Karen's notes: Sorry about yesterday, guys. Our internet was down all day.

We did not have any cake yesterday, although I did mention cake. Of course, I mention cake every day-- I love cake. If I talked in my sleep, I would probably talk about nothing but cake.

Speaking of cake, I want to take this opportunity to tell you all about the lovely cakes that Adam makes for his children's birthdays every year. I think they're wonderfully executed. This year, he did an aircraft carrier on the ocean for his 9-year-old and a rain forest scene for his 6-year-old. I'm going to go find some images and add them.

Added later: Here are the ones I could track down. I had BETTER NOT see any of these on Cake Wrecks later:


those are licorice reins and a marshmallow eyeball!


that's the rainforest scene. The alligator pond is my favorite part.


Roar!

    I also love cake, and am often attacked by psychic/jedi cakes. The only way I eat eggs if if they're disguised as cake.

    Glad everything is ok and yesterday's absence was due to a 'technical fault'. I was quite worried for a while there.

    My kids want t-shirts. They asked how much the shirts cost. I replied, "I don't know what their cakes cost." The kids said, "Oh no, the cake is working its Jedi mind tricks on you!" They'd like to see today's first quote on a shirt.

    (Fierce momma growl) "Who said you could eat cake for breakfast?"
    "Daddy MADE us eat cake! We wanted cereal!" (or something similar... going on memory)

    That "Jedi mind-tricks" isn't Obi-Wan's inflection - it's how Jabba the Hutt says it in "Return of the Jedi". He mostly speaks Huttese, but uses the phrase "old Jedi mind-trick" when he rebukes Bib Fortuna, his Twi'lek majordomo, for bringing Luke Skywalker to him early in the film, because Skywalker had used the force to manipulate Fortuna's mind.

    The cakes are great!

    I thought of the Cosby skit too - "Well, there's flour and eggs and milk... all good ingredients for a balanced breakfast..."

    Of course, the main idea was that he would never be asked by the mother to get up early and feed the chilluns breakfast ever again....

    Those cakes are great, but mostly what has happened is a craving for Cadbury's Flakes (used for the tree trunks in the rain forest cake). As a Brit in the USA I have my sources for these kinds of UK treats, but they are expensive and I have to limit myself.

    Adam's talent is very impressive.

    My parents married very young (because there was a war going on and that made people romantic--it is a hormonal thing). As a bratty teenager, I used to tell people that they married each other so they could eat cake for breakfast and there wouldn't be any grownup to stop them.

    Please go to CafePress.com and make a CakeADoodle Tshirt! I think a clock with silly cartoon hands and different cakes as the numbers would be cute. Like a vanilla frosted cupcake where the 1 should be, a sheet cake where the 2 should be, a layered cake where the 3 should be, a choco frosted cupcake where the 4 should be, a weeding cake where the 5 goes, etc. And underneath that, put the saying.

    Then for the Jedi cake, have a cupcake with a Jedi outfit and the saying. I would SOOOO buy those in a heartbeat!
