Wreck-Slingers, Part 2
Friday, February 6, 2009
Uh, Spider-Man? Hello?
Dang it, I guess we just missed him. Or, judging by the shape that cake is in, maybe we missed him a few weeks ago. Ew.
He's got to be around her somewhere, though; look:
Wow, that "web" is a real piece of...work. Yeah. I particularly like the baby-blue border; very...heroic.
Oh, wait, I think I see him over there - helloo-ooo! Spider-Man!
My, he's looking rather moody today, isn't he? And on all that chipper baby-blue and urine-yellow icing, too. Hey, Spidey, being controlled by an evil symbiote is no excuse to ignore proffered fist bumps, alright? So be nice.
Ah, and there he goes, slinking off again:
Dude, you could probably just walk across the... uh, say, what IS that? An electrical box? Gymnasium floor? What?
Ok, time for the Wreck-Slingers big finish! Ready? Aaand...

I guess the decorators wanted to just phone it in for the day. Or maybe these are "5pm on Friday" cakes.
It should really be a crime.
(Secretly hoping you post my iron man cake soon :)) - February 6, 2009 at 9:27 AM

Jazz Hands!! LOL
Jen, one would assume, having never seen your blog, that there is just not enough material in the world to keep a cake wrecks theme going. THANK YOU for proving them wrong each and every day.
Love ya sistah. - February 6, 2009 at 9:28 AM

LOVE the Jazz Hands...Look, it's "Just Spidey." :o)

Oh that is so sad! I need to find a picture of a cake my mom and her friend did for my brother when he was 5ish. It was Batman...I don't remember it being that bad but now I'm not so sure.........will find and scan for you.

I love the Jazz Hands! LOL!

Wow, they just keep getting worse and worse. What IS up with that web? Surely you would think someone that decorates cakes for a living could do a web...
Maybe not. - February 6, 2009 at 9:40 AM
- Angie said...
That second cake reminds me of the spiders on drugs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHzdsFiBbFc). I'm guessing that cake was made by a meth spider.
- February 6, 2009 at 9:42 AM
- ChasesMumma said...
Haha thats hilarious. The 2nd one looks like a malformed bear-trap! Watch out!

Perhaps Sage's cake would make more sense if we all put on our 3D glasses?
- February 6, 2009 at 9:47 AM
I just started reading your blog in the last week or so, and what is WITH all the Spiderman wrecks?!? There's just something about him that makes cake-decorating nearly impossible, apparently.
"JAZZ HANDS!" killed me, by the way. - February 6, 2009 at 9:47 AM
- The Courteous Chihuahua said...
LMAO at Cake #2!!! It reminds me of the Spiders on Drugs experiments. I think that one was done by the sleeping pill spider.

- February 6, 2009 at 9:53 AM
That third one is just god awful. What is it supposed to be? Can someone please help a dumb Michigan girl figure out what it means?
The Jazz hands are way too funny though. Yikes. - February 6, 2009 at 9:54 AM
Love the Jazz hands lol
I shall take a risk in sounding too blonde now, but I can't find your e-mail, I'd like to send in a photo of a wreck. :) - February 6, 2009 at 9:55 AM
- Kara said...
OK the third one? Who is the guy in the background? And the giant 3D fist coming out of the 2D photo? Classy.
http://cookeatreadsleep.blogspot.com/ - February 6, 2009 at 10:12 AM
JAZZ HANDS!!! hee hee hee
I'll be giggling at that all day!
WV- aphiping
I'm not payin' aphiping thing for thet phiping cake. - February 6, 2009 at 10:14 AM
I saw the price on the third cake. They want $35 for that? $35is not a bad price for a well made cake considering the materials and time put in but that is not a well made cake. Was that a " we started a yellow brick road but it didn't go well so we threw Spiderman on there" cake?
- February 6, 2009 at 10:15 AM
- ilovebabyquilts said...
Wow, these cakes are nowhere near as funny without your commentary. You are truly a wit! It's not the cakes Jen, it's you that's funny.

- Anna said...
Ahahahaha! Jazz hands!!! You killed with that one.
- February 6, 2009 at 10:18 AM
Sage is a word originating from 2chan. It is used to reply to a post without bumping it, and has become a popular Internet meme.
That's your geek moment of the day! - February 6, 2009 at 10:20 AM

Aw that last cake is cute...like a baby spiderman doing Jazz Hands which makes it all the more hilarious!!

Poor Spidey!
"Manager's Special"...and the wreckorator was too!
Or not. - February 6, 2009 at 10:42 AM
The Canadian in me says that the cake before the Jazz Hands cake is Spiderman in a curling bonspeil. HURRY HARD, SPIDEY!! HURRY HARD!
- February 6, 2009 at 10:42 AM
Bahahahaha - Jazz hands!
- February 6, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Looks like cake 1 is actually missing the plastic piece from cake 4...Maybe Spidey got bored after a week on cake 1 and swung over to cake 4...
- February 6, 2009 at 10:54 AM
After checking in day after day to this blog, it hasn't ceased to amaze me that these poorly decorated cakes are even attempted to be sold. I mean, do people ACTUALLY buy them? Who are they hiring? What stores/bake shops are making these?
- February 6, 2009 at 10:56 AM
- the ginabean said...
I daresay Spider Man drank HEAVILY before spinning THAT web...
The one where he's crawling across the floor makes me laugh out loud; the stance is so much less impressive horizontally...
And the "jazz hands" Spider Man--something about his eyes--reminds me of those darned "Precious Moments" characters. I was unaware they started drawing Spidey. :) - February 6, 2009 at 10:56 AM
- Miranda said...
Whoa. Those are truly awful. - February 6, 2009 at 11:01 AM
Jazz Hands!!!!!
Spidey the Musical!
My daughter Sage loves that the last one has her name on it! That just makes it even funnier. - February 6, 2009 at 11:13 AM

The only thing that comes to mind is your tag line. "Oh-so-ugly."

- February 6, 2009 at 11:49 AM

OMG! I just found your (awesome,hysterical) blog from Big Time Fancy, and I can't get enough. You should do a book, I swear,...too funny. Some of these are scary funny,...hard to believe people are that,...well,...that,...stupid? or airheaded?,...(don't mean to be so mean,-sorry.) I'm sending this blog to ALL my family and friends. Keep up all the entertainment,...and think about a book!

responding to Kara:
The guy in the background is Sandman Spiderman's nemisis in the last movie. Though that does not excuse the pee-yellow frosting on his side of the cake. - February 6, 2009 at 12:40 PM

Jazz Hands!!
Every time I need a laugh to day I'm going to think of that. - February 6, 2009 at 12:43 PM
- Krusho said...
I have to ask about "Jazz Hands." That is a pan sold for the home decorator by a not-so-secret corporate giant that has collected a lot of my money for that stuff.
Are you sure that last one is a professional cake?
I'm just sayin', because I have that pan hanging on the wall in my kitchen. Now I can't walk into that room without thinking,
"Just Spidey!"
LOL Thanks for that. :) - February 6, 2009 at 1:07 PM

Wow. It looks like Spidey is climbing across an iceberg floating on a football field with a lake next to it.

I've made the last one at least 3 times (I have 2 boys), but I'll never be able to make it again with a straight face. Jazz hands!
- February 6, 2009 at 1:26 PM
Hey! I saw that fourth one on a Flickr page when I was looking up Spiderman cakes. The version I saw was a Wal-Mart cake with him climbing up the side of a building. Only thing was, the building was sideways (as it is in that cake), so it looks like Spidey's doing some really bizarre Yoga.
Great finds here, Jen! - February 6, 2009 at 1:35 PM
Jazz hands...kills me! And what is that in the corner..."Sage"? Sage doesn't even get a "Happy 5th Birthday Sage" or a "Good Luck with Your Retirement Sage". Poor Sage.
- February 6, 2009 at 1:53 PM
LOL! The first thing I thought of when I saw the second cake was the experiments with putting spiders on drugs and seeing the webs they weave. I was going to post a URL, but someone upthread beat me to it.
It would be fun to try and guess what the decorator was on by comparing the images . . . I mean, *nobody* decorates a cake that way unless they're stoned. Srsly. - February 6, 2009 at 2:14 PM
considering that Cake #3 is an ice cream cake, I'll stay off the yellow snow side. Gimmee a slice of Spidey on Ice.

It looks like a wrecker of moderate skill got ambitious and tried a rather difficult perspective drawing. I award him an 'A' for the effort, though the result does not pass muster.

Jeez.. it's a building he's crawling across. Can't you tell?? The sky is just lying down on the left side. I mean, the cloud drawn out in white gives it away totally!
Hurray for horizontal day! - February 6, 2009 at 2:44 PM
- Denise said...
I'm LMAO at jazz hands!
Now I can't get rid of the mental image of Spidey dancing to the theme song waggling his hands all about. - February 6, 2009 at 2:49 PM
Hi- I think I somewhow accidentally removed a photo from your post about hunting-themed wedding cakes- hope you can replace it- it was the stump with a heart carved in it with cartridge shells scattered around- i wanted to share it with a freind and somehow accidentally pushed a button and it disappeared- i didnt know that was possible- and amybe now it just wont show on my computer- but if it did somehow erase the photo off your blog, i'm sorry and I hope you can add it back in-- thanks!!

He looks like a mer-man...Is that a tail? Or an arm?
- February 6, 2009 at 3:08 PM

The little suction cup feet on the fourth cake make me think an identical one was supposed to be on the first. (See the two circle divots and the toe mark?)
- February 6, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Jazz hands!?! hahahahahaha LOVE IT!
- February 6, 2009 at 3:45 PM
I have looked at the cake with Spidey creeping across the frozen plastic about four times now. It still looks like white adhesive tape strips holding it all down to the cake board. But the little snowman cookie in the background is cute.
I'm so glad I'm not a Spiderman fan. - February 6, 2009 at 3:56 PM

I've decided that I should become a cake decorator, because you obviously don't need a lot of training, or any skill, or good vision... as long as i dont have to bake the cake, although that would add fun fodder to your blog... hmmm now to find a walmart that will hire me with no experience... hehe my sister's mother-in-law makes cakes for my nephew's birthdays... cake for 1st birthday was elmo (amazing, looked professional -- lots of red icing and perfect detail to make him look like it was really elmo)... for his 3rd birthday he got a pirate cake with backyardigans islands (special request by the birthday boy) and they were amazing... i will have to send it -- shows that non-pros can be better than "pros" sometimes!

It seems everywhere I've gone for the past week, I've been hearing the term "Jazz Hands".....eerie...or was it recently on SNL?
Holy Cow! The verification word is :
What're the odds? - February 6, 2009 at 8:07 PM
- Evonne said...
Don't know what the decorator did there, but Spidey is SUPPOSED to look like he is climbing a wall. I have no clue what that is supposed to be.
New Publix Decorator, maybe? - February 6, 2009 at 9:38 PM

The last one I don't think is professional.... I have that cake pan it's a Wilton one.
- February 6, 2009 at 10:26 PM
WHAT is it about a cake that made someone think "Hmmmm....this cake needs a fire hydrant..." Fire hydrant = dog urine, remember??
- February 7, 2009 at 8:46 AM
In defense of the third and fourth ones...
1. The third one is a Baskin Robbins cake, which mean's it's an ice cream cake. I work at a Baskin Robbins as a cake decorator and let me tell you, ice cream cakes are MUCH more difficult to decorate than regular cakes. They melt constantly. Often times, depending on the design, you have to decorate the entire cake INSIDE THE FREEZER (this is in order to keep the butter cream icing from slipping off of the cake)! Imagine trying to decorate a cake in -10°F weather! Also, we can't use airbrush because it will melt/mess up the cake... although it is true that their skill could have been better :P
2. I've seen the picture of that design and unfortunately, that's close to what the actual design is supposed to look like. Again, their skill could have been better.
The other three are absolutely hilarious though! - February 7, 2009 at 12:57 PM
- Kirsten said...
I absolutely love your blog, but now I have a reason to love it even more. I've just started the sequence of Wilton Cake Decorating classes. Just finished my first cake after the first class, and I now have a great appreciation for what it takes to make that simple looking yet deceptively complicated "shell border" featured on most grocery store cake edges. But after seeing the "pro's" work, they clearly have not mastered the shell border either. So I'm pretty proud of how my home, class one version turned out. Thanks for making my day (again)!
Oh, and by some luck, the word verification on this post is peenog. Sounds like a good blog title for next holiday season? - February 7, 2009 at 3:23 PM

I have to give a genuine THANK YOU for Cakewrecks. I usually keep up everyday but I missed Friday's entry. I needed to read it today because A: we're having my son's 3rd birthday party tonight and my husband is in charge of the Spiderman/superhero themed celebration. B: I'm having a crappy day and I needed the JAZZ HANDS pick-me-up. Cakewrecks is the best!

Wow, I was just browsing the site and making horrified faces at the SpiderMan cakes... but the "Jazz hands" cake literally had me laughing out loud. My cat gave me a funny look.
- February 8, 2009 at 3:53 PM
I just thought Spidey had a question on the last one. A question like, "How did I end up on this mess?"
- February 9, 2009 at 3:01 PM
The floating head on cake number two is freaking me out!
- February 9, 2009 at 4:52 PM
I love your website, Jen!!!!!!!!! I have had a cake wreck too, sadly the pictures were accidentallly burned. I asked a bakery (over phone) to put on the cake "Congrats, Emily and Jake" surrounded by flowers(they were engaged) but instead the cake said "Conga Rats: Emily and Jake" and above it, surrounded by flowers, were 8 rats doing the conga, and the ones above the names of emily and jake had sombreros on.

Ok, I'm slightly mortified that that last pic has shown up, considering that I linked to a pic of a cake I made using that cake tin on the previous Spidey post! I however, am not a professional, so hopefully I'm excused for it :-)
Jazz Hands! I'm LMAO at that. Will make me giggle every time I see the cake tin :-) - February 12, 2010 at 1:13 PM
anyone else notice that the one with the baby blue border and the little spidey head in the corner is marked down on a manager's special?? Wonder why it didn't sell......
- September 22, 2010 at 3:27 PM
I wonder if the "electrical box? Gymnasium floor?" one is supposed to look like the packaging that the action figure came in.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

Size and shape: 11"
Package item code: LBR82730
Price includes inflation with helium.
HI-FLOAT® Treatment for latex balloons.
Latex balloons, used indoors and out of direct sunlight, will usually float for at least 3 days if treated with Hi-Float®, a non-toxic sealant which coats the inner wall of the balloon. Float time may be reduced significantly in unusually warm, unusually cool, or very humid environments, and at elevations significantly above sea level.
On hot days, in direct sunlight, balloons may pop within an hour. The same result can occur indoors if balloons are exposed to direct sunlight through windows.
Very cool environments may cause helium molecules to shrink, reducing the size and float time of balloons.
Indoors or outdoors, the constant flow of air around a balloon will increase the speed at which helium molecules escape through the wall of the balloon, resulting in reduced float time.

Mixed Grill
Monday, May 25, 2009
That's right: It's barbecue time, baby.
Is this creative? Sure. Appetizing? Not so much. It looks like a giant half-cooked hamburger with steak and shish kabab'ed Elmo fingers on it. [shudder] Great, now I gave myself the willies.
Speaking of shish kababs, here's the "cheater-cheater-plastic-eater" version:
[shaking head] Til the end of time, Wreckerators will be trying - and failing - to make circles out of cupcakes. What's the definition of insanity again?
And here's one with the oh-so-authentic chalky briquette look:
Ah, there's nothing like leprous-looking cupcakes to get the ol' saliva glands going!
Some bakeries are breaking down the two main components of the grilling experience. See, while this next one may look like a penned-in bunch of baboon butts, you can tell by the "GRILLIN'" sticker that it's actually a grill:
Huh. Thank goodness for stickers, is all I can say.
Oh, and here's the raw, malformed lump that goes on it! Yum!
Now there's some bloody good fun, eh, guv'na? Jolly good, pip pip, and all that. (Hey, I've read Wodehouse, Ok? I'm practically an expert on British terminology. Really.)
Shannon S., Amy J., Joanna C., & Nichole H., I'm suddenly inspired to find a doll on a grill, just so I can write the caption "Barbie on the barbie". Unless one of you knows a girl named Barbie? You could even turn the grill off, if you like.
UPDATE: Ask, and ye shall receive:

Somehow, the idea of putting raw meat in my mouth--for dessert, no less--is less than appetizing.

I so wish I could see Elmo fingers in that first one, rather than what I really see: little screaming baby birds, with skewers shoved down their throats waiting to be burned alive.
Now, I really get a huge giggle out of the "ashy" grill picture--it's exceptionally difficult to find a SINGLE piece of "food" on the actual grate. Looks like everything just fell onto the heap o' white-hot frosting. What in blazes ARE they serving there, BTW? Looks to me like: already-been-sucked-on Hall's cough drops, choco-chip cookie bits, ripped-off penguin beaks (why do I keep seeing bird parts?), and little globs of shiny, green phlegm...
Mmmmm...is it ready yet? =^><^=
And Jen? Don't you LET them kid you! That really IS a "penned-in bunch of baboon butts" ! Who wouldn't know one of THOSE when they saw it??? - May 25, 2009 at 10:31 AM

I don't know, the Grillin one looked more like sleeping naked mole rats to me.
- May 25, 2009 at 10:52 AM
See, it's times like these that I have to wonder who doesn't like cake looking like cake and has to be enticed to eat it by shaping it like something else. I mean, I can understand kids (or adults) not liking a vegetable unless it's hidden in something yummy, but cake? If you can't like cake as is by itself, then, well, I feel sorry for you.

That raw steak looks eerily realistic. That would really do a number on your brain - your tastebuds are expecting raw meat and get something sugary sweet instead. Blah.

I nearly fell out of my chair at the shish kabab'ed Elmo fingers. Funniest thing I've seen in ages.
But that baboon butt cake? What is that even ... I'm just speechless. I can't put my finger on what the blobs look like, but it's something very gross that makes my stomach turn. I wouldn't eat that if I was paid. - May 25, 2009 at 11:08 AM

The very first one I like, but the grill itself is a little odd looking. I didn't see the steak for a very long time.
I'd think making these into a REAL cake would be so much easier. All the grills look oddly lumpy because they're CCCs.
The second to last looks like so many different organs, or reminds me of them, that I'm truly not sure what to say.
I would love to have that last one. Meat cakes crack me up. I love anything in the shape of another, but I think meat (or toast) are the best. I often wish that, when I have a wedding, to make it entirely out of cakes shaped like meat. :) - May 25, 2009 at 12:37 PM

BBQ cakes is definitely NOT what I'm going to make the next time I bake. Eww. - May 25, 2009 at 12:59 PM
- Unknown said...
You need to have the last laugh and invent a cupcake pan (if it doesn't exist already) that has some that are a different shape so that when they're all assembled they can make believable circles, curves, etc. Still pull-apartable but not as egregiously malformed.
You could make a mint off of the people you've mocked. :) - May 25, 2009 at 1:06 PM

- May 25, 2009 at 2:02 PM
I actually think the "steak cake" is a pretty stunning work of cake art based on how realistic it looks and the potential for confusing your tastebuds. Now, if someone could just make a hunk of raw steak look like a decorated frosted layer cake, and serve them together, that would be worthy of a gallery event!

Call me crazy, but I kind of like the one that looks like ashy charcoal briquettes. I mean, at least it's using the cupcakes' normal shape?
Elmo Fingers. I must serve these at my next party. - May 25, 2009 at 2:26 PM
The first one is mildly impressive, if you ignore the bits of creeping multicolored mold, just waiting to come in and massacre those poor Elmo fingers. Look out, Massacring Mold is comin' to a steak cake (stake?) near you! D:

In defense of the mega roast cake (not *implying* that it NEEDS defending, of course), I'd like to say that I think its creator did a pretty good job of marbling the fat.
And of achieving a fairly realistic-looking shade of bloody, raw, red meat.
Why, they could have graded it (grade A prime sitting cake roast) and sold it by the pound as a MANAGER'S SPECIAL.
You know, for the cookout thingy...what's that called? Oh, yeah: it's a GRIL. - May 25, 2009 at 2:56 PM

These cakes remind me of the cakes I saw in the grocery store Saturday. While there weren't any grills, there was the hamburger cake, and since I live in Maryland, cakes in the shape of crabs, which were actually kind of cute. There were also cakes shaped like a watermelon with a butterfly on it, but it still looked like Kermit's STD.

WOW...icky to the max!!! The baboon butt cake looks like caged moose testicles to me. Or at least the testicles of some humungous animal. Gross.
Ya know, I love BBQ'd steak. Slap a slab of bloody red meat on the grill for me anytime. But the last one had me swallowing hard. Repeatedly. It's quite impressive on some points, really. The wrecker has really pulled off a realistic looking meat cake there. Nice fat marbling, effective steak-shape mimicry, but the thickness proportion is a little off. I personally have never seen a steak that thick. Ever. Even as a roast, it's still massive.

Cake decorating is an art form where cake and icing are the medium. The whole thrill of it all is the theory that you can make ANYTHING out of it and we, as artists, want to see just how far that theory can go. The unfortunate part is that the medium is so readily accessible to the wrong hands. Hence we end up with cake wrecks! - May 26, 2009 at 8:58 AM

I still don't understand cupcake cakes. At all.
And people order these specifically? ("I'd like a cake shaped like a trilobite with the inscription 'Dig Here, Dig Now' but make it out of 17 cupcakes.")
Too cheap to order a cake that feeds 18? Too lazy to do the math? Scarred by having run out of cake at a previous function and thus resorting to the 1 cupcake per guest rule? - May 26, 2009 at 11:34 AM

I actually quite like the first one and the nice gray charcoal one...they're creative and they're decorated rather nicely.
I like decorators who think outside the (cake) box. - May 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM

My husband and I LOVE P.G. Wodehouse. I'm reading the Blandings Castle books AND we're listening to one of the Jeeves books on CD...which we've found to be an excellent way to get your Wodehouse; but ONLY and I repeat, ONLY if read by Jonathan Cecil!!!!

That 3rd one reminds me of the scene in "Steel Magnolias" were M'Lynn (Sally Field) discussed grey icing, and wondered how you make grey icing.
Apparently those bakers figured it out, Aunt Fern apparently worked there. - June 3, 2009 at 12:27 PM
I can't repeat what first went through my mind when I saw the steak cake, because it had a lot of profanity and blasphemy. That thing... it's just horrifying.

In general? My response to this is:
the first one is the only one that would be semi-acceptable - if they'd only had the sense to leave off the 'utensils'.

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info

As a homeowner, you've probably entertained guests who overstayed their welcome. But unlike your in-laws or a former college roommate, an animal that's made itself at home on your property has no intention of leaving.
Some of the usual suspects include raccoons, opossums, woodchucks, skunks, or the occasional stray cat. And while they're just looking for a safe place to call home, you'd probably prefer it wasn't under your porch or shed.
How can I tell if an animal is living under my porch?
Wondering if an animal has decided to move in? Here are some things you should look for:
- Animal sightings: This one's obvious. But if you see an animal entering and exiting the space below your porch multiple times, there's a high likelihood it's not just visiting. Of course, many nuisance animals are nocturnal. So if you want to catch them in the act, think about investing in a motion-sensor trail camera – many models can be found for less than $50 online.
- Damage: One of the reasons animals are worth evicting from around your home is the damage they can do to your home and property. Look for burrow holes, gnawed wood, and eaten vegetation around the area.
- Paw prints: Spread a light dusting of sand or flour around your porch at night, then check for prints in the morning.
- Droppings: We know – ewww. But animal droppings, or scat, can help you confirm the identity of your newest neighbor.
How can I get the animal to leave?
When evicting an animal near a house, many well-meaning homeowners turn to live traps as a humane solution for removal. But according to experts, the trap-and-release method rarely ends well for captured animals. You could separate a mother from its young, or the animal could have difficulty thriving in the area you choose to release it.
So instead of setting a trap, try to convince the animal to move out on its own. Here are some ways to persuade an animal into finding a new home:
- Noise: Chances are, the animal you're trying to evict decided to move in because it found a safe, quiet space under your porch. Leaving a radio playing under your porch for a few days can send it searching for a more tranquil home.
- Light: Animals like raccoons, possums, groundhogs, and skunks like dark, quiet spaces. Plugging in a strobe light or some flashing Christmas lights near the problem area can serve as another good deterrent.
- Scents: If you've pinpointed the type of animal living under your porch, try buying some granular repellent to spread around the area. You could also try a rag soaked in a strong-smelling (but non-toxic) solution, like apple cider vinegar.
- Call a professional: If you're not having any luck evicting an animal on your own, consider calling a professional pest removal company. They'll make sure the animal is removed safely and humanely.
How do I keep an animal from returning?
Once you're sure the animal has moved out, it's time to keep it out for good. Similar to preventing smaller creatures like bats and squirrels from entering your home, you should start by sealing off the area. For decks and porches, you can use decorative lattice with some wire mesh behind it. Just be sure to bury the bottom of the barrier so animals are unable to sneak underneath it. For sheds and other buildings, fill in any burrow holes with dirt, then spread animal repellent in the area a few times each year.
Does my homeowners insurance cover animal damage?
Generally speaking, damage from animals is not covered by your homeowners insurance. That's because it's considered a home maintenance issue, since the damage is gradual – as opposed to a sudden event, like your neighbor's tree falling on your roof. An insurance professional like an Erie Insurance agent can help you understand what your insurance does (and doesn't) cover. Find a local agent in your neighborhood to ask questions or get a customized homeowners insurance quote.
A better insurance experience starts with ERIE.
Haven't heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else. Though we've grown to reach the Fortune 500 list, we still haven't lost the human touch.

Shoulder and clavicle pain can be experienced by people of all ages. Your chiropractor can treat shoulder and clavicle pain using a variety of methods. If you or a loved one suffers from either shoulder or clavicle pain or discomfort, read on to learn more.
What is the Shoulder and Clavicle Region?
You probably already know what the shoulder region is, but you may not know that the clavicle region is interconnected with the function and location of the shoulder. The clavicle consists of a slender, long bone that runs horizontally between the tops of your two shoulders. Interestingly, the clavicle is the only bone that runs horizontally of its length. The other long bones run vertically, in your legs and arms. The clavicle is commonly referred to as the collarbone because it runs directly beneath where your shirt collar would be.
Why is There Pain in the Shoulder and Clavicle Region?
It's quite common to experience shoulder and or clavicle pain. Even though the clavicle isn't a "moving" bone, exterior pressure and weight can bear on this bone and cause discomfort. In addition, pain from one or both shoulders can radiate to the clavicle. Shoulder pain is even more common. Because the shoulder joint is so complex as well as so often used, pain in this area usually occurs to almost everyone at least once.
Common Causes of Shoulder and Clavicle Pain
Some of the most common causes of shoulder and or clavicle pain include:
- Stress fracture, from too much weight or pressure on the clavicle. Even the tiniest stress fracture can cause immense pain.
- Osteoarthritis, where the protective cartilage around the clavicle or shoulder has worn down.
- Bruising, where force trauma has occurred and bruised the bone, possibly from an accident such as a vehicle accident.
- Poor sleep posture, in which case your chiropractor can recommend a sleep posture that won't negatively affect the shoulder or clavicle region.
- Osteomyelitis, which is a bone infection commonly spread through the blood.

Bears-Colts in Super Bowl XLI, but I'm still dwelling on the "How They Got There" angle, off of last night's epic Colts win over the Pats.
Here's the intrigue: Sure, Peyton and Indy exorcised evil BeliBrady ghosts of the past decade, but does it REALLY mean anything?
Beating the Pats in the penultimate game of the season was important. Like "Red-Sox-finally-beating-the-Yankees-in-2004" important.
But if, after winning the 2004 ALCS, the Red Sox went on to lose the World Series to the Cardinals, the actual value of beating the Yankees would have lost most of its significance, even if the symbolic meaning did not.
Tom Brady isn't deified for winning AFC championships; he's deified for winning three Super Bowl rings. That's the harsh reality of the NFL: You are judged on your Super Bowl titles.
(Want a great example? Donovan McNabb. The Eagles FINALLY breaking through in the NFC two seasons ago -- despite what it seemed to mean the morning after the NFC title game -- means nothing today. Because he lost -- choked, literally and metaphorically -- in the Super Bowl.)
And so here is the upshot for Peyton Manning and the Colts: It don't mean a thing if they don't win that ring.
Colts win: That said, it sure must feel nice to not just beat the Pats for the AFC title, but to do it in such an unprecedented way.
Pats lose: Whoa. The Pats... chokers? Not just chokers, but record-setting chokers? Not just record-setting chokers, but Tom Brady doing the choking? When he got the ball with a minute to go, who DIDN'T think he'd come down the field and score a game-winning TD? EVERYONE knew it was coming. That's what made his game-ending INT so startling. It was so... un-Brady.
Bears win: The rumbling this a.m. is that Reggie Bush's somersault into the end-zone on his ridiculous TD to put the Saints back into the game motivated the Bears to destroy the Saints. I'm not sure how true that is, but after that play,
Saints lose: Does losing before reaching the Super Bowl diminish the Saints' storybook season? Truthfully, yes. Fans barely remember the Super Bowl runner-up, let alone the conference title-game loser. But this Saints team WAS the story of the year in the NFL -- when the city needed it most -- and, even more important, the team's history of suckitude might actually be behind them. The true breakthrough was that they have shed the rep as a punchline.
Looking ahead to SB XLI: Here are the top 3 storylines you won't be able to escape from: (1) Peyton's redemption; (2) Two black head coaches, ensuring that for the first time, a black head coach will win the Super Bowl; (3) Memories of the Bears' 85 team.
More of today's biggest storylines:
Vick/Airport/Pot (Non-)Scandal: Uh, about that hidden water-bottle compartment? It didn't contain any pot. As you survey the over-the-top reaction from sports media last week, one word comes to mind: Oops. (ProFootballTalk correctly calls out the turnaround as suspiciously sketchy.)
Steelers hire Mike Tomlin: It's nice to see the force behind the NFL's "Rooney Rule" -- attempting to give minorities a better chance to become head coaches -- put money to mouth.Instant-history cynics might note that the Steelers are simply jumping on the NFL's hottest bandwagon of Monday morning: African-American head coaches as the new key component to getting a team to the Super Bowl.
(NFL owners and GMs are nothing if not quick to try to copy the blueprint of winning teams: I'll be curious to see whether this will spark more minority hiring at the head-coach level.)
NFL Coaching Carousel: Jim Mora DID get back to
College Hoops Parity Watch: So much for Pitt as a contender. No. 24 Marquette waltzed into Pitt's house and KO'ed the No. 6 Panthers in OT.
MLB Hot Stove: Chase Utley signs 7Y/$85M extension. Worthy of his rise to become the best fantasy 2B in the league.
NBA: Carmelo returns tonight. And NOW the grand experiment of chemistry between Melo and AI begins. This will be fascinating to watch.

Frozen shoulder is the condition of painful shoulder limiting the movements because of pain and inflammation. It is also called as adhesive capsulitis and may progress to the state where an individual may feel very hard to move the shoulder. It is more common in older adults aged between 40 and 60 years and is more common in women than men.
Frozen shoulder is caused by inflammation of the ligaments holding the shoulder bones to each other. The shoulder capsule becomes thick, tight, and the stiff bands of tissue called adhesions may develop. Individuals with shoulder injury, shoulder surgeries, shoulder immobilized for longer period of time, other disease conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Parkinson's disease and cardiac diseases are at risk of developing frozen shoulder.
Frozen shoulder may cause pain and stiffness and limit the movements of shoulder. Condition can be diagnosed by the presenting symptoms and radiological diagnostic procedures such as X-rays or MRI scans. Treatment for frozen shoulder includes nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid injections for pain, treatment of underlying risk factors, and shoulder arthroscopy surgery. During surgery, the scar tissue will be removed and tight ligaments, if any, will be dissected. Following surgery physical therapy will be advised to bring full range of motion and strengthen the muscles.
