Patient Safety a Top Priority Amid COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 has had far-reaching impacts on our lives, with medical procedures and surgeries deemed "elective" postponed in order to slow the virus's spread. In reality, these procedures are far from optional: delaying medical interventions can result in increased health problems, such as later-stage cancer diagnoses.
Increased Patient Safety Measures to Combat COVID-19
In recent weeks, we have resumed elective cases and implemented a number of protocols to ensure your safety as you take charge of your health and schedule procedures at our ambulatory surgery centers. These measures include:
- Screening everyone who enters the center for COVID-19 symptoms
- Taking the temperature of every person who enters the center
- Requiring masks for all employees and patients
- Enforcing social distancing guidelines
- Requesting patient escorts remain in the car until patient is ready to go home
- Increasing cleaning of high-touch surfaces throughout the day
- Providing hand sanitizer and tissues
Learn more about all of the steps we are taking to keep you safe.
Patients Feel Safe at our Centers
Patients who have already returned to the centers have first-hand experience of the new protocols in action. Their feedback has been extremely positive, with reactions like:
"During this COVID-19 time, I was especially nervous about my procedure but was immediately greeted by the friendliest nurse around. She was very courteous and kept asking if I was fine. She prepared me for the procedure by carefully doing everything that needed to be done and listened to me. The rest of the staff was also very professional and took great care of my needs. Thank you all for a great experience that I hopefully won't have to repeat for a while." – San Antonio, April 2020
"Even during these crazy times, I was treated with the utmost respect, courtesy, and care. My doctor and her amazing team took the necessary steps to make sure I wasn't put at greater risk during my procedure. They ensured all my questions were answered, and I was 100% ready going into and out of the procedure." – Escondido, April 2020
"Sanitary, safe, NICE and COMPASSIONATE staff!! Thank you SO MUCH to all of my nurses throughout the entire experience!" – Lakeside, AZ, May 2020

About Acupuncture
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
– Thomas Edison
Acupuncture has helped billions of people over the past 5,000 years.
Acupuncture care helps to relieve symptoms and signs of many health problems. It can also uncover the underlying root cause(s) of those symptoms.
The goal of this dynamic and integrated health care system is to activate the natural, self-healing abilities of the body. It can also strengthen and support the body to prevent future illness and disease.
Acupuncture is safe, natural, drug-free and effective. The perfect way to get well and stay healthy.
Here's how it works...
Inside of you is an intelligent, energetic system that maintains health and balance.
Einstein showed us that everything is made of, and radiates energy. This subtle form of energy supports, shapes and enlivens our physical body and activates our lives.
For the past 5,000 years, practitioners of acupuncture have called this intelligent energy Qi (pronounced "chee").
Numerous cultures have described this energy and called it by many names: prana, baraka, pneuma, spirit, wakan, material force, vital force, orgone, ether and ruach.
"Qi is matter on the verge of becoming energy, or energy at the point of materializing."
– Ted Kaptchuck, The Web That Has No Weaver
Qi is the vital energy in all living things, from the tallest tree to the smallest cell.
Qi is a combination of energies, mixed together from our food, air and inherited constitution.
Qi provides the power to accomplish everyday activities. It is necessary for growth, development, movement, maintenance of body temperature, protection against illness and disease, and overall regulation of the body. Our health is influenced by the quality, quantity and balance of Qi.
Ancient practitioners said, "When Qi gathers, the physical body is formed; when Qi disperses, the body passes on."
"Qi is the root of a human being. It is the basis of all phenomena in the universe."
– Giovanni Maciocia, The Foundations of Chinese Medicine
Meridians are like rivers inside the body.
Wherever a river flows, it carries water that provides nourishment and sustenance for life on our planet.
Similarly, meridians are the rivers where Qi flows inside of us.
Qi flows through meridians as an invisible current, energizing, nourishing and supporting every cell, tissue, muscle, organ and gland.
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
– World Health Organization (WHO)
Acupuncture & Your Health
Health is wholeness and balance.
Health is an inner resiliency that allows you to meet the demands of life. Being in a state of health helps you thrive in the face of environmental, physical, emotional and mental stress.
When Qi is balanced and flowing freely, the body's natural self-healing abilities are activated, enabling internal stability and harmony to occur. The body will flourish, and true health and well being can be achieved.
"To live is to have Qi in every part of your body, to die is to be a body without Qi. For in order to be healthy the proper balance of Qi must be obtained; neither too much, nor too little."
– Classic text, Nan-Ching, 5th century B.C.
"Meridians not only feed vital energies to their related organs, they also reflect any pathological disturbance in those organs, thus providing a convenient and highly accurate tool for diagnosis as well as therapy."
–Daniel Reid, Guarding the Three Treasures
The stresses of daily life affect the quality and flow of Qi.
Different stresses affect meridians and organs in different ways, disrupting or blocking Qi flow.
If a garden hose is blocked, it can not provide an adequate supply of water to a plant. Eventually, the plant will be unable to thrive, grow and blossom.
Likewise, a blockage in the meridians will restrict the supply of Qi required to nourish and support the cells, tissues, muscles, organs and glands.
This blockage can manifest into various signs and symptoms. Over time, the body as a whole becomes weakened, and its self-healing abilities compromised. Eventually, it becomes susceptible to pain, disease and ill health.
An acupuncturist views each individual as a dynamic, integrated whole, observing how signs and symptoms weave together in order to understand the underlying, energetic profile of a person's health.
An acupuncturist develops keen diagnostic skills to effectively evaluate the quality, quantity and balance of Qi flowing within the body.
Diagnosis may involve four main techniques:
- Pulse diagnosis - Over 26 subtle variations in the quality of the pulse are felt at six different positions on each wrist.
- Looking - A person's appearance, demeanor and tone of voice, as well as the color, shape and size of the tongue, provide an acupuncturist with vital clues about internal health.
- Asking - By asking questions, information is gathered about past medical history, present health, lifestyle and emotional state.
- Physical examination - Palpation to specific areas and acupuncture points can reveal imbalances.
Once the problem affecting the flow of Qi has been detected and corrected, the intelligent, energetic, self-healing powers within the body begin restoring health and balance to our lives.
Acupuncture Treatments
Acupuncturists use various treatment methods to restore and maintain health.
- Acupuncture - Tiny, disposable, sterile needles placed gently into specific acupuncture points.
- Herbs - Chinese herbal medicine draws from a pharmacopoeia of thousands of herbs for specific conditions.
- Moxibustion - The dried leaf of mugwort is rolled into a stick or placed on the end of needles, then burned as a warming therapy during treatment.
- Oriental nutrition - Specific foods used to strengthen, rebuild and balance the body.
- Qi Gong - Specific movements and breathing exercises used to improve health and vitality.
- Electro-acupuncture - Acupuncture points are stimulated using a safe, gentle, electrical current.
- Acupressure/Tuina - A massage technique that stimulates the meridians, facilitating the flow of Qi.
- Gua Sha - A gentle scraping of the skin surface using a Gua Sha tool to increase circulation of Qi and blood.
- Cupping - Using glass or bamboo cups to create a vacuum in order to increase warmth and circulation.
- Tai Chi - Movement exercises that help develop harmony and balance, and promote maximum health.
Success with Acupuncture
Acupuncturists have experienced clinical success with a variety of health concerns.
Today, acupuncture is receiving wide acceptance as a respected, valid and effective form of health care.
When most people think about acupuncture, they are familiar with its use for pain control. But acupuncture has a proven track record of treating and addressing a variety of endocrine, circulatory and systemic conditions.
Acupuncture and modern medicine, when used together, have the potential to support, strengthen and nurture the body towards health and well-being.
For the western mind, we seek explanations for how and why things work. Over the last few decades, researchers have been seeking to explain how acupuncture works.
Ancient medicine for a modern world.
Acupuncture is safe, natural, drug-free and effective. Here are a few studies:
- Cancer - Evidence suggests that the holistic approach of Traditional Chinese Medicine is effective in the supportive care of cancer patients.
- Fibromyalgia - A study conducted showed that acupuncture, when added to traditional fibromyalgia treatments, reduces pain and improves the quality of a patients life.
- Headaches - Acupuncture produces better relief from migraines and muscle tension headaches than standard drug therapies.
- Depression - Electro-acupuncture can produce the same therapeutic results as drugs, but with fewer side effects and better symptomatic improvement.
- Morning Sickness - A study suggests that acupressure was extremely effective in controlling symptoms of nausea and vomiting, without adverse side effects.
- Asthma - Patients with bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive asthma showed improvements in their health when acupuncture and conventional care are used together.
- Osteoarthritis - Acupuncture produces significant pain relief and improved function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee.
- Fertility - Acupuncture improves the chances of becoming pregnant when used with other reproductive techniques.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), acupuncture has proven effective in the treatment of many common problems:
- Addictions
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Asthma
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chronic fatigue
- Colitis

Acupuncture Facts
Acupuncture Training – There are over 65 acupuncture schools and colleges in the U.S. Currently acupuncture is regulated in 42 states. Acupuncture training programs range from 3-4 years, including an internship.
Acupuncture or Jail? – Acupuncture is used in more than 20 states in over 800 drug dependency programs. Patients who go through these programs have lower re-arrest rates on drug related charges than those not treated with acupuncture. Miami-Dade County drug offenders have the choice of acupuncture or jail.
Referral Rates – According to a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 51% of medical doctors understand the efficacy and value of acupuncture, and refer patients to acupuncturists more than any other alternative care provider.
Acupuncture in War Zones – The U.S. military was introduced to acupuncture during the Vietnam War, when local physicians were allowed to administer acupuncture to Vietnamese patients at a U.S. Army surgical hospital. Most recently, Col. Richard Niemtzow, an Air Force physician began a program in 2001 termed "battlefield acupuncture." Air Force, Navy and Army doctors are taking acupuncture to the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan as part of emergency care in combat and in frontline hospitals.
Scientists and doctors have come up with theories to help explain the benefits of acupuncture.
Neurotransmitter Theory – Acupuncture stimulates the release of specific neurotransmitters that affect immune system function.
Autonomic Nervous System Theory – Acupuncture stimulates the release of norepinephrine, acetylcholine and several types of opioids, affecting changes in the autonomic nervous system, and reducing pain.
Gate Control Theory – Acupuncture activates specific receptors that inhibit the transmission of painful stimuli.
Vascular-Interstitial Theory – Acupuncture affects the electrical system of the body. This facilitates healing by allowing the transfer of material and electrical energy between normal and injured tissues.
Blood Chemistry Theory – Acupuncture can both raise and diminish peripheral blood components, thereby regulating the body toward homeostasis.
Is acupuncture safe?
The simple answer to this question is yes! It has been used for well over 2500 years to help billions of people to get well and stay healthy. All without drugs and surgery. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved acupuncture needles for use by licensed practitioners in 1996. The FDA requires that acupuncturists follow strict safety guidelines and use only sterile, nontoxic needles that are labeled for single use only.
Do acupuncture needles hurt?
Naturally, people associate needle pain with their past experience with hypodermic needles. You can fit close to 10 acupuncture needles inside the tip of one hypodermic needle. Acupuncture needles are tiny, thin and flexible, about the size of a cat's whisker. Once the needles are inserted, some patients may experience a mild tingling or a sensation of fullness, along with an increased sense of relaxation. These are all quite normal and suggest that the treatment is working.
How many treatments will I need?
Each patient is different. The initial phase of the treatment plan is usually between 4-10 visits. The length of treatment depends on how long the condition has been present and how quickly the patient responds to treatment. Generally if a condition is more acute, patients respond faster than if something has been chronic.

Bones, Muscles, and Joints
What Are Bones and What Do They Do?
Bones provide support for our bodies and help form our shape. Although they're very light, bones are strong enough to support our entire weight.
Bones also protect the organs in our bodies. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. The ribs form a cage that shelters the heart and lungs, and the pelvis helps protect the bladder, part of the intestines, and in women, the reproductive organs.
Bones are made up of a framework of a protein called , with a mineral called calcium phosphate that makes the framework hard and strong. Bones store calcium and release some into the bloodstream when it's needed by other parts of the body. The amounts of certain vitamins and minerals that you eat, especially vitamin D and calcium, directly affect how much calcium is stored in the bones.
Bones are made up of two types of bone tissues:
- Compact bone is the solid, hard outside part of the bone. It looks like ivory and is extremely strong. Holes and channels run through it, carrying blood vessels and nerves.
- Cancellous (pronounced: KAN-suh-lus) bone, which looks like a sponge, is inside compact bone. It is made up of a mesh-like network of tiny pieces of bone called trabeculae (pronounced: truh-BEH-kyoo-lee). This is where bone marrow is found.
In this soft bone is where most of the body's blood cells are made. The bone marrow contains stem cells, which produce the body's red blood cells and platelets, and some types of white blood cells. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues, and platelets help with blood clotting when someone has a cut or wound. White blood cells help the body fight infection.
Bones are fastened to other bones by long, fibrous straps called ligaments (pronounced: LIG-uh-mentz). Cartilage (pronounced: KAR-tul-ij), a flexible, rubbery substance in our joints, supports bones and protects them where they rub against each other.
Our bones give our bodies shape, and support and protect our organs and systems.
Click through this slideshow to learn more about bones.
This thin, dense membrane on the surface of the bone contains nerves and blood vessels that help nourish bone tissue.
Compact (Hard) Bone
This type of bone is strong, solid, and whitish in color. It makes up the hard outside portion of a bone.
Cancellous (Spongy) Bone
This type of bone is located inside the compact bone. It looks like a sponge, with bone marrow filling its spaces.
Bone Marrow
The soft bone marrow, which is found inside many bones, makes most of the body's red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
How Do Bones Grow?
The bones of kids and young teens are smaller than those of adults and contain "growing zones" called growth plates. These plates consist of multiplying cartilage cells that grow in length, and then change into hard, mineralized bone. These growth plates are easy to spot on an X-ray. Because girls mature at an earlier age than boys, their growth plates change into hard bone at an earlier age.
Bone-building continues throughout life, as a body constantly renews and reshapes the bones' living tissue. Bone contains three types of cells:
- osteoblasts (pronounced: AHS-tee-uh-blastz), which make new bone and help repair damage
- osteocytes (pronounced: AHS-tee-o-sites), mature bone cells which help continue new born formation
- osteoclasts (pronounced: AHS-tee-o-klasts), which break down bone and help to sculpt and shape it
What Are Muscles and What Do They Do?
Muscles pull on the joints, allowing us to move. They also help the body do such things as chewing food and then moving it through the digestive system.
Even when we sit perfectly still, muscles throughout the body are constantly moving. Muscles help the heart beat, the chest rise and fall during breathing, and blood vessels regulate the pressure and flow of blood. When we smile and talk, muscles help us communicate, and when we exercise, they help us stay physically fit and healthy.
Humans have three different kinds of muscle:
- Skeletal muscle is attached by cord-like tendons to bone, such as in the legs, arms, and face. Skeletal muscles are called striated (pronounced: STRY-ay-ted) because they are made up of fibers that have horizontal stripes when viewed under a microscope. These muscles help hold the skeleton together, give the body shape, and help it with everyday movements (known as voluntary muscles because you can control their movement). They can contract (shorten or tighten) quickly and powerfully, but they tire easily.
- Smooth, or involuntary, muscle is also made of fibers, but this type of muscle looks smooth, not striated. We can't consciously control our smooth muscles; rather, they're controlled by the nervous system automatically (which is why they're also called involuntary). Examples of smooth muscles are the walls of the stomach and intestines, which help break up food and move it through the digestive system. Smooth muscle is also found in the walls of blood vessels, where it squeezes the stream of blood flowing through the vessels to help maintain blood pressure. Smooth muscles take longer to contract than skeletal muscles do, but they can stay contracted for a long time because they don't tire easily.
- Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. The walls of the heart's chambers are composed almost entirely of muscle fibers. Cardiac muscle is also an involuntary type of muscle. Its rhythmic, powerful contractions force blood out of the heart as it beats.
How Do Muscles Work?
The movements your muscles make are coordinated and controlled by the brain and nervous system. The involuntary muscles are controlled by structures deep within the brain and the upper part of the spinal cord called the brain stem. The voluntary muscles are regulated by the parts of the brain known as the cerebral motor cortex and the cerebellum (pronounced: ser-uh-BEL-um).
When you decide to move, the motor cortex sends an electrical signal through the spinal cord and peripheral nerves to the muscles, causing them to contract. The motor cortex on the right side of the brain controls the muscles on the left side of the body and vice versa.
The cerebellum coordinates the muscle movements ordered by the motor cortex. Sensors in the muscles and joints send messages back through peripheral nerves to tell the cerebellum and other parts of the brain where and how the arm or leg is moving and what position it's in. This feedback results in smooth, coordinated motion. If you want to lift your arm, your brain sends a message to the muscles in your arm and you move it. When you run, the messages to the brain are more involved, because many muscles have to work in rhythm.
Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint. Then, when the movement is completed, the flexor relaxes and the extensor contracts to extend or straighten the limb at the same joint. For example, the biceps muscle, in the front of the upper arm, is a flexor, and the triceps, at the back of the upper arm, is an extensor. When you bend at your elbow, the biceps contracts. Then the biceps relaxes and the triceps contracts to straighten the elbow.
What Are Joints and What Do They Do?
Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible.
Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways. Some joints open and close like a hinge (such as knees and elbows), whereas others allow for more complicated movement — a shoulder or hip joint, for example, allows for backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movement.
Joints are classified by their range of movement:
- Immovable, or fibrous, joints don't move. The dome of the skull, for example, is made of bony plates, which move slightly during birth and then fuse together as the skull finishes growing. Between the edges of these plates are links, or joints, of fibrous tissue. Fibrous joints also hold the teeth in the jawbone.
- Partially movable, or cartilaginous (pronounced: kar-tuh-LAH-juh-nus), joints move a little. They are linked by cartilage, as in the spine. Each of the vertebrae in the spine moves in relation to the one above and below it, and together these movements give the spine its flexibility.
- Freely movable, or synovial (pronounced: sih-NO-vee-ul), joints move in many directions. The main joints of the body — such as those found at the hip, shoulders, elbows, knees, wrists, and ankles — are freely movable. They are filled with synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant to help the joints move easily.
Three kinds of freely movable joints play a big part in voluntary movement:
- Hinge joints allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows.
- Pivot joints allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side.
- Ball-and-socket joints allow the greatest freedom of movement. The hips and shoulders have this type of joint, in which the round end of a long bone fits into the hollow of another bone.

A video that caused a sensation in Mexico for using child actors to highlight the country's social and political challenges has been removed from both YouTube and the website of Nuestro Mexico Del Futuro (), the group that produced it.
The short film, titled "Niños Incómodos," found a huge audience immediately after its release. Despite being online for less than one week, it was viewed more than 1.8 million times, as we reported.
After the removal of the video, Our Mexico of the Future did not respond to a request for comment from NPR. The film is still available on the Noticias MVS site's YouTube channel — where it starts at the 41-second mark. MVS journalist Luis Cardenas also discusses the film and the debate it sparked.
The video's title seems to be a takeoff on Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth-- which was released as Una Verdad Incómoda in Spanish-language markets.
And it seems the hyper-realistic "mockumentary" went too far for some Mexican politicians, who complained the filmmakers were irresponsible in using children to portray violence and corruption. In particular, politicians and child welfare groups said the video's producers took advantage of the children when it showed them holding guns and cigarettes, and indulging in lawless behavior.
The push to remove the video came from Mexico's opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and other parties. PRI's presidential candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, is considered the favorite to replace President Felipe Calderón in the July 1 election, in which voters will also elect hundreds of legislators.
Writing at the site La Verdad de Tamaulipas, Luis Lauro Carrillo says that members of the Chamber of Deputies (roughly equivalent to the U.S. House of Representatives) asked Mexico's Interior Ministry to ban the video on the grounds that it violates human rights. Other sites have confirmed that version of events.
The reasons for the video's removal came as a surprise to some observers of Mexican politics, who had assumed it might come under fire for possibly violating rules against political films in an election season. And the origins of the film have been questioned, as well — its backers include insurance giant Grupo Nacional Provinical.
"It's funded by wealthy men," Temple history professor Arthur Schmidt tells The Philadelphia Inquirer, "but it's hard to locate its political viewpoint." One thing left out of the picture, he says, is "the United States, the chief consumer of the drugs, the chief source of the weapons."
Mexican cable news channel Milenio says that when it asked Our Mexico of the Future about the video's removal, a representative said the group had no comment, and that it will now focus on the "visions" for Mexico that the video's audience sent in.
When it was first posted online, the mockumentary's viewers were invited to write or record their own ideas about how to solve Mexico's problems, and send them to the group — which pledged to compile them and send them to the country's leading political parties.
The video ends with a group of children gathering in front of a black backdrop, as a young girl faces the camera to address Mexico's presidential candidates — Nieto, Josefina Vazquez Mota, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and Gabriel Quadri — by their first names.
The girl says in Spanish, "If this is the future waiting for me, I don't want it."
On its website, Our Mexico of the Future claims to have received more than 10.6 million submissions, in which Mexicans discuss how to improve life in their country.

And For That Crowning Touch...
Saturday, November 15, 2008
Which might lead one to question what their "specialty" is. Hmm. Things from Down Under, perhaps? [smirk]
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Gee, Jen, I wish I could see that from another angle and with more color saturation," aren't you? Aha! I knew it. Well, luckily for you, Formica D. also sent in a photo of the exact same cake:
Wow. I don't know about you guys, but seeing that top "pile" in all its glistening glory is greatly grossing me out. Ick.
By the way, given that the displayed goods next to the cake went from ghostly strawberries to turkey cupcakes, just how long do you suppose it's been sitting there? Long enough to attract flies, perhaps?
110 comments | Post a Comment
I don't know what's more distracting: the, ahem, stem or the oddly colored flowers (which seem more appropriate for yesterday's fireworks explosion cake). Or the strawberries (it took me a minute to realize those were the strawberries to which you were referring). Ack! I need to go stare at a blank wall to give my eyes a chance to recover.
Word verification: promo. These are all holiday promos that misses the mark...

They could've been a little more subtle with that "stem". Imagine what a cornucopia could look like in the same decorator's hands!

What is it supposed to *be*, anyway? A cornucopia? Isn't it kind of, well, pointing the wrong direction?
- November 15, 2008 at 9:08 AM
- Judi Hahn said...
Okay, so is that supposed to be a pumpkin, and that gross thing sticking out of the top is the stem? That's the only thing I can figure. Love your BLOG, look at it every day.
- November 15, 2008 at 9:10 AM
- Unknown said...
It's really a shame they had to put a pile of doo-doo on top of this cake, because otherwise, I kind of dig it. I like the technicolor dahlias on the the side.
- November 15, 2008 at 9:19 AM
- Donna M. said...
Amazing, they managed to capture that pumpkin at the exact moment the firecrackers inside exploded!!!
And for added effect, when somebody said "oh sh**", they decided to put that on the cake too!
Now we know why you never carry a pumpkin by the stem.

duh--during the Halloween Season, it was a giant slug and now during Thanksgiving time, it's obviously a cornucopia overturned by a precocious boy...the little rapscallion!

This is awesome, it like a huge orange marshmallow with a big pile of poop on top and yes its been sitting so long its growing colored fungus off to the side, oh wait it that a pumpkin growing flowers... oh woops... hehe i thought it was, ahhh never mind its all the naughty talk that really gets my mind thinking.... lol
- November 15, 2008 at 9:34 AM
OMG...is it possible that this cake was available at more than one store?
and as far as that stem...who says you can't polish a turd? - November 15, 2008 at 9:34 AM

EEEeeewwwwuuuu Glad I ate breakfast already. That is gross. It glistens.
- November 15, 2008 at 9:38 AM

I'm guessing that is supposed to be a pumpkin due to what look to be ghosts surrounding it.
Needs to be a few flies buzzing around it and voila! - November 15, 2008 at 9:39 AM
- Kim said...
Either that cake has been sitting there for so long that the season has changed. Or, they actually sold the first one and made another one.
I'm not sure which one is worse. - November 15, 2008 at 9:45 AM
I stared at the two cakes for a while cause I thought the same thing. I mean who leaves a cake in a window long enough to completely redecorate around it. Then I noticed the icing ridge next to the flower and the peak of...um.."icing" on the "stem" and grasped the truth of it. It's the same.
Maybe they can put some hearts on it for Valentines day. - November 15, 2008 at 9:46 AM
And let me just say, that cake is sitting in a window with a bunch of other edible items, which leads me to believe that the cake is real and not a styrofoam display.
How unfortunate was the person who bought that? Yeesh! - November 15, 2008 at 9:50 AM

Are you sure that it's not the battery cable still attached to the automatic cake froster & it got buried in the cake?
I'm just sayin! - November 15, 2008 at 9:59 AM
- Deborah Godin said...
Before I would even think about serving that cake to anyone, I would have to go get one of those little doggie baggies and scoop up that...pumpkin handle.
Afterthought: the flowers should go in there, too. - November 15, 2008 at 10:03 AM
As I am studying bowel elimination in nursing school right now, all I can see is a large colon on top of the cake, not so much the fecal matter that everyone else sees.

