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.
ReplyDeleteGlad everything is ok and yesterday's absence was due to a 'technical fault'. I was quite worried for a while there.
photos of cake. yes please. and can i put my order in?
ReplyDeleteRochelle xx
Do it Karen pleeeease! I want to see Adam's cakes.
ReplyDeleteloving the obi-wan inflection too!
ReplyDeleteCake-a-doodle-doo It's cake for breakfast, on a shirt please! RIngtone wouldn't be bad either. Oh yes, the Obi-Wan inflection was wonderful Adam! Didn't know you did impressions in your sleep. How talented sleep talkin man is!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I'm glad everything is okay! It's actually nerve wracking not knowing what's going on heh.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Yes, pics please!
Third, lmao...did you call 911 or what was it over there...999?? he kinda clucked like a chicken, oh wait, no, he did a rooster thing, that's safe lol.
Hmm...wonder if Adam is craving cake for some/no reason :-)
.
Oh yes, and the Star Wars reference is AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteCakadoodle-doo cake for breakfast needs a shirt for sure.
ReplyDeleteHalf the time you make me laugh as much as STM does, Karen:
ReplyDelete"Of course, I mention cake every day-- I love cake. If I talked in my sleep, I would probably talk about nothing but cake." LOL!
Totally love the Jedi reference and Obi-Wan tone.
Happy 4th of July! I just read your about section on your blog. It was lovely to learn more about you! I'm so glad you guys got back together after so many years :) You should make a movie haha
ReplyDeleteMmmmm - I love cake too - what a small world! lol
ReplyDeleteYour comments Karen totally reminded me of my girlfriend telling me about her wedding dress, "It makes me look like Cake, and I Looove cake!" her tone was just too cute for words!
Pics of Adam's creations would be awesome!
Have a great day and Let us all eat cake!
THE CAKE IS A LIE!
ReplyDeleteOh lovely! Cake for breakfast! What a wonderful idea! Wish I had have thought of it before I ate all that bacon! Oh well!
ReplyDeleteHEY!!! Cake for LUNCH!!!!!
"CAKE-A-DOODLE-DOOoo!"
ReplyDelete- doodley decorated/written would be a great T!!! and such a great quote with ADAM's decorating touches!
( has it ever happened, or have you ever posted any kinds pictures to cake wrecks, a fav site?)
i love cake too; plus strawberry shortcake ice cream on the side.
Go Cake-o-Clock!
I will arrange a birthday for myself next week if your husband could do a cake for me...
ReplyDeleteJuly 4th, Celebrate, with C-A-K-E !!!!
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby had the idea for cake for breakfast in his "Bill Cosby Himself" routine. This just made me chuckle a bit. Adams definantly needs to be on a t-shirt too!
ReplyDeletephotos of the cake, please? :3
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 16:27 mentioned Bill Cosby before I could!
ReplyDelete"Dad is great! Gave us the chocolate cake!"
(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)
Could combine "Cake o'clock" on the front and "Cake o doodle doooo" on the rear!
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.
ReplyDeleteThe cakes are great!
ReplyDeleteI 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....
I love cake. I just had some for breakfast and it was wonderful. I would eat cake daily if I could.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this blog. I usually start out my day with some STM and it starts my day with a laugh.
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.
ReplyDeleteThose cakes should be on Cake Wrecks, but during her Sunday feature, "Sunday Sweets" where it shows off the good/impressive ones. Adam's kids are lucky to have a dad to put that kind of effort into their cakes.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely!! So cool. :) Artistic AND yummy.
ReplyDeleteTo be posted on Cake Wreaks you have to be a professional baker, or work in a bakery. But, I must admit that is the first thing i thought of when I saw the horse. Lol. Love the blog!
ReplyDeleteWow! Those cakes look awesome!!! WTG Adam!
ReplyDeleteThese are phenomenal! Yeah. My birthday is next week now. Can I send a drawing of what I have in mind? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI think you should him watch family guy something something something darkside.
ReplyDeleteOn BBC 3
ReplyDeleteThe cake's are lovely! And we gave 4 children 6-8 years old chocolate pudding cake one year when our kids were small. ANd them we put them in cars for 2 hours on our way to a beach. Car rides weren't so much fun, but they sure had fun at the beach!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cakes!! I just love that Adam makes his kids special cakes! What a Dad!
ReplyDeleteAll warm and fuzzy now =D
Happy Independence Day, Karen! So sorry you lost day, Adam! BTW those cakes are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteAdam - do you have an older brother? I would be willing to move across the pond.
ReplyDeleteNice touches Adam!...the kids must be in cake-awe-struck with surprise, with what he will come up with each time, creatively baking it only to be gobbled up and awee it goes, taking off, riding out, galloping and darting away down the chimney!
ReplyDelete(cookies'n cake combo one day, dunked with hot ice cream balls, dream fusion?)
Super cool cakes Adam, you are a true artist. Mmmmm cake for breakfast as well, yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and an aircraft carrier cake? That is just so unbelievably awesome.
