Er, turkey cakes, I mean. Yeah.
I'm not sure who is more confused: me or the decorator who made this:
First I see a weird smiley face whose hair is on fire. Then I see... no, wait - sorry, that's all I see.
Despite the fact that these look like electrified squirrels with blazing tails, they're actually sort of cute. In a frantic, somebody-get-me-a-bucket-of-water kind of way, I mean.
Of course, then there's the turkey who's already been extinguished [smirk]:
(That's a brownie, not a cake. Pretty soon bakeries are going to start "decorating" our loaves of bread, if we're not careful.)
Unless you're eating at a restaurant at the end of the universe, I'm pretty sure your food should never talk to you - much less advocate your imbibing its flesh. Yech.
Then again:
Maybe it's worse when the thing is pleading with you NOT to eat it.
"Thing" being the operative word here, since this looks like the result of craft time at the local preschool. All it's missing is a construction paper hand-tracing for a tail, and maybe a bunch of glitter.
(Hey, now, put that glitter down, Wreckerators; I didn't mean to give you any ideas!)
Thanks to Jessi W., Jocelyn M., Delielah R., and Bonnie B.!

What's with all the use of brown icing? Do we really need cakes to look like pooo?
Get someone else to gobble-gobble those cakes - I ain't touching them. - November 21, 2008 at 9:24 AM

That last one looks like a turkey camoflaging itself as a pile of leaves. Not bad, Turkey. Not bad.

I was thinking "squirrels" too! They don't look in the least bit like turkeys, that's for sure.

A turkey cake?? Yuck. Let's see---after filling my face with turkey and all the fixings, I am hungry for cake? NO! Pumpkin pie goes with Thanksgiving. Not cake. Well, maybe some rum cake...
I agree, it is creepy for a cake to tell me to eat it or to plead with me to not eat it. - November 21, 2008 at 9:26 AM

Thanks for my daily laugh! My 5 yr old is asking why the first turkey's mouth is so low and not on his beak. He does like the googly eyes and wants to shake it up.
- November 21, 2008 at 9:30 AM

I never knew that a turkey's beak was actually just it's nose, and it has a giant yellow smile! I've been wrong for YEARS.

I need to get back to our Walmart. They had a turkey that looked like a turd on cardboard. I *think* it was supposed to be 2 cupcakes with the tail behind them. It ended up looking more like Mr. Hanky.
- November 21, 2008 at 9:31 AM
I'm pretty sure that brownies encouraging me to eat them would only drive me to order a green salad (but ultimately I'd end up with soup, I guess).
- November 21, 2008 at 9:31 AM
- Lauren said...
Well, the brownie one is kind of cute, I think. I mean, they did a pretty good job on the wattle and the little paper frills. It's cute!...apart from the smoke-lines... and the fact that the turkey's body looks like a pile of... ok, I retract my statement.

Oh my! I love the electrified squirrels! The things people will make AND then think they look good. At least I would have enough sense to just eat the whole thing my self or throw it in the trash. Too funny!
- November 21, 2008 at 9:34 AM
The second one looks like a basketball on a pedestal!
- November 21, 2008 at 9:35 AM
Ah, a Douglas Adams reference! Although I should have known if you were a "Doctor Who" fan then you would also be a Douglas Adams fan... the two seem to go hand in hand.
In regards to that last "cake" -- yes, it does remind me of making 'turkeys' in grade school arts and crafts using pine cones for the bodies, felt 'feathers' and pipe cleaners for the legs and heads.

Whoever made the first cake really should be embarrassed. 5th graders could have done better.
- November 21, 2008 at 9:36 AM
And that second cake is why squirrels should NEVER be allowed to play near light sockets. Poor flaming tails.
As for the extinguished turkey, I thought less of steam lines and more of stink lines. Or maybe I'm just remembering the year we bought a bad turkey. - November 21, 2008 at 9:38 AM

Holly crap! I mean that! Honestly some of those cakes look a little well, poopy. Not meaning any disrespect. Or anything.

The first one looks a bit better if you think of the smile as a wing. Not great, mind you, but a tiny bit better.
- November 21, 2008 at 9:40 AM

I think the first one looks like not just a smiley face, but a dang smiley baked potato on fire.
- November 21, 2008 at 9:43 AM
- Cottagecheap said...
To me, the first one looks like a very confused bean. It is part mexican jumping bean hence the legs. However, it is embracing it's inner Native American hence the head-dress! I am just worried about that mass on his face I think for a bean that might be a melanoma. VEry sad really!
- November 21, 2008 at 9:43 AM
Love the Douglas Adams reference! :)
- November 21, 2008 at 9:44 AM
The Groucho Marx nose, er, beak on the first one is killing me.
Apparently turkey feathers are the invitation to use the craziest icing techniques, hence the fuzzy appearances of the second and fourth ones. I understand feathers are hard to replicate in something with a completely different texture, but I'm not sure those techniques mitigated that difficulty. Somehow the word verification, hanci, seems to apply here. - November 21, 2008 at 9:45 AM
- Michelle said...
Ooh oh! I'm first!
The first one kinda looks like somebody had fun with a Mr. Potatoe head toy... Maybe it's a "rockstar" Mr. Potatoe head with the crazy hair?
I'm not seeing a turkey though... - November 21, 2008 at 9:46 AM

The "eat me" one looks like a pile of poo someone put icing on to make a face.

