Proof That Shameless Begging Works

Ah, how sweet it is to be back posting here on Blogger, dear readers.

As you probably know from the sidebar note I had posted, Blogger's anti-spam measures disabled my account last Friday afternoon, along with countless others. For the past five days I have been pleading on the Blogger Help Group boards for a live person to a) unlock my account, or failing that, to b) acknowledge my existence. I tried being polite. Then I tried being a little snippy. When those both failed, I resorted to the time-proven tactic of shameless begging.

My post this morning read as follows:

"Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please pretty pretty pretty pretty please?!?"

About four hours later: bingo! Cake Wrecks is unlocked!

See, it really does work sometimes, guys. ;)

Thanks to all of you who checked in on me during my virtual absence: I'd take you guys over any other blog's readers, any day. Ya'll rock.

Now, back to the Wreckiness!

Cake Wreckin' Under-Achievers, Unite!

You know how it is for some of these grocery-store bakery decorators: some days they're just not reaching their full cake-wrecking potential. On those days they give their airbrush, questionable design choices, and horrific color palettes a rest, and instead produce a simpler, quieter kind of wreck. A wreck that says, with world-weary disdain, "Hey, I make $7 an hour. Deal with it."

I guess the cracked icing counts as decoration.

While I'm sure Tim appreciated the baby-pink roses for his big 4-0, I get the feeling that someone really enjoyed skewering the cake with those candles, dartboard style.

This cake is Cake Wrecks approved! Way to knock yourselves out, there, decorators!