Wow Adam you're amazing at your cake decorating! I'm VERY impressed!!! They look absolutely delicious and so gorgeously beautiful! Lucky kids! :) You're a great father making great memories.
ReplyDeleteYes cake for breakfast never hurt once and awhile...angel food cake especially; my favorite!
I loved "CAKE-A-DOODLE-DOOoo! It's cake for breakfast!". I actually did have cake for breakfast today... shhh don't tell anyone!
ReplyDeletePlease oh PLEASE oh PLEASE do the "CAKE-A-DOODLE-DOOoo! It's cake for breakfast!" on a t-shirt! I would so buy one and would probably wear it all the time! I plan to buy the Cake-o-clock t-shirt, too!!! I am a cake decorator and love the cake pics you put up. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh Adam - those cakes are AWESOME!!! Me too, T - I love it that Adam makes his kids special cakes!
ReplyDeleteAnd Tavdy - the Obi-Wan reference is to "These aren't the droids you're looking for." (for me, anyway)
Trees made of Flake! Love it. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jacquie, I so want some Flakes now!!
ReplyDeleteI can totally picture a B&W Alec Guinness photoshopped looking at one of those cakes on a t-shirt:
ReplyDeleteThis is the cake I'm looking for...
i have Flakes. two of them. i can see them on the table. i'll be having them for dessert tonight. mmmmm, Flakealicious. :)
ReplyDeleteHe inspired me... I had cake for breakfast too... this is the cake I want...
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby's chocolate cake for breakfast:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K5YBNQq-Qo
His wife is a saint :-)
I can't believe Adam is so cake-crafty! Way to go Karen you got yourself a domestic! =)
ReplyDeleteAdam's talent is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteMy 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. (When I am not daydreamer's daughter, I am SnippyGirl)
had cake for lunch. it's always cake o'clock.
ReplyDeleteglad you got your net back up and a chance to see how loved you both are the world over. :)
the cakes are so very cool. what a talented daddy and husband you have!
Had leftover 4th banana split cake for breakfast this a.m. here in the States. Yum! (Cheesecake is one of my favorite breakfast "cakes"...it's *sort* of like yogurt.) Suggest thinking about cake o'clock and cock-a-doodle cake clocks in addition to the other merch requests.
ReplyDelete@T.A.C.: Now that would be an interesting bit of merchandising ...... a wall clock with "CAKE" all around the dial instead of numbers; and the "Cake o'clock!" quote in the middle...... 7@=e
ReplyDeleteProbably a bit too complicated to get the product made, though, with the company they're using......
Those cakes are adorable! I can really see all the love and effort he put in them. All my dad ever made me when I was a kid was oatmeal (not that I'm questioning dad's love for me). :D Really really awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am also cake obsessed, and I agree that my sleep talking would likely center around dessert items if, in fact, I was a sleep talker. Those cakes Adam made for the kids are freaking adorable! BRAVO!
ReplyDeleteOh they look fun...yesterday I blogged about the cakes I make for my kids.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thechocolateladyblog.blogspot.com
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.
ReplyDeleteThen for the Jedi cake, have a cupcake with a Jedi outfit and the saying. I would SOOOO buy those in a heartbeat!
well, it DID end up on 'Cake Wrecks' - but in a good way!!
ReplyDeletehe's got wonderful talent at decorating cakes, I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteLOL! We had our niece and nephew here on the weekend, the only steadfast rule we have for visiting kids is CAKE FOR BREAKFAST!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind waking up with that horse head in my bed.
ReplyDeleteOk, it took a couple of days, but I did finally get CAKE-A-DOODLE-DOOooo onto shirts and mugs!
ReplyDeleteLOL, "cake" is the swear filter substitute for cock on one of the forums I use.
ReplyDeleteI've got to have a shirt with that on.
@Jacquie,
ReplyDeleteDepending on where you are, it might be cheaper to get the flakes from Canada. We get them here all the time, mostly in smoke shops or pubs.
Cute cakes~ :D btw, are his kids not yours?
ReplyDeleteThose cakes look amazing.. . no mis-spellings.. so no cake wrecks. by the way I made an amazing Fourth of July cake and my step-father had it for breakfast as many days as he could. I’m thinking of buying him the CAKE-A-DOODLE-DOOOOO shirt for him. The blog is amazing. I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh! I got very inspired by those cakes. Very creative and funny. You guys would love to explore the raw food cakes that you can make! I eat cake every day, sometimes even for breakfast, and feel great! Because they are healthy and very nutritious. Just an example: http://www.rawandvegan.com/wp-content/uploads/cake.jpg
ReplyDelete*Waves to Tavdy* Always nice to see another geek. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd please make an apron with this quote: "The cake! It must be psychic. It's using Jedi mind tricks to make itself irresistible to me." I would love to wear that when cooking. 8)
You can buy Cadbury Flake at Cost Plus World Market, when I was a gourmet manager there, we sold them. So yummy! :D
ReplyDeletehi, how did u make the icing? i suck at icing... should be simple but i still never get the right consistancy
