In this day and age, we have the design capability to capture any incredible vision we wish to create indoors. When it comes to flooring, you don't have to gravitate towards traditional visuals or skimp on style due to budget concerns. Modern flooring trends have created a wealth of options for homeowners and interior designers alike to being rooms alive with fashion and function. Every timeless flooring option still experiences new visuals and popularity surges, while innovative surfaces are continually being introduced and used in exciting ways.
Here are some of the modern trends that are turning heads and making a major impact in home décor:
When it comes to style, a resurgence of black and white, art deco-inspired interiors has become a modern trend with a nod to the past. Flooring materials such as tile, vinyl, stone, and marble make this 80's influenced block flooring easily achievable among many different price points and textures. If you want to use this somewhat brave direction as a foundation for an unforgettable room, these floors look exceptionally bold when paired with another popular trend of using home furnishings that feature matte black metal. A black and white patterned floor looks equally awesome with home furnishings of wide, varied colors and patterns for funky, hip areas that are anything but predictable.
Many homes feature concrete subfloors- But have you ever thought of showcasing a concrete floor as your primary surface? Modern flooring trends have shown that more daring homeowners are looking at concrete beyond garages and basements. In fact, concrete is being used to create bold kitchens that play off of natural wood cabinetry and polished chrome appliances perfectly. In addition to being moisture resistant, concrete is sustainable, low maintenance, affordable and long-lasting. You may only think of grey color when it comes to concrete, but glossing, acid staining, color overlays, and texturizing will add major style and can be done quickly. Concrete floors are perfect for making your home décor pop and adding a cool industrial edge to modern homes. If you're ready for the concrete look but not quite ready to make your subfloor your primary floor, there are also tile and luxury vinyl products that mimic this modern look.
Many homeowners have learned that cork is not just for wine bottles anymore: cork flooring definitely works for fashionable modern kitchens as well. Cork immediately adds visual interest and texture in kitchens, as well as comfort underfoot and warmth. Since your kitchen is a high-traffic area and will need moisture resistance, a cork floor has to be sanded and polished in order to perform how you need it to. Luckily, cork is an outstanding affordable option that is still cheaper per square foot than most flooring choices, even after these preparation steps are taken care of. With more and more owners taking environmental concerns and allergies into account when shopping for flooring, cork offers a renewable flooring type that also has valuable antimicrobial properties.
The key to keeping up with modern flooring trends is to commit to the vision you have and the surfaces you love, and will love for many years. Flooring is a major budget investment and you live with that investment every day. Capture the personality you want for your home or rooms and you will always be happy with your decisions. Don't be afraid to use a room visualizer to play around with flooring ideas you might not have originally considered- You may just stumble upon the dream room that you will love and love to show off!

As always,a sweet start for the new year and the new decade.Churmundo literally means Churma laddoo,ie laddoo made with atta/wheat flour.I've always been a lover of its cousin Besan laddoo and thought both were the same when I had it first.Boy,I was wrong.Churmundo is a totally different kind of laddoo,one which literally melts in your mouth.Or rather,powders in your mouth.
I've not always had success while making this laddoo.Maybe it was lack of practice or maybe I did it wrong.Few days back while ma-in-law was here,we did this together and I realized,the making of laddoos into round balls was the toughest thing…:).Rest of the method is Jujubi[non-Chennai-ites please excuse..this is a famous Rajni slang:)]
At the cost of sounding immodest,this laddoo won me second prize in a Cookery competition held at our colony as part of the Annual day celebrations..:)
Churmundo / Churma Laddoo
[Wheat flour Laddoo]
Atta/wheat flour – 2 cups
Sugar – 2 cups
Cardamom – 2-3 seeds[whole]
Ghee – 6 tbsps
Cashewnuts,raisins – a handful,fried in ghee[optional]
Powder the sugar along with the cardamom.
In a thick bottomed kadai,add 5 tbsp ghee and let it liquefy.
Add the atta and mix well-the mixture will start bubbling,keep stirring.
Roast the atta for 20-25 minutes on low flame stirring continuously.
Switch off the flame and add the powdered sugar.
[you could add the nuts at this point,if adding]
Melt the remaining 1 tbsp ghee and add it to the mix and make laddoos while the mix is still warm.

Product Description
Army Recruiting 28" x 20" Guidon Design 2820-D2 Framed. The framed army guidon features triple acid-free mats, an embroidered single-sided guidon sewn in place, 7 object openings, an open V-Groove, 99% UV protected acrylic glazing, and your choice of three frame profiles. (ALLOW THREE WEEKS FOR DELIVERY) Rush Orders Call: 1-912-756-2781
Army Recruiting 28" x 20" Guidon Design 2820-D2 Framed. The framed army guidon features an embroidered single-sided guidon sewn onto the bottom acid-free mat. The Army Recruiting guidon has triple acid-free mats. The top two mats are cut into the shape of the guidon with an opening for each object. The bottom mat is used for mounting objects in the openings. This guidon design features 7 object openings. The first opening is for the guidon. Within the guidon's swallowtail is an opening for a patch or similar size object. Under the guidon are five object openings. From left the right they include: a challenge coin, rank pin, nameplate, rank pin, and a challenge coin or similar size objects. The design also includes an open V-groove immediately around the Army Recruiting guidon and nameplate. Surrounding the mats is a traditional 2" wide medium brown tone wood frame with metal corner caps. Other frame options include a 2" wide black matte finish wood frame or a 2" wide cherry finish wood frame. The glazing for the frame is 99% UV protected acrylic.
Army Recruiting 28" x 20" Guidon Design 2820-D2 Framed – Features & Conditions:
- An embroidered single-sided cotton guidon for display that is included in the price.
- The embroidered guidon is sewn onto the bottom acid-free mat to prevent it from sagging or shifting in the future.
- This 28" x 20" Army Recruiting guidon design contains seven object openings for the guidon, patch, two challenge coins, two rank pins, and nameplate.
- The nameplate is included in the price. The area for the nameplate is approximately 5" x 2.5". Our standard plate size permits 5 lines of print, with 35 characters per line.
- Select one of the four nameplate designs. Provide the correct information to be printed on the nameplate. Contact us if you desire a larger plate so we can quote the additional cost.
- The Army Recruiting guidon utilizes our suggested acid-free triple mats for the color combination that best complements the guidon. Contact us with your questions about mat color substitutions.
- The frame consists of triple acid-free mats. The top two mats are cut into the shape of the guidon with an opening for each object. Also, the bottom mat is used for mounting the objects (coins, patches, insignia, crests, etc.)
- The design features our signature open V-Groove that surrounds the guidon and objects inside the frame.
- An open V-groove is a very complex design which involves cutting the top mat into two separate pieces and properly aligning them in place around the guidon and objects. This is a design rarely attempted by other framers. (Please do not confuse the open V-Groove with the closed V-Groove.)
- The aesthetic value of the open V-groove with triple acid-free mats provides added depth. This in turn focuses your attention to the center of the completed guidon project.
- A hidden component to the framing design is the acid-free foamboard spacers that separate the glazing from the metal objects. The foamboard spacers prevent scratches to the glazing from any metal objects inside the frame and offers added depth and dimension to the framed piece.
- A medium brown tone wood frame with metal corner caps pictured in this example is our most popular frame for guidons and military framing projects. It is also the default selection used for display.
- We offer three frame profile options: 2" wide medium brown tone wood frame in a traditional profile with metal corner caps (the default selection) with an outside diameter of 39.375"W x 35.75"H, a 2" wide matte black wood frame in a transitional contemporary profile with an outside diameter of 39.375"W x 35.75"H, or a 2" wide cherry finish wood frame in a contemporary profile with an outside diameter of 39.375"W x 35.75"H.
- Glazing for the framed Army Recruiting Guidon consists of 99% UV protected acrylic to prevent fading and discoloration of the guidon, mats, and any non-metal object. The UV protected acrylic also minimizes the chances of damage from breakage during shipping.
- All guidons shipped from our facility include 99% UV protected acrylic glazing. If you desire to pick up the guidon, contact us, and we will discuss other glazing options.
- The design packages depicted throughout this site for the Army Recruiting Guidon are the most often requested. However, we offer a number of custom framing options. We invite you to view custom examples in our completed projects section. Feel free to contact us with any specific design questions regarding customization.
- All guidons shipped within the lower 48 states receive free shipping and insurance through FedEx Ground Service Ground Service.
- The guidon is framed using conservation quality materials (acid-free mats, tape, foamboard, and backing paper) to produce a "heirloom piece" for generations to enjoy.
- A turn-around time for a typically framed guidon order is three weeks. Contact us for rush order availability and pricing at 1-912-756-2781.
- We must receive within 5 days of the order the objects (i.e. challenge coins, patches, rank pins, unit crests, and insignias) to be included in the guidon frame at the customer's shipping expense.
- Customers may furnish their own guidon with shipping at their expense. Please contact us for price variance.
- Please Note: mat colors and guidon colors may vary slightly from the example on your monitor. This is due to monitor inconsistencies and the dyes contained within different bolts of cloth.

- A study published in the July 1, 1998 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that chiropractic treatment is appropriate for low-back pain in a considerable number of cases. This study by the Rand Corporation found that 46 percent of a sample of low-back pain patients received appropriate care from doctors of chiropractic - an appropriateness rating similar to that of common medical procedures.
- Poll results released in January 1998 by Landmark Healthcare, Inc., showed that one in every five adults ages 55 to 64 has used chiropractic care.
- A December 1997 report from the Federal Agency for Health Policy and Research (AHCPR) notes that the chiropractic profession is now the third largest group of doctoral-level providers in the United States (after medical doctors and dentists).
- That same AHCPR report shows that fully 80 percent of American workers in conventional insurance plans, preferred providers organizations (PPOs), and point-of-service plans now have coverage that pays at least part of the cost of chiropractic care.
As the recent AHCPR report states, "In the areas of training, practice and research, chiropractic has emerged from the periphery of the health care system and is playing an increasingly important role in discussions of health care policy." And, notes a March 1998 article in Business and Health magazine, "Many companies say chiropractic coverage has lowered their medical and workers' comp costs, while raising overall health and productivity. 'It's one of the best benefits possible from a quality, quantity and pricing perspective,' says George McGregor, president of [a firm that is a third-party administrator]." The article also cites an Oregon study, which found that median work time lost for employees with back injuries who used chiropractic care was only 9 days as compared with 34.5 days for workers who used medical care.
Quick relief of symptoms and sustained effectiveness have long attracted consumers to chiropractic care. In fact, in just one year -- 1997 -- more than 20 million adults used chiropractic services. The 1994 AHCPR guidelines for low-back pain concluded that spinal manipulation, chiropractic's primary treatment technique, is one of only three treatments whose effectiveness is substantiated by rigorous research. According to a 1992 RAND Corp. study, patients see a chiropractor primarily for low back pain and neck pain, though many seek chiropractic care for mid-back pain, extremity problems, headaches and other symptoms as well.
Because back pain is so pervasive in our society, a recent study published in the British Medical Journal pointing out that back pain doesn't go away that easily confirmed what chiropractors have always known. Only 25 percent of low back pain sufferers had fully recovered 12 months after their first visit to a general practitioner, the study said. This low number is in conflict with the commonly-held notion that low back pain episodes go away by themselves after a month. "This hardly comes as a surprise to low back pain sufferers who have been told by their medical doctors not to worry - the pain will go away on its own," said Dr. Michael Pedigo, president of the American Chiropractic Association. "In many cases, further treatment is necessary."
Doctors of chiropractic have long understood the cyclic nature of low back pain, and perhaps this is one of the reasons they consistently rate higher than MDs in patient satisfaction in this area. In a recent Gallup poll, 90 percent of all people who visited a chiropractor agreed that their care was effective.
Successful outcomes in both effectiveness and patient satisfaction, have paved the way for chiropractors to enter the mainstream of health care services. Some have even begun to collaborate with medical doctors in integrated health care practices. As reported in the May/June 1998 issue of Health magazine, the prestigious Texas Back Institute (TBI) at one time included only surgeons and other M.D.s. Then, about ten years ago, when TBI's medical doctors discovered chiropractic's success with lower back pain, they hired their first chiropractor. Now, according to one administrator quoted in the article, about 50 percent of the Institute's patients see a chiropractor first when beginning their treatment. Also, the Washington Post recently reported on the success of the 5-year-old company, American WholeHealth, whose clinics incorporate a consumer-driven mix of traditional medical and alternative health care including chiropractic.
Due to years of criticism -- and even an illegal boycott by the American Medical Association -- chiropractic training was sometimes called into question. However, the fact remains, chiropractors must complete a minimum of 6 and, on average, 7 years of college and post-graduate study to earn their degrees. Their education includes at least 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience, and as much -- and sometimes more than -- course work in anatomy and physiology as most medical doctors. After they receive their degrees from one of the nation's 17 accredited chiropractic colleges, they have to pass rigorous exams and be licensed by the state before they can open a practice. The practice of chiropractic is licensed in all 50 states, and in 1994 there were approximately 50,000 chiropractors licensed in the United States. This number is expected to double by the year 2010, according to the 1997 AHCPR report.
"These recent surveys and reports finally vindicate the chiropractic profession after years of enduring doubt, questions and criticism about our training and practices," said Dr. Pedigo. "What the health care and medical communities are just beginning to accept is what our patients have known all along -- that our treatment is safe, effective and highly successful at improving their quality of life."

