A Cinderella Story
April 29, 2011 With all the royal wedding coverage out there, a lot of us girls have been spending this week imagining our own Princess Diaries moment.
Now, I don't know about you guys, but mine goes a little something... like this...
(Awww yeeeeah.)
Next, we sink straight into the Fire Swamp.
No, no, just kidding.Next we play BioShock together until 2AM.
Later, after
dressing up as Venkman and Staypuft for Halloween (I'm Venkman, of course), and confessing our undying love for one another, there's a painfully romantic proposal:
Performed in an inflatable kiddie pool."Jen," my dashing prince would say, "Will you be my own Princess Peach?"
To which I would respond, "Are you kidding? Do Vulcans need the Pon Farr?
"(But we are going to Disney for the honeymoon, right?)"
And, BAM! I'm a princess! Next thing you know, I'm living in a castle...
"And over here is your TARDIS closet. As you can see, it is much, MUCH bigger on the inside."
(Modeled after crabby Space Invaders, apparently.)
("Talk about your trunk space, check this action out!")
(Ok, technically this would be a Princess Harley.)...and...and...wait. You know what? Other than the castle and crown stuff, I've already got my fairy tale ending, complete with BioShock playing, Princess Bride quoting, brownie baking prince. (Love you, Sweetie.)
So I guess I'll just end here by wishing all of you:

Every time I read a comment about what the big icky hoop skirt looked like, I thought "that person nailed it!" Until I saw the next comment.
How sad is it that it looks like it could be pasta, artichoke leaves, pancakes, tree fungus, lily pads, pea soup, and/or bologna?
wv - chrater
These cakes should be thrown into a deep chrater, because they are chrappy.
Wait... I thought fairies had wings... (blinkblink)... I'm SO CONFUSED!!!!! (Running away screaming like a little girl).
WV: iciatede - the sheer creative genius of these wreckerators would have gone forever un-iciatede if it werent' for Jen and John's blog!
Am I the only one who definitely sees the alien at the beginning of Men In Black in the "crown" cake?
I mean...it could ACTUALLY be a rendition of him.
Yeah...wow.
Great post as always!
I don't know if you should admit you like tail that's short & fluffy...makes you sound like you molest small, furry animals...(RUN, THUMPER, RUN)
F.T.W.:
Princess Vespa, look at the trunk space and Staypuft (the name of my first cat & yes, I spelled it properly)
Does John have a brother who also bakes brownies, quotes Princess Bride and remodels homes beautifully? I'd be willing to rent by the hour if he's not free...

P.S. Which Doctor would be in your TARDIS closet? ;)
What's a TARDIS closet?
Poor poor Belle. That gown/venus flytrap looking thing is eating her up lol. As for the others.. that last one was nice until the sad tail part lol. Ah well no one gets that fairy tale ending after all :(.
Yes! I adore the subtle Aladdin reference!
Also, oh God, that was supposed to be Belle? I had to go back for another look. Poor thing.
Thought you might be interested in these pics of the Royal Wedding cake. The article includes an interview with the baker and an explanation on all the little details:

Tardis closet!!
Even when I was a little kid, in my actual "princess diaries" days (a thousand years ago or who's counting anyways), my first order of business would have been to chow down cake - no matter what it looked like. Interestingly, by my kid perception, all of these cakes, (wrecks and non-wrecks alike) would have qualified as fit for a princess by my standards, and still are. I can't decide if that's good or bad.
I can die happy now. The cake wreck I sent you made the front page. I Am Sew Happay!

did you just say you wanted to ride Princess Vespa?
I think Belle's skirt is made out of Pringles.
I suppose my mind is in the gutter, but I can't help but think that Fairytail belongs on the Playboy channel. Hahaha!
I want a princess Harley! And a Tardis closet. With a swimming pool in it.
I agree with the Historian. Can we find a cake of Nathan Fillion?
Doctor Who FTW!!!!!!!
The last cake is actually very nice, except for the "fairytail." Maybe it's a cake for Gus and Jac, the mice from "Cinderella" (or rather, "Cinder-Relly")?
