Monday Sweets(?) Celebrates Parks And WRECK
July 16, 2018 Yesterday Alison told us in the comments that she'd be disappointed if we didn't have a follow-up post entitled, "Celebrating Parks and Wreck."
So Alison, your wish?
OUR COMMAND.
Play it again, Jen.
July is Parks and Recreation Month!
;)
If you think I'm going to use this as an excuse to post a bunch of fun cakes and reminisce about Parks & Rec the series, then you are absolutely correct.
But first:
"Marta, I'm gonna need two hours' worth of waffles."
;)
THIS'LL DO.
Besides, when else could I feature an awesome shoe cake?
;)
I bet Andy would love that name for his shoe-shine stand, too.
You may see a cute pony, but *I* see Li'l Sebastian:
;)
::sniff:: SO CUTE.
Then there's the man, the myth, the legend:
;)
And perhaps his greatest legacy:
;)
ALL the breakfast foods!
Believe it or not, someone actually made a Cones of Dunshire cake - and it's awesome!
;)
It's all about the cones.
This reminds me of Leslie's favorite wildflower mural:
;)
So gorgeous - and all buttercream! I can't get over those razor sharp edges, wow.
Oooh, here's a beauty worthy of Duke Silver himself:
;)
Best saxophone cake I've ever seen - and yes, the sax is edible!
I suppose we should bring it back to this nation's parks, though, since that IS what we're celebrating this month:
;)
I had to double-check that the animals are hand-sculpted; I thought they were store-bought figurines!
Incredible.
Well, however you celebrate this month, minions, don't forget to TREAT YO'SELF:
;)
Sure, some folks like bubble baths... I'll take the cake.
Happy Parks & Recreation Month, and happy Sunday Monday, everyone!
Thanks to Larissa C., Michelle C., Petrina Y., Dimitra S., Scarlett K., Sarah W., Katie D., Bethany T., John Y., Wendy L., & Jamie M. for helping our post hit wreck'd bottom.

This is EPIC. I've spent 15 minutes going back and forth between the posts yesterday and today, and it gets funnier every time I see it! ;-)
I have so many questions about the bubble bath cake. This is clearly a baby, so why is it wearing a thong and trouser socks in the bathtub? Come to think of it, why would anyone of any age wear a thong and trouser socks in the bathtub? Are the butt and feet in the air to try to keep the thong and trouser socks dry? Did the baker put real-life fabric socks on those feet stumps? Is that an impending boil there on butt cheek #1? What are those pearl things floating on the water supposed to be? So. Many. Questions.
Jen,
In the title, you seemed unsure, so let me clear it up for once and for all: These are definitely NOT Sweets. The End.
...I have no words for that last cake. I'd like to have no memory of it either.
Best follow up EVER!
OK, I confess. Today's post left me really confused and wondering "what on earth??" so I thought, well, I didn't get a chance to read Sunday Sweets yesterday, so I'll do it now. OK, now I'm laughing!
Hurk - I wish I hadn't seen that first cake before breakfast.
The ants crawling on the eggs don't bother me too much though, because I would never eat eggs anyway.
That. Last. One. 😨
Oh my gosh! I love that you kept the exact same text! I saw her comment yesterday and just LNEW you had to do it. But it was way better than I imagined! All because of the text!.
I am in awe that you found "appropriate" cakes for today's post. As Cheezchik32 says, amazing follow-up!
That last cake-I was thinking that was a pillow, which of course doesn't explain the feet, but a lot of wrecks defy explanation. Why would any one put a baby face first in water? Is this cake to celebrate a drowning? Yes, Angela, there are many questions about this cake, if one isn't in a hurry to blot it out of one's memory!
You have the same wording here as yesterday. Did you forget to change it?
[Editor's note- Obvious troll is obvious. -john (thoJ)]
Bwaa ha ha ha!
Dear. God. I swear, that first cake looks like one of those baby belly cakes turned park. Like someone was going for a weird Gaia/Mother Earth theme.
Best post ever!!!
*slow clap* Well done, CW. Well. Done. :D
These two posts are literally the best I’ve ever seen. (And worst?) They literally made my day!
Exactly what CuJo said! I had all my fingers and toes crossed, but you outdid my highest expectations!
Awesomely series of posts ever. Truly laughing out loud! And so puzzled by that first cake... Wang sh'bang and boobage?
I would have sworn that first one was mashed potatoes with brown gravy...
Push back from desk
Stand up
Slow clap
Brilliant
I'm so glad you accepted the challenge, The Sunday Sweets matchup with Monday Mistakes is well done.
I’m not sure which question to ask:
Why are there bacon, eggs, and a wee pile o’ poo on top of flowers on a chocolate chip cookie? Or:
Why are there flowers under the bacon and eggs and wee pile o’ poo?
And finally: what on earth are those too-large-to-be-pepper flakes?? Gnats come to mind....
...That first one has to be a repurposed belly cake, right?!
I mean, it's got a couple of extra boobs and noodley "arms" tacked on to disguise it, but the fundamental shape definitely looks like a belly cake. A belly cake with a *very* disturbing skin tone. And some worrisome growths.
lol
That first one looks like somebody threw up.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! That was perfect- SO FUNNY! Thanks.
Awesome Jen and John (thoJ). Totally Awesome!
That horse cake was straight outta the Godfather...semi detached & the ants on the eggs..... I really wish I could unsee that...🐜🍳.... and the thing baby diving into...... whatever🤤
Luv you guys.... this blog makes my day😂

Looks like that cake at the end is eating the poor person in a g string thing that or I am losing my mind. Probably both lol.
You have NO idea how much I'm giggling with glee over this - even ten minutes later and after texting friends in excitement. It was better than I ever imagined and the fact the text is the same... perfect! Thank you so much for sharing in the wreckery and delighting me :D
That was awesome. You really outdid yourself there.
There are SOCKS. On a CAKE.
(Read like Reese Witherspoon in that one movie…Sweet Home Alabama, maybe?)
Speechless. So good.
The first one looks like the blobs of "noxious biological goo" from The Master's vault in Fallout 1 ...eew, bleck...
#1: I see a mutant gingerbread man that someone basted like a turkey, then pooed on, in a forest.
#2: just ew
#3: what is that last word? “Staynass”?
#4: The Godfather let the horse’s head decompose for a while before putting it on the bed.
#5: Spongebob Bananaface?
#6: a picnic ruined by ants and a wayward chihuahua dropping a deuce on the flower pattern blanket?
#7: mmm, just love the cardboard-y taste of ice cream cones, said no one ever
#8: the tragic Frosting Explosion of 2018
#9: I thought it was the number 1 that some drunk baker drizzled black icing on along with mouse poo
#10: Angry Birds: Morbid Obesity Edition
#11: Butt floss and socks. Definitely my bathing apparel of choice. A never-nude, perhaps?
This is just epic! You have realy outdone yourself on this one.
Oh CW you are just the best. These 2 posts just made my summer.