If the last cake doesn't want to be eaten, he/she needs to have the flatulence hash marks like the previous cake. That should do it.

I was thinking that the third one would be kind of cute if it didn't look like a steaming pile.
Then I realized that even if it didn't, having a cooked turkey that was still looking at me would be really creepy. - November 21, 2008 at 9:54 AM
Did the first person not know they were supposed to be making a turkey? Or maybe someone did ask for a brown smiley face in a pile of leaves.

I don't often say something would look better headless, but maybe if the Eat Me turkey didn't have a head and resembled a turkey that ends up on the table it might be better...Maybe?

"Pretty soon bakeries are going to start "decorating" our loaves of bread, if we're not careful."
This has already started to happen Jen! The grocery store bakery I used to work at made Italian bread in the shape of pumpkins (with orange and green coloring and all!). They were actually pretty cute...when they turned out right. - November 21, 2008 at 10:20 AM
I caught your innuendo on that first cake, but my first thought was that it could also be a baked potato, which would be fitting for a holiday of eating :).

- Justine said...
Love the reference to "MilliWays At The End of the Galaxy" and the earlier reference to "Dr. Who"!
The cake with the "pumpkin orb" and flaming tail squirrels looks like it came from MilliWays too.
Of course "Eat Me" being the Addams Family reference from the fantastic scene where Puggsley sings and dances as a Turkey in the fall pagent.
Ooo, your blog is for Sci Fi WreckPorters too! Love it! - November 21, 2008 at 10:32 AM
- Dawn said...
Ummm... they forgot the CAKE part of the cake on the last one. Didn't they? Or is that brown blob of icing supposed to have a sliver of cake inside?
Hmmmm, how much would you pay for a blob of "shaped" icing? - November 21, 2008 at 10:34 AM

Ew. Is there actually any CAKE in that last one or is it just a pile of poo-brown icing?

I totally saw a flaming Mr. Potato Head too! The heat lines on the "Eat me!" cake also look strikingly similar to stink lines... are you sure that one isn't left over from Canadian thanksgiving?? Ewww.

I made a cake for DH's office party today and almost chose electrified squirrels, but decided that they probably wouldn't last the car trip. Now that I see what I narrowly avoided, I'm glad my reputation will stay intact.
- November 21, 2008 at 10:42 AM
That first "turkey" made my day. I laughed out loud, which is usually good...but it's a problem when you're in class haha
- November 21, 2008 at 10:45 AM
much less advocate your imbibing on its flesh
imbibe = drink. So unless you're intending to liquefy the turkey, you can't do that. ;) (Oh, and the 'on' is superfluous.) - November 21, 2008 at 10:47 AM
I must admit, I sort of love the 'eat me' turkey, but mostly because I think it would gross others out but not bother me. Of course, I also used to name my hamburgers right before biting into them and saying "mmmm" to mess with people, so that probably indicates that something is wrong with me.
The first and last cakes were definitely designed kindergarten flunkies and the flaming squirrel cake is bizarrely formal (not to mention poorly executed). - November 21, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Okay. I burst out loud in laughter when I saw the one without the tail feathers and the little "Fume" lines around it. Were you all thinking what I was? That maybe that bird had some "flammable gas incident" that left him featherless and charred. Poor thing..... shouldn't have stuffed himself with burritos.

I thought the first on was a perfect potato with flaming hair, a face and legs. And those "squirrels" do look like ROUSes with flaming tails. Maybe the decorator was into The Princess Bride?

It took me 5 minutes to figure out that what I saw as a pink ball of yarn with blue strings hanging from it on the second cake was indeed a pumpkin.

- November 21, 2008 at 1:17 PM
- Chelsea said...
I agree with Brianna--the first one looks more turkey-like if you think of the smile as a wing. Of course, that's assuming the torso can rotated independently of the head/feet...

On that first cake, the decorator seems to have mistaken the turkey's beak for his nose and given him an extra mouth so he can smile.
How sweet. - November 21, 2008 at 2:30 PM
Why are you hating on the first one? It's SO clearly the MacGyver Mr. Potatohead running out of an exploded building he was being held captive in. Thanksgiving is not until next week. It's MacGyver Mr. Potatohead appreciation day every day.

