cakewrecks_feedThere are few things in this world that can be stated with absolute certainty, but two of them are:
(By Jen's Party Cakes)
1) This polar bear is freakin' adorable...
and
(By CMNY Cakes)
2) These penguins ROCK!
Well, if penguins and polar bears are so great separately, doesn't it follow that they'd be even better together?
"But, wait!" someone will say, "You can't put polar bears and penguins together! They're from different poles! They are, in fact, polar opposites."
Well, someone -- can I call you "someone?" -- I say if we can put a man on the moon, then we can find a way to get these kids together!
We just need to find a mode of transportation.
Maybe the penguins could hitch a ride with an orca:
...or grab the tail of a bright blue whale:
(By Cakes by Maylene)
A jolly gentleman with a recently emptied sleigh might stop by with friends and take a few penguins home for a visit:
Or perhaps this cool chick will take a wrong turn using Apple Maps and stumble into a penguin colony:
(By Choccywoccydoodah)
Of course, if you think it might be too hard to get a polar bear to pull a sled full of penguins, we could always ask some sled dogs:
Who knows? They might be tired of running around Alaska.
But maybe we're being too complicated. The penguins could just hop a ship:
(By Charm City Cakes)
They wouldn't even have to dock. Just pull up alongside a handy iceberg!
(By Highland Bakery)
...and voilá!
See, now that I've explained how we could make this work, it's not all that far-fetched, is it?
So the next time you find yourself taking a little vacation way up north...
(By Nice Icing)
...and you see this gang hanging out together:

Chillax. It's totally cool.
May your Sunday be super cool!

"ZOMBIE PENGUIN!"
"THEY'RE COMING!"
"Oh, thank goodness we found you, Santa! ....Santa?"

And from my other blog, Epbot:
cakewrecks_feedIf you want a simple theme for a baby shower, it's hard to go wrong with cute little footprints.
Unless the baker misses the "little" part, of course:
Good grief, MY feet are smaller than that. Are you trying to give the mom-to-be a heart attack, bakers?
'Cuz if so, this is also an excellent way to go about it:
"Suddenly Nicola's plans for a natural, drug-free delivery seemed really, really stupid."
And how's the kid even fitting in there, Nicola? Do you have a TARDIS belly? o.0
Oh, wait, or maybe the kid is shaped like this:
On the plus side, he probably won't fall over much.
But we were talking about footprints, weren't we?
Which might be what these are supposed to be. Maybe. Allegedly.
Hey, ever wanted to see a duck with human feet that only walks backwards?
Well, tough. You're going to see one anyway:
Embrace the insanity.
And then waddle backwards with it.
"Sadly, little Mike's dream of becoming a professional dancer came with a slight disadvantage:"
And here I thought that was just a figure of speech.
Of course, the absolute creepiest thing you can do with a footprints shower theme is mistake "footprints" for actual feet:
Somewhere a quartet of elves is literally foot-loose and fancy-free*.
And probably pissed.
*If by "fancy" you mean "feet."
Thanks to today's arch-enemies [smirk] Layli S., Arlene P., Linda A., Gianna M., Anony M., Melissa B., & Becca H. for the sole-full feets.

"You guys, snap out of it!"
"I'm...I'm scared, Gill."

Thanks to wreckporters Susan M., Abby G., Amber K., Becky L., Jesse D., Madi L., Sara M., and Tammy H. & Melanie D., who sent in separate reports of the same frog. I love it when that happens! My wrecky minions are everywhere - EVERYWHERE! Muah-ha-haaa!

If you know someone who loves frogs, maybe skip the wreck and get them this instead:

cakewrecks_feedI grew up on old-school Doctor Who, back when it aired on PBS Friday nights. My first convention ever was a Doctor Who event - where John Pertwee patted my head - and just a few years ago I received a side-hug from my favorite Doctor, Peter Davison. [Still squeeing over that, btw.] So yeah, you could say the good Doctor and I go back a ways.
So today I thought we'd celebrate all things timey-wimey with the ultimate Best-Of cake mix sure to make your knees wibbly-wobbly. Ready? Allons-y!
(By Nerdache Cakes)
Much as I adore Tigger, I'm kinda bummed I can't make a "Doctor POOH" joke here. But that's ok; Piglet in a homemade Dalek costume MORE than makes up for it.
And speaking of Daleks:
(By Stacked Cakes)
WOW.
The 'net is full of so many fantastic TARDIS cakes, it's hard to narrow down the best ones.
Actually, I take that back; this one wasn't hard to narrow down at all:
(By Leigh Henderson of theyrecoming.com)
This cake (yes, it's cake!) is fitted with mirrors and lights to make it actually look bigger on the inside.
Here's a peek inside the window:
Time for a cookie break!
(By Cookie Cowgirl)
Daleks in party hats. YESSS.
And who's the cutest widdle alien fat particle of all time?
(Found here, baker unknown)
IT'S YOU!
(No, not YOU you. I mean the adipose. Um. Awkwarrrd.)
As a Classic Who girl, these guys were always my favorite villains:
(By Truly Scrumptious Designer Cakes)
Still can't get over how cute she managed to make a Cyberman look, though. I seriously want that cake in doll form!
And now for something a little steamy:
If you think about it, Steampunk and Doctor Who really are a match made in the heavens, am I right?
And while we're talking TARDISes TARDI TARDIS cakes, I love the galaxy airbrushing on this one:
(Made by Claudia's Cakery)
It takes a lot to fool me with cake these days, but this next one did. I *still* have a hard time believing it's not a wooden model:
(Found here)
Even if you've only watched Doctor Who since the reboot, I bet you still have a soft spot for Tom Baker:
(By Border City Cakes)
It's all about the scarf, right? And the crazy hair.
(I'm, uh, glad the baker went with the scarf, though. o.0)
And another excellent contribution from the original show:
(By Imaginative Icing)
K-9!
Sometimes you see a fan-built K-9 rolling around at conventions, and I so want one.
Even though I grew up on the show, I'm ashamed to admit I have a LOT of catching up to do with the new episodes. (Too many were making me cry!) I will catch up, though - I WILL.
Anyway, if you're in the same boat - or if you've never seen ANY episodes and just want to know what all the fuss is about, then at least watch the episode "Blink." It's quite possibly the best episode of any sci-fi show EVER, and stands alone just fine.
Plus, after you watch that, you'll know why everyone else is about to flinch away from their screens in terror:
(By the cake girl)
BOO!
Muahahahaha! :D
Ok, one more, just so we can end on a less petrifying [smirk] note:
(By Michelle Sugar Art)
Woohoo! It's a WHO-bilation!
(In my mind Doctor Seuss & the Doctor are friends, so that totally works.)
Happy Sunday, my fellow Whovians, and have a Sweet weekend!

P.S. I've been shopping for the best Christmas lights to hang outside this year, and I think you'll like what I bought:
BrizLabs Color-Changing Christmas Lights
This is a 115 feet of LED lights, which you can change from warm white to multi-color to any combination of the two! They have 11 different settings like "slo-glow" and "breathing," a remote control, and even built-in timers. All for $27! This is the best price for the most features I've found, plus they have great reviews, which is a must for me.
John & I installed 3 strands of these beauties last weekend, and they. are. GORGEOUS. Highly recommend.

cakewrecks_feedIt's only three weeks 'til Christmas, bakers. Quick! THROW PLASTIC CHRISTMAS FLOTSAM ON EVERYTHING!
Oh come on, man. PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!
That's better.
Now, go make some cupcake cakes {PATOOIE!} that defy all laws of logic and common sense. DO EEET!
Yessss, and use sprinkles instead of colored icing! GENIUS!
I don't know what's happening here, but I like where your head's at.
Ok, now make a Christmas King Cake, because it's been WAY too long since those things got me in trouble:
Of COURSE you can still use the purple sprinkles and little plastic baby, silly! It's a King Cake! But for Christmas! AND THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE!
Now pass the eggnog, and let's go flash people on the street with our ugly Christmas sweaters for tinsel!
WHOAH THERE, St. Nick. I said flash our sweaters!
And you call yourself a saint. REALLY.
Thanks to Daisy B., Andrea J., Ginny V., Lizz, Holly H., & Christine V. for the cup of holiday HELLOOOOOO, Santa.

cakewrecks_feedFriends, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a moment and wax poetical about the world's somewhere-between-17th-and-52nd best education system.
You see, here in the States we learn everything we need in life, from the very basics:
(The difference between an apple and a bell pepper is more advanced.)
...to spelling and punctuation:
...to those oh-so-vital math skills.
We also have more advanced studies of the human, um... whatever this is:
I'm pretty sure that's butt stuff.
Here we're encouraged to keep writting(s?):
...to keep our stars shinning:
...and to always enhance that one student's mind's 2013:
That one's a little confusing, I'll grant you.
Because here in the US we honor our honor stundels:
...encouraging them to Imagin a world where they can Acheive their dreams:
A world where, say, all you have to do is copy little plastic signs for a living.
...from the very beginning of the school year:
...to the bitter(sweet?) end.
Yay.
Thanks to Janel J., Anony M., Kate B., Brittany J., Juli K., Anony M., Linda R.., Rae L., Tanya, Janica C. & Laura B. for the education.

P.S. Because I bet we could all use a drink after that:
"Santa's Flask" Stocking Booze Dispenser
This stocking can hold an entire bottle of wine! Better get two.
