Oh! So THAT's Why There's No Mail!
February 21, 2011 Today we here in the U.S. celebrate our first president's birthday.
But more importantly...
[ripping off coat to reveal red, white, and blue sequin-covered jumpsuit]
...we celebrate America.
Hit it, Christina!
Um, well, I think that's supposed to be "whose"...
"Paroles?" Is this song about a prison break?
*sigh*
I've just spent 10 seconds trying to pronounce "hallulliah," and I can't stop laughing. Help.[regaining composure] Ahem.
And now, in honor of George Washington and the day of his birth, let's see some starfish doing the tango.
That's for you, George.And, since some people think Washington's family crest actually helped inspire the red and white stripes on Old Glory, let's take a moment to spotlight the care and respect bakers still show our nation's flag today:
The blue waves represent the sea of our educational incompetence.Yessir, I think ol' George would have liked these bakers, with their real American values and their real American piping bags. After all, if there's one thing real Americans know, it's the shape of their own country.
Dibs on Toronto.Thanks to today's real American heroes Ember P., Terra F., Aziza, & Jill W.

My son is saying "Type in LOL - When you laugh you HAVE to type it in."
LOL
This weekend I finally got a copy of your book - in Lincoln City, Oregon. Converting all of my friends to LOL one coffee table at a time.
hehehe loved the starfish cupcakes.. they look so happy
"Dibs on Toronto." - This cracked me up even more than the rest.
The tango-ing starfish were pretty hysterical too. :D
Gettin' funny looks from the nurse again as I laugh hysterically from my hospital bed =)
Q."Who's Broad Stripes and Bright Stars"?
A. Ummm, the new Navy rock band?
"Paroles flight" - that's the helicopter that swooped down to assist in the prison break
Well, at least they got the "twilight's" part right.
I had to say the Tangoing starfish is by far my fav image today. LOL Thanks for the laugh as I'm stuck at work today.
The Tangoing starfish are by far my fav image of the day. Thank you for the laugh as I'm stuck at work today.
... who's brood stripes ...
Wait. let me clean my glasses off.
ok. Not 'A' feature today about birds and spring fashions.
President's Day celebrates the births of both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. There could have been so much more wreckage!
That last cake looks like what the U.S. will look like after half of California falls off into the Pacific Ocean after an earthquake.
Hahaha! Thanks, Loo-E-loo-I for this: "Hallulliah? Yep, I'm laughing too. All I heard in my head was Winnie the Pooh saying "Hallooooooo" to Princess Leah."
No, FM, the "donzerly light" was in the song about the reigndeer who saved Christmas with his shiny noze.

@laughingmom: Wha? Where are the ram parts?
This is CakeWrecks -- I'm not sure I want to see what a wreckerator does with ram parts.
my father is the type you'd see walking around with an american flag shirt, so embarassing...
"The blue waves represent the sea of our educational incompetence."
I could not have put it better! hehe Love it!
Thanks for the mean-spirited smack at educators. Could it be the idiot that messed up the cake is responsible for the error and not the teachers who did their best to teach him/her? Read your own rules: Profanity, mean-spirited remarks, anonymous criticism & blatant advertising will not be published.
"The blue waves represent the sea of our educational incompetence."
It's funny because it's true...
Maybe we should rethink letting our kids take this day off from school and have them practice their possessives and contractions.
(love this blog, by the way...keeps me in stitches)
*sigh*
Y'all are missin' the point.
That ain't Hallelujah.
It's HELL YEAH!
I think it's actually "halluiliah" note the dot over that one l looking thing. This makes it even more fun to say!
As a fun side note, my comment moderation word is: comaukso
I do believe that word is fitting for some of these wrecks!
"What do you think of my starfish/fireworks things?!"
...
"They're very comaukso inducing."
Boom! USA Bang! Celebrate!
The tangoing starfish are by far my favorite. I laughed so hard I got strange looks from my husband! :)
wv: spant....you don't even want to know how much time I've spant laughing at the cakes on this site!
Funny as always. No holiday for us in British Columbia, as a matter of fact there was a news story about this. What amazed me was most of the people responding to the story are against giving the workers another paid holiday. Said that the ones wanting the holiday were greedy and would bring down small business owners. Enjoy your holiday to all that gets one no matter what its called.
Oh, so Christina Aguilers is decorating cakes now?? How special is that? LOL!
*dies*
I justs about stopped laughing when I read laughingmom's ram parts question.
I think I sprained something.
LOL
My kid tells me that if you turn your head upside down while looking at the last cake, it looks just like Robbie the Robot.
Oh! MY! GOODNESS!!! I think this is one of the funniest you've done in a while! God bless the U.S.A. because I think we need a LOT of help!
Where's the first part of the song about the Latino guy getting involved with the Mafia?
"Jose, can you see by the Don's surly light?"
John Hanson was technically the first president. I actually think there were 7 before Washington? It all depends on how you count I suppose.
@ Elaine - My remark wasn't a dig against teachers at all - many of my best friends are public school teachers. I was instead referring to the educational state of the U.S. in general, which I think *every* teacher would agree is less than stellar.
It was also a joke.
But mostly, the first thing. ;)
Ok, how hard would it have been to look up what a flag looked like?! Or better yet, the words to the anthem. Course you would have to be able to spell both of theose words. ;p
Less than stellar ... like the starfish? Ha!
I think my favorite part of this whole post is that the PBS "The More You Know" star is on that malformed America cake. I can just see the PSA:
"Did you know that Toronto is now a part of America? It is. Get excited. *sings* The more you knooowwww."
This site should be declared a National Treasure. And we can't wait for the government to do it. So...by the power invested in me, and with all rights and privileges pertaining there unto, I declare this site a National Treasure!
*snort*
Ironically, the star on the last "United States" um...THING looks like the PSA commercials that end with "The more you know..." and a shooting star.
Also, what a shame that Hallulliah, et al were written so prettily.
Hahahahaha!!!
Oh, P.S. Good call on the "sea of educational incompetence."
When I look at that "Boom! Bang!" CCC, I just see the Red Rock 'Em Sock 'EM Robot doing a triumphant jig and fist pump as he punches the one-legged Blue Robot in the nuts. And bolts.
These are great! Few things wreck as well as patriotism and icing.
I think "Hallulliah" has to be said with a Southern accent. I just can't get it out any other way. Sorry Southerners. :)
And this is one of my favorite sentences I've read on here: "The blue waves represent the sea of our educational incompetence." Well done, well done.
I don't think that last cake is celebrating the United States so much as giving a metaphorical, frosting covered middle finger to Great Britain. "Hah!" it seems to taunt. "It's like we never let you keep that at all! Fifty-four Forty, or Fight, suckas!!!"

My favorite part...that's pretty much the logo for"the more you know" on the malformed usa map cake...appropros!
LMAO with the starfish dancing comment. It made my day
Hah-loo-lee-uh?

Someone should tell those people that it's BEEN a paid holiday for a long, long time... (heck, when I was a kid back in the Stone Age, we got two in one week - Lincoln's _and_ Washington's birthdays) and as far as this small business owner goes, I'm working the usual hours today! Darned few holidays for smalltime retailers, believe me.
The least someone could do is make me a nice unwrecked cake! *G*

WV: morsts - These wreckorators should feel a huge amount of re-morsts for these designs!
"Dibs on Toronto." 'Love it! And if you can't laugh at public education, you'll cry. I vote for the laughing.
How sad that my 15 year old daughter had to ask what was wrong with the cake flag...*head plant onto desk*
I love my country.
I like the "the More you Know" star on the last one.
are you sure the stripes were based on washington's family crest?
looks more like aquafresh to me . . .
Cake #3 just makes me think of vampires with clean, bright fangs courtesy of Proctor & Gamble.
Evidently, the entire US of A now rather resembles the state of Missouri. Who knew!
The dawnzer lee light
Gleemed the ram parts of cake wrecks:
Paroles piping.
Oh my, someone please tell me which Kroger's bakery that was!!!
why am I so tempted to crack a random Hetalia joke right now?
Hall-ooh-lee-uh! D: XD
@Anonymous / kate 5:04 PM
the last cake is a super top secret map of the plans to invade Canada. (Shhhh don't tell)
Fifty-four forty or fight?
"BANG! Celebrate U.S.A."???
What? With a gun fight?