No, no, Mr. Potato Head isn't aflame. He's wearing one of those retro 'fros from the 1970s, and he's painted it in fall colors to celebrate the season.
I just want to stick a fork in him and see if he's done.

Nice! - November 21, 2008 at 3:10 PM
The, um, "spread-turkey" EAT ME brownie has sped past unintentional innuendo and taken the fast-track to dirty-minded suggestion. It recalls the worst line of dialogue in the most disconcerting context of the most jaw-droppingly terrible movie ever: when J.Lo in Gigli says "Gobble Gobble!"
- November 21, 2008 at 3:27 PM
That first one is Mr. Potato Head wearing a clown wig. Duh.
- November 21, 2008 at 3:57 PM

The first one: I think the curved yellow line was supposed to indicate the neck curve, but the decorator didn't understand what it was supposed to be and put the beak and eyes in the wrong place (and too big).
- November 21, 2008 at 6:59 PM

I think when you place a big pile of icing poo on a brownie and dress it up like a toxically flatulant turkey, you're required to write "eat me" on it. Otherwise, people might suspect your intent was the opposite. Besides, it comes off nicely as a dare at that point. :)

"electrified squirrels with blazing tails" = LMAO. They DO look like the end result of an encounter with an exposed power line.

Okay, I personally think that the first one looks more like a person with a Native American Headdress on...that is sort of fitting for Thanksgiving right??

I'd be quite impressed if one of my friends made the first one, but not by the professional baker who charged for it.
I think we need a Top Ten Things Cake Decorators Should Know list for Cake Wrecks. The list should include:
* It's spelled "Congratulations"
* Big brown blobs of icing just end up looking like poo.
* Quotation marks are for quoting
* If it could possibly be interpreted as looking like a penis, don't put it on the cake. - November 21, 2008 at 10:39 PM

I wonder whether the flaming squirrel cake was the result of a decorator knowingly finishing a cake wreck because they had already put in so much work and were essentially committed to seeing it through. That's really the only way it makes sense.

I am supremely offended that you would call that last cake a preschool art project. I teach 4 and 5 year olds and we have NEVER made somethings that looks that awful! Come to thnk of it, the two-year-olds down that hall haven't either!!

I dunno, I think all but the last one have a certain charm. I think though that generations of hand-turkeys create a sense of artistic forgiveness when it comes to turkeys

Adorable! Especially the first one! - November 22, 2008 at 11:35 PM
Awww! I just love the baked potato one. Of course, that's because I love drawings made by five year olds.
(I'm just going with that, and I don't want to hear that anyone over five had anything to do with it. : ) ) - November 23, 2008 at 12:01 PM

I just have to say this:
Today is the first time I've been to this blog. At first, I just bounced around. The horror took over and I began seriously click every "older posts" I came too. I must draw the line for today at this one. The overload has caused me to go into a fit of laughter that I couldn't stop, brought tears to my eyes, caused me to choke on my coffee, and had my daughter calling from the bathroom, "Mom, are you alright? Are you SURE you're o-kay?!! WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!!!"
See you again tomorrow! - January 21, 2009 at 8:21 AM

My second note: HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY LOVERS UNITE! Towels by our sides, we will go out into the world to prove once and for all that we are more than Mostly Harmless!
My last note: That brownie looks like it has a pile of poo on it. QUIT THE OVER-USE OF BROWN ICING! - March 7, 2009 at 9:08 AM
That first one is definitely a flaming (or flamboyant) potato. The "smile" is too centered and so are the eyes for that smile to be a wing or neck.
someone mentioned "turducken"--that's just cruelty to dead animals! ugh! the fact that "turd" is in the title says it all!
which brings me to the stinky poo pile with googly eyes brownie that says "eat me." Is this an insult cake? the fact that it looks like stinky poo and that it says "eat me" could really mean "eat sh--" no? (pardon the vulgarity!)
"toxically flatulant"--LOL
and to claim the electrified flaming squirrels are poorly executed. that sounds a little redundant--look at the formal posturing. maybe they ARE being executed by electricfication at the altar of the Great Pumpkin! poor little things....