Alright. That's it. First thing on my list tomorrow is a canvas of local grocery cakes. Here in regional Australia, I've seen some real "winners" and I keep forgetting my camera. Since neither Halloween or Thanksgiving are holidays here (though both are catching on, the former because grocery stores are figuring out that Halloween is a great money-maker and the latter because we can't live without pumpkin pie and turkey), we ALREADY have Christmas cakes! That's right! I thought Christmas came earlier every year in the US and then I moved here and Christmas decorations go up in stores at the end of freakin' October! (The toy catalogs actually come out in July so that parents can put things on lay-away!) Our local grocery store bakeries also love their clear gel icing, which is ok in it's place but not when you plan on tipping one cake for display. Then it looks like the inscription is crying. I can't wait to go on Wreck-hunt!

What is so funny is that I was so grossed out that it took me a good minute to determine that was supposed to be a stem. Um, yuck!!!

Talk about a huge fial. Oops fail.
I want to know how many in the Cake Wreck Nation now pack their digie cameras and do a stealthy stroll by the bakery display cases every trip to the grocery store now!
I, for one, am guilty as charged.. :o) - November 15, 2008 at 10:45 AM
The cake decorator obviously doesn't have a terribly juvenile sense of humor which, I think, is necessary to prevent a dookie cake fiasco.

Well...the most I can say is...at least it looks um...shiny? (I was going to go with creamy, but didn't want to induce puking in hte comment section...oh wait...)

That is DEFINITELY the same cake in both pictures...the same bent over -um- "stem"...the same three orange ridges to the right of the 2nd flower from the bottom.
Can we pretend that one photo was taken on Halloween and the other on Nov 1st--let's just say this bakery is really on top of their Thanksgiving decorations--just to make me feel better...it's really grossin' me out. UGH!

Did anyone else notice that the price card appears to be jammed into the stem?
Even if the rest of it wasn't as unfortunate as it is, that would still slow sales, I have no doubt.
Who wants to buy a cake with a slice taken out of the massive shiny colon turd on top? - November 15, 2008 at 12:20 PM

Even without the... erm... stem? the orange sweaty, lumpy, cracked icing is a wreck.

I swear i'm the only one who saw the stem and thought "oh lovely day, I just want the chocolate!!"
yes I DO realize what it looks like.
But I DO realize it's chocolate, and will turn into what it looks like anyway...

What do you expect for 19.95?
Seriously folks, these decorators are allotted all of 15 minutes per cake.
I wonder what kind of cake YOU could produce in that amount of time? - November 15, 2008 at 12:50 PM
When the ghosts came out and the turkeys went in they did an air brush update. That would explain the brighter color on the second cake but the same ridges that John noticed.
Kudos for the great air-brush job. - November 15, 2008 at 12:57 PM

IF by chance it is meant to be a pumpkin, where's the little lines running DOWN the sides of said orange catastrophe? And doesn't the stem of a pumpkin have the same VERTICAL lines?
At first look I thought it was some weird orange like fruit - you know, like an orange, with one dirty great big caterpillar eating its way through said weird orange blob like thing. Of course, if that were the case, and in my defense it does look like some segmented worm/caterpillar type thingy's butt I would have expected the front end to be appearing from somewhere on the orange blob thing.
Of course, the reason I thought that was I never knew pumpkins had flowers and such growing out the side of them ;) - November 15, 2008 at 1:03 PM

But those strawberry-ghost-things were kinda cute, don't you think?
Anyway, that cake looks so disgusting I actually want to eat it. How's that for reversed psychology?

Haha! I actually took a photo of a cake very similar to that at our local grocery store, but since my photo software is on our old computer, I haven't gotten around to hooking it up, and downloading, and then transferring and uploading the photos.
It was smaller, and minus the flowers, but it had the little green vines and the pile-of-poo stem, and to top it off there were little piles of poo with vines decorating the plate around! It just looked all wrong. - November 15, 2008 at 2:24 PM
And to think, what poor soul does buy that wreck will get a mouthful of stale cake. And possibly other stuff. It can't be sanitary when a cake has gone from one holiday to another, untouched.

Perhaps the creator of this....umm, item, wanted to give the impression that the 'flowers' are exploding out of the 'pumpkin'? Could it be a post-modernist comment on the first 'Alien' movie? Or perhaps..............HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sorry, I'm laughing so hard I'm dripping tears all over the keyboard.

since I'm a pro-photographer and all my gear would be well, kinda not so inconspicuous (giant camera, even bigger lens lol), I'd be seen (I've been seen and 'spoken to' by management on more than one occasion, but I'll never leave $5grand of gear in my truck ifyaknowwhatimean) but since I do have my iphone, and although I generally avoid the bakery area of the grocery store, I'm gonna have to start venturing that way in the hopes of finding some pretty nasty cakes. And there are some horrors....
I really do not think that any place like walmart, albertsons, safeway, coles (shoutout to stephanie since I'm an aussie living in the USA), king soopers etc, will ever be exempt from wrecking. Especially since most places like that don't pay the people enough to really care.

