Fall Fumbles
Monday, November 24, 2008
It's a football! It's a turkey! It's a...a...stitched up frankencake with pom-poms! And hey, who needs decorating skills when you can just dump the dollar store's clearance bin in with the cake, right, Carol G.?
Apparently Dudley Do Right wishes us all a happy Thanksgiving. Jacquelyn G., do you suppose the decorator actually used shrimp for those ears, or just made it look that way?
"Pumpkins", Lynz B.? You sure those aren't supposed to be melons? (Bah dum bump!)
Kathryn M found this guy. He's supposed to be a scarecrow, so, you know, props to the decorator for really nailing the "scare" part. I know I'm frightened. I mean, it looks like a wookie in a clown suit. A wookie who shaved his face and then used too much self-tanner, I mean.
Of course, scarecrows are pretty complicated to make. So how about a nice candy-corn shaped cookie? Nothing easier than that, right?
Oh come on! Are you kidding me?!?
Never mind, Mary D., just...just never mind.

Yikes! I think the turkey and the scarecrow were made by Jack the Ripper!

Dudley Do Right? Totally a CCC!!!!!! What a big , effing wreck!!!!

Thank you! Those were wrecktastic! Keep 'em coming!
- November 24, 2008 at 9:29 AM
Ahh nothing starts off my morning right like huge tracts of...pumpkin. And the scarecrow DOES look like a wayward wookie. I really have to say something about that candy corn cookie though - I was scrolling through the post to get to Sunday sweets and my first thought was, "Hey an autumnal gay pride cookie...cool". Candy corn would NOT have been my first thought.

That first one looks like a c-section gone awry.

I don't know what's wrong with me. I actually thought the turkey/football cake was kind of cute. I blame my near-total lack of sleep for that.
That last one, though. The candy corn one. ROFL! I'm crushed by the sheer awfulness of that one. It's even upside down - the base of the candy corn is the darkest orange part, not the white. That's for the tip. They didn't even get THAT right. *Facepalm* - November 24, 2008 at 9:38 AM

I think the cookies wins this one hands down.

Haha!!! The wookie in a clown suit thing was so funny I had to call my husband! On point as usual Jen, keep up the hilarious work!
- November 24, 2008 at 9:39 AM
What's going on?!!? I mean, I do realize that it's Monday morning and all - but how do you, oh cakewreck goddess, FAIL to mention that not one, but TWO of these atrocities are dreaded CCCs?!??!?! I've grown to expect MUCH more from you, and always look forward to some witty comment pertaining to the wreckiness that are cupcake cakes.
*sigh* - into the rum and eggnog already? It's not even December! - November 24, 2008 at 9:41 AM
That football/turkey looks like an autopsy was performed! And the candy corn cookie made me spit my coffee out! "A" for effort on that one! (eyes rolling)
- November 24, 2008 at 9:42 AM
- Trevor said...
I'm impressed that you didn't even mention two of those were CCC's, which obviously makes them even MORE wreck-tastic!
I thought the scarecrow was maybe the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz. Very ugly, as is Dudly! - November 24, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Gotta love the candy corn cake. That's pure, unadulterated laziness right there.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Wow - does anyone else think that the 2nd one looks like the Lucky Charms leprachaun, but with a brown hat? The third one looks totally like boobs on top of a big hairy green mutant spider. Mr Scarecrow looks kinda like the cowardly lion & scarecrow mated. Once again, thanks for the much needed Monday laugh.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Uh, I don't mean to make your day even more wreck-y. But I'm pretty sure that scarecrow is also a CCC. Those tricksy decorators are getting sneaky on you!

- Thistledew Farm said...
So funny - can't wait to see how creative it gets as we count down to T-day!!!!

Candy Corn Cookie or Alien Cult Sign? You decide....

omg. my first thought on cw3 (that's "cake wreck #3") was "boobs." and i couldn't figure why the scarecrow had such puffy legs...til I realized he's a CCC. scary and funny today! the candy corn cookie had me guffawing out loud. thanks, jen!

- Lisa Chin said...
Those pumpkins are kinda scary. They look like eyeballs popping out. I am always amazed at what your wreakporters are able to find. My local grocery store isn't that interesting. . .I guess thats a good thing.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:47 AM
- Luna said...
So the top 'turkey' cake is obviously a football cake that they doctored up with some add ons- still wrecktastic, but explains the stitches.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:49 AM
The "Dudley Do Right" cake looks like Lucky the Leprechaun from the Lucky Charms cereal box.
- November 24, 2008 at 9:49 AM
- Laylabean said...
I love that the candy corn is even upside down. Isn't the pointy side supposed to be white?
- November 24, 2008 at 9:54 AM
- Alison said...
Those "melons" look like alien pods waiting to burst open after we're stuffed to the gills on Thanksgiving, emerging to suffocate us all on our couches.

I think the "least effort award" goes to the candy corn.
Also, it looks like that first cake just had a c-section. - November 24, 2008 at 9:56 AM
- Vanessa said...
It's either a candy corn cookie or a satanic death symbol. Classic!
- November 24, 2008 at 9:57 AM

the first one looks like a turkey that had a C-section..must have been some big cupcakes it delivered for that big of a scar

With that candy corn thing, They didn't even try did they?
I like the boob cake though. I want to get one of those for my husband. He'd love it. - November 24, 2008 at 10:05 AM
- Soggy Carrot said...
Not only is the candy corn upside-down (in addition to its all-around patheticness), but the color scheme is wrong too. Yellow is supposed to be the base color, orange in the middle and white for the tip.
- November 24, 2008 at 10:06 AM
- Joanie said...
The scarecrow cake looks like the Cowardly Lion swiped the Scarecrow's clothes.
The candycorn cake? FAIL! - November 24, 2008 at 10:12 AM
- Angie McCullagh said...
ZOMG, your commentary is so darn hysterical.
Thanks for the morning laugh.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com) - November 24, 2008 at 10:17 AM
The pilgrim looks like he's been stung by bees - swollen with boils on his face. What were they thinking?
- November 24, 2008 at 10:19 AM
- Unknown said...
The third cake is obviously the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
But the Candy Corn one, yeah never would have figured that out . . . - November 24, 2008 at 10:22 AM
- Jackie said...
Duddley Do Right has *what exactly* to do with Thanksgiving?? Even in Canada, we wouldn't use him!
- November 24, 2008 at 10:28 AM
The football turkey appears to be shackled with golden handcuffs. It's a very SPECIAL holiday!
And my first thought on the pilgrim was Leprechaun too. - November 24, 2008 at 10:37 AM
- sues2u2 said...
I really appreciate the monday am laugh! It sure makes mondays less painful!
- November 24, 2008 at 10:37 AM
- Sara Lou said...
Hey - just because the turkey had an emergency C-Section... no reason to criticize!! LOL! Maybe she laid the golden egg?
- November 24, 2008 at 10:38 AM
The candy corn makes me so happy.
- November 24, 2008 at 10:39 AM

Those are all funny! I like the turkball..er..footturkey..uh..
And the candy corn cookie looks like the Frat house's Greek Lettering. Delta, I believe?
~Amy B - November 24, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Dorothy knew she wasn't in Kansas any more, but she thought things were going ok, all things considered. She didn't really start to worry until she found straw scattered everywhere and the Cowardly Lion wearing the Scarecrow's tattered clothing...

At first glance I thought our Dudley Do Right pilgrim friend was Quagmire from Family Guy. Giggity!
- November 24, 2008 at 10:42 AM
It kinda looks like the decorator of the candy corn cookie is trying to send some message to her AA friends... ;)-

They are all awful. But the candy corn cookie is totally wrong. How hard would if have been to get a piece of candy corn to use as a guide??
- November 24, 2008 at 10:50 AM
Are you sure that's a candy corn? It looks like a satanic symbol to me. Then again, everything looks like a satanic symbol to me.
- November 24, 2008 at 10:53 AM
- CaliGirl9 said...
#1 equals turkey autopsy by an obvious football fan.
One might argue that scarecrow might actually be a decent template for a Raggedy Annie or Andy CCC. Not so sure about the scarecrow with that color "outfit," but it might be cute in the R A&A reds and such ... - November 24, 2008 at 10:56 AM

I chuckled through the first four, came up with a few good quips, but when I hit the "candy corn cookie" all was lost. Come on, guys, put in some effort!!! At least cut the thing into a triangle!!!

The candy corn is in honor of Gay Pride - just a few months late...
- November 24, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Poor Dudley Do Right looks like he's got a bad case of mumps. Or a few boils. Or several tumors coming out of his chin. He really should get that looked at. It looks painful.
- November 24, 2008 at 11:38 AM

Pumpkins as melons = amusing
Footurkey (close cousin to tofurky) = ramped up humor
Candy corn (o.0) cookie = EPIC fial.

"oumary" -- Yep, that's what *SHE* said. - November 24, 2008 at 11:44 AM
ROFL at the candy corn...
and I am not trying to be mean here...
We can click on your name if we want to go to your website. It makes you look desperate when you need to also put your blog address in the comments EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. - November 24, 2008 at 11:45 AM
"looks like a wookie in a clown suit"....THAT DID ME IN!!!! And it's very quiet today in the office since everyone is out for vacation...trying to smother my laughter was an even greater failure than usual.
The 'candy corn'...oh dear...that's just sad....and pretty freakin' funny.
Thanks for making my Monday so much better!

Why does that first guy have a belt buckle on his head?
I guess he's supposed to be a pilgrim, but he looks more like a leprechaun to me...
and the scarecrow does look like a crime victim!
Awesome wreckiness - November 24, 2008 at 11:50 AM
I think the scarecrow looks like the cowardly lion and the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz had a freaky love child.
- November 24, 2008 at 11:50 AM
- Sarah said...
If the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion had a lovechild ...
Nevermind, I don't want to see a cake decorator's interpretation of the act. - November 24, 2008 at 12:04 PM
- Ice Cream said...
My 4 year old is reading over my shoulder with running commentary. When we got to the cake with two "pumpkins" on it she said, "Oooo, mom, it's a scary moneter eyes."
And then at the candy corn cookie she said, "Oooo, mom, it's a triangle orange pizza with whipped cream on it."
Wookie in a clown costume and Franken turkey. I love your blog!!! - November 24, 2008 at 12:11 PM
>>It kinda looks like the decorator of the candy corn cookie is trying to send some message to her AA friends... ;)-<<
That's what I was thinkin'. No matter
how many cookies you wreck for the
holidays, you don't have to take a
drink. ; ) - November 24, 2008 at 12:26 PM

That second one looks like Super Mario as a pilgrim. And the scarecrow is SCARY.

Maybe it's because I am being dense, or maybe it's cos I'm English but whats the last one as I have no idea what candy corn is.
- November 24, 2008 at 12:32 PM
And why is there a random Special Dark bar hanging out under the turkey-football?
- November 24, 2008 at 12:35 PM
I don't hate the turkey/football cake except the dollar store crap thrown on it. As a football fan, I kind of dig it otherwise.
Wookie in a clown suit is CLASSIC... it's going to be one of those things that will pop into my head from time to time.

And no, I don't have a point to that - November 24, 2008 at 12:39 PM
I'm surprised you didn't comment on how the scarecrow and the dudley-do-right cakes were Cupcake cakes. However i must confess, i find the scarecrow adorable.

The football turkey looks like he just got done with an autopsy!

that candy corn one looks like a really pathetic takeoff on the cover art of "Dark Side of the Moon".
- November 24, 2008 at 12:48 PM
The colors aren't even the right way on the candy corn, white goes on the top, then orange, then yellow!
- November 24, 2008 at 1:15 PM
Okay, so that last one is ridiculous. How sad and pathetic that the decorator couldn't even be bothered to cut out a triangle. Definitely not worth the $7/hr. they 're probably getting paid.
- November 24, 2008 at 1:21 PM
- Risha said...
Hey Laura, this is candy corn. Named for the shape, not the flavor - it's just a slightly squishy sugar candy.
For the record, that one was the funniest thing I've seen all month! - November 24, 2008 at 1:29 PM
- Aviatrix said...
First thought: Is that a football with pilgrims on it? I then considered the post-caesarian turkey interpretation, but couldn't quite make the lumps into wings or drumsticks. Either way, what are the little figures? Football players?
And then whatever the tool that is used to make the .. squiggles on the Wookie needs to be taken away from that decorator.
I like your reader's "can a four-year-old tell what it is" test for decorated cakes.
Keep 'em coming. - November 24, 2008 at 1:57 PM
- Das Mutter said...
Even my 3 year looked at the first picture and happily declaired, "It's a football cake!" Incidentally, I saw nearly the same one at the store today and wished I'd brought my camera! Thankfully there are plenty of these to go around.
- November 24, 2008 at 1:59 PM
- Unknown said...
Ok now heaven forbid you make the cooking into a triangle shape but the minimunm you could do is get it isn the right color or hey even better just fromst the triangle portion
How lazy are these people - November 24, 2008 at 2:03 PM
- harmzie said...
The colours on the "candy corn" are actually pretty impressive. Even the blending! It's almost like they HAD a Candy Corn to model from and then... oh, I don't know... ate it?
Where I come from, basic shapes are covered in pre-school. It shouldn't have been too hard to pull this one from the fires of wreck-dom - November 24, 2008 at 2:08 PM
- joyce said...
Dear Laura from England---candy corn is featured in the colored triangular pieces making the turkey feather "fan" in the turkey cupcakes in the post from the day before. Candy corn is big here in the USA at Halloween.

- Scritzy said...
My hysterectomy scar looks better than whatever happened to that turfootball.
My first thought when I saw Shrimp Ears was, "What does a leprechaun have to do with Thanksgiving?"
The scarecrow's suit looks like something from the mid-1970s, when polyester was king.
And the cookie ... No. Just no. - November 24, 2008 at 2:42 PM

At first glance, the turkey football does indeed look like it had an emergency Caesarian section, but after careful study I'm pretty sure it's gastric bypass surgery. I mean, look at that waistline!

The more I see of this stuff the more I wonder:
are people actually BUYING these cakes/cookies/etc? I mean, I know you'd probably have to buy one just to take the picture to send in, but presumably the stores are paying people to produce this ... stuff; and there are other people who are paying good money to BUY these wrecks!! - November 24, 2008 at 4:12 PM

ok Ummm I didnt get the entire candy corn thing until i tilted my head and thought long and hard about it.

The 'candy corn cookie' had me rolling on the floor. How FREAKING HARD could it be to at least cut the friggin' thing?!
I find myself curious: do the turkey-football's legs come off? Do you get a drumstick of sugar-coated goodness? Or are they solid icing?
Much to my chagrin, I've learned that my phone refuses to send pictures to my email. This sucks, as I am thus unable to send you some truly atrocious creations that I've seen on display at my job's bakery. - November 24, 2008 at 6:49 PM
I don't know what I liked more, the fact that the "turkey" appeared to have gold "wingcuffs" or that it pooped out a wrapped Hershey's Dark Chocolate Miniature bar!

The candy-corn cookie is mine and YES I bought it. Here's why -- it was more than half off. I love those cookies but usually am too cheap to buy one. How could I pass up this Wreck for less than a dollar?

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.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

Genital Herpes Relief
August 16, 2008 by admin
TIRED OF THE PAIN AND ANGUISH OF ORAL or Genital Herpes OUTBREAKS?
Herpeset.com/img/Herpeset/herpes_blister.jpg" />You can feel it coming on? That tingling sensation or hot feeling that tells you a Herpes blister is about to erupt. There is nothing you can do to stop it, and you know it's contagious, which just adds to your stress level. The same questions keep running through your mind every time it happens: "How long will this outbreak last? When will I get another one? Is there any way to get rid of this quickly?"
FINALLY! SAFE, Homeopathic Relief IS HERE!
Herpeset.com/img/Herpeset/Herpeset_bottles.jpg" alt="" />Scientists are still searching for a herpes cure, but now you can get natural homeopathic relief from the painful symptoms of herpes eruptions with Herpeset™, a very special homeopathic blend of 9 ingredients, each known in the homeopathic community to safely reduce the discomfort caused by symptoms of Herpes Simplex Virus, such as:
- Swelling
- Burning
- Inflammation
- Stinging
- Itching
- Pain and ache
A liquid oral spray, Herpeset™ is absorbed quickly into the blood vessels under the tongue, bypassing the digestive tract, which can slow the absorption of orally administered products. Our sublingual application is designed to speed delivery of ingredients to combat your symptoms so you can feel better quickly, and resume your normal activities sooner.
Herpeset™'s unique blend of homeopathic ingredients is designed to attack multiple symptoms, and can be safely used with other medications with no drowsiness or adverse side effects. Just spray under the tongue up to 3 times a day for safe, effective relief!*
Homeopathic doctors have been using the separate ingredients in Herpeset ™ to treat single symptoms of oral and Genital Herpes for decades, but our experts in homeopathy have chosen a blend of these natural ingredients to help relieve a wider variety of symptoms in one, easy-to-use spray application. Here are a few samples of the symptoms that each ingredient is recognized by authoritative homeopathic texts to help relieve see Ingredients page for full listing:
- Rhus tox: Reduces itching/inflammation associated with blisters and itchy skin eruptions
- Apis Mellifica: Relieves burning, stinging pain and swelling
- Baptista (Wild Indigo): Reduces mouth ulcers
- Capsicum (Cayenne Pepper): Pain killer
- Nitricum Acidum (Nitric Acid): Helps heal cracking and bleeding & arrests spreading
- Pyrogenium: speeds healing of abscesses
There is no known cure for genital herpes. This product will not stop the transmission of the herpes virus from one person to another. Thus, you should take every precaution to inform your sexual partner that you have the herpes virus and practice safe sex. Women who are pregnant or lactating should consult their physician regarding the risk to their unborn child when the active Herpes virus is present as Herpeset ™ cannot stop the transmission of the disease to the unborn child or a nursing child.
Once a person becomes infected, Herpes Simplex Virus lies dormant in the body, waiting for just the right conditions to become active again. There can be many triggers which activate the virus, such as eating arginine-rich foods (like chocolate, cola, beer, seeds and nuts); the onset of a cold or fever; sunburn; the menses cycle & any physical or emotional event that introduces stress to the body. Each person's triggers are different, but all herpes sufferers have one thing in common–worrying about the next outbreak adds even more stress, which just feeds the vicious cycle and makes it worse!
Our unique combination of time-tested homeopathic ingredients in Herpeset ™ is designed to reduce the severity of an outbreak and help your body heal itself*. So what are you waiting for?
You'll want to have plenty of HERPESET ™ on hand so you can start to Clobber Painful Herpes Outbreaks Easier and Safer than ever before!

So let's see...that's baseball, right? Okey doke. [virtually rifling through photos] Uhhh. Ah! Here we go:
Mmm, this reminds me of that most fragrant of bakery delicacies: the moldy kitchen sponge. And that Christmas tinsel? Flossing WIN.
What's wrong with this baseball diamond? Ah, the answer is in the question, grasshoppah. [nodding sagely] The answer...is in the question.
In fact, most of the "diamonds" on these Wrecks are anything but:
Although frankly, singling out the diamond issue here is a little like complaining there are no in-flight peanuts while the plane is going down.
Now, I never thought I would say this, but...Thank goodness for plastic flotsam!
Wow. This may be the first time I've ever hoped someone was colorblind. You know, for his/her own sake.
Natalee S., Mary G., Dawn B., Hannah, & Ashley P., those "baseballs" are terrifying. Hold me?

NOTE: No, you're not losing your mind; two of these Wrecks have been posted before. Oopsie. I was, uh, testing your memory. Yeah. That's it.
(On the other hand, perhaps you are losing your mind, and only think you're reading this right now. Have you considered that? Hmmm?)

THL Places Overview
The THL Places Portal supports scholarly projects and participatory projects by local communities on the culture, ecology, and geography of the Tibetan plateau and southern Himalayas. All resources will be published in a scholarly format in the Tibetan and Himalayan Historical & Cultural Geography Portal, and in more accessible formats in the Tibetan Geotourism Portal. The former serves scholars, teachers, students, and others with a scholarly bent, while the latter serves visitors to the region while promoting tourism that benefits local communities and features immersive engagement. Resources include maps, images, audio-video, essays, and place studies.
The technical core is GIS (Geographical Information Systems), which documents places by latitude and longitude, and thus allows for analysis of places in relationship to other associated data, the visualization of relationships with maps, and the indexing of large pools of resources by place (images, audio-video, bibliographies, texts). We are using GIS to document the contemporary situation of the region and its history.

Custom handmade to order right here in our Morayfield workshop from eco-friendly & sustainable Queensland Hoop Pine which have been salvaged from old Queenslander houses that were demolished or destroyed. This version of our designer High Bench Tables features a beautiful dark rich chocolate and warm walnut stained finished, reminiscent of a country provincial farmhouse. It is designed to be used as a high bench dining table for the eat in kitchen, or a functional kitchen island bench for that much needed counter space or as a fun workstation-desk for that super cool entrepreneur.
Each high bench table is custom made to order just for you right here in our workshop in Morayfield. The recycled timber is procured right from source and are salvaged old floorboards, ceiling beams, ceiling battens, weatherboards etc. that were once a part of an old Queenslander style house that has been demolished.
With a solid chunky 5cm thick table top, seating for 6 to 8 people, the 95cm height makes it ideal as a kitchen island or tall bar table. The recommended dining chair / stool height is 65 - 70cm high. The narrow table width is great for space conscious homes. Besides being suited for the kitchen or dining room, the table dimensions also makes it a great outdoor table for a balcony, patio or an alfresco area. For the larger homes, this is a terrific feature as an Entrance / Hall Table or Sideboard. It'll look spectacular as an Architect or Designer's desk in a SoHo loft-style warehouse apartment or office. The foot rail running along the length of the table provides added comfort as footrest. We can also remove the foot rail and substitute it with another shelf if you require more shelving needs. Drawers can easily be added to the underside of the table if you need more storage. This table also comes with the choice of 4 x lockable commercial grade castor wheels so you can move the table around your deck or kitchen with ease. Nudge down on the lever on each castor wheel to lock it and nudge it back up with your foot to unlock it. Once it's locked down, you can lean on the table and it won't budge. As this signature collection is designed and build exclusively in-house, we can CUSTOMISE the table to any colour, size, finish to suit your home or office interior. Alternatively, check out other examples of our extensive range of High Bench Tables for more inspiration and to see if there's a design you'll fall in love with.
Each piece of timber has been painstakingly sanded back to expose the original grains and texture of the wood. Each piece is carefully handmade and thoroughly prepared to ensure there are no splinters or remnant nails left in it. Lovingly and solidly built, this is a true heirloom piece that will withstand all heavy traffic and last for generations to come. Being solid recycled timber, there is little to no maintenance required. Besides this table, do you know we have a huge range of variations available for these workbench tables in different dimensions, finishes and optional extras? Shop our High Bench Table Collection now to see the full range. And remember, if you don't see it, we can MAKE it!
The "Once Upon A Queenslander" collection was designed to celebrate a beloved state and national icon, the Queenslander styled home. The Queenslander home is such a significant architectural representation of the Australian climate and lifestyle. As architectural styles develop into more modern trends over the years, more Queenslander houses have been torn down and demolished in favour of the contemporary homes. To salvage a part of these beautiful homes and capture a piece of our cultural heritage and history, the range has been specifically repurposed to give a second lease of life as functional sustainable and gorgeous furniture that is suited for daily use. The collection has been featured in recent times in:
* "Bespoke" Exhibition at the Queensland Museum
* "ReArt" Exhibition at m2 Gallery with Etsy & ReTrash
* Featured in Recycled Luxury London Magazine
* Featured in Eco Citizen Australia
* Featured in Australia Home Idea Magazine
* Featured in Architectural Digest
* Featured in ELLE Magazine
* Featured in The Courier Mail
* Featured in Grand Designs Magazine
Did you know that the purchase of this table will help to minimise the carbon footprint on our planet by minimising deforestation and logging? Pretty amazing! By choosing these lovely tables, you are also making a positive difference to preserve a beautiful Australian icon - the Queenslander house. While we are not able to save every one of them from the landfill, your purchase will help to give a second lease of life to this historical icon that has sheltered generations for many years. To help you support this legacy, this custom build piece comes with an awesome 10 Year Warranty!

If you've recently bought one of our furniture, here are some care instructions about how to keep your furniture looking good for years to come.
1. Our furniture is constructed from solid timber and are relatively hard wearing pieces of furniture. All it requires is some simple cleaning to protect it from the daily wear & tear.
2. Timber surfaces can be cleaned and protected with a spray on Furniture and Surface Polish. There are many good quality spray on furniture polishes available from your general hardware store but please be sure to test first on an inconspicuous area of the furniture before spraying on the visible faces and always follow the directions on the label.
3. Tougher marks on the timber surfaces can also be cleaned with mild cleaning products such as "Spray and Wipe". Do not use abrasive products like Jiff or scourers on the furniture as they can scratch the surfaces. Loose dust on the surface can be removed with a soft, lint-free cloth, gently rubbed over the surface. Dust is an abrasive and can scratch the surface, so be careful. Uneven areas can be dusted with a clean, natural bristle paint or artist's brush. Again, do not try to dust a surface that is severely deteriorated. Cloth fibers can catch and tear away pieces of the finish, veneer or loose parts. Even rough edges can splinter. Carving, fretwork, and other delicate work can be dusted with a soft bristle brush, with a vacuum cleaner host held close enough to take in the dust one it is dislodged by the brush. Do not use feather dusters, as they can scratch and pull off loose fragments of veneer.
4. Fabric can be cleaned with mild soapy water and a damp cloth. Be cautious and use only enough water to wet the surface without saturating the fabric and foam of the seat. Brush the fabric in the direction of the fabric pattern to avoid distorting the fabric grain. All our fabric is suitable to be scotch-guarded so if you would like to prolong the longevity of your upholstery, we highly recommend scotch-guarding it with a quality product.
5. Clean any stains or spills as soon as it happens to prevent it from having time to stain the fabric or product surface or become water logged.
6. Be sure to use a heat resistant tray / mat or coaster if you're intending to place a hot pot direct from the stove onto your table. Likewise, use a coaster whenever possible when serving chilled drinks on your table. Hot items, such as irons, coffee mugs, and steaming tureens can literally melt a finish away. Water from spills and condensation from vases and cold drink glasses can damage and deface coatings through "blooming," an effect that makes transparent coatings white or milky. Damage is even worse when the liquid itself stains the surface, such as when ink or coffee or tea is spilled, or if the coating is penetrated and the staining liquid enters the wood itself. Organic solvents, such as fingernail polish and remover, perfumes, and alcoholic drinks can behave as paint and varnish removers on many kinds of coatings. These problems are simple to address. Using coasters, oversized ashtrays, and writing pads can virtually eliminate the potential for damage.
7. Fungal damage, or rot, can only occur in areas of extreme dampness at moderate temperatures. Unless your furniture gets wet and stays wet, this type of damage is not normally a severe problem. However, if your furniture is stored in areas where water incursion is a common problem, such as basements or attics, these areas must be surveyed every time it rains or snows.
8. Before picking up a piece of furniture, make sure you know where the furniture is its strongest - generally along a major horizontal element - and try to carry it from these points. Protect the furniture to be moved with soft padding or wrap it in a blanket pad. Padding, which will provide extra insurance against bumping and gouging, is especially important if an item is going into storage. Before moving an item, make sure you know exactly where it goes next. Plan ahead to adjust the temperature and relative humidity in the new location so they are the same as where the furniture presently is. Extreme changes in temperature and humidity can cause splitting of joints and veneers. Never slide or drag furniture along the floor.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us for further assistance. Enjoy your new furniture and we hope it brings you many happy years of functionality!
