How to Liven Up Mother's Day
Thursday, May 7, 2009
I would say this baker got down to the heart of the matter, but that would be hitting above the belt. [smirk]
Oh, dear. You know, I've never watched the movie, but from the tiny bit I saw here I'm starting to wonder if this is really the best choice for a cake, on Mother's Day or ANY day.* Yikes. And why "Mommies"? Do two Moms get to share this psychotic little treat?
Here's a bakery that really knows the best way to honor Mom: by eating her face!
At least they provide lots of options to choose from, though, thereby increasing your odds of finding a Mommy Head that "looks just like her!" Woo woo!
Alison J. and Kelly D., I think for fun I'm going to get a head that looks as UNlike Mom as possible. Then I'll tell her I brought in a picture of her for the bakery to match, and act like I think they did a fab job. :)
*Actually, I looked it up, and this is listed as a "christening cake". Wow. Somehow, I think that makes it worse...

Just what I always dreamed of, a female anatomy cake! I would love to see the male version...
- May 7, 2009 at 9:31 AM
I don't get why the baby is on/in Louis Vuitton luggage? Is that part of the joke? Maybe aborted infants get a Chanel bag?
- May 7, 2009 at 9:33 AM
The 2nd cake is basically an anti-choice statement in pastry form. I assume it was a party for multiple moms/babies and that the person who ordered the cake thought that the most festive and important thing to say tp the mom was, "Thanks for not having an abortion."
- May 7, 2009 at 9:33 AM
Am I the only one who saw the wire coat hanger and thought it was an anti-abortion cake?

Sweet chocolate uterus!
- May 7, 2009 at 9:36 AM
The coat hanger symbol is actually generally a pro-choice symbol (ie, allow safe abortions so no one has to resort to this)... still can't figure out what the hell the cake as a whole means though!
- May 7, 2009 at 9:40 AM
Mmmmm. Uterus cake. Appetizing? Not likely!

an ovaries cake, seriously? perhaps i shouldn't be surprised...
the mommies dearest cake is creepy to its very own degree.
as for the head cakes...i'm still laughing at the "dear caught in headlight" eyes. (not quite the same as "doe eyes" ya know?) - May 7, 2009 at 9:43 AM

"...increasing your odds of finding a Mommy Head that 'looks just like her!' Woo woo!"
Yeah, thank god my mom looks like Wilma Flintstone on Quaaludes, so the cake with the red hair and wide green eyes will work perfectly. - May 7, 2009 at 9:43 AM
- Jessica said...
I totally thought the Mommy Dearest cake was more of a "thanks for not aborting me with a coathanger!"

As a mom, I'm not sure how I'd feel if I had either of these presented for Mother's Day. I'd rather have the hairy earred Yoda.

Second cake...classic line from a classic movie but oh my! In CAKE for any occassion?!?!?! I don't think a line of anger and abuse is exactly a line that should be on cake.
- May 7, 2009 at 9:45 AM
- Reverend Ramona said...
Oh, and I can see where folks might take the coat hanger cake as an anti-abortion cake, but I think it's a reference to "No wire hangers! EVER!" from the movie Mommie Dearest. Creepy cake, whatever the meaning, though.

had to take my niece for her first "appointment" yesterday....could've got that first cake to celebrate..."Happy Pap Day!"
- May 7, 2009 at 9:46 AM
- ck said...
I especially like the sprinkles on the uterus cake. I mean, a plain uterus is simply not festive enough!
And the posters who are misinterpreting the 2nd cake have obviously missed the pop culture reference of "NO WIRE HANGERS!!!!!" Coupled with the "Mommie(s) Dearest" reference its hard to miss if you know your Hollywood Legends. - May 7, 2009 at 9:46 AM
I hope I get a female reproductive system cake for Mother's Day. Nothing says love like a sugary depiction of a uterus and ovaries.
- May 7, 2009 at 9:47 AM
- Megan said...
Anon-- that was my first thought too, but then I remembered the "No wire hangers ever" scene in Mommy Dearest.
So now I'm extra confused. - May 7, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Cake #2 is not about abortion! The wire hanger scene is from Mommie Dearest, the movie (and maybe the book too, I haven't read it.)
Sometimes my mom and I joke about her being "Mommie Dearest" (she's no where near it, but has a good sense of humor,) but I don't think I'd ever get her that cake. I would, however, spring for the female anatomy cake. I love that! - May 7, 2009 at 9:50 AM
- Charlene said...
The first one made me howl in laughter.
But the second one...if I'd received that the buyer would have had a face full of cake *and* a face full of fist at the same time. - May 7, 2009 at 9:50 AM
Lots of people have 2 mommies. That means sharing a cake or getting 2 different ones for Mother's Day. Sometimes you might have a Mama and a Mommy, but Mommies is probably easiest.
- May 7, 2009 at 9:52 AM
I love the first cake. Hysterical. The 2nd cake is ignorant at best. Although I personally enjoy the irony of anti-choice-ers cutting up & eating a "baby".
- May 7, 2009 at 9:53 AM
- StuffCooksWant said...
Those are some wrecks!
The anti-abortion cake... nice coat hanger. Really classy. For an anti-abortion cake. I've totally seen better anti-abortion cakes though. - May 7, 2009 at 9:54 AM
- Charlene said...
My annoyance at a second cake is ABOUT it being about Mommie Dearest. Ha ha, child abuse. I would be really insulted.

Mommie Dearest or Anti-Abortion - either way, that's pretty f-ed up!!

Why is the baby in a purse? Looks like she's going to carry her baby around in her purse like a chihuahua.

I actually pulled up CW to brighten my mood before a conference call. First words out of my mouth? "Oh, disgusting!"

are those ovaries producing... sprinkles?!?!
- May 7, 2009 at 9:58 AM
I also thought the hanger cake had to do with abortions...the LV handbag the baby is laying on also threw me for a loop...no abortions = designer handbags???
- May 7, 2009 at 9:59 AM
- Tracy O said...
Let's not get this into a political or moral debate, here - that cake has NOTHING to do with abortion - check Jen's link to the movie - "no wire hangers, ever!" is a famous line from Mommie Dearest about how to hang up your clothes (designer bag tie-in here)! - and in saying that, the cake is creepy in its own right as the movie is about how the mentally deranged Mommie abused her adopted child so why make a cake about that? Abortion cake - not, child abuse cake - OK.
Soap box - off... - May 7, 2009 at 10:00 AM

Anti-abortion or not... it's just a great work of art.

