House of Collinsworth: I'm so sorry for your gloss and glad you were comfortable sharing your story hear. I'm glad you were able to have a happy memory from that day and can acknowledge a wreck for what it is! I started reading your blog and found the part linking to your friend (the baker's) blog. I looked at the baker's website and she really does have some amazing cakes! I'm not saying this cake isn't a wreck, because as beautifully done as it is, it will always be a "butterfly and sperm" cake. However, check out her other great work: http://sugarandspicesweets.blogspot.com/Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-31851394815288137012011-07-01T14:13:12.499-04:002011-07-01T14:13:12.499-04:00House of Collinsworth:

If that's true, that's sad. However, that doesn't mean this isn't a cake wreck. Wrecks are unintentionally funny, weird or sad cakes which were intended to be something else. And balloons have a long-standing tradition here of being made fun of. The sad story doesn't make the cake any less wrecky; if anything, it makes it more wrecky.Greenwickhttp://greenwickpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-27055921929262496342011-07-01T11:52:26.632-04:002011-07-01T11:52:26.632-04:00@Sally -I LOVE your poem!