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

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

Products must meet its requirements before they can be exported to Kenya – non-compliant goods will be denied entry.
After a tendering process and rigorous evaluation in January 2015, KEBS has appointed SGS to operate the PVoC program on its behalf in 18 regions, which confirms the leading role of SGS in PVoC Kenya.
Basic Features
- Goods imported into Kenya require a Certificate of Conformity (CoC)
- CoC is a mandatory clearance document for each consignment
- Goods exempted from the program are still subject to KEBS destination inspection
- Exporter is liable for any legal or economic consequences arising for goods shipped without the cover of a COC
- Responsibility of compliance lies with the supplier/exporter
Kenya's PVoC ensures goods meet mandatory safety, quality and security requirements, enables international trade, avoids delays in customs and reduces potential losses from the import of non compliant products. The key elements of a PVoC are:
- Physical inspection prior to shipment
- Sampling, testing and analysis in accredited laboratories
- Audit of product processes
- Documentary check of conformity to regulations
- Assessment of conformity to Kenyan Standards
With decades of experience managing conformity assessment programs around the world SGS offers exporters efficient and comprehensive solutions to ensure shipments conform to Kenya's requirements.

Ukraine's acting president says his nation's military has begun "an anti-terrorist operation" aimed at pushing armed pro-Russia demonstrators out of the government buildings in eastern Ukraine that they have occupied for several days.
The effort appears to have begun in the city of Slovyansk, NPR's Ari Shapiro said Tuesday on Morning Edition, though by early evening in Ukraine it was still unclear what — if anything — had happened. Reuters was reporting that "the crackdown has not been visible and government forces have not shown any readiness to storm occupied buildings." (Update from Reuters added at 10:15 a.m. ET.)
The Associated Press later reported that one of its reporters "saw at least 14 armored personnel carriers with Ukrainian flags, one helicopter and military trucks parked 24 miles north of Slovyansk on Tuesday. Other heavy military equipment appeared nearby, along with at least seven busloads of government troops in black military fatigues." (Update from AP added at 10:40 a.m. ET.)
Just before 11:30 a.m. ET, the AP added that "heavy gunfire" had been heard at an airport near the city of Kramatorsk. Two hours later, Reuters reported that acting President Oleksander Turchinov said that government forces were back in control of the airfield.
Ari reported from the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk, one of the places where the pro-Russia protesters have seized some government facilities.
As Ukrainian officials move to dislodge the pro-Russia demonstrators, Ari says, Russia's role in support of the protests "seems much more evident." In the town of Horlivka on Monday, Ari reports, after demonstrators took control of the mayor's office "a new commander introduced himself as a lieutenant colonel in the Russian army."
Ari also spoke to a woman from another Ukrainian town "who said the men guarding the barricades where she lives speak with Russian accents and do not know their way around the city."
As he notes, "Russia still denies orchestrating this, and many locals here will tell you that while there are Russians in the mix, a lot of the demonstrations do in fact reflect genuine sentiment from the people who live in Eastern Ukraine and lean toward Russia."
On Monday, President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone. The White House says Obama "expressed grave concern about Russian government support for the actions of armed, pro-Russian separatists who threaten to undermine and destabilize the government of Ukraine."
The Kremlin says that "in response to the president of the United States' expressed concern about Russia's supposed meddling in southeastern Ukraine, the president of Russia noted that such speculations are based on inaccurate information."
In a conversation on Tuesday with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Putin expressed alarm at the "highly volatile situation," in eastern Ukraine, according to Reuters. Ban, in a statement, related the telephone conversation, saying that he "underlined" for the Russian leader "that any deepening of the crisis would be profoundly detrimental for all concerned; hence the need for everyone to work to de-escalate the situation."
As we wrote Monday, there are fears about what may happen if there are clashes between Ukrainian forces and the demonstrators.
The Associated Press has noted that "Russia has warned the Kiev government against using force against the protesters in the east and has threatened to cancel an international diplomatic conference on the Ukrainian conflict scheduled for later this week." There are reportedly tens of thousands of Russian troops just across the border. Russia says they were conducting military exercises.
Last month, Russian forces moved into what was the Ukrainian-controlled Crimean Peninsula. Since then, Russia has annexed Crimea — an act that Ukraine, the U.S. and many other nations have deemed a violation of international law.

