The day the Earth went to wank.
Hey! It was Earth day not too long ago! Yay! In celebration of Earth Day, Jen over at Cake Wrecks decides to post about Earth Day related cakes gone horribly wrong.

Jen includes a cake intended to be Spaceship Earth (ETA: that she made, by the way) and makes a joke about it. Fortunately Jen's readership is ready and willing to let her know that the cake is actually Epcot, about 200 times. The comments are wanky, hilarious, and generous amounts of ass kissing towards the end.

This does not bode well with Jen's inner Disney child, and she amends her post with the following:

" To the scores of you telling me this is supposed to be Disney's Epcot Center: Um, yeah, I know. See, the ball at Epcot is called Spaceship Earth, NOT Epcot. Give a Diz Geek a little credit, eh?"

Unfortunately her inner Disney child is still smarting as the next post is provided by her husband, his explanation being...

"Hey everybody. This is john (the hubby of Jen) taking on today's post since Jen is...um...busy. Yeah. So how 'bout that post yesterday, huh? It's like one minute everything's all hunky-dory, and then next thing I know Jen's threatening to strike over something to do with a Disney font. Last I saw, she was on the couch in her memory foam slippers with a pint of Chunky Monkey and watching SGA reruns. I believe her exact words to me were, "YOU write it!!!" And I see the facial tic is back. Greeeaaat."

This, of course, starts a game of finger pointing.

And cake was had by all!

ETA 2: If two posts of butthurt wasn't enough for you, Jen also likes to tweet about it!

Relevant tweets:

# I love you guys. Really, I do. But if ONE MORE PERSON tells me the cake today is the ball from Epcot, so help me, I will not post tomorrow.9:04 AM Apr 28th from web

# No really, for fun, go count how often I'm told you can tell it's Epcot by the Disney font: http://tinyurl.com/d3zrn7 (*headdesk* & repeat!)9:05 AM Apr 28th from web

# In case some of you thought I was making idle threats yesterday: http://tinyurl.com/cgm6fk (Hats off to John for stepping up!)10:03 AM Apr 29th from web

# The comments today are nearly as entertaining as yesterday's. Still, y'all be nice: nobody's an idiot OR a moron, k? Can't we all get along?10:09 AM Apr 29th from web


ETA 3: As pointed out by [info]willywanka, apparently Blogger is responsible for bahleeted comments on Cake Wrecks.

franticallysimple puts it best, "Does this mysterious comment deletion have anything to do with the Epcot Center, now owned by Disney?"

I've always wondered how five thousand people can make the same comment on a post without seeing the OTHER 4999 PEOPLE WHO ALREADY SAID THE SAME FUCKING THING.

Seriously, it's like they're all trying to show off how smart they are...badly.

Y'know, I'd love CakeWrecks a lot more than I already do if it wasn't marred by the twin engines of butthurt the husband and wife duo turn into at the slightest provocation.

I'd recommend getting screencaps. She's been known in the past to huffily take posts down (or more accurately, instruct her husband to do so, while he rages on her behalf) when they aren't received the way she likes.

I actually thought he was joking when I read that post. Like, Jen was busy or something and they just played it off as that being the reason that he was writing the post.

But looking at the comments, I guess I was wrong? Or maybe I'm not but the commenters aren't going to let a little thing like a joke they didn't get stop them from being self-satisfied ass-kissers? I don't even know.

Ugh.

Cake wrecks.

I used to RSS-watch it back in the Good Old Days when the cakes were truly... wrecks, and she presented one or two cakes per post, rather a jillion.

Now there are a jillion per post, the faults are mostly colour choices or unfortunate spelling, and a lot of the cakes look kinda mass-produced anyway, rather than customised or hideously expensive cake wrecks, which are the most delicious kind.

Vegan chocolate vinegar cake. It is delicious. You want to make it.

3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
6 tbsp. cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
Mix well (soda chunks are nasty!), then add
3/4 c. oil
2 tbsp. white vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. cold water
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes in a 9x13 lightly greased pan.

Coffee frosting:
1/2 c. margarine or butter (1 cube)
1 lb. powdered sugar (1 box)
1/3 c. cocoa
1/3 c. soy/rice/almond milk or strong coffee (I like my frosting coffee-tastic, so I put a heaping spoonful of freezedried coffee in the 1/3 c. measuring cup, then fill it with hot water)

simple coconut cake
[info]squeakytoy
2009-04-30 11:37 am UTC (link)
Measurements are in Australian. Which may or may not be a mix of metric and imperial, depending on how I learned the recipe.

125g butter
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup desiccated coconut
1 tsp vanilla essence

Cream butter and sugar, add egg, milk, and vanilla essence. Sift in flour, add coconut, and stir well. Bake in a 180C oven for 30-40 minutes, or until skewer comes out clean.

Drizzle with lemon icing (lemon juice and icing sugar).

Moist, simple, sweet, and utterly delish. It's the only cake recipe I know off by heart. :)

Sounds like a ripe candidate for comm deletion. Or has she threatened/pulled that already?

I bet a lot of people would go for a competing Bad-Baked-Goods comm that isn't quite such a wank minefield.
