cakewrecks_feedThere's 104 days of summer vacation
And school comes along just to end it
So the annual problem for our generation
Is finding a good way to spennnnd it...
And what better place to spend your summer vacation than at the beach? Phineas and Ferb obviously agree, and who can argue with those guys?
So snap open your lounge chairs and get ready to enjoy today's beachy-keen sweets. Starting with this lovely:
Ahhh. I actually feel more relaxed just looking at this. How people can bring themselves to eat these exquisite creations, I'll never undersand.
And you're going to love this collection of underwater friends...
By amateur baker Kristina H.
and anemones.
Let's all wave hello to this next one...

'cuz I hear it brings good tidings!
(Ok, ok, I'm sorry about all the beach puns. No matter what I do they just keep rolling in. But seriously, isn't this cake swell?)
Now here's a tasteful take on a beach-themed wedding cake:
By Sheryl Brou
I love that they didn't go overboard.
(Sea what I did there?)
(Ugh, I'm sorry! I'm even annoying myself now. I'll try to reel it in.)
Here's a sweet little seahorse. I think it's totally cute:
Water you thinking a boat it?
Sorry! I can't help it. I'll just go with the flow.
Like the tiny pearl bubbles floating along the gentle waves of this cake. Simply buoy-tiful.
And I love the graduating colors of fondant here, and the dusting of "sand:"
Tangent time: I once had a good friend who enjoyed eating actual sand. Turns out she was deficient in some essential mineral. Which was a relief, since we were about to take her to the lagoony bin.
It's a shore bet she would have loved this sand castle cake though:
The "sand" is crushed Nilla wafers, should you care to recreate this look for yourself or a loved one who does not enjoy eating actual sand.
There's so much goodness in this next sandy scene, how shell I ever pick a favorite?
I love the pinwheels and the tiny picnic in the corner.
Oh, and the embossed pattern on the mini tablecloth! Great little detail.
This final cake is so incredible and realistic you'll swear it's alive. I squid you not.
By Avalon Cakes
Wow, that sucker is beautiful!
(Specifically, the third one from the bottom.)
Whale, I hope you got your fill of beach-themed sweets (and puns) today. I'm sure you're clamoring for more, but that should tide you over for a while!
Happy Sunday!

P.S. If you actually go to the beach, then clearly you need a mesh tote bag that's in such high demand they couldn't even get one for the photoshoot, and had to photoshop it in (badly) later:
Oh yeah, bad Photoshop is how you know it's good. Well, that, and the 2,000+ 5-star ratings. Turns out this thing is actually pretty awesome, and also comes in blue, gray, or white. Grab yours before the manufacturer tries to snatch it up for another photoshoot.

Play It Again, Donkey!
cakewrecks_feedToday's Wreck is so unrecognizable I figured I better give you as many clues as possible before showing it to you.
Clue #1: He's big, green, and lives in a swamp.
Clue #2: He's a cartoon ogre.
Clue #3: His name is Shrek.
Clue #4: He looks like this:
Ok, have you guessed who it is yet?
'Cuz here comes the Wreck!
(Choo choo!)
AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!!
Ahem.
Ok, so it's shiny, toothy, and has a homicidal glint in its dead, dead eyes.
On the other hand, now we know what would happen if the Incredible Hulk and Sloth from the Goonies ever had a love child. Right, Michelle Y.?
*****
P.S. What do you get when you combine a twenty year old movie with a ten year old saying?
Pure punny gold, that's what:
Check Yourself Before You Shrek Yourself Shirt
That'll do, Donkey. That'll do.
(Also comes in purple and gray!)

8 Cakes For Completely Inappropriate Occasions
cakewrecks_feedI'm a firm believer in celebrating just about everything with cake, and from the submissions you guys send in I'm clearly not the only one. However, there's celebrating, say, a new vasectomy or Daddy's parole, and then there's the stuff that some people might consider, well, inappropriate cake material.
Not me, of course. No sir! Heck, I say, you wanna get pregnant? Then SAY IT WITH CAKE:
Or you're happy you DIDN'T get pregnant? Say THAT with cake.
Let's say your friend Cory suffered a nasty seizure recently. That warrants a cookie cake, right?
(Remember, kids: It's "i before e except after c." Except in the word "seizure.")
And remember that time your friend lost a finger to the lawn mower? Just in case he doesn't, let's remind him! With cake!
I like how this is less a "get well" cake, and more an "IN YOUR FACE! With love from the Lawn Mower" cake.
Driving while intoxicated is a serious crime, so be sure to tell your friends you won't stand for such behavior. Also with cake.
I like to imagine the candles are mini breathalyzers.
(How cool would that invention be? Right? I'll make millions. MILLIONS, I say!)
The world is too success-oriented. We should be sending a better message to younger generations. A message that says, "Hey, no matter what, at least you'll get a cake out of this."
Dangit. Why don't I know any lady farmers to give this to? WHY?!
(PS - You misspelled "Awesome." But I'll let it slide, because melons.)
And finally, my favorite:
Hang on... we get cake for that?
WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!
Thanks to Anony M., Katelyn, KG, Paul S., Paige S., April B., & Stephanie K. for the inspiration.

P.S. That reminds me of my Wonder Womb DIY, but if you're not feeling crafty you can buy this!
"Ivy the Plush Uterus"
I'm told "Ivy" is a play on "In Vitro," but I still say Baron Stabby McCrampus of Bloodhaven is a more appropriate moniker.
