.
I was making the worst cake I could possible imagine when my 4 year old walked up and said, "Mommy, it needs more sprinkles."
WINNING.
I wish there was an option to share my creation on my blog. You can never have too many babies flying on carrots.
Thanks so much for this! It's awesome and so much fun!
:D
I'm definitely creating some wrecks of my own that I'll save (via the Snipping Tool on my PC) that I'll share with friends and family on their special occasions. :)
DAng it. My wreck is a wreck... no matter what I do, it STILL turns out pretty (er than any of the blogged wrecks in the past)
SO funny...
And so unfair... It won't let me put on the sprinkles. I WANT SPRINKLES!!!!!!
I made myself my very own "YOTH" cake! I'm so excited!
This is great fun, thank you! I made a delicious creation with sunflowers, the trees and reindeer, and the fountain shooting from the top! Clearly, I have the heart of a true Wreckinator.

Awesome!!
That is the most awesome idea! I'll have to bookmark this specific post so I can come back and make a wreck whenever I feel like it!
Great fun! Thanks for sharing with us frustrated Wreckers!
Sweet! Thanks so much J. Rose! Imagine the possibilities...like a cake that says "I want sprinkles" on one tier and "'Good luck'" on another...
So awesome!
Way to go, J Rose!
This could be a cool online game -- people could take turns being the wreckerator, while messages from 'customers' are randomly garbled to simulate the order-taking process. (Bonus points for messages that are factually questionable, because most people see humor in that stuff.)
Note: such wrecky elements as 'balloons', fondant cracks and indecipherable script can be added freehand to a screen capture in Paint or other drawing program.
I was kind of offended that there are no beads and no way to know whether the cake is baked or deep-fried, but I got over it before I finished typing this sentence.

This is awesome! How is this possible on a blog? I'm blown away by the technology.
My word verification is "duche"!! Love it.
That's so awesome!
Another idea: A make-your-own-Wrecks fridge magnet set using those thin cling-type magnets.
So much fun! I want it ALL on my birthday cake!
Now, this is effing AMAZING! I'm not even gonna go to work today. :-p AWESOME job!
LOVE IT!!
This could so be a magnet game, like the magnetic Disney Princess dress-up dolls...I'd totally buy a CW magnet game to put on my fridge!
where do I go to get the game?
I couldn't find the game. Does anyone know what day it's from?

For some reason, your program deleted the keys to press for saving the screen shots (see 10:32am). Apparently it doesn't like the less-than and greater-than symbols. Let's try again:
1. Click Fn and Prnt Screen keys at same time.
2. Click Start in lower left corner, then All Programs, then Accessories, then Paint
3. Click inside the white box
4. Click Edit in upper left corner, then Paste
5. Click File, then Save As, then JPG
6. Enter a file name, then click Save.
Feedback to the artist: The sprinkles would be easier to use if you brush a transparent layer behind it in the group or "clickable" zone.
Great work! This is really wonderful! Magnificent job, J. Rose!

Hehehe! That just made my morning!
That was really fun.
wv: chealt--I see a wreck in this word's future: "Congaratalations on not chealting on the Spelling Be!"
Fun! Love it!
In the words of our 2nd favorite over-exposed Hollywood jerk...Duh! WINNING! :) Seriously. I love the little bitty carrot jockeys!
crable: Baby shower Wreck - "When the wind blows the crable will rock"
I need to try this some where with flash.
Now how clever is that?!! Now, you need a Cake Wrecks APP! I'd buy it!! :)
Wreck on!

BEST game EVER! I LOVE IT!!!
I see a "Stairway to Sprinkle Heaven" cake in my future.
Thanks J. Rose.
So fun!
Holy crap! This is so fun! I'm going to play it ALL day!
Wonderful!
But needs more accidental peen.
If only I could see it on my computer ... :(
This would make the most amazing Colorforms...I'd buy them!
I made a passive-aggressive baby shower cake:
