Responsibilities to Parents*
1Children, listen to me, your father;
act accordingly, that you may be safe.
2For the Lord sets a father in honor over his children
and confirms a mother's authority over her sons.
3Those who honor their father atone for sins;
4they store up riches who respect their mother.
5Those who honor their father will have joy in their own children,
and when they pray they are heard.
6Those who respect their father will live a long life;
those who obey the Lord honor their mother.
7Those who fear the Lord honor their father,
and serve their parents as masters.
8In word and deed honor your father,
that all blessings may come to you.a
9A father's blessing gives a person firm roots,
but a mother's curse uproots the growing plant.b
10Do not glory in your father's disgrace,
for that is no glory to you!
11A father's glory is glory also for oneself;
they multiply sin who demean their mother.c
12My son, be steadfast in honoring your father;
do not grieve him as long as he lives.d
13Even if his mind fails, be considerate of him;
do not revile him because you are in your prime.
14Kindness to a father will not be forgotten;
it will serve as a sin offering—it will take lasting root.
15In time of trouble it will be recalled to your advantage,
like warmth upon frost it will melt away your sins.
16Those who neglect their father are like blasphemers;
those who provoke their mother are accursed by their Creator.e
17My son, conduct your affairs with humility,
and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
18Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,
and you will find mercy in the sight of God.† f
20For great is the power of the Lord;
by the humble he is glorified.
21What is too sublime for you, do not seek;
do not reach into things that are hidden from you.g
22What is committed to you, pay heed to;
what is hidden is not your concern.
23In matters that are beyond you do not meddle,
when you have been shown more than you can understand.
24Indeed, many are the conceits of human beings;
evil imaginations lead them astray.
25Without the pupil of the eye, light is missing;
without knowledge, wisdom is missing.
26A stubborn heart will fare badly in the end;
those who love danger will perish in it.
27A stubborn heart will have many a hurt;
adding sin to sin is madness.
28When the proud are afflicted, there is no cure;
for they are offshoots of an evil plant.h
29The mind of the wise appreciates proverbs,
and the ear that listens to wisdom rejoices.
Alms for the Poor
30As water quenches a flaming fire,
so almsgiving atones for sins.i
31The kindness people have done crosses their paths later on;
should they stumble, they will find support.
* [3:1–16] Besides the virtues that must characterize our conduct toward God, special duties are enjoined, such as honor and respect toward parents, with corresponding blessings (vv. 1–9). By showing such respect especially to old and infirm parents (vv. 10–13), the sins of children are pardoned (vv. 14–15). Failure to honor father and mother is blasphemy and merits a curse from God (v. 16). Cf. Ex 20:12; Eph 6:2–3.
* [3:17–24] Humility gives you a true estimate of yourself (vv. 17–20; cf. 10:28), so that you will do what should be done, and avoid what is beyond your understanding and strength (vv. 21–23). Intellectual pride, however, leads you astray (v. 24). Ben Sira is perhaps warning his students against the perils of Greek philosophy.
† [3:18] Other ancient texts read as v. 19:
Many are lofty and famous,
but to the humble he reveals his plan.
* [3:25–29] The antidote for stubbornness is to be found in the search for knowledge and wisdom.
a. [3:8] Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16; Mt 15:4; 19:19; Mk 7:10; 10:19; Lk 18:20; Eph 6:2–3.
b. [3:9] Gn 27:27–29; 49:2–27.
e. [3:16] Prv 19:26; 30:11, 14, 17.
f. [3:18] Mt 23:12; Lk 1:52; 14:11; 18:14.
h. [3:28] Dt 32:32; Wis 12:10.
i. [3:30] Sir 7:32–36; 29:8–13; Dt 15:7–11; Tb 12:9; Dn 4:24.

For example...
Liz had Mike's Amazing Cakes replicate a favorite stuffed frog for her and her guy Nat's joint birthday celebration:
Ro Bruhn is an artist who makes colorful (and quite pretty) journals, like this one:
So for her birthday, her family surprised her with a cake version of that same journal:
Honestly, I kept getting the two photos mixed up, the cake is such a close match. Those buttons are fantastic. So are the ribbons. And the cover. Ok, fine, the whole thing's pretty darn cool. Ro says a local company did the cake, but she didn't say which one. So if you're reading this, Ro, let me know who to credit, k? (And thanks to Pauline L. for nominating the cake.)
And lastly, Andrew S. is the creator of the webcomic Elderly Apple, which is named for his character Pliny, the (you guessed it) Elderly Apple. As a fan of Cake Wrecks, he was inspired to order a cake version of Pliny for the site's birthday. This is Pliny:
Not the easiest thing to make a cake from, right? But look what Virginia Bakery came up with:
Isn't he great? Plus, he's our fondant-free sweet of the week. That's right - NO fondant. So in addition to pulling off a sculpted cake from a simple drawing, these bakers also got the icing glass smooth. For us amateur bakers, I think it's both inspiring and somewhat disheartening to know icing can actually look that good.
Have you had something replicated in cake form you'd like to nominate as a Sweet? Then send it to me at Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.

