We are experts in netball surface cleaning in South Ayrshire KA7 4 and have cleaned a number of courts across the country. Sports facilities at schools, colleges and sports clubs can go through a lot of heavy use and become damaged by the weather and a lack of proper care.
This is why it's important to make sure that cleaning takes place as often as possible to stop the sports area becoming damaged and contaminated. Most facility surfaces are made using macadam or polymeric rubber flooring; these are both hard area surfaces which provide ideal playing characteristics for netball, as well as basketball and tennis.
Would you like to hear more about netball courts cleaning? If you would, please fill in the enquiry form provided below. This will allow our team to respond as soon as possible to answer all of your questions and provide any information you need.
Netball court cleaning is the process of thoroughly washing a local sports court. The cleansing methods for these sports surface types are relatively simple and should be carried out on a regular basis. Brushing the flooring to remove debris such as leaves and litter should prevent any minor damage happening to the area. Stronger maintenance methods such as pressure washing and chemical treatments clean the zone more thoroughly and prevent contaminations from moss and algae. We can provide many of these surface maintenance services including sports court repairs in South Ayrshire KA7 4 to help you look after your sports space and to enable you to use it to its full potential. As UK facility specialists we may provide you with quotations and costings for all services on surfaces so if you complete the contact box we may comeback to you with all the information you require.
You should always consider maintenance costs http://www.netballcourtspecialists.co.uk/netball-court-construction-costs/south-ayrshire/ in your budget when you choose to have a new facility installed as it is vital to keep the space well maintained. The price of maintaining a facility near me can be different for each project as a number of factors have an effect on the court maintenance costs. Size is a big factor in determining this because the whole area will need to be cleaned. However, our nearby team are always prepared to clean any surfacing you require as they understand the many benefits that are delivered after the clean. For example, the anti-slip coating can fade over time and after a cleaning session or repainting session, this coating will be revitalised to ensure nobody can slip or skid on the surface and cause themselves any harm. Proactive maintenance may require some effort but it will save many costs in the future and will allow the faciity to last much longer.
As specialist in your surrounding areas, we are able to carry out cleaning to your netball courts to ensure your facility is safe for use. To do this, we follow these simple steps:
We are able to provide a cleaning service which can extend the life expectancy of a court closest to you. Speak to us today if you are interested in finding out all the information you require to get the best results possible. We can also offer more details regarding the constructions process http://www.netballcourtspecialists.co.uk/netball-court-construction/south-ayrshire/ to find you the netball court that suits your needs.
The area size and existing conditions of a polymeric or macadam will have the biggest influence on the price of maintaining the space. For example a larger multi use facility which is contaminated and very dirty will cost a lot more to clean than a smaller space with only a few minor problems. We can also apply new anti slip paint coatings and netball surface line markings in South Ayrshire KA7 4 to improve the overall look of the area; this will of course increase the court cleaning costs as well. It's vital to keep any sports court or pitch properly cleaned and looked after so you can be confident that it will give the best playing qualities for those who use it. We would be happy to offer you a flexible quote for any maintenance requirements you have so please get in touch with us through our contact form and we'll get back to you regarding some information on prices. If your facility is installed under any trees, it is even more important that you regularly brush your space to ensure that no leaves or sticks can get in the way of the lines. This is because it could cause controversy amongst the players but also they can easily slip on leaves that are blocking the anti-slip coating and cause serious damage that you would be responsible for. You may also need to consider fencing http://www.netballcourtspecialists.co.uk/netball-facility-fencing/south-ayrshire/ and the maintenance needed with these court accessories.
Would you like any more information regarding netball surface cleaning in South Ayrshire KA7 4 to enquire about planning a purchase? If so, please feel free to contact our specialist team who are always delighted to help you in answering any of your questions or provide the necessary information you require.

Dear visitor,
Since its inception Vodafail.com has made a significant
contribution towards raising awareness of the problems and issues faced
by Vodafone customers.
Vodafone Australia customers have had the opportunity to voice their concerns, their fears and their troubles from every corner of Australia and beyond our borders.
You have gathered the courage to stand up for your rights as consumers and to make your voice heard.
Each and every person who shared their story should have a sense of pride in this achievement and the changes that have occurred since the start of Vodafail.com.
More recently, traffic to Vodafail.com has declined significantly.
Having achieved the goal of raising awareness and promoting concrete action in early 2011, we have now reached the point of closing Vodafail to new complaints.
The site will remain online for as long as possible as a
reminder and an example of what is possible when we share our experiences.
It has been a privilege to run this initiative
and I'm am forever grateful for the help and support I've received. In
particular I would like to thank Melissa, David and Travis for their
continued efforts over the past 15 months. I'm also thankful and humbled by the support of ACCAN, Choice magazine and a wide range of media outlets, blogs and websites.
You can still browse existing stories and find out how to file a complaint if you are experiencing problems.
Until next time,
Adam Brimo

Welcome to my gallery on Imagekind! Here you will find a selection of my work available for purchase in various formats - framed or unframed. If you have questions or comments on any piece, please feel free to contact me at email@example.com.
I have been an avid photographer for 30 years working in a variety of media - 35mm monochrome, 35mm transparency and, over the last 10 years or so, digital. Although interested in a wide range of photographic subjects, most of my images stress bold shapes and highly saturated colours or, in the case of the monochrome work, high contrast effects. Recently, I have been experimenting with High Dynamic Range photography, a multi-exposure technique allowing the creation of very dramatic results.
Thanks for visiting.

Book flights to Montréal
Montréal is known not only as Canada's second largest metropolis, but also one of the world's largest French-speaking cities. Located in the middle of St Lawrence River and with Mount Royal (after which the city was named) as its backdrop, it is the cultural capital of Québec province.
Like the rest of Canada, Montréal is home to an ethnically diverse population, which adds to its je ne sais quoi. Although French is widely spoken, you can hear just about every other language, including Italian, Arabic, Spanish, Tagalog, Portuguese, English and Cantonese. This cultural diversity has also spiced up the city's dining scene, giving you the option to eat your way around the world.
When you fly to Montreal you'll find well-maintained cycling trails, picturesque parks, year-round festivals, sporting events, and plenty of entertainment options, cafés and restaurants, mean there's always something to do in Montréal.
Book a flight ticket to Montréal with Qatar Airways and get to grips with the city's French-Canadian heritage.
Montréal travel highlights
Enjoy scenic city views atop Montréal Tower, take your children to Biodôme and shop to your heart's content at Marché Bonsecours. Get a taste of joie de vivre, in Montréal.
Tourist attractions
Admiring its architecture and exploring its history are two good reasons to book a trip to Montréal. Notre-Dame Basilica may not be as famous as its Parisian counterpart, but this 19th-century Gothic-Revival building has an elaborate interior that is truly breathtaking.
Olympic Stadium, inaugurated in 1976, is one of the city's more modern facilities, with a seating capacity of 56,000. As the only covered amphitheatre in Québec, it has been the venue of choice not only for sporting events, but also concerts and trade shows.
Next to the stadium is another iconic structure, the 165-metre-high Montréal Tower. Inclined at a 45-degree angle, the tower has been certified by the Guinness World Records as the world's tallest inclined tower. You can take a cable car to the building's observation deck, and be treated to a panoramic view of the city.
Within the Olympic complex is a family-friendly attraction, Biodôme, originally the Olympic Velodrome, which was converted into a zoo and nature reserve. The facility has five areas, each replicating the different ecosystems found in the Americas. -
Leisure activities
Montréal benefits from a wide range of summer and winter leisure activities. In the summer, it has an almost Mediterranean climate, which is suited to biking, hiking and water-sports such as river surfing. Mount Royal is an excellent way to enjoy the city's natural attractions. Climb to the top and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city, while taking some memorable holiday snaps.
Contrary to popular belief, Mount Royal is neither an extinct volcano nor a mountain. It is an underground rock formation and, at 233 metres above sea level, one of a network of hills that make up the Monteregian Hills. A national park, ideal for leisurely strolls, surrounds the area.
If you're in to heart-pumping spectacle, visit the city in June and watch the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Other events to look out for are the International Jazz Festival and the Circus Festival.
If you're travelling to Montreal during the winter months, you will see a whole new perspective of the city, after it has been transformed into a snowy playground. This offers a great opportunity for you to try your hand at ice skating or cross-country skiing.
If you prefer to view sports rather than take part in them, head to the Bell Centre to watch Canada's favourite pastime, ice hockey. -
Montréal is one of North America's most respected culinary destinations, offering a wide range of options for all budgets.
If you want to sample some traditional Québécois cuisine, try tourtière (meat pie) or poutine (fries with gravy and cheese curds). Classic French dishes are served in restaurants across the city, especially on Boulevard Saint-Laurent. However, there is also no shortage of eateries serving international cuisine, including Italian, African, Arabic, Chinese and Indian, so take your pick. -
There are plenty of shopping opportunities that are worth a trip to Montreal and many of these are not as expensive as some other North American destinations. For well-known brands and department-store shopping, head to Rue Ste-Catherine. For specialty goods, Boulevard Saint Laurent and Rue St-Viateur are your best bets.
Marché Bonsecours is one of the most recognisable buildings in Old Montréal. A public market since 1859, this domed tower is home to artisan boutiques that sell products made by Québec's native talent.

Now, to policy making with some fizz. The mayor of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has proposed limiting the size of sodas and sweetened drinks that can be sold in the city.
Henrietta Davis said she was inspired by the mayor of New York. Michael Bloomberg has proposed a ban on sales of oversized sugary drinks in his city's restaurants. Mayor Davis says soda is a factor behind increasing obesity and heart disease among young people.
One 7-Eleven manager in Cambridge had one word for the proposal: crazy. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Authorities have pulled more than 2,800 dead pigs out of Shanghai's main source of tap water — the Huangpu River. And they're still counting, according to reports on Monday.
The discovery has raised fears of drinking water contamination in China's most populous city, although state media reports that officials have run tests and determined that so far there's nothing to fear.
NPR's Frank Langfitt says Shanghai officials first discovered the pig carcasses last Tuesday in one of the Huangpu's tributaries and that the city has been using dozens of barges to pick up the bloated swine. The number of carcasses was sure to rise, he says.
According to Xinhua, a sample of river water has tested positive for porcine circovirus, which affects pigs but cannot be spread to humans.
A preliminary inquiry has found that the dead pigs originated in Zhejiang province, which is south of Shanghai and upstream on the Huangpu, The New York Times reports.
The newspaper says:
"Many Chinese are expressing growing concern over air, soil and water pollution. In recent weeks, several official news organizations have run articles and editorials casting a spotlight on pollution of some of China's major waterways. In one prominent case, a 39-ton chemical spill on Dec. 31 from a fertilizer factory in Shanxi province affected two other provinces downstream. Local officials had delayed reporting the chemical spill for five days.
"A statement issued Monday by the Shanghai government and posted on its Web site said that there were piglets as well as adult animals weighing hundreds of pounds. Residents in Songjiang District, the area southwest of downtown Shanghai where most of them have been discovered, said this was not the first time they had seen dead pigs in the Huangpu River. But this time, the number was higher than in the past, according to the city government's statement."

Thanks to advances in dental materials, technology, and methods of care, it's easier than ever before to replace missing teeth with the most natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing treatment outcomes. While dental implants and fixed bridgework provide effective and satisfying solutions for missing teeth, removable dentures remain a tried and true method for reestablishing a complete smile.
At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we fabricate dentures from the highest grade of dental materials for a precise and comfortable fit. Our dentures are meticulously designed to rebuild beautiful smiles and support natural facial contours while enabling patients to speak, smile, and chew with renewed confidence and ease.
We're dedicated to helping patients to enjoy the benefits of a beautiful smile and take pride in offering personalized solutions to address their dental needs, lifestyle, and budget.
According to recent statistics, it's estimated that across the country, over 175 million adults have lost at least one tooth, and close to 40 million are missing all of their teeth. In most of these cases, tooth loss is the end result of extensive dental decay, advanced gum disease, a traumatic injury, a congenital anomaly, or associated with a medical condition.
In addition to the psychological and social consequences having embarrassing gaps in your smile often produce, missing teeth can affect your ability to speak clearly and eat a satisfying and nutritious diet. Left unaddressed, missing teeth can also cause gradual changes to your appearance and the alignment of your remaining teeth. These changes not only affect your bite, but they have the potential to create more unsightly and unhealthy gaps in your smile. Furthermore, without the support of a complete set of teeth, facial contours may also begin to look more sagged and haggard over time.
While it's never too late to rebuild a complete and beautiful smile, it's always best to replace missing teeth sooner than later. Both partial and full dentures from the office of Philip Shindler, DDS offer an effective and satisfying solution for reestablishing a complete smile.
Dentures are removable appliances that are designed to precisely and comfortably rest on top of the gums that cover the jawbones. They consist of natural-looking artificial teeth set in a supportive base. In addition to offering a cost-effective solution for the replacement of missing teeth, dentures are quite versatile. They can be used to replace either a few teeth that have been lost or all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaws.
While conventional bridgework and dental implants offer fixed solutions for rebuilding complete smiles, partial and full dentures are removable oral appliances. This statement means it's possible to take dentures out of the mouth to clean and maintain the health of the underlying tissues and any remaining teeth, as well as clean the dentures themselves, or remove them while sleeping.
You can rest assured that rebuilding your smile is in the best of hands at the office of Philip Shindler, DDS. As skilled and experienced providers of care, we'll carefully evaluate all aspects of your smile, the health and integrity of any remaining teeth, along with the surrounding tissues and the supporting bone to develop a treatment plan that satisfies the functional and aesthetic requirements of your case.
The two main types of removable dentures are full dentures and partial dentures. Which of these types offers the best solution for your smile depends on how many natural teeth are still present in your mouth and the health of these remaining teeth. While a partial denture can offer an effective solution in cases where some sturdy natural teeth remain, you may be a candidate for a complete denture when all the upper or lower teeth are missing or require extraction.
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, can effectively replace all the upper teeth, lower teeth, or both the upper and lower teeth. As with other types of dental solutions, there's no one-size-fits-all approach for every case. The ultimate design, fabrication, and insertion of a full denture can vary based upon a patient's specific needs.
This type of denture is fabricated and placed after all of the remaining teeth are removed, and the surrounding tissues have adequately healed. Fabricating a full denture when healing is complete supports a precise and comfortable fit.
Immediate Denture
With an immediate denture, a patient does not have to go without teeth while waiting for complete healing of the extraction sites. Although an immediate denture offers the advantage of not having to go without teeth for any length of time, it can require a reline and adjustments as the tissues remodel and heal. In some cases, for optimal comfort and fit, a conventional denture may eventually be required.
An overdenture is a type of complete denture that receives added stability and support from special attachments that are secured to the remaining underlying teeth or specialized dental implants.
Implant-Supported Dentures
As the name implies, this type of denture attaches to a select number of strategically placed implants in the upper or lower jaw. These small surgical posts provide precise points of attachment for the overlying denture and add a significant measure of stability and retention.
In situations where some sturdy teeth remain, partial dentures can offer an effective solution for the replacement of missing teeth. Partial dentures typically achieve adequate retention and stability with clasps or precision attachments on the teeth adjacent to the edentulous areas (the spaces formerly occupied by the missing teeth).
Removable partial dentures can fill the void left by individual missing teeth and multiple ones to restore the look and function of a complete smile. At the same time a partial denture fills the gaps left by missing teeth; it also stabilizes the dentition and bite and prevents unwanted drifting of the remaining natural teeth.
As with full dentures, partial denture design and fabrication varies based on a patient's specific needs. With advances in dental materials and technology, partial denture wearers have more options than ever before. Today, a partial denture's supportive framework can be fabricated from various materials, including cast metal, flexible resins, and hybrid materials.
At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we're dedicated to building healthy and beautiful smiles. As your trusted partner in care, you can depend on our office to design and fabricate a denture that will look good, fit comfortably, and serve you well for years to come.
Fabricating an attractive, well-fitting, and long-lasting denture requires a comprehensive understanding of oral function, facial aesthetics, dental materials, and appliance design. At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we maintain a position at the forefront of advances in care and successfully combine the art and science of dentistry to provide patients with outstanding treatment outcomes.
Once we've had an opportunity to review your medical and dental history, assess all aspects of your smile, and discuss your expectation of care, we'll discuss the best options for restoring and rebuilding your smile.
Based upon a comprehensive analysis of your case, including advanced diagnostic imaging, we'll advise you if any dental work, additional procedures, or extractions are required prior to the fabrication of a partial or complete denture. It's essential that any remaining teeth are healthy and have sufficient bone support. Sometimes, a pre-prosthetic procedure to improve the tissue anatomy and ensure a denture's optimal fit is recommended.
Having a denture or set of dentures made is a sophisticated process involving dental impressions, framework try-ins, selecting the right shade, shape, and size of the artificial teeth, and making sure that the bite and all aspects of oral function are comfortable and healthy. Whether it takes a single visit or a few visits to fabricate a partial or complete denture, a satisfying and healthy outcome relies on the careful execution of every step in care.
At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, our patients' care and comfort are our top priorities. Our goal is to help patients enjoy optimal oral health and to keep them well informed every step of the way.
Adjusting to wearing a new denture
Getting used to wearing a new denture, especially a full denture, can take a little time. It's not unusual to need some minor adjustments as you begin to speak, chew, and function with your new teeth. It can take a few adjustments to fit completely and feel comfortable. If you have a sore spot, try to wear the denture at least the day before your adjustment visit. In this way, we can see exactly where we need to relieve the area causing your irritation.
More saliva than usual
One of the natural responses to a new denture is for your mouth to produce more saliva. Not to worry, this is only a temporary reaction. The flow of saliva gradually decreases back to a normal level.
Speaking with ease
While it may seem challenging to speak clearly at first with a new denture, that feeling will pass within a few days. It's important to keep talking, as usual, to allow yourself to adapt to your new set of teeth. You can help things along by reading some passages from printed materials or a computer out loud.
Getting used to eating with a denture
If this is your first denture, it can also take some time to adapt to eating with your new prosthesis. Getting used to eating with a full denture is typically more challenging than doing so with a partial denture. It's best to start with soft foods and to avoid chewing on just one side. Your tongue, lips, cheeks, and soft tissues will soon adapt to chewing with your new denture, and from then on, you'll be able to eat with ease.
Taking care of your dentures
It's essential to keep your denture clean! Rinse your dentures after eating and brush them daily. In this way, you can prevent stains and bacteria from accumulating on your new set of teeth. It helps to use a brush designed for dentures. Also, remember to soak your dentures in water when you're not wearing them and at least once a week in the recommended denture cleaner.
Brush any remaining teeth as well as your gums to keep them clean and the tissues healthy and firm. If you wear an upper denture, rinse and gently clean the roof of your mouth as well.
Take your dentures out at bedtime. This practice gives the gums and the jawbone a chance to rest, helping to prevent irritation and infection as well as bone resorption (shrinkage).
Added stability
Due to the status of the underlying tissues and other factors, there are some cases where full dentures benefit from additional means of retention. While denture adhesive is often sufficient, full dentures that are implant-supported or clip onto special attachments offer added stability and retention.
Follow-up care
Maintaining oral health and overall well-being involves routine checkups and care. At these visits, we not only check the fit and condition of your dentures but we also perform a comprehensive exam to check the status of any remaining teeth as well as assess the health of all of the soft and hard tissues in and around the oral cavity.
Over time, the tissues supporting the denture can change. As the shape and contours of these tissues shrink or remodel, your denture may not fit as comfortably or feel as stable as it once did. A separate procedure, which is known as a reline, may be recommended.
At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we're dedicated to providing the highest quality of care. If you have any additional questions or concerns about your new dentures, feel free to contact our office.
Today, it's easier than ever to replace missing teeth and achieve natural-looking, durable, and long-lasting results! Depending a patient's dental needs, lifestyle, expectations of care, and budget, choices can include conventional fixed bridgework, dental implants, or removable partial and complete dentures. At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we'll discuss all your options in care and answer all your questions as you choose the solution that's right for you.
With advances in dental materials and technology, today's dentures are more comfortable and realistic-looking than ever before.
Whether you wear partial or complete dentures, it's essential to see the dentist for routine care. Besides checking the fit and condition of your dentures and making any necessary adjustments, you'll also receive a comprehensive exam to check on the health of any remaining teeth as well the soft and hard tissues in and around the oral cavity.
A same-day denture offers an accelerated design and fabrication process that allows a patient to go from impression taking to denture insertion in a single day.
For patients who don't want to wait after having teeth extracted, an immediate denture can be inserted the same day your teeth are removed. Sometime later you may need the denture reline to address any changes in its fit once the extraction sites have completely healed.
While no one wants to drop or break a partial or complete denture, accidents do happen. The good news is that in some cases, your partial or complete denture is reparable. It all depends on the extent of the damage. Don't hesitate to contact our office if you've broken or damaged your denture. We're happy to help.
The simple act of taking your partial denture in and out can cause certain types of metal clasps to loosen over time. When you come in for your checkup visit or contact our office for an adjustment, we'll assess the fit of your partial and tighten the clasps for improved stability and comfort.
While rebuilding a complete smile is a worthwhile investment, our office is sensitive to the costs involved in dental care. We customized care and will discuss which treatment options address your needs, lifestyle, and budget. How much a new denture will cost depends on the type of the prosthesis, its design, and the materials used to fabricate the supportive base, teeth, and clasps or precision attachments. Dentures that include the placement of dental implants for added retention and stability typically involve additional costs.
If you have dental insurance, your coverage may include a new or replacement set of dentures. Our staff is happy to review your coverage with you to ensure you are maximizing your insurance benefits while minimizing any out of pocket expenses.
At the office of Philip Shindler, DDS, we provide an extensive range of dental services, including the latest and most effective methods to help patients with missing teeth rebuild complete and beautiful smiles. As skilled and experienced professionals, we recognize that every patient is different, and every smile is unique. We're passionate about what we do and take great pride in providing personalized treatment plans while treating our patients as valued partners in care.

If You Want Something Done Right...
Wednesday, September 2, 2009
"No, dear, it will not be fine; now it looks like we're hosting a baby funeral!
"Hm? Well, what about your cupcakes? How are they supposed to help?"
"Well, what did you expect me to say?!? Yes, I think everyone will 'get the visual', dear. That's the problem.
"Because it's gross, that's why!
"Now look, I need you to go back to the bakery - are you listening to me? - I need you to go back to the bakery, and get another cake. And remember: We are preparing for a new life. Happy, cheerful, life. We are avoiding death, mmkay? Got that? Good. Now hurry up; the party starts in an hour."
Dylan B., Angie F., & Meghan E., I'm told that cupcake is vegan. Anyone else find that ironic?
And speaking of which, if you live in Utah and are imagining all the events you could liven up with some gourmet vegan fetus-cupcakes, then you can order them here. (Uh, I don't think they call them fetus-cupcakes, though. And please don't tell them I sent you. Heh.)

The first cake makes me wonder why people at bakeries don't double check things like that. Just in case it might be the wrong order and horrify everybody who sees it.
The second cake looks like Neo took the red pill and got freed from the Matrix... as a baby. - September 2, 2009 at 9:38 AM
#1 seems like plain bad judgement

Responses in my head, in order of appearance:
1. Seriously? Frosting on a baby casket, seems morbid and unbalanced...oh, wait, it's a "cake."
2. Ew. Gross. Ew, ew, ew EW. (cheeks puff out, slight urping noise, taste of vomit in back of mouth) Eeewwwwwww.....
3. What the F---?!!! Why am I even surprised? Where's the coffee? - September 2, 2009 at 9:46 AM
I can usually figure out what the "professional" baker is going for, no matter how poorly executed (pun intended), but I am at a loss this time! What could the first cake have been other than a casket? A headstone? Is that better?
The cupcake seems a bit morbid, but I worry more about the choking hazard...who expects plastic babies in a cupcake?
Is the third cake one cake!? Again, I am at a loss. I would love to hear the story behind these!

Ok, so the cupcake, I thought I had a twisted sense of humor, but that just brings it to new lows. To me it says: "Here, we're going to give you a glimpse of childbirth, in a cupcake, complete with realistic bloody goo". What is wrong with people??

We have entered a truly bizarre dimension.
I am trying to wrap my mind around the cupcakes- do they bake a potentially lethal plastic in with the filling or are the baby and blood-like filling injected after baking? Either way- yuck.
And that last cake- I do not think there is an explanation that could cover that. - September 2, 2009 at 10:28 AM

"What should I do for the baby shower?"
"Definitely feed us cupcakes."
"Yeah, feed us cupcakes."
Hmm, fetus cupcakes. Weird, but if that's what they want. - September 2, 2009 at 10:31 AM
I think the vegan fetus cupcake is probably the single most disgusting thing I've ever seen, and I watch those parasitology TV shows for fun! I went to that vegan baker's website and they have the audacity to say they use "butter cream frosting". HAHAHA! Seriously? Vegan butter cream? Talk about irony there, Jen!

Okay, that "fetus cake" is the first thing on cake wrecks I would never eat! Up until now I'd be able to eat the cakes but that cupcake just makes me feel sick!

But someone said "Hey, you know what would be great? Cupcakes that gave birth! Yum!" Oh, and the last one....I don't even have words. Wow...
- September 2, 2009 at 10:36 AM
It looks like the cupcakes could be a variation of the King's cake game, which I know is popular in New Orleans because of Mardi Gras. I know a fair amount of Greek and Serbian folks who make King's cake for Epiphany, too, so I don't think it's just a Creole or bayou thing.
A King's cake has an object baked into it, traditionally a bean, though I've also seen marshmallows, jellybeans, plastic babies, and small crosses used (depending on the baker's fondness for choking hazards). Whoever finds it in their slice is the king or queen of the festival (in my case, a church Epiphany potluck) and has to make next year's cake.
I've heard that the plastic baby represents Jesus (which makes sense for Epiphany but not Mardi Gras), but I've also heard that it started when a New Orleans bakery ran out of beans and started sticking tiny kewpie dolls in their King's cakes instead. I don't want to know why they had so many of those lying around they could start a whole freakin' tradition...
King's cupcakes do seem like a convenient update, but I think that if you insist on strawberry filling, opt for the bean. - September 2, 2009 at 10:37 AM

I know that our local bakery tapes the tiny plastic baby to the side of the box of the king cake in order to avoid the choking lawsuit -you place it where you want in the cake before you serve it! Man is that scary.

I suspect that last cake is meant to celebrate the fact that somebody decided not to abort the baby. Or maybe someone very old is having a baby?

Yeeeeoookay, look. Cake is meant to be the last bastion of HAPPY in the world. When you come home from a long day at the wage-slave cube farm, finish reading the papers about the death of the economy and the fact that you will NEVER EVER get to retire, not EVER; when you've paid your bills out of the freshly-deposited paycheck and realize that you will be eating ramen for the next two weeks...
At the end of all that, there should be CAKE (glory-noise SFX)--the final remnants of purity and pure JOY in the world.
These cakes? There ain't no joy in these cakes. There's not even any joy in the same ZIP CODE as these cakes. These, in fact, do not qualify as cakes--they are malevolent, saddening imposter-creatures. And that cup"cake"--no matter WHAT the "explanation" might be--is unconscionable. That is a large order of EEEEWWWW, with a side of BLARGHHHHH.
Now, having said that...Can anyone else admit the possiblity that the last cake is really TWO SEPARATE, unrelated cakes in very close proximity? I'm reaching here, I realize, but in the absence of a logical explanation, my mind reaches for the next best thing.
(That cupcake....maaan. Did I mention "EEEEEEWWWWWWW"? I did? Well, consider this a reminder, or something---EEEEEEEEWWWWWW.) - September 2, 2009 at 11:36 AM

Those cupcakes are disgusting looking. I mean, it takes a lot for me to not want to eat a cake, but I think this is the first time I really could NOT stomach it. - September 2, 2009 at 12:43 PM
These are possibly the most disturbing cakes/cupcakes I have seen here. And that's saying a lot! Just...wow. No words.

Okay, it wasn't just my eyes, that I saw a pink coffin or a pink graveyard. Good, that my phantasies didn't fool me, but the cake is still creepy. The "pro-life"-cupcake is extremly creepy. And dangerous. Imagine, someone swallow this plastic baby. I mean, in the worst case scenario you can truly say: "A new life doesn't avoid dead." And that is a good lead to the third cake. This is creepy and unlogic. Have you ever heard, that someone stopped dying because a baby was born??? Or didn't I understand the secret logic behind that. I mean, I am a foreigner. Maybe it is a common term in the U.S.A. that I just don't know?

So, nine years after my infant daughter died, they finally came out with a cake we could have used for her funeral. It certainly would have livened things up at the luncheon after the burial.

The cupcake one actually made my stomach twist. Thank you for a little dose of horror this morning! :P

K the last cake made me laugh so hard. I could not imagine having that at a baby shower. The first on was akward and I agree with the other posts you think they would check these things. Ans the cupcake words fail me.....

HOLY. CRAP. I thought those baby oozing cupcakes were bad until I saw the life & death cake. I seriously gasped and covered my mouth I was so shocked!!
- September 2, 2009 at 2:05 PM
I think the cupcake is an arrangement, a custom made bad joke. The victim places the fork into the wreck to be... (surpriiiise!), an idiot comes out of somewhere laughing insanely: Just kiddin, just kiddin...(mmmmuaa-ha-ha-ha-haaaaa)[snif-snif]...gimme a hug (aaaaaaaa-hahahaha-mmmmuu-huhu-hahaha-...haaa..!)say hello to the camera sweetie.(captures kodak moments)...Larry you can bring the caaaaaake!!
By the way, number 1 should be in the cover of a CD featuring the single Gothic Pinata Cake. - September 2, 2009 at 2:06 PM
Wow. What on EARTH were those wreckerators thinking??? There's no way they can pass that first one off as anything BUT a pink coffin (hostess was ticked at the mother-to-be, perhaps?). The fetus cupcakes could have been cute if they'd made the filling pretty much ANY other color (I'm from Mardi Gras country, so I got the idea). The last one, though, baffles me. My parents lumped my brother's Christening and their marriage vow renewal into one lovely ceremony and had one cake (lemon--no specific theme), but I can't think of any combination of parties that would lead to that monstrosity!!! And, of course, someone gets a piece with baby head on it. That's appetizing. Yeesh...

I'm thinking the cupcake, however disturbing, might have just been an unintended wreck. Maybe they just ordered strawberry filled cupcakes and wanted to add the traditional Mardi Gras baby everyone keeps mentioning. Not realizing what the end result would look like.
No one in their right mind would make that on purpose! - September 2, 2009 at 2:17 PM
Stunned. I. am. stunned.
Which would be my reaction if I got the first one. I would not be able to stomach eating the second or the third.
Until this blog, I never thought that I would say that.
Jen, please find out the story behind the last cake. I am hoping that there is an explanation that makes it less horrific. - September 2, 2009 at 2:28 PM

I'm a little skeptical about the authenticity of the cupcake. There is nothing on the bakery's website to indicate that they made or sell the cupcake with the baby in it. In fact, it looks like a decent bakery. I'm wondering if the baby wasn't added later after the cupcake came home.
- September 2, 2009 at 3:36 PM
Man walks into a bakery
"Er hi, we're having a party and we'd like a cake in the shape of a baby basket."
"a Casket? Oh I'm so sorry for your loss."
HOW did no one twig??? - September 2, 2009 at 3:41 PM

That baby cupcake totally made my day and cheered me up! (wait, lemme explain!)
A few years ago my then roommate and I made a Cthulu jello mold for a Halloween party, and in each of his tentacles we had a little plastic baby. We made a sign to put next to the dish that warned against eating the babies, but it just maked the dish that much funnier. It was the hit of the party! Our friends still bring it up at ever Halloween party since.
I'm so gonna have to make those cupcakes this year!
The first cake is just hilarious, but the last one is totally creepy. 0_o
Unfortunately, this post is just more proof in my theory that baby shower cakes are the most twisted, evil things on the planet. - September 2, 2009 at 4:06 PM
The cupcake made my jaw drop. And I too had to go to the bakery website where there was no 'fetus' listed in the fillings column.

Really? Do you have ANY background whatsoever on the last one? That's just bizarre.
- September 2, 2009 at 4:09 PM
I think it was the moment of shocked understanding coming so suddenly, but the cupcake made me laugh HARD -- harder than I have in quite awhile. Now that I've read the rest of the comments, most from the horrified camp, I'm beginning to think there's something wrong with me.
Anyway, thanks. :) - September 2, 2009 at 4:10 PM

For real, get off the cupcake. It just lacks the caption "You got your little plastic toy in my jelly filled cupcake!" a la Reese's PB cups. And then it would almost make sense.
And the casket is weird and unfortunate.
But HOLY CRAP what is going on with cake number 3???????? There is something profoundly unwell lurking in that frosting. - September 2, 2009 at 6:35 PM
That cupcake is the worst thing I've ever seen! OMG! Ha ha ha!!!
- September 2, 2009 at 6:42 PM
for CW#1, I am just choosing to believe that this is a congratulatory cake for the #1 female casket salesperson at the Happy Times Mortuary. Obviously a full-size casket replica would be an overabundance of cake; hence, the miniature version -- not a casket for a baby, just a "baby-size" casket.
Or the wreckorator misread "basket" as "casket". Common error. Usually a result of coming into the world in the form of: bleeding cupcake. - September 2, 2009 at 6:44 PM

This comment brought to you by all the prior comments that intrigued me enough to comment.
The last cake would have been decent if it hadn't insisted on taking a Halloween graveyard scene on one side. Or pink, mutated, lady bugs infesting the other.
Okay, so the sentiment could have been nice if it hadn't been done in such a haphazard way. Because if you've found there's something physically wrong with your child and there is a doubt of the birth going well I can see wanting to reflect as much on the centerpiece a.k.a. the cake.
I can't see it wanting to be done in such a rudimentary, hapless sort of way. Because, really, all the second half of the cake needs is bats and a yellow moon.
And if it is, indeed, for a mother pregnant with an anencephalic baby...well, tasteful would be a helpful adjective for constructive criticism. A tombstone? Really?
My word verification looks to be parwe. As in these cakes didn't make PAR so WE quit. - September 2, 2009 at 7:20 PM
On my screen, that cupcake goo is vaguely orange. Aah, I said, so that's where carrot-riding mohawk babies come from! They are born bald, and brought down to us by sweetly frosted cupcake angels. The carrot puree is obviously for comfort in transit.... musta been a bumpy landing though :)
... okay, so that helped me over the grossitude!

WV: renail: keep trying those funeral cakes until you renail it! - September 2, 2009 at 7:27 PM
I'm surprised no one has suggested it yet...judging by the crucifix and the word "Congratulations," I think #1 may be a First Communion cake (or maybe confirmation?) I haven't been inside a Catholic church in a long time, but don't they store the communion bread and wine in a little shrine thing? The cake may be that instead of a coffin.
#2 is probably someone's idea of a morbid joke. I know plenty of people who would think it's funny. I've never seen a King Cake made as a cupcake or with fruit filling. They're usually elliptical rings of cinammon dough with glaze and colored sugar on top.
I'm guessing #3 is either two cakes placed together for a funny photo or for someone who is both pregnant and has recently had a brush with death. - September 2, 2009 at 7:33 PM
#1 might also be a poor attempt at making a Bible-shaped cake, if the "handles" on the side are meant to be pages or a book's binding. Either way, I prefer to think this is meant for a religious ceremony other than a funeral.
- September 2, 2009 at 7:36 PM

What you are thinking of is called a tabernacle and it looks *nothing* like that first cake, even though there are innumerable variations of form. (And as a side note, only the "communion bread" is reserved there, more correctly termed the Eucharist.)

I come here to shake my head in wonder at the craziness that is our human imagination. It never fails to disappoint.
To those who say "this post was insenstive to women who've experienced miscarriage" folks, I think everyone here gets that. Indeed, with 25% odds of having a miscarriage, the likelihood that others here have experienced it is high. Jen is right in showing these because they are WRECKS. There very existance is insensitive, and if seeing them lined up here keeps some other baker from making these WRECKTASTIC choices, bring it on for us to openly ridicule, I say!
Thanks, Jen, for the continuing good work. These are, indeed, revolting! - September 3, 2009 at 4:24 AM

For those of you who don't live in the south, here's a little background on the plastic baby. Yes, it is plastic, and no, it is not intended to be eaten. It is a cajun custom to hide a little plastic baby into a "King Cake" (you can Google that and see) at Mardi Gras time. Everyone knows it is there, so no one chokes on it because they are on the lookout. If I remember right, the baby is (or was originally) supposed to signify the baby Jesus? All I know is, in my family if you get the baby in the King Cake, you have to bring the King Cake next year.
Now, that being said.......what.the.hell??? What were these people thinking???? Ew!! - September 3, 2009 at 7:49 AM

- September 3, 2009 at 8:45 AM
If you follow the myspace link given earlier for the vegan cupcakes and click through a bit, they also do a lovely line of vegan chocolate mint decorated with plastic green soldiers so maybe they have a thing for small chokables.
As to the third, the only possible explanation I can think of is someone is pregnant after cancer and being told they couldn't have kids. Even then, it's tasteless in the extreme! - September 3, 2009 at 9:48 AM
I am hoping we can get an explanation of cake #3. The first 2 seem like regular goof-ups, but #3 looks like they got exactly what they ordered. One comment said that maybe a pregnant woman recently survived a life-threatening situation, so they were celebrating both. I think that's the most happy explanation we can hope for.

@blueraindrop, my daughter Emily's sonogram picture didn't look quite like that (with anencephaly). The baby on cake #3 has too much forehead formation to be anencephalic.

You know, I think all these insane baby shower cakes could be chalked up to the hormonal nuttiness surrounding childbearing. Some of us just plain go bonkers when we're pregnant, and I think it might be contagious. Obviously it must be, since there are people actually agreeing to make these cakes.

I don't understand the last cake. The first and the second, okay, they're weird, but I can think of situations where they are possible cake choices.
I don't understand the situation that would merit the last cake. I don't understand what you would have to order to get something like that.

I am proud to say I am the "twisted mind" behind the baby goo cupcakes. Just to clarify... I own the bakery, and the cupcakes were for my baby shower and meant to be a fetus and the goo was meant to be blood. I did inform people that there were things inside to be aware of before consumption (to avoid chokings).
I'm really excited that so many people were so disturbed by them! I have also decided that "plastic babies" needs to be added to my list of fillings on the website, I have had a few people ask me to make them since the originals. - September 5, 2009 at 6:34 PM

The flies on that last one are the crowning touch. Brilliant!

The last one is a side-by-side, they just so happen to be celebrating a baby shower for one person, and a 50th birthday for another. We do them at my bakery for multiple celebrations.

The first cake should have been iced all white with gold handles - it makes it even creepier. Ouch.

Maybe the 3rd cake was one of those cases where a couple has a second child with intentions of using cord blood stem cells to cure a disease in the first child? I know it's reaching, but that was all I could come up with in my active imagination.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