Limited Edition – DarkSide Engraved Heatkiller IV for AM4 Socket.
Made from enthusiasts for enthusiasts
- Now even more powerful: up to 3°C temperature decrease compared to its predecessor – thanks to a completely revised cooling structure
- Real high flow design: higher flow performance – thanks to bigger jet structure and receptacles
- Improved reliability: cooling structure without jet plate, jet directly integrated into the cooler now
- Mounting is a child's play: tool-free Easy-Mount-System
- Improved fittings compatibility: 16/10 and 19/13 fittings possible – thanks to a thread distance of 25mm
Water coolers from the HEATKILLER® CPU series are among the most popular and top-selling CPU water coolers. Ever since the launch of the first HEATKILLER® CPU water cooler in 2001, the series has been constantly improved and optimized. The HEATKILLER® IV presents the most extensive alterations, so far.
The focus of innovation was the new cooling structure. Finer micro fins greatly enlarge the contact surface of cooling liquid and cooler. Flow characteristics became optimized as well. These changes increased the cooling performance by up to 3°C compared to the predecessor. The flow efficiency benefits too supported by large-volume receptacles. The HEATKILLER® IV features a real high flow design, making it perfectly suitable also for lower performing pumps.
By the way, the new cooling structure completely does without a jet plate. This improves the cooler's reliability because less dust particles can accumulate within the cooling structure.
The HEATKILLER® IV also comes up with an improved feature set. This includes the comfortable Easy-Mount-System. After initial installation, the cooler can be mounted or de-mounted tool-free at any time without the need to dismount the mainboard as well. And the mounting brackets do now precisely define the contact pressure, thus mounting errors virtually do not appear.
If you prefer big fittings, you will be glad to hear of the enlarged distance between the G 1/4" threads – which is now 25mm. This makes the HEATKILLER® IV compatible with all common thread types, up to the size of 19/13.
The HEATKILLER® IV is a product "made in Germany", manufactured on state-of-the-art CNC machines at the Watercool headquarters.
Material: PLEXIGLAS® GS / PMMA (top), copper (bottom plate), polished stainless steel (brackets, inlay), nickel-plated brass ( Easy-Mount-System)
Dimensions (L x W x H): 66 x 59 x 17 mm
Weight: ca. 450 g
Sealing: NBR 70
Threads: 2x G ¼ inch (DIN ISO 228-1)
Thread distance: 25 mm
Socket compatibility AMD 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM2, FM2+, AM4

Introducing Driver Matic. In May 2007, PC Pitstop announced a revolutionary technology called Driver Matic. Driver Matic allows the installation of a driver with the click of a button. Prior to Driver Matic, all drivers had to be installed differently and required significant user involvement. Now with Driver Matic, a PC can have up to date drivers automatically. Driver Matic has been integrated into both PC Matic and Driver Alert 2.0. Driver Matic finally has made it simple and easy to keep your drivers up to date. Only at PC Pitstop.
Tips from the PitCrew
If a hardware device isn't functioning properly, or if a program or game that you're installing states that it requires newer drivers, a driver update will be in order.
Also, with many wireless adapters it is important to stay current as updates often contain security fixes. A driver update may also improve stability and performance, or may fix issues with games, programs and power management.
New drivers can unlock additional features for a device that may not have been available before. If you receive notification from a program or a manufacturer that a newer driver is available, it would be a good idea to check the release notes and see what's different than the driver you're already using.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing new requirements for labeling beef products that have been mechanically tenderized, including adding new cooking instructions, so that consumers can safely enjoy these products.
"Ensuring that consumers have effective tools and information is important in helping them protect their families against foodborne illness," said Under Secretary Elisabeth Hagen. "This proposed rule would enhance food safety by providing clear labeling of mechanically-tenderized beef products and outlining new cooking instructions so that consumers and restaurants can safely prepare these products."
To increase tenderness, some cuts of beef go through a process known as mechanical tenderization, during which they are pierced by needles or sharp blades in order to break up muscle fibers. Research has shown that this process may transfer pathogens present on the outside of the cut to the interior. Because of the possible presence of pathogens in the interior of the product, mechanically tenderized beef products may pose a greater threat to public health than intact beef products, if they are not cooked properly.
The proposed rule would require that mechanically tenderized product is labeled so that consumers know they are purchasing product that has been mechanically tenderized. The rule would also require the labels of mechanically tenderized product to display validated cooking instructions, so that consumers have the information they need to cook this product in a way that destroys illness-causing pathogens.
Since 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has received reports of five outbreaks attributable to needle or blade tenderized beef products prepared in restaurants and consumers' homes. Failure to thoroughly cook a mechanically tenderized raw or partially cooked beef product was a significant contributing factor in all of these outbreaks. In developing this proposed rule, FSIS used data from its own research, from the Agricultural Research Service, and from the CDC to determine the public health risk associated with undercooking mechanically tenderized products, and the benefits of the proposed rule.
The proposal was posted today on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations_&_policies/Proposed_Rules/index.asp and soon will publish in the Federal Register. The comment period will end 60 days after the proposal publishes in the Federal Register and must be submitted through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov, or by mail to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), FSIS, OPPD, RIMD, Docket Clearance Unit, Patriots Plaza III, Room 8-164, 355 E Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20024-3221. All items submitted by mail or electronic mail must include the Agency name and docket number, which will be assigned when it is published in the Federal Register.

It almost sounds like the decorator meant it to be really dirty, but someone "fixed" it by adding the roses over the dirty part. Yeah, that's it. That wasn't an obvious grammar mistake.

This seems borderline cannibalistic. Like the decorator had "I think your sweet to EAT!", but decided to cover the latter with dainty flowers in order to distract you.

I'm sorry, but would HAVE to tell the person behind the counter that the spelling & punctuation would need to be done over, correctly, before I bought the cake.
Then I'd probably have respond to "'Kay,whatever. What d'ya want changed?" - January 10, 2009 at 10:45 AM

- January 10, 2009 at 11:31 AM
What's so bad is, to most teenagers now, that would not be a mistake. They really do think that is the correct usage for "your". I see it all the time and it drives me CRAZY! They think they're using it correct, even if they were to go back and read it.
- January 10, 2009 at 11:31 AM
Okay, the your/you're issue drives me about as crazy as the potatoe salad thing (which luckily doesn't show up on cakes so much). But the border on this cookie is so uneven that it makes my teeth ache. And I'm pretty much an "close enough for government work" person.

Without people who don't know the difference between your and you're we all wouldn't have the opportunity to feel superior. I, for one, thank this cake wrecker.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com) - January 10, 2009 at 11:35 AM
I am really astounded that people are that stupid. People your and you're are NOT the same!!! The other one that gets me is there/their/they're. I mean come on it's not that hard, just turn on "your" brain and think!!!

- AsylumTanya said...
I actually saw this exact grammar mistake on a billboard close to my house growing up. It was a great teaching tool when it came time to teach this concept to my fifth grade students. They would laugh and laugh and then hopefully not make the same mistake themselves.
- January 10, 2009 at 11:53 AM
It took me forever to figure out what it said. My first thought was "yow sweet."
- January 10, 2009 at 11:53 AM
- Hyena Overlord said...
When did they stop teaching contractions in school? If you don't (do not) know or are in doubt, spell the whole thing out. And it looks much nicer than apostrophes on a pastry. Grammar is a main weak point with me but I do understand a few basics from School House Rock.
"I think you are sweet." Very reminiscent of the old style Valentine's.

Aw, that is tragic! Sans error, that cookie cake would be very adorable, but that grammar steals all the attention away from the cake's basic cuteness.

The border is really uneven, the roses aren't bad, but what are those green squigglies? Never seen squigglies with roses before. Grapes, maybe, but roses?...all that aside from the grammer error, the fact is, that if you are going to write on a cake...how about a handwriting class? Concept?

Is this an iced cookie? Kind of looks like one, but that might be the angle.
- January 10, 2009 at 2:24 PM
Did anyone else read that as "I think yowl sweet" ?
- January 10, 2009 at 2:28 PM
Ah! The children of "whole language" learning...where we threw out the phonics and spelling books and allowed them to spell how it sounded... are now entering the workforce. As a 1st Grade teacher, I cringed at the idea when it was introduced because I knew this was coming. At least the baker's self-esteem is intact because no one ever used a red pen to correct his/her spelling and grammar years ago.
- January 10, 2009 at 2:41 PM
Heh... I think they spelled "sweat" wrong. And then covered up something with the roses. Hoo-boy!
- January 10, 2009 at 2:59 PM

The sad thing is that 80% of the population would look at the writing on the cake/cookie and not even notice that there is a problem. In fact, if I had written "their is a problem" in the last sentence, they wouldn't notice that either.
And don't get me started on two/to/too or lay/lie or any of the other things that most people are ignorant about.
I should start a blog about signs at work that have grammatical errors. Probably some one out there already has a blog like that.
I come to your blog every day for a laugh. I even have started taking my camera to the grocery store so that I can find something to photograph to send in to you!

I would bet that the person who decorated this cake was getting paid minimum wage. Ergo "You get what you pay for." That or the spell check bounced!

I visit Myspace Bumper Stickers quite a lot, and if you think this is bad, you should see some of the bad grammar there. I have passed up many a funny sticker just because of the poor grammar. The American education system ought to be ashamed of itself!
- January 10, 2009 at 8:57 PM
The subject line echoes exactly how I respond to that particular mistake -- "my sweet what?" Then again, I was the girl that responded with "where?" when a boy asked me to "go" with him in sixth grade, knowing darn well he meant "go steady"!
Now, at a couple other readers...
@oldfartteacher -- "Whole language" worked well for my peers in the mid-1980s, based on the "get well soon" notes with accurate homonyms the class sent whenever I was in the hospital. However, my younger brother & maternal aunt/uncle were taught via phonics, and if they were bakers, their work would be on Cake Wrecks! ;o) After tutoring kids & adults struggling with school, though, I think that what works depends on how the person learns.
@Lauren -- Since comment areas on blogs are part of an informal dialogue (i.e. conversation), most of hers would be more acceptable as she's writing the way one would speak. Either way, there's a world of difference between noticing a basic spelling error and nit-picking conversational grammar based on style rules that haven't been taught in the last 30+ years. Sheesh. - January 10, 2009 at 9:57 PM

If only it had been done in blue roses with "me" instead of "I" and "you" instead of "yowl," it could have been a perfect Cookie Monster tribute.