All real estate advertised herein is subject to the federal Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to advertise "any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin, or intention to make such preference, limitation or discrimination."
We will not knowingly accept or permit any advertisement for real estate that is in violation of the law. All persons are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised are available on an equal opportunity basis.
When it comes to buying, selling or leasing a home or renting an apartment, several state and federal laws were enacted to ensure the equal opportunity in housing for all people. The Civil Rights Act of 1966 prohibits all racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property. Moreover, the Fair Housing Act declares a national policy of fair housing throughout the United States, making illegal any discrimination in the sale, lease or rental of housing, or making housing otherwise unavailable, because of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin.
Other laws also impact the purchase, sale or lease of a home or renting an apartment. Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in places of public accommodations and commercial facilities. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act makes discrimination unlawful with respect to any aspect of a credit application on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age or because all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance program.
In addition, state and local laws often provide broader coverage and prohibit discrimination based on additional classes not covered by federal law.
As a home seller or landlord you have a responsibility and a requirement under the law not to discriminate in the sale, rental and financing of property on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. You cannot instruct the licensed broker or salesperson acting as your agent to convey for you any limitations in the sale or rental because the real estate professional is bound by law not to discriminate. Agents in a real estate transaction also are prohibited by law from discriminating on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. They are prohibited from complying with a request from the home seller or landlord to act in a discriminatory manner in the sale, lease or rental. Moreover, a home seller or landlord cannot establish discriminatory terms or conditions in the purchase or rental, deny that housing is available, or advertise that the property is available only to persons of a certain race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national original.
As someone seeking to purchase a home or rent an apartment, you have the right to expect that housing will be available to you without discrimination or other limitations based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. This includes the right to expect equal professional service, the opportunity to consider a broad range of housing choices, no discriminatory limitations on communities or locations of housing, no discrimination in the financing, appraising, or insuring of housing, reasonable accommodations in rules, practices and procedures for persons with disabilities, and to be free from harassment or intimidation for exercising your fair housing rights.
Complaints alleging discrimination in housing may be filed with the nearest office of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), or by calling HUD's toll free number, 1-800-669-9777 (voice), or 1-800-543-8294 (TDD).

Don't you love the twiddling detail?

I hope the pink heart cake wasn't actually left over from last Valentine's Day and redecorated.
- December 7, 2009 at 9:48 AM
Ahaha! Stra'berry's the best!
That other cake is having trouble with what flavor it is, too...
It's yellow. No, wait, chocolate. Both? To represent the two faces of Santa? - December 7, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Very funny! Am I the only one who thinks the last one looks like Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribean?
- December 7, 2009 at 9:49 AM
- Unknown said...
1) If the first one had been intentional in having that expression, I actually would have called it a fantastic job of showing subtle displeasure. But it's probably more likely to be merely bad alignment...
2) Took me a minute to figure out that the red under the eyes of the fourth was probably supposed to be rosy cheeks. I thought, "Why the **** would anyone make Santa's eyes look like they were either bleeding or had huge puffy red bags?"
3) How much you wanna bet that "straberry" is a substitute, like how "chocolatey" refers to "chocolate didn't even look at this."
wv: ressn - the resin-like product that a straberry cake is made from. - December 7, 2009 at 9:51 AM
Apparently, people will pay good money to be scared out of their wits. Horror movies, haunted houses, Santa cakes...
- December 7, 2009 at 9:54 AM
The third one looks like the coiled crap hound did a coiled crap on his Santa hat.
The last one lookes possessed.... - December 7, 2009 at 9:58 AM

Number 4...OH-EMM-GEE.

What can I say? I will certainly be good this year, I'd hate to see the "or else" from these guys.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:05 AM

I like that the creepiest one is a straberry cake! And I disagree with John I don't think it is strawberry misspelled. I think it is a straberry cake.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:07 AM
- Jens Knudsen (Sili) said...
The first one isn't all bad. I've been holding off from buying a heart shaped 'tin' (teflon), since there's only really one thing to use it for.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:09 AM
John writes of the last cake, "Yes. Strawberry is misspelled."
I thought they'd misspelled "staberry." - December 7, 2009 at 10:09 AM
The 4th Santa from the top--- my son is wondering if Santa's hat is made from the fur of the coiled crap hound.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:09 AM
- Nicole said...
I never knew heart shaped pans could be so versatile. (The first cake)
- December 7, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Wow--when you put them all together on a card like that...it's just ten times scarier!
Great idea! - December 7, 2009 at 10:12 AM
- Livia said...
Credit is due to the creator of the first one for re-using a Valentine's day mould...
- December 7, 2009 at 10:15 AM
The whispering one is by far the most terrifying. The red alcoholic schnoz, the red droopy bags under the eyes, the leering upward gaze... I'm glad it's 10:15 in the morning so that I can move past this before going to bed tonight (hopefully)!
P.S. What says Christmas like a "straberry cake"? Nothing, that's what. - December 7, 2009 at 10:15 AM
- Lisa said...
No wonder the song tells you to "jump in bed, cover up your head, because Santa Claus comes tonight" I'd be hiding too if that scary dude was headed toward my house.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:15 AM

I personally love the first one, where it's apparent that they took a heart-shaped pan and flipped it upside down.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:15 AM
- Giana said...
The second to the last cake looks like the "hat" was piped with corned beef hash. Yum!
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth..... - December 7, 2009 at 10:22 AM

ROTFLOL! Those cakes are Awesome!
You're the best Jen! Have a great holiday! - December 7, 2009 at 10:24 AM
Very creeeeeeeeepy. Good thing I actually know where a the REAL Santa can be found 24/7. He makes lunch every day at the local vo-tech.
The chili cheese fries are to DIE for!! Or at least gain 6lbs XD - December 7, 2009 at 10:25 AM
- Amanda Mac said...
The fourth one down is just flat creepy.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:28 AM
- Robert said...
Mommy, save me.
Those are some scary cakes. I might replace my annual Christmas Evil viewing with staring at those cakes for an hour or so. It'll certainly be scarier, but will lack the warmth and heart of the film.
Tough call. - December 7, 2009 at 10:40 AM
- EG said...
Is it weird that I like the one that everyone hates? If his eyes were both looking ahead, I'd like #4!
- December 7, 2009 at 10:49 AM
My first thought was the third one had been sipping a little "adult" eggnog!
- December 7, 2009 at 10:53 AM
i am going to show this to my kids! ;)
- December 7, 2009 at 10:54 AM
As a child, I never would've run screaming to do the dishes over Santa as seen here-- if I was naughty and DIDN'T do the dishes, maybe no one who looked like this guy would've shown up at all, preferably.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:55 AM
- LaurenH said...
I have to say, these were very well-organized in that they got progressively creepier!
I kept thinking "OK, that one HAD to be the worst..." *breathe*...*scroll, scroll* - AHHHH!!!!! - December 7, 2009 at 10:59 AM
That last one sorta looks like Jack (the pumpkin king)
- December 7, 2009 at 10:59 AM
The first cakes looks like it could be the Other Santa in Coraline. At the very least, the Other Mother in disguise.

The role of creepy cake santa #4 is being played by Dennis Franz!

like a train wreck, i can't stop looking at the third one (with the flavor-identity crisis).
what is UP with that misplaced, droopy, globby eye?!
wwbjtot?!(what would baby jesus think of this?!);-) - December 7, 2009 at 11:11 AM

Oh my god. The third cake and the last one are insanely creepy.

I just googled "STRABERRY" with disturbing results. I don't think I want this cake.

Creepy Cake #2 looks like Pennywise the Clown trying to disguise himself as Santa; "My reindeer floooat....."
whereas Creepy Cake #4...C'mon, Cthulu, I know December belongs to you, but you've done better disguises than that.

I didn't realize that Santa had such scary blue eyes...but since all of these show him that way I guess it must be the truth...... :-)

Oh geez! That last one is from some campy horror film. I may have to sleep with the light on until after christmas!

Even the best (as in bad, not good) 'cake wrecker baker' should have known to throw number 4 AWAY! Really, really scary!
I have been threatenig my kids with 'be good, santa is watching' all day...this pic might really aid that threat (or totally ruin christmas), WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET A MOMENTS PEACE. - December 7, 2009 at 11:34 AM
- Melissa Hale said...
So i took the picture of the first one, in my local grocery store, and I'd like to point out that the cake was right next to weight watchers snacks. Great placement :P

I think the gumball eye santa (third cake) is the creepiest!
- December 7, 2009 at 11:38 AM
"Straberry Cake" *snort* I love it when the Cake Wreck isn't even ON the cake (although the cake, in and of itself, is quite certainly a Wreck)!
Demented Santas...hoo boy. - December 7, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Those are sincerely creepy...I'm going to have nightmares
- December 7, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Who knew Santa had such cold, dead eyes. No wonder so many children scream for their parents when they place him on his lap for the annual picture. Frightening!

Oh those Jack Elam eyes...! - December 7, 2009 at 11:48 AM

Ok, I read through all the comments so far and no one has mentioned how much the last cake looks like Robot Santa from Futurama! http://www.entertainmentopia.com/screenshots/dvd/futurama_vol_2_santa.jpg
Am I really going to be the only one humming "Santa Claus is Gunning You Down" in my head all day?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZFSZguyCkE - December 7, 2009 at 11:50 AM
I like that first Santa's double chin. I've heard of people with heart shaped faces--this gives it new meaning.
Carol - December 7, 2009 at 11:58 AM
If you turn the first one upside down you get a pointy chined laughing man with a weird haircut, so the cake is scary from both sides of the table.
- December 7, 2009 at 11:59 AM
Somebody call an exorcist to please fix these cakes.
So, what exactly is chocolate yellow cake? - December 7, 2009 at 11:59 AM
- Donna M. said...
I love the reused Valentine's cake pan upside down on the first one.
Where I work, we got in the Christmas shaped cake pans...I noticed that Santa is the same shape they use for a pumpkin and the Easter Bunny, just rotated the pan a little bit and put a different label on it. - December 7, 2009 at 11:59 AM
- Three Little Apples said...
Hahaha, that's great Melissa G... that first santa next to the Weight Watchers.
He sees you when you're sleeping, but also when you cheat on your diet... - December 7, 2009 at 12:14 PM
So these are those Santas who say, "ohohoh," right?
- December 7, 2009 at 12:19 PM

"I hope the pink heart cake wasn't actually left over from last Valentine's Day and redecorated."

D: Black Peter's got nothing on these scary Santas.
And why must all their eyes be such an unnatural shade of blue? Has Santa been taking Spice? - December 7, 2009 at 12:40 PM
- Melissa (& Billy) said...
LOL! I hear your commentary in Peter Cullen's rendition of KARR in the old Knight Rider series. Complete with evil, evil laugh (and boy can he do a doozy of an evil laugh).
No wonder all the 'pictures with Santa' I see of children are of them red-faced and screaming in terror.
WV: Lette: Looks like there's going to be a few less lette(s) to Santa this year... - December 7, 2009 at 1:10 PM
Wow, are you guys familiar with Brian Peppers?
Because the third cake down is a dead ringer for him. Maybe he's trying the hat and beard to keep from being made as a child molester. - December 7, 2009 at 1:13 PM
- Karen and Kyle said...
My 4 year old son looked at the cakes with me and he was naming them as they scrolled by. "Santa....Santa...Santa...Santa's mother...Santa" LOL Santa's Mother is scary looking!
- December 7, 2009 at 1:13 PM
WTF is Strabery??
- December 7, 2009 at 1:15 PM
The insane laugh, and the whispering one, are by far the most disturbing.....*shudders*
- December 7, 2009 at 1:22 PM
OMG #4 looks like a zombie ripped its skull open to eat the brains.
- December 7, 2009 at 1:23 PM
- LeftWingLock said...
The greeting card is awesome!! It's like a crowd of zombie Santas just blankly staring at you...and what says "holiday" better than zombie Santas blankly staring at you?
Especially with sprinkles... - December 7, 2009 at 1:31 PM
- Unknown said...
The spice hahaha
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer.
I never knew santa was a Fremen! - December 7, 2009 at 1:37 PM
I think cake # 3 was inspired by Sherwin Linton's classic "Santa Got a DWI."
- December 7, 2009 at 1:38 PM

To maya:
You're right, it totally does look like poo-brain. I was so spooked by the eyes I didn't even notice. *shudder*
To I Love Baby Quilts!:
The cakes are more terrifying than RoboSanta! They're probably Slurm-flavoured.
Merry Xmas! ;) - December 7, 2009 at 1:40 PM

How OLD is that upsind downheart shaped cookie cake?
- December 7, 2009 at 1:44 PM
The second-last one looked like Santa's autopsy in the middle of checking out his brain!
- December 7, 2009 at 1:49 PM
- Laura Wynn said...
I am totally creeped out. Thank you, thank you. - December 7, 2009 at 1:56 PM
Is it just me or does that first Santa look like someone flipped a leftover Valentine's cookie and just added icing?
- December 7, 2009 at 2:02 PM
Move aside irrational fear of clowns...helloo irrational fear of Santa (cakes?).
- December 7, 2009 at 2:04 PM
@Cory-- HOLY *&%#!
I don't want that cake, either. In fact, I'd like the health dept. to go shut down the bakery.
Although, now that I think about it, neither act (what I just googled, nor the creation of that cake) probably got much thought or planning ahead of time. - December 7, 2009 at 2:32 PM
I love how the first one's shape is just an upside-down heart. Very strange.
- December 7, 2009 at 2:46 PM
A thought for the creator of yellow/chocolate/DUI Santa:
Just because you've decided to go ahead and make a wrecky CCC (Ptooey!), it does not give you license to explore any new possibilities regarding the placement of Santa's eyes.
Does it? I mean, according to CCC law. - December 7, 2009 at 2:47 PM
- Chrystalline said...
Eeeee...Nightmare Fuel, for sure!
- December 7, 2009 at 2:53 PM

And yes, these cakes are very, very creepy. - December 7, 2009 at 2:58 PM
- Miranda said...
AAAHHHH!!! Do Not Want!
Man, just stick with some holly type icing decorations and a nice, easy to spell "Happy Yule" in the middle... I hate me some creepy faces! - December 7, 2009 at 2:59 PM
- Hurricane Heide said...
Oh my goodness! Do you know how dull life would be without this?!?! No giggles? I am thankful every day for insane cake decorators, and both of you for pointing them out.
- December 7, 2009 at 3:37 PM
- queenb said...
I bet if you scraped off a layer of icing on that first Santa it would say "HUGE ME".
These give new meaning to the song "It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas"...
and apparently in some little known Christmas carol called "Santa is a Blue-eyed Zombie" we find out that...well...Santa is a blue-eyed zombie...(run away...run away!)
~Bonnie B - December 7, 2009 at 4:14 PM
I'm hoping this isn't blatant advertising- but I've been trying to reach you on twitter to ask if you would re-tweet something, because it would really help a good cause. It would be the following:

Well, straWberry and straberry do sound fairly similar.
What's with Santa's brain exploding from his head? - December 7, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Umm... yikes?

Coraline's Other Santa is a good choice for #4, ("...or else.") but I prefer to think of him as the Hogfather.
Viewed as such, that cake is quite accurate.

- December 7, 2009 at 6:04 PM

I love the fact that the first cake is in a shopping cart with another cake and then a crap load of Weight Watchers products.
I bet that shopper orders a Diet Coke with their Big Mac too! LOL - December 7, 2009 at 6:10 PM

OK, Cory, you made me look.
YIKES!!! - December 7, 2009 at 7:03 PM

This has prob'ly already been said. - December 7, 2009 at 7:19 PM

Blue Jean FTW! That cracked me up. And yay for whoever made the Dune comment. Made my night!
I have an unhealthy fear of clowns and spiders. You can now add Santa to that list. *shudder* - December 7, 2009 at 7:24 PM
hi!! long time reader but first time commenting i think! just had to let u know the "under neat that" cake was shown, and a mention made to a website set up to show "silly or badly made cakes" on the british BBC show "Have I got news for you"!!! So cool! X
mentioned at around 33minutes 15 seconds in! dont know if bbciplayer works in the us tho... - December 7, 2009 at 7:41 PM
This is one of my favorite posts, love the commentry.
- December 7, 2009 at 7:42 PM
this one made me lol. in the library. hehe. the last one reminds me of the evil santa from "Futurama."
- December 7, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Ok, "or else" is scaring me right outta my wits.
I found the first one to be sweet, actually. Those pans cost enough, it's great when you can find another use for them! (we'll just cross our fingers it wasn't left over from Feb)
Clowns -- Santa -- clowns -- santa... oh boy. - December 7, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Remember- SANTA is just one letter placement away from SATAN this holiday season in the bakery!
- December 7, 2009 at 8:39 PM
- Ms. Candice said...
I think the award for "most likely to emotionally scar" is a tie between the "bunt pan" mound-faced santa and the skella-claus (now with straberry!)
- December 7, 2009 at 9:13 PM
According to DH, number 2 looks like Cartman playing Santa, and number 4 looks like a Sontaran Santa.
WV:"santl" : like "straberry", these cakes are only in the ball park of "santa" - December 7, 2009 at 9:25 PM
- Unknown said...
ROFL. The song is a bit creepy by itself but the killer Santa Police will enforce it. ^^
- December 7, 2009 at 9:42 PM
That first one looks like it could have been a repurposed ass cake.
- December 7, 2009 at 9:46 PM
While these may be poor Santa cakes, they're all excellent candidates for being great Krampus cakes!
- December 7, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Consider that the Identity Confused Santa is CCC(die DEMON!!!!) it is entirely possible that it could be BOTH.
- December 7, 2009 at 10:11 PM

Straberry Cake. Doubly good!
- December 7, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Why does Santa's head in the first cake heart me? It's a Valentine's pan, right?
- December 7, 2009 at 11:12 PM
- Erin said...
I know I shouldn't ask, but how, HOW can you misspell strawberry??? straw. berry. shouldn't it be written on something in the store to check? I mean really people. really.

Santa #1 looks as if he "got an idea. An awful idea." Yes, methinks this Santa "got a wonderful, AWFUL idea!"
And I gotta ask, did Santa #4 star in that 80's classic film, "Silent Night, Deadly night"?? Yikes!!! - December 7, 2009 at 11:54 PM

That "so be good" cake will give me nightmares. Yaaaaaaaaaaah!

- December 8, 2009 at 6:20 AM
My son's first thoughts upon seeing these were, "I wonder if the bakery used an old Valentines Day cake?" and "A Santa poo hat!"
I love how you've taught him the fine art of cake recognition. :)
And as for word verification, I had to laugh when I saw "mistras". My first thought for that was Tiger. - December 8, 2009 at 8:43 AM
[Chuckling to self] Those would seem like sweet little Santas if you knew the REAL story behind where Santa came from. . . Still, yes, scary. If you are having trouble about how to break it to your kids that Santa isn't real, just show them one of these!
Anna Marie - December 8, 2009 at 9:07 AM

ok, I did it, I looked up Straberry, and I think the (EEEEWWWW) description might actually describe what happened to that santa...
Did I mention EWWWWWW!!!
WV: turbu- the singular version of turbus, a large very fast yellow object. - December 8, 2009 at 9:57 AM
Oh gosh these scary white ones are surely undead santas.
Our children will be terrified at the thought of these horrors coming down the chimney. - December 8, 2009 at 1:48 PM
- Emma said...
I'm officially scarred for life.
- December 8, 2009 at 4:58 PM
The first one looks like a left over valentine cake so they turned it upside down and whipped a Santa on it.
Honestly, I could call THAT a heart attack. -Whispers- ''I also know how fast your heart beats..'' Yes, kids! Its your very own Santa cake! No hearts here at ALL!'' I honestly thought JESUS was in our hearts. Cake creators gag: ''You see, Christmas is about celebrating Jesus birthday! And Jesus is in our hearts! And Santa is used to help spread Christmas cheer. So the heart stands for Jesus! Ya!''... So Santa and Jesus are like BFF'S? Or siamese twins? FIND OUT! NEXT TIME IN: CONFUSING CAKES! (ACTUALLY WE NEVER REALLY WILL FIND OUT!) - December 8, 2009 at 9:18 PM

Ha! My almost 2-year-old looked at the first cake and said, "Ooooh, MONSTER!"

- December 11, 2009 at 5:54 PM
that is very funny. bit disturbing though...
- December 20, 2009 at 1:04 PM
The last one would truly haunt me... if it has stra'berry filling in it, wouldn't it look like Santa was bleeding when you cut into it?!

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.

The Mortgage Calculator helps estimate the monthly payment due along with other financial costs associated with mortgages. There are options to include extra payments or annual percentage increases of common mortgage-related expenses. The calculator is mainly intended for use by U.S. residents.
A mortgage is a loan secured by property, usually real estate property. Lenders define it as the money borrowed to pay for real estate. In essence, the lender helps the buyer pay the seller of a house, and the buyer agrees to repay the money borrowed over a period of time, usually 15 or 30 years in the U.S. Each month, a payment is made from buyer to lender. A portion of the monthly payment is called the principal, which is the original amount borrowed. The other portion is the interest, which is the cost paid to the lender for using the money. There may be an escrow account involved to cover the cost of property taxes and insurance. The buyer cannot be considered the full owner of the mortgaged property until the last monthly payment is made. In the U.S., the most common mortgage loan is the conventional 30-year fixed-interest loan, which represents 70% to 90% of all mortgages. Mortgages are how most people are able to own homes in the U.S.
Mortgage Calculator Components
A mortgage usually includes the following key components. These are also the basic components of a mortgage calculator.
- Loan amount—the amount borrowed from a lender or bank. In a mortgage, this amounts to the purchase price minus any down payment. The maximum loan amount one can borrow normally correlates with household income or affordability. To estimate an affordable amount, please use our House Affordability Calculator.
- Down payment—the upfront payment of the purchase, usually a percentage of the total price. This is the portion of the purchase price covered by the borrower. Typically, mortgage lenders want the borrower to put 20% or more as a down payment. In some cases, borrowers may put down as low as 3%. If the borrowers make a down payment of less than 20%, they will be required to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). Borrowers need to hold this insurance until the loan's remaining principal dropped below 80% of the home's original purchase price. A general rule-of-thumb is that the higher the down payment, the more favorable the interest rate and the more likely the loan will be approved.
- Loan term—the amount of time over which the loan must be repaid in full. Most fixed-rate mortgages are for 15, 20, or 30-year terms. A shorter period, such as 15 or 20 years, typically includes a lower interest rate.
- Interest rate—the percentage of the loan charged as a cost of borrowing. Mortgages can charge either fixed-rate mortgages (FRM) or adjustable-rate mortgages (ARM). As the name implies, interest rates remain the same for the term of the FRM loan. The calculator above calculates fixed rates only. For ARMs, interest rates are generally fixed for a period of time, after which they will be periodically adjusted based on market indices. ARMs transfer part of the risk to borrowers. Therefore, the initial interest rates are normally 0.5% to 2% lower than FRM with the same loan term. Mortgage interest rates are normally expressed in Annual Percentage Rate (APR), sometimes called nominal APR or effective APR. It is the interest rate expressed as a periodic rate multiplied by the number of compounding periods in a year. For example, if a mortgage rate is 6% APR, it means the borrower will have to pay 6% divided by twelve, which comes out to 0.5% in interest every month.
Costs Associated with Home Ownership and Mortgages
Monthly mortgage payments usually comprise the bulk of the financial costs associated with owning a house, but there are other substantial costs to keep in mind. These costs are separated into two categories, recurring and non-recurring.
Recurring Costs
Most recurring costs persist throughout and beyond the life of a mortgage. They are a significant financial factor. Property taxes, home insurance, HOA fees, and other costs increase with time as a byproduct of inflation. In the calculator, the recurring costs are under the "Include Options Below" checkbox. There are also optional inputs within the calculator for annual percentage increases under "More Options." Using these can result in more accurate calculations.
- Property taxes—a tax that property owners pay to governing authorities. In the U.S., property tax is usually managed by municipal or county governments. All 50 states impose taxes on property at the local level. The annual real estate tax in the U.S. varies by location; on average, Americans pay about 1.1% of their property's value as property tax each year.
- Home insurance—an insurance policy that protects the owner from accidents that may happen to their real estate properties. Home insurance can also contain personal liability coverage, which protects against lawsuits involving injuries that occur on and off the property. The cost of home insurance varies according to factors such as location, condition of the property, and the coverage amount.
- Private mortgage insurance (PMI)—protects the mortgage lender if the borrower is unable to repay the loan. In the U.S. specifically, if the down payment is less than 20% of the property's value, the lender will normally require the borrower to purchase PMI until the loan-to-value ratio (LTV) reaches 80% or 78%. PMI price varies according to factors such as down payment, size of the loan, and credit of the borrower. The annual cost typically ranges from 0.3% to 1.9% of the loan amount.
- HOA fee—a fee imposed on the property owner by a homeowner's association (HOA), which is an organization that maintains and improves the property and environment of the neighborhoods within its purview. Condominiums, townhomes, and some single-family homes commonly require the payment of HOA fees. Annual HOA fees usually amount to less than one percent of the property value.
- Other costs—includes utilities, home maintenance costs, and anything pertaining to the general upkeep of the property. It is common to spend 1% or more of the property value on annual maintenance alone.
Non-Recurring Costs
These costs aren't addressed by the calculator, but they are still important to keep in mind.
- Closing costs—the fees paid at the closing of a real estate transaction. These are not recurring fees, but they can be expensive. In the U.S., the closing cost on a mortgage can include an attorney fee, the title service cost, recording fee, survey fee, property transfer tax, brokerage commission, mortgage application fee, points, appraisal fee, inspection fee, home warranty, pre-paid home insurance, pro-rata property taxes, pro-rata homeowner association dues, pro-rata interest, and more. These costs typically fall on the buyer, but it is possible to negotiate a "credit" with the seller or the lender. It is not unusual for a buyer to pay about $10,000 in total closing costs on a $400,000 transaction.
- Initial renovations—some buyers choose to renovate before moving in. Examples of renovations include changing the flooring, repainting the walls, updating the kitchen, or even overhauling the entire interior or exterior. While these expenses can add up quickly, renovation costs are optional, and owners may choose not to address renovation issues immediately.
- Miscellaneous—new furniture, new appliances, and moving costs are typical non-recurring costs of a home purchase. This also includes repair costs.
Early Repayment and Extra Payments
In many situations, mortgage borrowers may want to pay off mortgages earlier rather than later, either in whole or in part, for reasons including but not limited to interest savings, wanting to sell their home, or refinancing. Our calculator can factor in monthly, annual, or one-time extra payments. However, borrowers need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of paying ahead on the mortgage.
Early Repayment Strategies
Aside from paying off the mortgage loan entirely, typically, there are three main strategies that can be used to repay a mortgage loan earlier. Borrowers mainly adopt these strategies to save on interest. These methods can be used in combination or individually.
- Make extra payments—This is simply an extra payment over and above the monthly payment. On typical long-term mortgage loans, a very big portion of the earlier payments will go towards paying down interest rather than the principal. Any extra payments will decrease the loan balance, thereby decreasing interest and allowing the borrower to pay off the loan earlier in the long run. Some people form the habit of paying extra every month, while others pay extra whenever they can. There are optional inputs in the Mortgage Calculator to include many extra payments, and it can be helpful to compare the results of supplementing mortgages with or without extra payments.
- Biweekly payments—The borrower pays half the monthly payment every two weeks. With 52 weeks in a year, this amounts to 26 payments or 13 months of mortgage repayments during the year. This method is mainly for those who receive their paycheck biweekly. It is easier for them to form a habit of taking a portion from each paycheck to make mortgage payments. Displayed in the calculated results are biweekly payments for comparison purposes.
- Refinance to a loan with a shorter term—Refinancing involves taking out a new loan to pay off an old loan. In employing this strategy, borrowers can shorten the term, typically resulting in a lower interest rate. This can speed up the payoff and save on interest. However, this usually imposes a larger monthly payment on the borrower. Also, a borrower will likely need to pay closing costs and fees when they refinance.
Reasons for early repayment
Making extra payments offers the following advantages:
- Lower interest costs—Borrowers can save money on interest, which often amounts to a significant expense.
- Shorter repayment period—A shortened repayment period means the payoff will come faster than the original term stated in the mortgage agreement. This results in the borrower paying off the mortgage faster.
- Personal satisfaction—The feeling of emotional well-being that can come with freedom from debt obligations. A debt-free status also empowers borrowers to spend and invest in other areas.
Drawbacks of early repayment
However, extra payments also come at a cost. Borrowers should consider the following factors before paying ahead on a mortgage:
- Possible prepayment penalties—A prepayment penalty is an agreement, most likely explained in a mortgage contract, between a borrower and a mortgage lender that regulates what the borrower is allowed to pay off and when. Penalty amounts are usually expressed as a percent of the outstanding balance at the time of prepayment or a specified number of months of interest. The penalty amount typically decreases with time until it phases out eventually, normally within 5 years. One-time payoff due to home selling is normally exempt from a prepayment penalty.
- Opportunity costs—Paying off a mortgage early may not be ideal since mortgage rates are relatively low compared to other financial rates. For example, paying off a mortgage with a 4% interest rate when a person could potentially make 10% or more by instead investing that money can be a significant opportunity cost.
- Capital locked up in the house—Money put into the house is cash that the borrower cannot spend elsewhere. This may ultimately force a borrower to take out an additional loan if an unexpected need for cash arises.
- Loss of tax deduction—Borrowers in the U.S. can deduct mortgage interest costs from their taxes. Lower interest payments result in less of a deduction. However, only taxpayers who itemize (rather than taking the standard deduction) can take advantage of this benefit.
Brief History of Mortgages in the U.S.
In the early 20th century, buying a home involved saving up a large down payment. Borrowers would have to put 50% down, take out a three or five-year loan, then face a balloon payment at the end of the term.
Only four in ten Americans could afford a home under such conditions. During the Great Depression, one-fourth of homeowners lost their homes.
To remedy this situation, the government created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Fannie Mae in the 1930s to bring liquidity, stability, and affordability to the mortgage market. Both entities helped to bring 30-year mortgages with more modest down payments and universal construction standards.
These programs also helped returning soldiers finance a home after the end of World War II and sparked a construction boom in the following decades. Also, the FHA helped borrowers during harder times, such as the inflation crisis of the 1970s and the drop in energy prices in the 1980s.
By 2001, the homeownership rate had reached a record level of 68.1%.
Government involvement also helped during the 2008 financial crisis. The crisis forced a federal takeover of Fannie Mae as it lost billions amid massive defaults, though it returned to profitability by 2012.
The FHA also offered further help amid the nationwide drop in real estate prices. It stepped in, claiming a higher percentage of mortgages amid backing by the Federal Reserve. This helped to stabilize the housing market by 2013. Today, both entities continue to actively insure millions of single-family homes and other residential properties.