I LOVE your blog! When I was first introduced to it I went back through all your archives and looked at every single cake. My favorite is the one where it was supposed to be a really gorgeous William Wallace plaid and it turned into a drunken Rastafarian mess!
Every time I see a cake I wonder if it's the kind you would feature but I never take a picture. And the comedic anecdotes really make your blog special!
Keep it up! I've told everyone about your blog!

I don't even know what it is supposed to be! Most of the time you can at least guess what the intent of the decorator was, but I'm thinking....basket handle? cornucopia? misshapen tree? Surely the intent was not to actually depict what it looks like it is.....

it's so realistic that i can smell it. and that's even grosser..

Hopefully it hasn't been sitting there that long. The scariest thought is that they made more than one of these.

I know the bakery that's from, at least I think I do - at least, the store from which it came. And they reproduce their "specialty" cakes over and over again during the season in which they make them until you're sick unto death of them!! I worked in their bakery myself, actually. And they - GASP! - sold FROZEN bakery items, including the most gorgeous chocolate mousse cake with a huge brittle chocolate ornate fan on top - it was amazing that it came from across the country, in one piece, and lasted months. And every. single. one. looked EXACTLY the same. Hence, my near-certainty that this is the same chain (well, the case, sign, strawberries, turkeys, and poo also) that this is the place I once worked....this isn't 2 pics of the same cake - it's two different cakes....just really, REALLY amazingly wrecktastically same decorating talent...

As for the Halloween/Thanksgiving thing, if the photo was taken in Canada, those two holidays are really close together (both in October). Just saying. - November 15, 2008 at 5:33 PM
- Leah said...
Ok so is it a pumpkin cake (notice in the first picture its next to halloween decorations) or a cornucopia ( in the second picture its next to Thanksgiving stuff) hmmmm? The sad part is it has either been made twice on purpose meaning someone bought this disaster or it has still never been bought since Halloween. LOL
- November 15, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Aside from the rather unfortunate stem (that is what that is, right?) it's not even that bad of a cake. Oddly colored perhaps, but not that bad.
- November 15, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Actually, my first thought was that it was an earthworm, burrowing into the cake. Then, I thought it might be a wilted, flaccid palm tree.

This reminds me of the thing in Hagrid's hut at the end of the third Harry Potter movie. It looks like a giant mealworm or maggot coming out of the pumpkin.
- November 15, 2008 at 10:35 PM
I'm w/ Lisa: where are the vertical lines? *IF* it's a pumpkin, they should be vertical on the pumpkin AND the stem.
If they made it for Halloween...shouldn't it be more of a jack-o-lantern? Maybe that's the plan in case the cake remains another year...to carve out a face by scraping off the....fireworks explosions? - November 15, 2008 at 10:39 PM

It has to be from the same bakery. The same fruit tart is in the bottom left side of the screen.
The turkey cupcakes with the pilgrim hats, is very American. Canadian celebrate Thanksgiving but we don't have any historical events involving pilgrims or natives to go with it.
Is that a fly holding the card in place on top of the turd worm?
I have to stop obsessing about this cake.

jackie31337, that would actually be kind of neat: a cake done like a tide pool, with light cocoa frosting to suggest light brown rocks, white chocolate barnacles, and a concave top in which lurk tiny buttercream sea anemones and chocolate shellfish.

You fools! It is not a pile of poop...
...but a veiny tentacle of a Lovecraftian horror -- maybe a Chtonian -- pushing out of the pumpkin, now that the stars are right.
And then you will wish that it would be just poop.
Put on your mad cultist robe, and start chanting "Ia! Ia! Chthulhu fhtagn!" and hope that the Great Tentacled One has mercy on you, and you will be eaten first. - November 17, 2008 at 3:08 AM

Ya'll are missing out one of the best parts; in the first picture there is a cake in the background at least as worthy of notice. Looks like chocolate twinkies standing on end all around a pool of white frosting. Truly this bakery is a mecca for wreck hounds. And the strawberries! I thought they were fruit covered in mold. How special!!

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.
