Some of my favorite new submissions this week:

And they say cake decorating is dead:

It's not dead.

It's more in the process of being slowly bludgeoned to death.

Ergo the massive head injury and general fuglitude happening here.

Now let's take a rare glimpse at the Cake Wrecks Facebook Wall - because, oh yes, we're one of those ancient dinosaur sites that still has a Facebook page:

You're absolutely in the right here, Kim... but I like the way your friend thinks.

And here's one from Audrey, who used her cake to convey both an apology AND an explanation:

(Is that "poor" or "poop"? Because either works for me.)

I like it. Sweet and succinct. Maybe we should all give this technique a try.

"Sorry about the house. NETFLIX."

"Forgive the smell. TACO TUESDAY."

Or, for a one-size-fits-all approach:

"My apologies. EXPLOSIONS AND/OR ALIENS."

Anyone else been on Giraffe Watch this month?

If not, don't bother googling. It's just some giraffe faking a pregnancy for attention.

(Also that cake is fine; I just find it funny that even bakers are getting sucked in.)

Alexandria wanted a really basic beach scene for her son's birthday cake, so she ordered this design from the book and asked the bakery to leave off the characters and flowers:

To recap: she just wanted the water and sand. That's it. (She planned to add some toy sharks later at home.)

Here's what her bakery made:

BEACH PLEASE.

Thanks to Ken K., Katie R., Kim, Audrey O., Stephanie M., & Alexandria C. for teaching us the ocean is more of a stream, and the beach really is #1.

Today's post is dedicated to the American Hero who added a bottle of Jack Daniel's to this display:

Bless you, sir/madam. Bless you.

Um...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who immediately saw this:

Just me?

Bakers, I imagine parenthood is tough enough. You really shouldn't go adding to the stress level with Prom goofs like this:

0.o
Please tell me this was delivered to her house.

Also, bakers, 'fess up: which one of you decided chocolate icing was a good call here?

Which brings me to the headline of the week:

A cake decorator with "no construction experience" building a sewage plant? CLEARLY this reporter has never read Cake Wrecks:

Cake decorators get all KINDS of experience constructing sewage plants.

Though I'm guessing/hoping these ones smell better.

"Howdy, doody."

Thanks to Sherry S., Jonathan W., Kristen G., Mona E., Amber S., Jane P., Matt S., Paula P., & Rachelle H. for taking us to fecality, and beyond.