I bought a cake out of a case for my FIL for his birthday. I asked the counterperson if they could put "Happy Birthday Ralph" on it. They said they could.
I shopped, came back for the cake, and on a whim opened it, and it said "Happy Birthday Ralf."
I asked her to correct it, I even spelled it for her. Got the cake back, took a peek, it said "Happy Birthday Raphl."
I gave it back a third time and WROTE out Ralph for her. She finally got it.
We both laughed and were good-natured about it, but only reinforces the theme of this whole blog to me.
And I hate when people say "quite" when they mean "quiet"; "loose" when they mean "lose"; and "alot" when they mean "a lot."
But then, that's why I majored in English in college. ;-) I enjoy fixing that stuff.

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

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

Treatment Methods
Dr. Mandel's practice provides a variety of surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are very conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary.
Many times, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Even in severe cases, non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical therapy. This is done to improve the overall tissue quality prior to surgery and also to help limit the areas requiring surgery.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The centerpiece of the new Harry Potter-themed area at Universal Orlando Resort will take visitors into Gringotts bank to help retrieve a magical object and re-create a scene from the wildly popular book and movie series.
Universal executives announced Tuesday that the ride will be called "Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts." It re-creates a scene from the final Harry Potter book and film.
"It takes you into one of the great moments of the fiction," said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative.
The ride and the themed area — called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Diagon Alley — will open in the summer. It will double the size of the Harry Potter landscape in the park.
Among the features of the new ride: a 60-foot dragon atop Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a labyrinth of Gringotts vaults, and a marble hall with goblins. Riders will be taken into a world as part of a quest to retrieve a magical object to defeat Lord Voldemort.
The ride will use 360-degree themed sets, digital high-definition animation, 3-D projection systems and live special effects.
Woodbury said the goal was to use new technology and intensely detailed storytelling to thrill Harry Potter fans and entice those who haven't read the books or seen the movies.
The new themed area will be located at Universal Studios Park. It will be tied to the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter area at Universal's Islands of Adventure via the Hogwarts Express train.
During the train ride, riders will spot characters and magical creatures from the book. Among them: Hagrid on a flying motorbike, the Weasley twins on brooms, and the Knight Bus in London traffic.
Universal's team worked with a group from the Harry Potter films on the new themed area.
If fans want to see both parks, a two-park ticket will be required. For adults, a two-park ticket for one day costs $136; for children, it costs $130.

California, according to recent budget numbers, is slowly recovering from its years of multi-billion dollar budget deficits. The state is on track to turn a $2.5 billion budget surplus at the end of the current fiscal year. But that's general fund money. It does not address another gaping deficit. The state owes almost $10 billion to the federal government for money spent on unemployment benefits.
NPR's Richard Gonzales reports.
RICHARD GONZALES, BYLINE: So how did California wind up owing the federal government $9.7 billion? Just ask Loree Levy, a spokeswoman for the California Employment Development Department. She says the recession, which at one point drove unemployment to a high of 12.4 percent, escalated the demand for benefits.
LOREE LEVY: And I think the overall demand just really hit hard in several states, including California, ended up in a situation where we have been borrowing from the federal government ever since.
GONZALES: When California's unemployment insurance fund dried up in January 2009, the state had to borrow $183 million from the feds. And the state kept borrowing more each year since then, which is why it will end this year $9.7 billion in debt. Meanwhile the state also owes interest on the money borrowed. So in the past three years, taxpayers have paid more than $870 million in interest payments, says Loree Levy.
LEVY: Those are big numbers.
GONZALES: And Levy says fixing the problem is no mystery.
LEVY: You can increase the contributions coming in from employers, you can decrease the amount going out to benefit recipients, maybe by altering your eligibility requirements, for example, or lowering the benefit amounts. Or you can do a combination of both things.
GONZALES: So far lawmakers have been unable or unwilling to do anything to get the bleeding under control, even though everyone in the capitol, business and labor, agree the system needs fixing. There are talks between the various parties, but as of now there are no formal proposals.
But some initial positions have been staked out. For example, the idea of raising taxes comes as employers are seeing a reduction in federal tax credits. That means employers are already paying a higher tax to pay down the debt, says Marti Fisher, a spokeswoman for the California Chamber of Commerce.
MARTI FISHER: It is increasing tax on employers at a time when the economic recovery is fragile. We need to be careful we don't impose high taxes on employers when they are trying to create jobs.
GONZALES: There are some proposals coming out of the business community to reduce unemployment benefits and change eligibility requirements. But those ideas are non-starters with labor.
ANGIE WEI: I think we're hard pressed to look at how do we take more out of the pockets of laid-off workers who are struggling every day, to try to keep their head above water.
GONZALES: Angie Wei is a lobbyist for the California Labor Federation.
WEI: On average, laid-off workers make $296 a week in UI benefits. I don't think anybody can argue that in California you can live on $1100 a month.
GONZALES: This debate comes as the state's Employment Development Department is plagued with a host of other problems, such as an unreliable call center, late benefit payments and a balky computer system.
CURT HAGMAN: You know, right now it doesn't look good for us.
GONZALES: Curt Hagman is a Republican and vice chair of the Assembly Insurance Committee.
HAGMAN: The easiest way to stop the bleeding on this is to get more people employed and less people on the benefits.
GONZALES: But state officials say California's the deficit is so large the system won't self-correct, that even better economic times won't generate enough money to pay back federal government without major reforms to the system.

