Wreck the Halls finally arrived at our library, and we finished it the day we brought it home. For our 10th anniversary my husband & I will be renewing our vows and I get to redo my cake.After laughing our way through Cake Wrecks, The Girl (age 11) and I knew we had to read Jen Yates’ second book of professional cake disasters. I DO have to say, though, that the cake was quite delicious. What could I do? I laughed it off, of course. EVERY eye was on me waiting for the fallout. Then, when we had been seated, he broke the news to me. I couldn't understand why my husband kept twirling me around! It was odd to say the least. After the ceremony, we entered the reception and straight into our first dance. While I was getting dressed, the event coordinator brought this debacle to the attention to my groom. But, the one thing I spent A LOT of $$ on and it turned out to be the worst product I purchased. It still KILLS me that the ONE thing from my wedding I could control went SO terribly wrong! A beautiful wedding on the beach in Mexico.

At least then the wreck wouldn't have cost them a penny! (Heck, I probably would told them to buy a castle cake topper styrofoam can shed particles & how could you ice it separately & then stick on the cake? I think not, which means everyone received a little extra fiber in their cake that night! :-) Styrofoam, really?! I coulda done that & I wouldn't have charged my friends a thing. She *may* (or may not.think it's the latter) have taken the low bidder, but the wreckerator did promise something "equally beautiful" and then failed to fully follow instructions, which proves that said wreckerator wasn't paying much attention to details in the first place.or just didn't care. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm heading to the bunker before more posters start blaming the bride again. She works so much harder on Star Wars fan fic and her occasional Cake Wrecks post that I'm tempted to write the Tx Dept of Education and suggest their use as test writing prompts. Oops! Forgot to give a thumbs up to Haiku Joy!! Hang in there with those student papers! -) I won't torture you with The Daughter's latest response to a practice STAAR test writing prompt.
