It almost looks like fondant or marzipan or some other shaped something-or-other. Mostly because they all look like cheap knock-offs, but in the same style. It's still too much going on for one cake, but at least that would be more impressive than slapping a bunch of toys on the top.A.

The picture was cute, but the photo is a disappointment! I recently told some friends about your website and the header picture at cakewrecks.com. They are parents of a baby boy who is the spitting image of the cute picture babies, so I thought they would enjoy it. However, is was a shock to see the not-so-cute plastic knockoff instead. Can you change your header back to the cute picture babies? Thanks -- and especially for the hours of hilarity that our family has enjoyed on your website. Our preteen drags me, her dad, and any other willing family members to the computer at regular intervals to enjoy the show. --Annette Olsen, Houston, TXannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950016274314321261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-50816656948369709502010-11-30T10:10:29.472-05:002010-11-30T10:10:29.472-05:00I really like the cat one, and how the frosting ba...I really like the cat one, and how the frosting balls of yarn turn into the border...Dalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-43202943416030648992010-11-30T10:00:34.133-05:002010-11-30T10:00:34.133-05:00At the grocery store where I work, we got a new he...At the grocery store where I work, we got a new head of bakery in corporate who insisted that we had TOO MUCH INVENTORY. We needed to offload some NOW! (She's not entirely the brightest bulb in the box, seeing as you do need some inventory to be able to decorate ...but I digress.) So we said, "Fine", through plastered on smiles and proceeded to pump our cakes with so much plastic we were fairly throwing it on by the handfuls. The cakes and cupcakes looked ridiculous on purpose as a sort of "take that" to our manager, and we did get the inventory down to a "manageable" level and she we happy, so, I guess, mission accomplished? Saddest part is that she whole-heartedly approved of our plastic monstrosities. She called them "fun".Stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-71655547105569461892010-11-30T04:50:20.160-05:002010-11-30T04:50:20.160-05:00Way to go, @Isolder74!

Yes, and the door is most definitely frosting. But for all I know it could be stucco. <br /><br />For instance, I shouldn't have to have instruction on how to disassemble the cake before I'm allowed to eat it. In the words of a famous robot "No disassemble! NO!"<br /><br />Note on last cake: To successfully ingest cake please read instructions carefully. <br /><br />(please see diagram)<br /><br />To eat cake:<br /><br /><b>Step 1:</b> Remove parts <i>a1, a2, a3, a4,</i> and <i>a5</i>. Please keep parts away from children under 5. <br /><br /><b>Step 2:</b> Remove part <i>b</i>. Set to the side. <br /><br /><b>Step 3:</b> Carefully remove parts <i>c3</i> and <i>c4</i> before attempting to remove parts <i>c1</i> and <i>c2</i>. If you notice structural stability of cake is questionable leave parts <i>c1</i> and <i>c2</i> attached and eat around. <br /><br /><b>Step 4:</b> Please remember to remove part <i>d</i>. note: some purple frosting (occasionally all purple frosting) will peal or fall as a result of removing part <i>d</i>. This is normal. I you wish to keep frosting on during consumption please leave part <i>d</i> on though only if there are no children under 5 present. <br /><br /><i>Disclaimer: Cake only contains frosting on those parts visible. Price tag is impossible to remove. We suggest a purple sharpie. All purchases non-refundable.

I live in a basement apartment where I usually don't have good access to the upstairs kitchen most of the time. <br /><br />That being said I do have ready access to the kitchen in my brother's house. What I have done is take Plastic Food Trays that I've either saved from frozen dinners or gotten from a restaurant supply store, and made my own frozen dinners. Not to long ago, I made my own chicken fried steak dinners using a round roast, potatoes and frozen carrots and managed to make 14 ready to reheat meals at about $10 in total costs of ingredients. <br /><br />What makes them even better is in these meals I control how much salt or anything else ends up in my food. I still get the convenience, at the cost of a busy weekend, and better food quality to boot. <br /><br />Not too bad if I say so myself.Isolder74https://www.blogger.com/profile/12223361066757591327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-76114696657657396712010-11-29T21:17:07.980-05:002010-11-29T21:17:07.980-05:00Maybe my most favorite post ever!