Vince Young involved in training-camp scrum: He's throwing the punches, which isn't the best move for your QB. But I like his fight! (No pun intended.)
Vick Watch: Does Donovan McNabb REALLY want to be going on the record as supporting Michael Vick?
Randy Moss is going to be devastatingly awesome for the Pats... if his hamstring holds up.
Wellington John Mara tells Michael Strahan to cram it with walnuts, ugly. (If Wellington Mara was telling Strahan anything, it would have been much bigger news, obviously, given that it would have been some sort of Strahan Seance.)
Fantasy Watch: Between Frank Gore's hand and Willie Parker's knee and Clinton Portis' rehab, what's a mid-round fantasy GM to think?!
YOU design Chad Johnson's future TD dance: Now THIS is a brilliant idea from Yahoo Sports. Hat-tip to Y! (And
Another day, another scandal: This one crosses over into that mind-bogglingly corrupt one where colleges and lenders colluded, via kickbacks, to screw over students looking for loans.
It now seems (via the Washington Post) that student-athletes were sold out by their institutions to these student loan lenders. Schools involved in subpoenas range from Georgetown to Virginia Tech to "Auburn, Georgia Tech, Marquette, Oregon St, Rutgers, Texas Christian, UCLA, Kansas, Louisville, Oregon, Pittsburgh and South Florida," according to the WaPo.
Let me say this: Any school that engaged in this sort of tactics should be punished, perhaps even their athletic programs. The NCAA has no purview over this, but if their mission at all is about the welfare of the "student-athlete," this is something they too should look into. I won't hold my breath.
Johnny Damon is griping about playing time: Gee, who didn't see that coming? Yankees fan or not, raise your hand if you'd rather have Shelley Duncan in the lineup over Johnny Damon. Thank you. (Meanwhile, the Yankees are 2 games behind the Indians for the Wild Card. With 55 games left to play? Wow, that didn't take long to go from "season over!" to "won't bet against them.")
CFB: Just in time for the close of Big Ten Media Day(s), the Northwestern football blogger Lake the Posts reveals his No. 1 NU football moment of all time. It's a no-brainer: NU over Notre Dame on Sept. 2, 1995. I couldn't agree more: This was, arguably (or inarguably) the biggest regular-season upset in modern college football history. Re-live the glorious moment here.
NBA schedule out today: Get all your jokes out now about bookies circling special dates... all done? Good. Here's an intriguing one: Kevin Durant vs. Carmelo Anthony in the season opener. I love it: Remember, Carmelo WAS Durant... except Melo actually managed to carry his team to an NCAA title, while Durant couldn't even lift his out of the Tournament's first weekend.
Sports tickets: MLB does a deal with StubHub. Don't discount how huge this is. They used to be at war with each other. Now they'll collaborate. I think business schools call it "coopetition."

What is an Appendicectomy? Appendicectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix when it becomes infected or inflamed. The appendix is an organ that is finger-shaped and extends from the initial portion of the large intestine. Appendicitis may produce symptoms like abdominal pain located around the navel and lower right region of the abdomen. You may also experience symptoms like fever, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite if you have appendicitis. It becomes life-threatening when an infected appendix may become perforated which will cause it to leak and infect the whole abdomen. Appendicitis is difficult to diagnose among children, elderly patients and women. The doctor will conduct some tests to confirm if the symptoms are caused due to appendicitis. The results of these tests will determine if an Appendicectomy is required. However, an Appendicectomy is normally done as an emergency surgery if the patient has acute appendicitis. How is Appendicectomy performed? There are 2 methods used to perform Appendicectomy:
