I Finally Get The Last Word… So Of Course It’s Misspelled

Yeah! Go SPORTS!

Of course it's easy to focus on the mistakes, so let's take a second to appreciate that somewhere there's a professional baker who actually did this... on purpose.

("I call it, 'Barbie's Dream Petri Dish.'")

Could be worse, though. This one makes me want to launch a CSI investigation:

("Looks like Merle... [SUNGLASSES].... got smoked.")

And yes, I do realize "CSI investigation" is redundant.

SPEAKING of which...

Ow. My brain.

Because nothing delights a girl on her birthday quite like chopping off the head of a terrified Minnie Mouse:

"Don't worry, Minnie, this'll only hurt for seconds."

Just think: last week two of you loyal wrecky minions spotted this display, took a photo, and sent it in to me:

I love it when that happens! It's like Missed Connections, Cake Wrecks style!

So Sara? Brittany? YOUR DESTINY TOGETHER AWAITS.
(Dibs on the wedding cake photos.)

Oh, and I think that bamboo plant is trying to lick us.

A few weeks ago a couple of readers had a discussion on Twitter about Cake Wrecks, and since they kept tagging me in it, I was privy to their thoughts on how our posting misspelled cakes smacks of "intellectual snobbery," and really isn't that funny anyway.

I didn't reply at the time because the two weren't talking TO me, just ABOUT me. However, now, at long last, I believe I have an appropriate response.

Ahem hem hem.

This was supposed to say "Celebrate."

P.S. I have a growing collection of fun pattern dresses, and this nerdy pineapple print is currently calling my name:

Scoop-Neck Sundress, Your Choice of 25 Patterns

Then I saw I can also choose taco cats, galaxy prints, or rainbow unicorns, so... I have some decisions to make. :D These dresses are made of a stretchy, almost bathing-suit-like material - which I know sounds weird, but it's AMAZING for summer. Stretchy and comfy, and the colors never fade like my cotton/knit dresses. Only downside is they have no pockets (booo), but for $25 I can forgive that hideous oversight - mostly because I wear these with cardigans that have their own pockets. ;)

The Leash Is Just For Show; It's Very Well Trained

It's "Take Your Houseplant For A Walk" day, in case you were wondering what I'm doing with this ficus.

::uncomfortable silence::

Soooo... I notice you don't have a plant with you.

::more silence::

That's alright, just head to your local bakery!

See, I'm sure this one needs to get out.

And this one could definitely use some fresh air.

Here Ron is attempting to shoo a cake plant outside:

Silly Ron. You have to WALK your flower cake.

Just look how sad this one is, waiting for someone to play catch with it:

Hey Ron, GO LONG.

Besides, think of all the social benefits of walking your plant cakes. The friends they'll make!

The mental health professionals you'll meet!

"What can I say? I'm a big cake fan. Bahahaha!"

"....ok Sheila but explain the leash."

So get on out there, minions, and walk a plant. Or a cake of a plant. We won't judge. Me and the ficus, we're pretty open-minded.

Thanks to Jamie D., Carri M., Ron B., Crystal B., Sara P., & Megan C. for being out standing their fields.

P.S. Need a cool gift for the person who has everything? Then how about a card that transforms into a bouquet:

Fresh Cut Paper Pop-Up Flowers

I sent this one to my Mom for her birthday last month, and it looks just like this! Even better, it ships free with Prime, so no extra postage needed.

Or you could stock up with the three-pack!

There are more flower styles and colors at the link.