There is no way I'd want the anatomy cake. My kids would fight ovey who got to eat the ovaries and who got to eat the uterus and all the fighting would ruin my whole mother's day.
- May 7, 2009 at 10:05 AM
- Erin said...
ok...so I haven't watched mommy dearest but I went and looked it up since it seems cake 2 is a reference to that and not some sort of abortion reference.
Either way it's too confusing. Are they saying keep abortion legal to avoid hangers but have the baby, see this one is cute?
or is it a ref to mommy dearest despite the baby being a BABY not a child and if you were going to make a ref to the movie scene, wouldn't you do better with a dress ON a wire hanger, not a no wire hangers sign ON a baby?
what on earth was this for?!?!?! - May 7, 2009 at 10:08 AM
- Erin said...
So, did anyone else see a steer's head in the first cake? it took me a minute to see it, ahem..properly. and then I couldn't believe that's what i was seeing and it took me a minute more to really believe my eyes. INTERNAL ANATOMY SHOULD NOT BE IN CAKE FORM! EVER!

Deeply creepy........
- May 7, 2009 at 10:08 AM
- Trevor said...
I'm curious if Jen actually knows is the coat hanger is a Mommie Dearest movie reference or a "thanks for not aborting me" reference. It could be either, honestly.
But, here's what I really don't get about the cake. The baby is in a Loius Vuitton bag. Why? Secondly, the graphic on the t-shirt looks HORRIBLE compared to the rest of the cake. It looks to me like someone went in after the fact maybe and added it.
The first cake? I'm not even going there. Hell, I'm so niave,I couldn't figure out what it was at first. - May 7, 2009 at 10:11 AM
- Momof4 said...
I, too, saw an abortion message instead of a Mommie Dearest reference in the 2nd cake. I'm sure it was unintentional, but it was poorly thought out. Really tasteless.
- May 7, 2009 at 10:11 AM
Uuummmmm - given my choice, I'd skip dessert.
These are just disturbing on waaaay too many levels to really comment. - May 7, 2009 at 10:12 AM
My jaw dropped when I saw the ovary cake! I can't believe it.

- Karen Elmquist said...
Mmmm, uterus + sprinkles = cakey goodness!
2nd cake? Speechless. brain ...is...confused... - May 7, 2009 at 10:18 AM
NO, the hanger is NOT a reference to abortion! It's something from the movie "Mommie Dearest."
- May 7, 2009 at 10:18 AM
Ah, thank you Cake Wrecks commenters for solving the mystery (to me) of the wire hanger. The Mommie Dearest reference sounds correct, even if it still looks odd.
Anyone else have flashbacks to the U Texas Longhorns cake when he/she looked at the ovary cake? You know you've been reading CW too long when the first thing you think of when you look at a part of anatomy is, "Oh, remember that wrecked sports / school logo?"
And the mommy head cakes remind me of a traumatic experience as a tot trying to replace a doll I got for Christmas that broke upon opening the box (IIRC the head popped off). I threw a hissy fit until my poor mom found the last one that could kind of sort of look like me (yeah, I was quite the narcissist at age 3, but I'm over that now ;)). I'm willing to be she still remembers that and would enjoy giving me one of these cakes when/if I celebrate a Mother's Day of my own. - May 7, 2009 at 10:20 AM
- Unknown said...
I am cracking up at everyone misunderstanding the wire hanger reference. That's a CLASSIC movie line!
And I guess while they were all looking at the hanger, I was trying to figure out the alien arms around the baby... until I realized it was handles to the LV bag. - May 7, 2009 at 10:20 AM

the man-nurse said...
It's an ironic statement on American obstetrics that natural births don't lend themselves as well to kitchen cutlery! ;)
I like the plastic baby inside. Too bad there's no way to cake-ify a uterus (which seems like it would be easy) and intestines (which seems not so easy) for ob/gyn students or something.
Wait, were they forceps or salad tongs?

That first one, um. Is that what I unfortunately imagined it to be as soon as I saw it?
I thought it was just "Mommie Dearest" (decorator, get the title right, would ya, sheesh) and Joan Crawford is Scary (Faye Dunaway did a good job if you ask me). Of course I said the famous line out loud as soon as I saw the pic: "No More Wire Hangers!!!!"
Run child RUN!
Wait, you noted that it's possibly a Christening Cake? No. Please. NO.

And I want sprinkles. Lots and lots of sprinkles. - May 7, 2009 at 10:42 AM

I'm glad I'm not the only person who, at first glance, thought that the second cake was making some type of pro-life statement. Don't WORRY, pop-culture posters, I got the reference quickly after!

Maybe the Mommies are a lesbian couple?

Could it be that the second cake was supposed to have an apostrophe, and actually referred to the baby itself, as in the baby is "Mommie's Dearest"? Very very creepy!

That reproductive system cake is a RIOT!! It's actually accurate enough to use to have "the talk" with my 9 year old daughter - how better to open a discussion than with cake!

Glad to see I'm not alone in thinking the "No hanger" sign was an anti-abortion statement. Granted, there's a lot that cake is screaming at us.
Whatever it was, I'm sure it tasted like sugary inappropriateness. - May 7, 2009 at 11:19 AM

I figured the second cake was for a same-sex couple. That would explain the plural "Mommies".

Is the handbag from the 2nd cake a reference to "The Importance of Being Earnest"?
- May 7, 2009 at 11:41 AM
Ew. Just ew.
I cannot think of an event in which internal organs are a sensible choice for a cake (well, except that surgeon's convention, but even still...couldn't you do something clever with a gurney or some gauze?)
The second one? I at first thought of the totally tasteless option, too -- but even the movie tie-in is bizarre, and pretty tasteless. Wow, glad you're my moms, even if one or both of you are mentally ill, egomaniacal, alcoholic child abusers! Woo. Now THERE's a warm and fuzzy sentiment for ya.
The real tragedy is that it's a well-done cake -- and would be considered as anything BUT a wreck if it didn't have that ill-advised hanger on it. - May 7, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Like many others I thought the second cake was making an abortion statement.
And I'd just like to say "Mommie Dearest" is a good movie in the same vein as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" If you didn't get enough stress in between work, people with road rage, and swine flu then either movie should keep you properly rattled for an hour or so. Guess it's what my old film professor would call "a hard watch". - May 7, 2009 at 11:43 AM
Coat hanger? I thought the thing on the symbol on the second cake was a poorly-drawn depiction of male genitalia and it was celebrating a lesbian couples' adoption. Regardless, the cake's ugly.
The uterus cake, though ... AAAAAAAAAARGH! NOOOOOOO! DO NOT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT! - May 7, 2009 at 11:45 AM
When I saw all the mommy face cakes I couldn't help singing "Red and yellow black and white, They are precious in His sight." It's so funny to me that they made them all races and hair colours but they're all "Labeled" Yellow!

If you squint you can pretend the reproduction cake is actually just a colorful steer head.

@ TracyO - trust me food causes a bit of a distraction! When our sixth grade class had to watch the video about reproduction the mother made pancakes for her daughter in the shape of a uterus and ovaries and was explaining the whole process over a steaming griddle. We all laughed so hard we completely missed the gist of the film. Of course this was back in the 80's so maybe today's kids are better equipped to make the reproduction/food link.

Geez people, if you'd read Jen's commentary, you'd know what the cake was about (and really, if you're skipping the commentary, then you're missing the best part of this blog). If you'd read some dang comments, you'd know what the cake was about. Everyone's so click happy to comment, lol! It's definitely NOT an anti-abortion cake.

As I scrolled down, I saw a cake with a baby, with a "no" sign over a hanger, and immediately thought it was some crazy anti-abortion message. Then I got down to the inscription and realized it was a reference to Joan Crawford.
But that's not really better: it references a scene where a mother brutally beats a kid of about seven with a wire coathanger. Happy Mother's Day!
Also, as others said, baby (not a child even remotely resembling Christina Crawford) + no-hanger sign + luggage = Christening cake? Whaaa? - May 7, 2009 at 12:09 PM
- Christa said...
oh gosh... I just noticed the "ridge detail" in the uhm...special area of the first cake...way way way way WAY too much! I can't believe it!
oh and now I see the "no wire hangers" reference...but it is all confusing with the bag and it being a baby and I'm just still nost sure that's what they actually meant...maybe it's a play on, ya know like "oh that's a great concept for an anti-abortion cake." Even thought it's not. - May 7, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Actually, the "no coat hanger" symbol represents pro-choice, not anti-abortion. But nobody in their right mind would put that symbol on a christening cake if they knew that so it must just be a reference to the movie instead. Either way, it's in very bad taste.

I thought the second cake was about abortion at first, and then I saw the comments about the movie. I'm not quite sure what meaning to take from it now, but either way it's inaprops and tacky and wrong on so many levels.

Whoever ordered, made and paid for #2 should be stabbed repeatedly with a wire coat hanger while someone screams "No wire hangers ever!"

Whether it's anti-choice or about child abuse, that is one passive aggressive (and CREEPY) cake! The only salvation that cake could have is if it were a very, very inside joke.

- Redheaded Wonder said...
Has NO ONE seen Mommy Dearest??? As in "No. Wire. Hangers. EVAHHHH!!!!!" And that line has become a pop culture joke for a very overacted scene. Not the universal slogan for child abuse.
C'mon people, does everything have to be twisted around into something politcal??? Seriously.
Do you think we can all lighten up here? Please? It is just cake. And silly cake at that. I don't think Jen is secretly trying to brainwash us.
As for the first work of art, MY EYES!!! THEY BURN!!!!

I dunno... the uterus cake kind of grabs me - you know - in a maternal way. Is it the cute yellow ovaries? The sweet pink fallopian tubes? The copious sprinkles that look like wayward sperm? The ridged vag... vag... vag... nevermind! I guess it's the whole concept. So lovingly iced and tasty looking.
- May 7, 2009 at 12:49 PM
I didn't see a Mommy Dearest reference in the second cake, I saw an anti-choice cake. I don't think it makes it any better of a cake. A cake seems a tacky place to make such a statement, right?
- May 7, 2009 at 12:56 PM
- sapna said...
Clarity on the coat hanger cake:
1) There is a wire coat hanger reference in the movie "Mommy Dearest" that has nothing to do with abortion when the mom screams "No wire coat hangers, ever!" and goes into a psychotic rage. It is probably the films most famous scene
2) The coat hanger with the slash through it is a PRO-CHOICE statement, often accompanied by the slogan "Keep abortion safe and legal." Meaning, as pro-lifers make it more and more difficult and taboo to get an abortion, women are turning to dangerous "home remedies" like using a coat hanger to perform the abortion themselves. - May 7, 2009 at 1:02 PM
Maybe my family is totally nuts, but my mother would laugh hysterically at the Mommie Dearest cake. No, child abuse isn't funny, but that movie is unintentionally hilarious (or is it intentional?), and we used to watch it all the time. The "no wire hangers!" symbol on the baby is killing me, and for some reason, the fact that it's an LV bag also amuses me. Love it.

And the "Mommie Dearest" cake creeps me out. Well, I think the baby is cute, and even the suitcase is a little quirky, but the hanger is what puts it on the fast track to Creepyland. - May 7, 2009 at 1:10 PM

To the people complaining about people seeing the "thanks for not aborting me" message in the 2nd cake... Yes, we *know* it's not about abortion. We *know* it's about the movie Mommie Dearest. The point is, the illustration leaves itself open to the obvious allusion to abortion, thus making the cake a totally tasteless wreck on multiple levels.
- May 7, 2009 at 1:24 PM
I never imagined something made of sugar could be so...tasteless.
Actually folks, it's a pro-legal abortion symbol (worth adding: it's based on perjured court testimony, the premise of which has been debunked by at least two high-ranking insiders). I imagine the person the cake was intended for got the reference, but anywhere else this would be a pretty major gaffe. - May 7, 2009 at 1:33 PM

The uterus cake seems more appropriate for a mother to give her child/ren. Instead of I <3 you, it says I uterus you... like I conceived you, gestated you and gave birth to you and if that doesn't say love, I don't know what does.
But it doesn't really work for adopted children.
And there has to be a cake for moms with their tubes tied and some blank ones for moms who have had a hysterectomy.
Or maybe a uterus with a big red circle around it and a line through it... that would work for adoptive mothers AND mothers who have had hysterectomies! - May 7, 2009 at 1:39 PM

What's the meaning behind the baby on the luggage ? Babies are stashed with your bags and not suitable passengers
- May 7, 2009 at 1:48 PM
I agree with the comment suggesting the second cake is missing an apostrophe - as in "mommie's dearest" things are her baby and her designer purse. The coat hanger is a tacky tie in to the play on words of the movie title. Tacky all around!
- May 7, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Clearly, they decided to write "Mommies Dearest" on the cake and then, in an attempt to be funny, they added the "no wire hangers" thing from the movie. But it's still weird, creepy, tasteless, etc., and could be misunderstood very easily...That's why it's a Cake Wreck, folks!
- May 7, 2009 at 2:11 PM
I can't comprehend why people would make cakes like this. Though my mom IS an OBGYN, so I suppose I could maybe, maybe, get away with the first one. But I wouldn't want to take my chances.
- May 7, 2009 at 2:15 PM
Joan Crawford would beat her daughter if she hung her clothes on wire hangers, screaming "No Wire Hangers." So the phrase has come to be synonymous with mean Mommie Dearest, which is what Joan insisted Christina call her. And I find the use of the term "anti-choice" very interesting. If aborted, the baby obviously has no choice in the matter..........I find anti-life much more accurate.

Have fun with that!
I can see it /hear it now (as the girl half-listens while her eyes wander hungrily over the cake):
"Uterus thing, tubes things--Yeah, Mom. OKAY, Mom. I GET it, Mom!
Now, can I PLEASE have an ovary???" - May 7, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- Anthrophile said...
If the second cake is for a same sex couple, it could conceivably be referring to adoption, what with that bag?
I saw the movie and read the book and I still thought "abortion." Having the movie reference back in my brain isn't changing that. I'm seeing it as an intricate twist USING the movie line to make an anti abortion statement...
(To other posters who noted this: yeah, an apostrophe in "mommie's" would make it cleverer, I think.)
Whatevs, I'm still cringing.
(I've no real objections to cakes 1 and 2. But they do make me laugh.) - May 7, 2009 at 2:36 PM
OMG. No WIRE HANGERS EVER. And "Mommie Dearest" on the cake. It's referencing the movie Mommie Dearest about Joan Crawford. Not abortion. Good golly. Maybe it's a generational thing, I don't know. But I'm always amazed at the number of people who don't get cultural references (The Godfather, Mommie Dearest....)
My mom would totally crack up at that cake. I've been known to call her 'Mommie Dearest' when doing work for her, albeit in a funny way. She knows I'm joking, just like when I call her the Anal Retentive Chef (old Phil Hartman/SNL character people). But then again, she has a sense of humor. - May 7, 2009 at 2:40 PM

The first cake reminded me of the Chicago Bulls logo until I realized that it wasn't. - May 7, 2009 at 2:48 PM
The horrible mother - the one who would scream at a child about using the wrong hangers - made the choice not to keep the child. Instead of aborting the baby, she delivered her (in a LV bag, no less) to a lovely lesbian couple, who adopted her. And now they celebrate with cake.

Woah -- the first one is half woman's reproductive organs, half Texan Longhorn logo; the second one is not only offensive, but who tf would want to eat that? I am glad the kid knew well enough that it wasn't aborted and could thank its multiple mommies for the favor.

-Julie - May 7, 2009 at 5:02 PM
You guys.
"Mommie Dearest" came out in 1981.
Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973.
The red slash/wire hanger symbol was used as a powerful "never again" symbol of back-alley abortions during the fight for reproductive freedom.
I see that the symbol is now printed on T-shirts along with the famous movie line, but its first and most important use was during the fight for choice.
(Man, I feel old now.) - May 7, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Cake 1 is making me have a flashback to Blossom! Witness the cake decorating, period explaining Phylicia Rashad
It starts around 1:00 in
As for cake 2, the less I think it about, the better. - May 7, 2009 at 5:08 PM
I would like to hereby state that I am more than just a uterus. And that my duties to my daughter actually truly began when she was born. And if she gets me a uterus cake, I may throw it at her. Especially with the sprinkles acting like...something.
As for cake #2. It could be either Mommies or Mommie's. And while the coat hanger, either way it was meant, is just ridiculous, it's the bag that gets me. Huh? Is it supposed to actually read :I love Mommie's Darlings? What. I got nothing here.
And I, too, found my beloved mother's head. And I am simply never, ever going to eat it. 'Cause, ew. Just...ew. - May 7, 2009 at 5:13 PM
- Justin Lockwood said...
They were apparently trying to tie in with the "Mommie Dearest" legend by having a "no wire hangers ever" symbol, but the first thing I thought of-- and you all agree, too-- was a coat hanger abortion, which is a totally disturbing and inappropriate image for a baby cake.
- May 7, 2009 at 5:30 PM
The coat hanger thing makes a tad more sense after watching the youtube vid that Jen linked to.
But I must admit that at first glance I thought it was some sort of sick abortion reference on a cake! Ewwwwwww. - May 7, 2009 at 5:49 PM

Nancy, I too thought it was a Chicago Bulls logo. So you were clearly not the only one....Now, the notion of ovaries on a bull just makes me think of one of my co-workers, to whom we refer as "t-ts on a bull" for his general level of usefulness.
Leaving aside the politics of the 2nd cake, the bit that blew my mind was the freakin' HANDBAG. Is this a stork reference--and what self-respecting stork can afford to deliver babies in Louis Vuitton bags?
The confusion...it burns. - May 7, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Am I the only one who saw Mommie Dearest that is what the "no more wire hangers" baby cake is refering to!
Jen - May 7, 2009 at 8:46 PM
A uterus with sparkly sprinkles. Hmmm.
I did not notice the coat hanger reference on cake #2 because I was busy trying to figure out the handles on that bag: some kind of freaky tail? a bizarre arm? When I did finally notice it was a bag, I wasn't done figuring: Why is the baby ON TOP of the bag, not in it? Why is the bag there at all? - May 7, 2009 at 8:49 PM
Anti-abortion, a movie reference, Luis Vuitton, and lesbian parents all in one cake? I have to say, they do get points for creativity.
- May 7, 2009 at 8:58 PM
#1 - Even though I'm a proud owner of a set of them, I always thought ovaries and fallopian tubes look like monster/alien hands grabbing at things.
#2 - I totally took it as thanks for not aborting me in a back alley with a rusty hanger, Mom! I guess from a group of people? Or a two mom family? - May 7, 2009 at 9:17 PM

the 'no wire hangers' is too funny.
Whenever my friends and I joke about parenting, we always bring up the wire hangers from Mommy Dearest. That movie is, I think, an anti-Mother's Day movie lol - May 7, 2009 at 11:50 PM
The wire hanger has been associated with PRO-CHOICE, and not anti-abortion. The symbol means to keep abortion legal so women don't resort to a hanger.
But, I like the Mommie Dearest reference. Mommie Dearest was a classic! - May 7, 2009 at 11:56 PM
- Jess said...
You know, as an infertile, I really like that first cake. It's just the kind of sarcasm I'd have appreciated before we had the kids!
I assumed that the coat hanger thing was a reference to Mommy Dearest, not abortion? Just a guess. And why can't "mommies" be lesbians? That seems obvious to me...after all, otherwise wouldn't it say "we"? Also, it could be birthmommy and mommy. I'm the first to jump to that conclusion, though I'm not sure the whole cake screams that as a likely possibility. - May 8, 2009 at 12:03 AM

I think the second one is thanking 1) birth mother for not aborting AND 2) non-birth-mother for adopting. Though why they would be together on Mother's Day to receive the cake, I have no idea.
You should do a wrecks post on bag cakes. I've seen some hideous ones, like the Louis Vuitton in that cake. - May 8, 2009 at 2:39 AM

I would actually get the Mommie Dearest cake for my mother (who'd probably love it - although she'd want to correct the extraneous 's'). XD She and I both love that movie, and make a lot of joking references to it that are doubtless in terrible taste but that's the fun of then.
And of course on my next birthday she'd retaliate with a The Bad Seed cake... maybe the little blond girl sitting on a pink electric chair? - May 8, 2009 at 3:02 AM
- the new world said...
Even if the second cake is supposed to be a reference to that movie, the wire hangers emblem is really misleading.. I used to have a pro-choice button that looked identical to that (a hanger crossed out) so people can be forgiven for mistaking it for an abortion reference. Wouldn't there be a better way to reference the movie without making an ambiguous abortion statement?
- May 8, 2009 at 3:05 AM
- the new world said...
Also -- to all the commenters -- why don't you actually read Jen's posts and click on the links she includes with the posts? She already knows about the Mommie Dearest reference; that's why she LINKED to it IN THE POST. Sorry to yell, but so many of you are saying "Hmm, I wonder if Jen knows that's a reference to Mommie Dearest?" and "Thanks to the commenters for explaining the second cake to me!"
I don't read the comments to every post, but it seems like this is Epcot all over again... Is the comments section always so oblivious to what Jen actually wrote? She's pretty smart; I'm guessing she gets the references in 99.9% of the cakes she writes about, and if there's a reference she doesn't recognize, there's this thing called Google that I'm sure she uses regularly. I don't know why people automatically assume she's totally clueless about everything.
(/getting down off soapbox) - May 8, 2009 at 3:13 AM

I admit the first cake made me laugh - maybe not to eveyone's taste, but if it was a mothers day cake presumably whoever ordered it knew their mother would be entertained!
The second one - I've never seen Mommie dearest so didn't get that reference - I thought of Lady Bracknell and 'A HAAAAAANDBAG'..
having seen the link for the movie I'm now guessing this was a tongue-in-cheek thing - some in-joke for the people concerned.
I actually find the severed heads most disturbing.. - May 8, 2009 at 6:43 AM
Okay, I'm going to say this: I would rather have an overiced, crappy cupcake cake than a cake with a full female reproductive system on it. Yargh!!

Ohhhhh the wire coat hangers=Mommie Dearest! I love that movie, but totally missed the No More Wire Hangers reference...I too thought it was abortion...at first glance I thought it was the Ghostbusters ghost wearing a NO symbol, then I thought it was a no smoking symbol, then I thought it was a choking hazard symbol so baby can't get strangled by a hanger.
As for "Mommies"Dearest, maybe they are a gay couple? I dunno. - May 8, 2009 at 3:09 PM
I love the uterus cake! It could be worse... maybe an endometriosis cake, or a ovarian cyst cake, or a hysterectomy cake (well, that one would probably look the same, but with a circle and a slash). Maybe we'll get a diagram of the male (internal) sexual anatomy. A piece of vas deferens for everyone!

I swore off reading comments after the Epcot controversy (which was entertaining yet tiresome), but I was hoping someone would have an answer about why the hanger baby is in a handbag. Instead, it's Pop Culture Knowledge Wars Part II in here! I guess I'll jump into the fray: I agree the cake is most likely referring to the movie, but without the text there is more evidence for it to point to a statement about abortion. Either way, it's as spectacularly wrecky and tasteless as you can possibly get!
- May 8, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Yanno, the more I think about it, the more weird that 'christening cake' gets. Here we are to dedicate this child to God, to make them a member of the church...and mom's LV handbag ranks right up there next to the infant???? Is that materialistic or what? That would bother me far more (as a statement about me) than would the uterine cake.

Re: Cake #2I can actually see this cake being both a reference to Mommie Dearest and to abortion (whether pro-choice or anti-choice, I honestly can't tell). Is there some rule that states that the two references can't be incorporated together in pastry form? I see pro-choice T-shirts with the iconic quote "No More Wire Hangers," so obviously SOMEBODY is tying the two together.
It's the Louis Vuitton bag that's totally throwing me, though.
@Angela:Might I offer some advice to you? If you think the commenters here are so stupid, perhaps you should not read the comments. Just an idea, of course. - May 9, 2009 at 4:37 PM
OMGOSH! I love the 'no wire hangars' cake. Too funny! I *loved* that movie when I was a little girl. However, even to this day, when I hang my husbands pants on wire hangars, I always think "NO WIRE HANGARS... EVER!"

in a sick humor kind of way. - May 10, 2009 at 11:24 PM

Could the wire hanger be in reference to the Movie? Since she has her freak out moment over wire hangers? Ok I see others thought that too. I think that has to be why it is there. However I still think that the cake is just creepy. Especially the Louis Vuitton print on the bag. It makes no sense at all.

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.

Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 250 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' interest in children's books has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books—even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.
Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.

7 Days
My diary
Day 1: Friday, March 11, 2011
I had the day off from work. It was a beautiful day out. The only thing I had to do today was file my Japanese taxes in Shibuya, so I skated over there in the morning. It was a little tedious, but I got it done. I had the rest of the day ahead of me, so I decided to check out the photo book library at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Ebisu. My friend Naoyuki met me there. The reason why I wanted to go was to find a book that someone recommended to me called Namaiki by Kishin Shinoyama which was banned in Japan for showing sexy photos of underage girls. Namaiki turned out to be a compilation of various shoots that he did with various young idols and models for magazines. The youngest girl looked like she was nine. From a moral standpoint, it looked so wrong, but from a photographic one, it was great- racy, beautiful, and made you feel guilty all at the same time.
After Naoyuki and I got ready to leave, we heard an emergency bell, but had no idea what it was for. The workers around us also seemed confused. All of the sudden, the building began to shake – violently shake – and then shake some more… and more… Naoyuki and I kept looking at each other amazed that it wouldn't stop. After about two or three minutes, things started to settle, and we were evacuated from the museum building.
Outside there were tons of people looking up. I went over to them, and looked up as well. I couldn't see what they were looking at first, but then I realized that the tall skyscraper in front of me was swaying back and forth. We decided to walk around and see what was happening. There was no damage anywhere. All these business people were out since we were in the business district, and they seemed to be enjoying an excuse to not be working. It almost seemed like a party. Some of them had helmets on, which made me wonder, "How can you wear a helmet without guilt when everyone else isn't?" Naoyuki checked Twitter on his iPhone which was the only thing working at the time, which reported that there was a big earthquake in Miyagi.
Later we saw many people in the park, so we went over to check it out. It still seemed like everyone was having fun (except for one woman who was crying), until the earth shook again under our feet. Ten minutes later it shook quite heavily again and people started to freak out a bit. After things settled down again, we decided to split but before leaving Naoyuki went to the bathroom. I was waiting outside and noticed how beautiful the sun was pouring down on everyone, so I raised my point and shoot camera up over my head and started taking photos of people. All of a sudden, a businessman grabbed my arm and said in Japanese angrily said, "What are you taking photos of?"
I was quite surprised, so I looked at everyone one around me who moments before were also taking photos with their iPhones and shitty digital cameras… and now they were looking at me like I was a criminal. He asked me again, "What are you taking photos of?" I knew I couldn't explain to a businessman, or a normal person for that matter, that the light looked nice… so I mumbled some lame answer even though I was pissed off for being grabbed. I also wanted to raise my skateboard in a threatening manner, which I was holding in my free hand, but it didn't occur to me until after I had shrugged him off and walked away in a huff. Naoyuki tried to reassure me that people were just panicking, which they were.
We decided to walk to my house, which was about two hours away. A lot of people were out, drifting, huddling around TV screens, or walking about because the trains had stopped. By the highway, there was a river of people walking in one direction. Naoyuki commented that it looked like a crusade. It was all a bit surreal. On the other hand, Shibuya Crossing seemed exactly the same because it is always overcrowded... No damage could be seen anywhere. We tried to stop at some cafes for a break, but they were all full of people killing time because they were stuck.
We finally made it to my neighborhood and decided to cook, but the supermarkets were closed. Texting finally began to work on my cell phone, and reports from friends slowly trickled in saying that they were okay. When I got home, my roommate Ian had already cleaned up all the books, pictures, and broken dishes from the floor. The only structural damage that I had seen that whole day was our neighbor's old tiled roof. That night we ate leftovers, talked, watched the news, and replied to the tons of emails from concerned friends and especially ex-girlfriends. Everyone in Tokyo was alright. Some of them had to walk eight hours to get home, but that seemed to be the worst of it. The footage we saw on TV as well as the news about the possible meltdown was almost too crazy for us to really understand at that time, so in a way, it didn't feel real.
To end the night we decided to watch 2012 as a bad joke to lighten things up, but when Los Angeles started to crumble into the ocean with John Cusack driving his stupid limo at full speed through all the mess while, in reality, our own house shook from aftershocks, it felt like deja-vu and was actually quite disturbing. Another thing I found quite fucked up about this shitty family/disaster movie was that they actually showed people in the backgrounds falling off buildings and getting burned alive. Eventually I fell asleep because it was so bad and I was so tired.
Tokyo kept shaking throughout the night.
Day 2: Saturday, March 12, 2011
I woke up to the unfortunate news that John Cusack and his family had survived. On top of that, our power was possibly going to be shut off later that day in order to save energy while the state of the nuclear reactors in Fukushima were still getting worse. The good news was that the trains were finally working, so my roommates and I walked Naoyuki, our stranded houseguest, to the station. Afterwards, we went to the grocery store to stock up on supplies.
At the supermarket, all the bread was gone, as well as most of the meat. While waiting for my roommates to pay, I noticed a man standing outside carrying his three year-old son in his arms. Their baby carriage suddenly crashed to the floor because it was overloaded with groceries... a bag of soba, onions, and other goods came rolling out. I went outside and helped him for two reasons because:
A. We are all dealing with a natural disaster
B. His hands seemed full with his kid
After I put the carriage upright and the groceries back in place, I felt like a good neighbor. He said thanks, but the weird thing was, he wasn't looking at me when he said it... He was looking a little to the left of my head, so I too looked over to the left of my head but didn't see anything unusual there. I was a bit concerned about him so I asked if he was okay, which he said he was... I began to walk away, but still not convinced, looked back. He was still staring into space with his boy wiggling in his arms. I asked if he was okay again, and like a robot, he repeated the same words like he was programmed to... Seeing him like that left me with chills.
Yuki, Ian's girlfriend/my roommate, was glued to the TV all day while Ian continued his usual routine of working on his computer. I felt terribly irritated all day. I tried to do some work, but couldn't. I tried to read a comic, but failed as well. Everything just bugged the shit out of me, even my roommates whom I love. I realized that we were all going through a slight case of post-traumatic stress.
The power outage forewarned by the media didn't come, but the aftershocks did – one after another. Later we had three more houseguests come and stay over because they were scared to be alone. We huddled around the computer and watched the video of the nuclear plant in Fukushima exploding.
Yuki looked like a wreck by the end of the night.
Day 3: Sunday, March 13, 2011
I woke up by another aftershock. Lying there, I tried to think of what I had to do that day, but I couldn't think of anything, which left me feeling useless and lost.
In the afternoon, I met my ex-girlfriend for lunch at a restaurant. We immediately talked about how good it was to get out of the house and away from the TV. A few minutes later, another couple was seated next to us and had the exact same conversation. This is one of the rare times when 39 million people are all thinking about the same thing.
While we ate, I also kept thinking about how useless art is at times like these. I asked my ex- if she could think of something, and she weakly replied, "I don't know… for therapy?" That sounded nice, but I didn't really believe it.
At home, another friend came over and told me that besides meat and bread, all the staple foods were now sold out at the supermarkets. He then ranted about how people were hoarding everything, which was selfish to others. Later we heard that in the next three days another big quake was supposed to hit. I seriously began to worry for the first time.
Two friends are leaving for Australia tomorrow, one friend is going to Hong Kong, and another is going to Korea to get away… I understand why my foreigner friends are doing this, but it leaves me feeling pissed off that they can take off so easily and abandon everyone in Tokyo. It's like the privileged business people with hard hats all over again.
I called my mom in the evening to let her know that I was okay and because I was secretly feeling sad. She said she was glad that I was fine, but couldn't talk because she had to catch a flight to Palm Springs to watch a tennis match.
Day 4: Monday, March 14, 2011
Woke up at 6:00, not because of the quake, but because I still had to go to work. The trains were half empty during rush hour on a Monday, which was eerie, but I appreciated the rare chance to sit down. I was late to work because the train kept stopping, but I found out after I had arrived that the majority of the other teachers at my junior high school hadn't shown up yet either. The teachers were stressed out and in disarray, while the students were more chipper and excited than chipmunks especially when the aftershocks hit. In the office during our break, I overheard the Jap. Lit. teacher saying that teaching the book Black Rain (which was about Hiroshima after the A-Bomb) would be inappropriate now.
At 1:00 o'clock, I was let out early because there was nothing left for me to do. Right before I got to the train station, I noticed an unusually large amount of crows cawing and flying around in the sky. I kept waiting for one of them to land somewhere like they usually do, but they kept flying around in a stir. I wasn't sure if I was just being paranoid...
At the station, I found out that my train would be shut down till 5:00 P.M. in order to conserve energy, which left me annoyed, but, at the same time, the fact that I was annoyed made me feel guilty because this was just a little inconvenience compared to others who had lost their homes and loved ones.
And of course, there was another explosion at the Fukushima plant, but it didn't bother me this time. Unless it was a nuclear meltdown, it was all the same to me.
In the evening, my roommates and emergency houseguests were in a good mood so we decided to watch a stupid movie. For some reason, we chose the film Powder about a gifted albino boy. Ian Wikipedia-ed the movie, and we found out that the director Victor Salva was convicted of child molestation in 1988 because he had given his 12 year old actor a b.j. during the production of his first feature film, which explained why Powder was filled with blatant homoerotic scenes involving minors. There was a creepy scene where Jeff Goldblum rubbed Powder's face with his fingers sensually for an unusually long time and another where Powder, like a perv, watched a jock twist his water soaked shirt over his face and sweaty bare chest in slow motion for no reason whatsoever.
Afterwards, I read an email from my agency saying that I wouldn't have to go to work for the rest of the week.
Day 5: Tuesday, March 15, 2011
At this point, I stopped keeping track of the explosions. There were fewer aftershocks today, but they were getting much bigger. Also there was news that low levels of radiation had already reached Tokyo.
Because I had the day off, I finally decided to begin my seven-day diary that I had been planning on for the past few days.
In the afternoon, we went to the grocery store. Even though there was no bread, rice, tofu, etc., there were still other kinds of food available like fruits, vegetables, cookies, etc. Everyone was still polite.
Afterwards, we stopped by the drugstore to see if they had any iodine tablets to protect us from radiation. Apparently Japan never carried them before because the Japanese diet was already high in iodine from wakame (seaweed), so the pharmacist offered us something similar to snake oil instead (which was about 120 US dollars for the bottle. Fuck that.) My roommates and I decided to just eat lots of wakame instead. (Later, I emailed my sister in America to mail us some iodine tablets, but she said that all the pharmacies were out because they had already shipped them to Japan.)
Walking home from the store, Yuki was the first one to notice a lot of pigeons flying around. I then mentioned to everyone about the crows that I had seen the day before. We talked about if it was just paranoia or not, when all of a sudden a group of crows and then some ducks flew overhead. They were all cawing madly, which left us worried, as if they knew something we didn't.
Fifteen minutes later, Ian called for a house meeting because the French Embassy declared that radiation might reach Tokyo in ten hours. TEN HOURS. The situation had finally become real and I began to panic for the first time. Foreign news, Japanese news, gossip, rumors… they were all saying different things, so we still had no idea what to believe. We began to discuss the possibility of evacuating and if so, how to do it…. I really wanted to leave then, but in the end, Yuki's company was still being stubborn, pretending that nothing was wrong, so she couldn't take time off work yet. There was no choice, but to stay. I tried hard to keep breathing normally to avoid a panic attack. To keep busy and focused, I continued writing my diary, which helped me calm down. I began believing what my friend said about art being therapeutic.
In the evening, we spent an hour looking for a place that still sells toilet paper and afterwards I spent another hour on the phone fighting with my ex-.
Later our friend Tim came over to say goodbye since he was leaving for America in the morning. To fight off radiation, we had wakame nabe (seaweed hot pot) together for dinner.
Before going to bed, I packed my My Little Dead Dick negatives in a box. I planned on shipping them to my sister the next day for safekeeping in case something happened.
Day 6: Wednesday, March 16, 2011
The big jolt we felt the night before was confirmed to be based in Shizuoka. It appeared that the earthquakes were steadily moving southward.
In the morning, Ian got a Skype call from his parents because they heard on the news that if one nuclear reactor melts down, the other five will too. After the call, Ian looked more stressed out than normal.
After mailing my negatives, I rode to the electronics store to develop film that I had shot over the past week. On my way there, I noticed that Tokyo was dirtier than normal. I wasn't sure if people stopped caring about keeping the city clean or if it was just the wind. Because the wind was so strong that day, it had left all the bikes parked along the street strewn on the ground. Ironically, it looked like there had been an earthquake earlier.
In the afternoon, I finished writing my journal about the day before. Because I felt much better about life and staying in Tokyo, I met my friend and invited her over to my place for tea. When we arrived home, Ian was outside in a huff and told us in one breath that he was off to the pet store to buy our cat a carrying cage, Yuki was getting off work early and would be home any minute, and that we would be leaving for Fukuoka tonight. Before I could ask him a question, he was gone. (I didn't find out until later, but while he was on Skype with his mother, she cried and told to him that she didn't want to lose another son. I think that's when Ian finally lost it.) While trying to comprehend the recent sudden developments, I still had to make tea and be a polite host for my friend; I also got a phone call from my ex- who seemed to be having a breakdown; and our houseguest from England arrived at home, followed by Yuki and then Ian who were both super-freaked out. Fortunately, I'd already had my panic attack the day before, so I was able to stay calm throughout all of this. Ian and Yuki wanted to catch the last shinkansen to Kyushu, which was leaving in an hour and a half, giving us only twenty minutes to pack. Finally I was able to convince Ian and Yuki that leaving the next morning was the smart thing to do, and then everyone relaxed a bit. We split our food, toilet paper, and bikes between our houseguest (who decided to stay longer because his girlfriend refuses to leave) and my friend (who had originally come over for tea).
For dinner we went out for Thai. I began to feel guilty about leaving Tokyo, and actually considered staying behind until we saw the Japanese news post a diagram of the radiation levels in Tokyo. The TV at the restaurant was muted, so we didn't hear what was being said, but the fact that the Japanese news was finally posting stuff about radiation in Tokyo was a big deal. Ian looked at us and said that if radiation continued to increase, there was a possibility that we might not be able to come back ever. We began to consider what we could leave behind and what we couldn't live without. The whole idea sounded very romantic to me, especially after Ian mentioned that we would have to bring our skateboards as well because there was a skatepark near Yuki's parent's house. My mood picked up and I got excited to pack.
By the time we got home, Ian was already drunk and also in a good mood. We looked at our library of books and considered what we could fit in our bags. Ian said that besides his passport, his computer, and his hard drive, he didn't really need anything, which was true. Compared to Ian, I felt like a materialist, but by 12:00 AM, I finally figured it all out. I laid out everything on the table in front of me and with my roommate's digital camera documented all that my life has amounted to at the age of twenty-nine.
Day 7: Thursday, March 17, 2011
Since our train was departing at 6:00 A.M., we stayed up all night packing, drinking port wine, writing last minute emails, and talking to our guest who would be taking care of our house until he could finally convince his girlfriend to leave Tokyo as well.
Not knowing if there would be a mass exodus of people at the train station, we decided to leave two hours early, so at 4:00 A.M., we put Willy, our cat, in a cage for the first time ever and said goodbye to our English houseguest.
By the time we arrived at Shinagawa station, we realized that we would be alright since there was hardly anyone there. The people who were there were all wearing face masks. Someone was even wearing a clear raincoat and goggles. Even though it was freezing cold and we still had an hour and a half before our train would arrive, we were finally able to relax.
When we got on the train, Ian stuffed Willy in his jacket and we all watched Tokyo pass away with the sunrise. For the rest of the five-hour journey, we had to keep Willy calm and cool instead of ourselves, which was nice for a change.
Yuki's father met us at the station and drove us back to their house in the countryside. While watching Fukuoka pass bye, it was hard to imagine Tokyo being under such duress. We drank tea, watched the news, and then Ian took a nap because he had been drinking all night and morning.
After dinner, I couldn't hold out any longer. I went to bed at eight, and didn't wake up until 11:00 the next morning.

The total delivery time for your order is the period of time from when you place your order until the time you receive it. It is comprised of two parts: the processing time and the shipping time.
The time from when you submit your order to when the item leaves our warehouse in the USA. In most cases, this is 4-5 business days. Please keep in mind that these timelines are estimates and may sometimes take a little longer based on stock availability and transit time.
The time from when the item leaves our warehouse (in New York, USA) to when it arrives at your door (address in India). In most cases, this is 15-20 days
Some items may be readily available at our India warehouse- in that case, orders for those items will be fulfilled through our supply chain partner hubs located across the country in an expedited manner.

The item price is inclusive of Import duty for all orders, hence Import duty is prepaid- you don't have to pay anything extra at the time of delivery. The item price excludes 18% GST (Goods & Service Tax); hence your final order amount will be Product price+18% GST on pan India basis. The shipping and handling fee for your order is on us.

Liberty went through many peaks and valleys in the beginning few years, but with strong leadership in place, there was confidence for success.

This strategic move returned immediate success, and as a result Liberty expanded their warehouse capacity and staff. A few years later, Liberty introduced accent pieces, and in 2005 diversified further by offering the occasional category.
Liberty is now one of the premiere leaders in manufacturing and delivering quality furniture at exceptional value. From their hard-working and faithful employees they have built a loyal customer base to whom they are dedicated. Liberty has achieved growth every year in operation. They have remained a strong, family oriented business that never compromises their values of dedicated customer service, a relentless pursuit of quality, and a devotion to enriching the lives of their employees, their customers, and the community.
Liberty continues to seek new initiatives and new opportunities for expansion. Recently, Liberty introduced their Home Office line.