Overwhelmingly, real estate agents honorably perform their professional duties. However, sellers like you are just one of many when an agent focuses on the almighty dollar instead of fulfilling their fiduciary duty to you. Read on to discover five of the signs of a bad real estate agent.
A fiduciary relationship in real estate includes a buyer or seller, referred to as the principal, in a signed contract with an agent. A licensed professional real estate agent has both a legal and moral obligation to hold your best interest at the forefront of all actions. An agent has intimate knowledge of your financial and personal information. The temptation to leverage data for their betterment in a transaction exists, such as revealing your details to the buyer, providing them with power at the negotiating table to get the sale. Sadly, some agents have a focus that is purely about money, and while we all work to earn a living, a real estate agent is breaking the law should they fail to act ethically, which is most definitely a sign of a bad real estate agent.
No Answer
Communication is essential to success, especially in real estate sales. Are your calls or questions going unanswered? If so, you can be confident that managing phone calls will be optional with every client and professional the agent encounters. It is not a great leap of the imagination to assume that interested buyers are probably getting no reply to inquiries. This lack of responsiveness is a glaring warning sign of a bad real estate agent, and you would be better off without their assistance. At Homely, we keep in touch and are here for you all the way! At Homely, we always welcome all of your questions and calls because they help us best guide you.
While showings can be a real pain, the deafening silence as you wait day by day for the right buyer can be excruciating, especially as days turn into months. Are there excuses for why your listing isn't getting any action, even when your agent has charged you exorbitant marketing fees for photographers and staging as a part of your contract? It is much more likely you are dealing with disorganization or complete apathy about essential business matters. Showing up late to meetings, failing to follow through on marketing your listing, or missing important deadlines can be extremely costly and is an enormous sign of a bad real estate agent.
Methods and Means
Your real estate agent shouldn't leave you to feel as if you are handling your real estate deal all alone when you agreed to a real estate agent to represent you. It takes dedication, time, and expertise, and an expense account for a pro to coordinate everything it takes to sell what is most likely your most valuable asset, your home. Either the agent is irresponsible or lacks the training and most up-to-date technical applications or the financial means to do their job correctly; this is another sign of a bad real estate agent.
SOME agents are driven by greed and just after the commission. They do not care about the client or if your needs are met and may present themselves as having specialized in the market of higher-end properties. They may even have properties of other agents showing in their ads to mislead sellers and get a listing. These real estate agents will likely also embellish the number of years they have been agents leading you to believe they have years more experience than, in reality, is one sign of a bad real estate agent. They may also say that they have handled plenty of listings. It is easy to check how many listings they currently have and what sites they are on and verify their background, just as you would when hiring any professional.
Why not avoid learning these and other signs of a bad real estate agent for yourself?
Homely does not charge commissions. It is our driving passion at Homely to find real solutions for your problems. We always put you first! Our goal is to help you meet your immediate financial needs while helping you earn the highest profits from the sale. Whether the best sales method for you is a traditional listing or direct sale to Homely, based on your circumstances. We will lay everything out from each method to help you make the best decision. And what we offer is what you receive because we don't have any hidden fees to surprise you with at closings, either. At Homely, we pay cash and will close when it's convenient for you. You can rely on the experienced licensed professional buyers at Homely. Send us a message or call Homely at (949) 289-9440 today to learn more.

This headline may make you go "huh?"
"Biggest Python in Florida Snake Hunt Released Back into the Wild."
Read into that story from ABC News, though, and you will soon learn the reason why the more than 11-foot-long snake and two of his smaller cousins were set free instead of killed when the state's 2013 Python Challenge ended over the weekend.
They've each been implanted with two transmitters in the hope that they'll lead researchers to breeding females — who will in turn then be captured and killed.
In other words, these three snakes are studs sent out to snitch.
As authorities try to get a hold on the state's python problem — "as many as 150,000 of them [are] slithering about in the Florida underbrush," as Korva wrote Saturday — they want to track down those females during this current breeding season.
They're also hoping to recapture the tagged snakes.
About 1,600 people signed up to hunt pythons during the 2013 challenge. Sixty eight snakes were caught this year.
Update at 12:45 p.m. ET. A Little More And A Little Video:
Frank Mazzotti, a professor of wildlife at the University of Florida who helped organize the python challenge, emails us to say that the big snake measured 11 feet, 1 inch, while the other two that now have transmitters are each 8- to 9-feet long.
And if you want to learn more about the python problem in Florida, there's a video from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.

There was a bit of laughter but also a lot of seriousness, when NBC's Luke Russert asked Rep. Nancy Pelosi if her decision to seek the House minority leadership again prevents a younger leadership from taking her place.
Pelosi was flanked by the Democratic female members of House and as soon as the question flew out of Russert's mouth, groans filled the room. "Age discrimination," one person was heard screaming.
"Oh, you've always asked that question except to Mitch McConnell," Pelosi said with a laugh.
Russert, 27, pressed his case, saying that she, and Reps. Steny Hoyer and James Clyburn, who round out the House leadership, were all older than 70.
"Let's for a moment honor it as a legitimate question, although it's quite offensive, but you don't realize that I guess," she said. "The fact is that everything that I have done in my decade of leadership is to elect younger and newer people to the Congress."
From C-Span, here's video of the moment:
What do you think? Is the question appropriate or offensive?

David's Old Age. 1* When King David was old and advanced in years, though they covered him with blankets he could not get warm. 2His servants therefore said to him, "Let a young virgin be sought to attend my lord the king,* and to nurse him. If she sleeps with you, my lord the king will be warm." 3So they sought for a beautiful girl throughout the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunamite. So they brought her to the king. 4The girl was very beautiful indeed, and she nursed the king and took care of him. But the king did not have relations with her.
Adonijah's Ambition. 5Adonijah, son of Haggith, boasted, "I shall be king!" and he provided himself with chariots, horses, and a retinue of fifty to go before him.a 6Yet his father would never antagonize him by asking, "Why are you doing this?" Adonijah was also very handsome, and next in age to Absalom by the same mother. 7He consulted with Joab, son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest, and they became Adonijah's supporters. 8However, Zadok the priest, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei and Rei, and David's warriors did not support Adonijah.
9Adonijah slaughtered sheep, oxen, and fatlings at the stone Zoheleth near En-rogel* and invited all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the royal officials of Judah; 10but he did not invite Nathan the prophet, or Benaiah, or the warriors, or Solomon his brother.
Solomon Proclaimed King. 11Then Nathan said to Bathsheba, Solomon's mother: "Have you not heard that Adonijah, son of Haggith, has become king, and our lord David does not know? 12Come now, let me advise you so that you may save your life and the life of your son Solomon. 13Go, visit King David, and say to him, 'Did you not, my lord king, swear to your handmaid: Your son Solomon shall be king after me; it is he who shall sit upon my throne? Why, then, has Adonijah become king?' 14And while you are still there speaking to the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words."
15So Bathsheba visited the king in his room. The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunamite was caring for the king.* 16Bathsheba bowed in homage to the king. The king said to her, "What do you wish?"* 17She answered him: "My lord, you swore to your servant by the LORD, your God, 'Solomon your son will be king after me; it is he who shall sit upon my throne.' 18But now Adonijah has become king, and you, my lord king, do not know it.* 19He has sacrificed bulls, fatlings, and sheep in great numbers; he has invited all the king's sons, Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the commander of the army, but not your servant Solomon. 20* Now, my lord king, all Israel is looking to you to declare to them who is to sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him. 21If this is not done, when my lord the king rests with his ancestors, I and my son Solomon will be considered criminals."
22While she was still speaking to the king, Nathan the prophet came in. 23They told the king, "Nathan the prophet is here." He entered the king's presence and did him homage, bowing to the floor. 24Then Nathan said: "My lord king, did you say, 'Adonijah shall be king after me and shall sit upon my throne'? 25For today he went down and sacrificed bulls, fatlings, and sheep in great numbers; he invited all the king's sons, the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest, and even now they are eating and drinking in his company and saying, 'Long live King Adonijah!' 26But me, your servant, he did not invite; nor Zadok the priest, nor Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, nor your servant Solomon. 27If this was done by order of my lord the king, you did not tell me, your servant, who is to sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him."
28King David answered, "Call Bathsheba here." When she entered the king's presence and stood before him, 29the king swore, "As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress, 30this very day I will fulfill the oath I swore to you by the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Your son Solomon shall be king after me and shall sit upon my throne in my place.'" 31Bowing to the floor in homage to the king, Bathsheba said, "May my lord, King David, live forever!"
32Then King David said, "Call Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, son of Jehoiada." When they had entered the king's presence, 33he said to them: "Take with you the royal officials. Mount my son Solomon upon my own mule and escort him down to Gihon. 34There Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet shall anoint him king over Israel, and you shall blow the ram's horn and cry, 'Long live King Solomon!' 35When you come back up with him, he is to go in and sit upon my throne. It is he that shall be king in my place: him I designate ruler of Israel and of Judah." 36Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, answered the king: "So be it! May the LORD, the God of my lord the king, so decree! 37As the LORD has been with my lord the king, so may he be with Solomon, and make his throne even greater than that of my lord, King David!"
38So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites* went down, and mounting Solomon on King David's mule, escorted him to Gihon. 39Then Zadok the priest took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. They blew the ram's horn and all the people shouted, "Long live King Solomon!" 40Then all the people went up after him, playing flutes and rejoicing so much the earth split with their shouting.
Adonijah Submits to Solomon. 41Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it, just as they ended their banquet. When Joab heard the sound of the ram's horn, he asked, "Why this uproar in the city?" 42As he was speaking, Jonathan, son of Abiathar the priest, arrived. Adonijah said, "Come, you are a man of worth and must bring good news." 43Jonathan answered Adonijah, "Hardly!* Our lord, King David, has made Solomon king. 44The king sent with him Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and Pelethites, and they mounted him upon the king's own mule. 45Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed him king at Gihon, and they went up from there rejoicing, so that the city is in an uproar. That is the noise you hear. 46Moreover, Solomon has taken his seat on the royal throne, 47and moreover the king's servants have come to pay their respects to our lord, King David, saying, 'May your God make Solomon's name more famous than your name, his throne greater than your throne!' And the king in his bed did homage. 48This is what the king said: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has this day provided one to sit upon my throne, so that I see it with my own eyes.'" 49All the guests of Adonijah got up trembling, and went each their way, 50but Adonijah, in fear of Solomon, got up and went to grasp the horns of the altar.*
51It was reported to Solomon: "Adonijah, in fear of King Solomon, is clinging to the horns of the altar and saying, 'Let King Solomon first swear that he will not kill me, his servant, with the sword.'" 52Solomon answered, "If he proves worthy, not a hair of his shall fall to the ground. But if evil is found in him, he shall die." 53King Solomon sent to have him brought down from the altar, and he came and paid homage to King Solomon. Solomon then said to him, "Go to your house."
* [1:1–11:43] The story of the reign of Solomon comprises twelve major units, organized concentrically. That is, the first unit (1:1–2:12a) balances the last (11:26–43), the second (2:12b–46) balances the second last (11:14–25), and so forth. (See the structural notes at the beginning of each major unit.) The center of the whole story is a diptych that narrates the construction of the Temple (6:1–7:51) and its dedication (8:1–9:10).
* [1:1–2:12a] The first major unit of the Solomon story concludes the so-called Succession Narrative (2 Sm 9–20; 1 Kgs 1–2). This unit tells how Solomon, a younger son, came to succeed David on the throne of Israel through the intervention of the prophet Nathan. Compare the last unit of the Solomon story, 11:26–43, where the prophet Ahijah begins the process whereby Jeroboam becomes king of the northern tribes after Solomon's death. The story of Solomon's accession is itself concentrically arranged: David's decline, Adonijah's rise, Solomon's supporters, David's decision, Solomon's inauguration, Adonijah's fall, David's death. Chronicles has no developed parallel to this story (see 1 Chr 23:1).
* [1:2] The fulsome use of royal titles and the elaborate etiquette in the Succession Narrative suggest the raw ambition of the contending parties and the oppressive atmosphere of the court.
* [1:9] En-rogel: the modern Job's Well just southeast of Jerusalem. It marked the ancient boundary between the tribes of Benjamin and Judah (Jos 15:7; 18:16).
* [1:15] Entering the king's chambers, Bathsheba confronts two realities: he is very old; and she herself, the woman for whom David once committed adultery and murder, has been replaced at the king's side and in his bed.
* [1:16] Throughout 1 Kgs 1 the key question is "Who shall be king (malak)?" David's feeble, two-syllable question to Bathsheba is an ironic echo of that key word: "What do you wish?" renders the Heb. mahlak?
* [1:18] Bathsheba uses a clever wordplay to conceal the rivalry between Solomon and Adonijah and imply that the real rivalry is between David and Adonijah. She repeatedly addresses David as "my lord king" ('adoni hammelek), but claims that "Adonijah has become king" ('adoniya malak). Know: the term means both "be aware of" and "recognize, acknowledge, ratify."
* [1:20] There was no precedent for determining succession to the throne of Israel. Adonijah and his supporters assumed that primogeniture would assure the succession as it did in the monarchies of the surrounding nations. But Bathsheba persuades David that he is free to name anyone he chooses.
* [1:38] Cherethites and Pelethites: mercenaries in David's bodyguard. They became part of his retinue after he defeated the Philistines and established himself in Jerusalem; cf. 2 Sm 8:18; 15:18; 20:23.
* [1:43] Hardly: Jonathan's first word, 'abal, whose meaning (such as "indeed," "on the contrary") must be discerned from the context, may be ironic. This irony is deepened by an untranslatable wordplay in Hebrew: a very similar word means "to mourn," which is an appropriate comment about the death of Adonijah's hopes for the throne.
* [1:50] Horns of the altar: the protuberances on each of the four corners of the altar (Ex 27:2; 29:12). By grasping the horns of the altar Adonijah is claiming asylum (Ex 21:13–14; 1 Kgs 2:28).

Frequently asked questions
What is the material of your gowns? Washing Instructions?
Our gowns are all made of 100% polyester. Purely made polyester, like our products, is extremely strong, extremely durable and has excellent properties such as being hydrophobic in nature that leads to quick-drying and stain resistance.
We recommend dry cleaning for all of our products in order to keep the integrity of the garment. However, our products can be washed in a machine using the gentle cycle or handwashed. For drying, please hang dry. The material can be ironed on a low setting.
What is the difference between matte and shiny?
The main difference is the finish of the fabric. Our shiny gowns are a knitted fabric that has more of a shiny look to it giving the color of the gowns more brightness. Our matte gowns are a woven fabric which has more of a flat dull finish.
How do I know what gown's color to choose?
Please contact your educational institution, as we currently do not have access to school colors.
What is the difference between the Deluxe and the classic/matte gown?
Our Deluxe gowns have fluting around the shoulders and yoke. They have more fabric used so they tend to be heavier. This is true for all of our deluxe gowns.
The deluxe master has a different shape for the batwings.
The deluxe doctor has bell sleeves and a braided button to attach the hood whereas the classic does not.
We cannot do an embroidered chest emblem on the classic doctor.
Overall, the deluxe is considered a higher quality gown for your regalia.
What if my school orders with a different company?
We welcome anyone to order with us! Although, we cannot give assurance or be held responsible for our gowns' colours matching another company's gowns. We provide unique shades of gowns are not the same with another vendor's products.
The color does not match my university regalia?
We do not color match. We have a very specific set of fabrics. We cannot guarantee that our fabric colors will match with another supplier's fabrics.
I don't see the color I need. Do you provide any that aren't listed?
You can email us the color that you need, we will get back to you with a closed match.
We can color match some products if a bulk order is placed.
How to select my Graduation gown size?
You need to provide us with each customer's height with shoes on for the gown and weight. You do not need to provide cap size as our standard caps are one size fits all with elastic. Please see the our size chart.
Do you offer plus sizes?
We do have regular and full-fit sizes. We have plus sizes in 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, and 63. Please refer to the measuring instructions link for more information on our sizing.

What does piping mean for the gown/hood?
Piping is an embroidered thread around the velvet of a gown or hood.
Why would I need a 4th Chevron on my doctorate gown?
The 4th Chevron is for the Chancellor or President of a University. If you are neither, do not select "Add 4th Chevron" to your doctorate gown.
How do I select my hood's colors?
There is no standardized and unified published listing available of all current school colors.
While GraduationAttire does maintain a color chart for degree velvet colors there is no true substitute for contacting your school directly and asking them what colors they are currently using for your graduation apparel. Schools can and sometimes do change their colors on a yearly basis (and even the color of the gown itself).
The lining and chevron (satin fabric) represent your school colors. The shell is the material of hood which is always black (polyester fabric, matte finish). The velvet color represents your specific degree or field of study.
Please note for Associate Degree, you only need to select the lining and chevron colors (no velvet color required).
You always need to choose the colors based on your highest level of education or current school you are attending.
How do I wear my hood?
Place it over your head draping off your shoulders and across the back of your gown. The velvet edge should be on the outside visible from the back. Make sure the lining (field and chevron school colors) are turned out so that people can see from the back your university colors. Usually this is done by turning the velvet trim to the outside at the back just below your shoulders. If you ordered a professional / faculty hood there will be a cord in the back (with two buttons one on each side of the hood) to keep your hood in place and a cord in the front to keep the hood away from your neck. Fasten the front cord to a shirt or dress button. Finally make sure the fabric shell of the hood is smoothed down and lays flat against the back of your robe.
Do you offer different sizes for caps/tams/ beefeaters? Are they adjustable? What are they made of?
Our caps are made of 100% polyester.
We provide caps in two sizes: Adult and Child.
They measure 9"x9".
The caps are not adjustable.
What is the difference between 4, 6 or 8 sided tam?
The level of education attained by the wearer is indicated by the varying number of sides on a tam. Master's graduates commonly wear four or six-sided tams, with the specific choice often determined by the school. It's advisable to verify the appropriate tam style before making a purchase. Tams with six sides are suitable for programs like Ed.S (education specialist) that fall between Master's and Ph.D. Eight-sided tams are typically reserved for Doctoral programs.
What is beefeater?
A beefeater, also referred to as a Tudor Bonnet, is a premium hat usually reserved for esteemed officials overseeing graduation ceremonies (deans, presidents, etc...). The standard mortarboard, a square of cardboard encased in polyester, is worn atop the head and traditionally used for primary and secondary school graduations. In contrast, tams are more commonly chosen for advanced graduations like Ed.S and doctoral ceremonies, and occasionally for master's degrees.
Can I customize my diploma cover?
Yes, you can with a minimum order of 8 pcs. Please email us with the details of your diploma covers and we can provide you a quote and estimated delivery date.
What does debossed mean for diploma covers?
Debossing typically refers to the process of creating a raised or indented design on the surface of the cover. This is achieved by using a die (a metal or other hard material) to press the design into the material of the cover, creating a textured and visually appealing result.
In the case of diploma covers, debossing is often used to add a tactile and elegant element to the cover. It can be used to feature the school's emblem, logo, or other decorative elements. The debossed design is usually slightly indented into the material, providing a subtle and sophisticated look and feel to the diploma cover.
How do I know which diploma cover to buy?
We recommend checking with your school which color and size to get or you can measure your diploma as well.

For example, honor cords might indicate graduation with honors, membership in an honor society, participation in specific programs, or other notable accomplishments. The specific color combinations can vary widely between institutions and organizations. We recommend checking with your school with colors you need to select for your honor cords.
Graduates who have earned the right to wear honor cords often do so with pride as a visible symbol of their academic achievements. Honor cords add a personalized and meaningful element to the graduation regalia, allowing students to showcase their accomplishments and distinctions during the ceremony.
What is a double honor cord?
A double cord consists of two individual cords joined together at the center, with the knot positioned at the back of the graduate's neck.
Do you offer customization options for honor cords?
Yes we do with a minimum of 10 pcs.
Please email us the specifications and we will get back to you with a quote and estimated delivery date.
Can you help me with a mockup of the custom stole/gown/diploma cover I want to order?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that is concerned with diagnosing, treating and preventing malocclusions (bad bites) and other irregularities in the jaw region and face. Orthodontists are specially trained to correct these problems and to restore health, functionality and a beautiful aesthetic appearance to the smile. Though orthodontics was originally aimed at treating children and teenagers, almost one third of orthodontic patients are now adults. A person of any age can be successfully treated by an orthodontist.
A malocclusion (improper bite) can affect anyone at any age, and can significantly impact the individual's clarity of speech, chewing ability and facial symmetry. In addition, a severe malocclusion can also contribute to several serious dental and physical conditions such as digestive difficulties, TMJ, periodontal disease and severe tooth decay. It is important to seek orthodontic treatment early to avoid expensive restorative procedures in the future.
What problems can orthodontics treat?
Orthodontics can treat a wide range of dental problems and in most cases, completely realign the teeth. Orthodontists may work alone, or in combination with a maxillofacial surgeon.
The typical irregularities requiring orthodontic treatment are as follows:
How can orthodontics help?
Orthodontic dentistry offers techniques which will realign the teeth and revitalize the smile. There are several treatments the orthodontist may use, depending on the results of panoramic x-rays, study models (bite impressions) and a thorough visual examination.
Fixed dental braces can be used to expediently correct even the most severe case of misalignment. These braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets which are affixed to each tooth and an archwire which is used to gradually move the teeth through the duration of the treatment.
Removable appliances include headgear (which consists of a metal wire device attached to customized braces), retainers, Invisalign® aligners (which are almost invisible to the naked eye), palate expanders and tooth movers. Faceguards are generally used to correct developmental delays in both the upper and lower jaw, and palate expanders are used to combat overcrowding.
Whatever the dental irregularity or the age of the individual, orthodontic appliances can properly realign the teeth and create a beautiful smile.
If you have any questions or concerns about orthodontic treatments or how they can benefit you, please contact our office.

It's Almost Like He's Part of the Family
Thursday, November 6, 2008
Natalie B., knowing they just spelled Stetson's name wrong takes all the fun out of it for me. Can we stick with my version? No one has to know. ;)

- Epiphany said...
Is it just me or is that cake leaning dangerously to the left?
- November 6, 2008 at 9:32 AM
- Winston said...
Jen, the two versions don't have to be mutually exclusive. Maybe Stetson learned some surprising news about his parentage when he received the cake.
- November 6, 2008 at 9:33 AM
As a stepmom I think this is one of my new favorites just because of your commentary. When I got married everyone kept telling me, "Love the kids like they're your own" and lots of other well intentioned advice that is of course, easier to give than it is to follow. Especially when you're hearing the refrain of "You're not my mother!" for the 50th time. :-D
Too bad they just spelled Stetson's name wrong. Lots of times your commentary far outshines the wreck itself and I think this is one of those times. - November 6, 2008 at 9:35 AM
Awww. Drat! I liked it better thinking they called him "step son". Wow, that's cold.
- November 6, 2008 at 9:35 AM
- Trevor said...
You completely let slide the fact that the 2008 looks kind of oddly shoved in there, like it was an after thought or something. Are you slipping? :)
- November 6, 2008 at 9:36 AM
- Boozy Tooth said...
Whew! What an appreciated relief and recovery day after yesterday's post. Having a blended family of my own, the step insignia on anything is simply unnecessary and a little obvious in its quarantining - but ESPECIALLY on a cake!
I just have to add that I love and look forward to Cake Wreck Jen's consistenly laugh-out-loud-funny photos and commentary, but I also get a huge kick out of all the reader comments! Gosh, there sure are a lot of witty cyber folk out there! Wreck on wit you bad selves, y'all.

Did they trade him in the next year for the 2007 version???
- November 6, 2008 at 9:37 AM
- Unknown said...
I was concerned about you Jen. I came on the site this morning and there was no posting. Thank God when I checked back a half hour later your Thursday posting was up and running. I was about to send out an APB. What would we all do with out you to start our mornings with a chuckle :-D
- November 6, 2008 at 9:37 AM
- The Courteous Chihuahua said...
That's actually pretty nice as this wicked stepmom usually serves cornbread with toothpaste frosting for my stepson's birthday. I'll have to kick it up a notch this year with an inscription.
- November 6, 2008 at 9:39 AM
I wonder who they upgraded to in 2007 and in 2008.
- November 6, 2008 at 9:41 AM
- Boozy Tooth said...
My bad. You totally punked me. Next time, I'll read all the way down before commenting.
PS: My random verification code is "unhis" - is it just me or is that funny?) - November 6, 2008 at 9:44 AM
- The Chubby One said...
I don't know, I think there could be a bigger story behind the mispell...
Turns out he actually is the stepson and this is how Stetson found out. A tragic graduation day for any teen. - November 6, 2008 at 9:45 AM
- Megan said...
Natalie's caveat made this a lot more understandable, but I did stare at that cake for a long time trying to figure out what in the world they were trying to do there.
Hilarious. - November 6, 2008 at 9:46 AM
- Sara Elizabeth said...
That's something my step-mom would do... and it wouldn't be a mistake.
She once got me one of those HUGE, neon pink barbie dress cakes... for my 17th birthday. - November 6, 2008 at 9:46 AM
- Erin said...
You made my morning.
:) - November 6, 2008 at 9:50 AM
- Team Serrins Springfield said...
Also, is this an old picture or is this cake two years late?
- November 6, 2008 at 9:54 AM
- writtenwyrdd said...
Glad for the explanation, but the misspelling definitely qualifies for the "horribly, hilariously wrong" definition.
word verification: WAGRA. Now, is that a new Japanese monster demolishing Tokyo, or something to make your puppy, erm, happy(er)? - November 6, 2008 at 9:55 AM
- Unknown said...
Gee, nothing like feeling like you're truly part of the family!
Reminds me of the time I heard one woman refer to her stepkids as "products of a divorce". Geez. How freaking sweet. - November 6, 2008 at 9:57 AM
I can kinda-sorta see how a decorator would look at "Stetson" and think it's supposed to be "Stepson"... but can't they at least call and verify first?
I like your version better anyway, Jen. ;)
Keep on wreckin', and I hope to someday have a pic to send in. (Keep forgetting my camera at the grocery store...) - November 6, 2008 at 9:59 AM
- M K Glass said...
Obviously, she has many stepsons. She is congratulating the 2006 version.
Ok, in reality, this must be for graduating in 2006. So... my question is, are we looking at a picture 2 years old? Or is stepmom just celebrating a little late?
"Oh, that's right, you graduated 2 years ago, didn't you? I'm sorry I missed the ceremony. I was doing my nails. Well... here's a cake to show how much I care."
Yeah, yeah, I know, it's supposed to be "Stetson." But still... a little late, isn't it??? - November 6, 2008 at 10:04 AM
Again, another laugh out loud wreck! Although, in my opinion anyone who names a kid after a type of cowboy hat is just asking for trouble - lol
- November 6, 2008 at 10:14 AM
I'm just as disturbed by the kid being named after an accessory, as by the thought that his name was spelled incorrectly. Is their daughter named "Cloche"?
- November 6, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Who talks like that- I mean really?
- November 6, 2008 at 10:45 AM
- Laura ~Peach~ said...
LMAO hysterical... poor STETSON!
- November 6, 2008 at 10:53 AM
- Kameron said...
People at work are going to start to think I'm crazy. Every morning around 9 or 10 I am snickering in my cube. I giggled at the initial thought, but then I burst out laughing when I read that is was supposed to say!
- November 6, 2008 at 10:59 AM
- shine said...
Maybe it was to congratulate the maker of Stetson Cologne...
Or it was supposed to say, "Surprise! You're adopted!"
And since we're talking about it, my word verification: "obare"
I'm not sure what to think of that. Seems to go better with yesterday's wreck!

Just got my "Mothering" magazine today. Wouldn't you know they had a cake of breasts for breastfeeding awareness. I need to get a picture, but it was basically a set of white breasts with fleshy nipples and a wierd little baby sitting in the middle. Crazy but perfect for this site!
- November 6, 2008 at 11:07 AM
- Dea said...
And honestly, who says, "Congratulations Son!" on a cake, either?? I hate those kinds of cards - "To my husband" or "For my mother" as if the person didn't know who the heck they were....
LMAO!!! Gotta wonder what the decorator was muttering about the cold-hearted people who ordered the cake s/he was decorating....teehee! - November 6, 2008 at 11:36 AM
I'm totally surprised you didn't post the Obama cupcake portrait this morning that's been all over the news! (But I guess it's not really a wreck, 'cause it doesn't look that bad. I mean, if you have no problem with a president-elect being immortalized in frosting. Or it being a cupcake cake. Because you love cupcake cakes, right?!)
- November 6, 2008 at 11:49 AM
I'm just curious about the flowers. Wouldn't Stetson be a male? (And stepson surely is). Big blue flowers?
- November 6, 2008 at 11:51 AM
- BGz said...
I'm with you... the cake has a bit of a leftward lean.
- November 6, 2008 at 12:00 PM
This one gave me a fit of the giggles. Your commentary is pure genius!
- November 6, 2008 at 12:09 PM
I love that it looks like he's this year's Stepson. As in, way to go 2006 Stepson, you were almost as good as 2005 Stepson! Same if it were spelled right - what, is he Stetson of the year?
- November 6, 2008 at 12:24 PM
- Becky said...
Was he the stepson for only one year?
- November 6, 2008 at 12:29 PM
- Hope said...
I like the idea of thinking it's 'stepson' and not a misspelling too. It's like - I got you this cake because I was supposed to, but I really don't like you so congrats, I hope you feel like crap.
- November 6, 2008 at 12:39 PM
- Sabrina said...
Just found your site recently and LOVE it! Always good for a laugh!

ok, winston and leslie's comments were awesome. And, you must know that I subscribe to this blog primarily for the commentary...leslie had it right, this one was stellar. - November 6, 2008 at 12:50 PM
- Bri said...
So when the decorater realised [assuming they realised] that they'd just written "Way to Go Stepson" on someone's cake, did anyone think "Hmmmm...maybe that ain't right..."?
Am I being too hopeful? - November 6, 2008 at 1:05 PM
- Mella said...
I would have been happy to get a cake from my stepfather . I was basicly non existant for him
- November 6, 2008 at 1:09 PM
- dizzy mom said...
Wow! How many times do you think she was married. You know it's bad when you have to start numbering your stepkids. Congrats "Stepson #2006"
- November 6, 2008 at 1:30 PM
As a Brit, it's can often be a sort of amusement to hear the names that people name their children in the US. So when I saw this cake and read that it was a spelling error on the name rather than a cold step-parent rubbing their step-kid's nose into their own status, my first thought was Sarah Palin. I mean, come on! The names of her kids! It's almost like they popped out and were named after the first thing that she clapped eyes on at that very moment.
(and for added 'fnar fnar' value, as well as being a city in the UK, Bristol (one of Palin's daughters name) is also used as slang for . . . um . . . a nice pair of breasts. As in "cor, get a look at those bristols!". I must stress this isn't in common parlance . . . . - November 6, 2008 at 2:07 PM
So no mention that the 2006 was just shoved in there? Or that it's 2008? Unless of course this is a two year old submission.
- November 6, 2008 at 2:13 PM
- Rebecca said...
Sombody said the 2008 was put in as an afterthought....it's 2006 not 2008!
This wreck has been around for awhile. - November 6, 2008 at 2:26 PM
- SGM said...
I vote for the stepson interpretation too!
What a delicious wreck. - November 6, 2008 at 3:50 PM
- Susanna said...
I have to admit, I first thought that this cake was just one of those stock cakes, you know, the ones that already have a generic phrase like happy birthday, and the grocery store bakeries have now paired up with the greeting card industry to make state-the-obvious cakes for people's relatives. I like to think the decorator saw the order and thought, "perfect! all I have to do is cram 2006 onto that stepson stock cake! and my manager thought I was wasting icing- this'll show him!"
- November 6, 2008 at 5:18 PM
At least there were no quotations. Way to go step 'son' (when Stetson finds out he's not only step, he's a she.)
- November 6, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Whenever I hear English people talk about funny US names, all I can think of is Tiggy Legg-Bourke!
- November 6, 2008 at 5:42 PM
- Paula B said...
Ha ha, I must be weird, I actually hate it when my stepfather calls me his "daughter". But that probably has to do with the fact that he married my mom when I was a senior in HS. I'd done (most) of my growing up by then. (And he's still a cool guy, just that one thing drives me up the wall.)
"mesibu" - the shortlived knock of of "Desilu Productions" - November 6, 2008 at 6:05 PM
- Candy said...
The cakes are hilarious, but I agree, the commentary is worthy of honor, even without the pictures. Poor Stetson the Stepson....or whatever.
- November 6, 2008 at 6:33 PM
- Sarah - Kala said...
I still nearly died laughing at the explanation as well. Very brilliantly funny!
- November 6, 2008 at 7:41 PM
- A Paperback Writer said...
Whether it's "Stetson" or "Stepson," the decorator still left out the comma that should separate the direct address from the rest of the phrase.
- November 6, 2008 at 9:59 PM
The purple writing & flowers surprise me (I think Stetson is a male name . . . )
- November 6, 2008 at 10:03 PM
I'm kind of wondering if the cake decorator looked at "Stetson" on the order and said, "That can't be right" and changed it on his/her own...
- November 6, 2008 at 11:47 PM
- ProfessorDog said...
I can't decide which would be worse--having your stepmother give you a cake with "Stepson" on it, or having your real parents name you Stetson.
On second thought, yeah, I can decide, and if I were Stetson, I'd definitely be wishing it was the other thing. - November 7, 2008 at 1:28 AM
- Mary Lasse said...
This cake really resonates with me, especially if we're keeping the "fake" story.
When I was growing up, I had an evil stepmother. For one of my birthdays, she got me three bags of M&Ms (the regular, individual size ones) and a USED CROSS STITCH KIT that she had purchased at a garage sale.
I was like, "Um...thanks?"
Wow. Really needed to get that off my chest. - November 7, 2008 at 2:02 AM
I was surprised there were only a couple comments on the fact that the writing and FLOWERS are in a purple-blue perfect for Stetson/Stepson's gratuation/son of the year cake!
- November 7, 2008 at 7:02 AM
"Stetson" is a family name around here...."Stetson University" is named for the man who invented the Stetson hat and then he endowed the university. So the name came before the hat, folks. Still, this is a really scarey cake, stepson or stetson.
My word verification is proarksa....how bizarre.
Love your blog and love the comments!

- Yarnhog said...
Thank you for the clarification at the bottom. As a mother and a stepmother, I was having a small coronary before I saw that!
- November 7, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Um, how do we know it's a graduation cake? What if he is now potty trained? Or in choir? Or got hired at the floral shop? (C'mon! PURPLE flowers?!)
And if that's the case, maybe the conversation went something like this:
Mom: "My son just got hired at the floral shop! I want a cake with purple flowers that says "Way to go Stetson!"
Cake decorator: "Ok, will do!" (She MUST have said stepson! She HAS to be confirming his gender with this one...)
And maybe he is like Jack McFarland on Will & Grace who starts new careers every few months, so the "2006" is to remind him later how often he did it himself?
Hee hee...my verification is vismshee. - November 8, 2008 at 1:10 AM
Ok, that's it. I am convinced that all bakery workers are mindless or non-english speakers. Based on this whole wreckin' site...cake decorators cannot read, comprehend nor confirm corrections!!! LOL...
- November 18, 2008 at 6:04 PM
Oh. Mah. Goodness...I was just catching up here on CakeWrecks (yeah, it HAS been almost 2 months since I've read....BAD cakewrecks fan!) Anyways, I can't believe my brother's cake made it into the hallowed galleries of cake-wreckiness!! Just in case y'all were wondering, no, Stetson's NOT a stepson. And, no, this wasn't a dial-a-wreck, either. My mom oredred the cake in person at the bakery, and she did actually spell out my brother's name, very carefully and slowly, since it's an unusual name. Still, the decorator obviously had no clue. "Stetson? What's that? I ain't never heard of it, I think they must've meant STEPSON. Yeah, that's it...what a lovely message for any child!" The only thing that could've made it better would have been quotes around the word "Stepson". Haha! :P Thank you, Jen!

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? ;)

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.
