February Visiting Teaching Message

A simple brown paper sack turns into a gift your sister will LOVE this month...
The title of the message along with the phrase "LOVE the counsel and take it to heart" shows on the outside of this simple brown paper sack.  Inside is a 4"x5" card with the full message from the Ensign... and of course, a sweet treat of gummy hearts to tie it all together.  


We have added a quote (not included in the Ensign message) by Pres. Hinckley that states, "Fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." This quote is a great way to remember what this month's message is all about. 
We hope this gift will inspire sisters everywhere to read the message and truly take it to heart.

Flirty Aprons' Sexy Pink Valentine's Day Apron

Another lovely Valentine's Day apron, this one is sexy and flirty.

Perfect for any woman who loves to cook and wants to look good in the kitchen, I think it would be an absolutely adorable Valentine's Day gift.

Made of a sturdy yet soft designer fabric with 2-ply construction and strong stitching to hold up for years of use.

Flirty Aprons won't fade and they won't disappoint. They actually have nine fun patterns, from this one called 'Chic Pink' to 'Pink Chocolate' and 'Frosted Cupcake.' You can see all of Flirty Aprons' aprons at Amazon by clicking right here.

TY Pluffie Kisser Giraffe, You Won't Find A Sweeter Valentine's Day Plush Animal!

I think he'd be a wonderful Valentine's Day gift for many people from children right through to adults. He's just so darn cute plus he is very collectible and he is very affordable. Amazon has him listed for less than half the regular retail price.

As We Fumble Along

After extensive research of all the baffling, exclamation point-riddled status updates I've been seeing on FB and Twitter, I've concluded that something either is happening, has happened, or will happen in the world of sports.

After a few wild guesses and a Magic 8-Ball consult, I've concluded that these happenings are "most likely" football-related.

Is this a football? "Ask Again Later."

This has me at a distinct disadvantage, since frankly I know about as much about football as I do that mysteriously emptied Reese's Chocolate Clusters bag on the kitchen counter. Which is to say absolutely nothing.

(Ok, that's not entirely true. I think I saw the cat sniffing the bag of chocolates earlier. So I'd definitely question her, John. Yeah.)

Still, I can guess that this frankenpoo butterfly with fuzzy monster wings is supposed to be a football:


And that this next one is probably a "football field" in some Wreckerator's wildest dream:

(I'm talking a What Dreams May Come kinda wildest dream here, not a Field of Dreams kind of dream. But you probably got that already, right?)


Besides, you don't have to know the game to realize that fecal footballs are really never a good idea:

Especially when placed next to perfectly decent-looking football picks.
Bakers, ever hear the expression, "Don't park your ass next to a thoroughbred?" Just curious.

Could be worse, though. It could have fecal footballs with urine-yellow icing and a big ol' dual-meaning inscription like "Go Team" on it. Not that anyone would ever do something that...

Oh, no.

Really?

Really.

[sigh]

Well, there it is.

Although now that I look at it, I'm actually kind of disappointed there isn't a "We're #1!" on it somewhere, or "Go long" or something with the word "pass" in it. Hehehe. Wow, I never realized there were so many potty puns in sports! That almost makes them slightly more interesting. (The puns - not the sports.)

Finally, here's one more design someone clearly didn't think all the way through:

Ok, let's be generous and assume the Wreckerator meant "Touchdown," but for some reason couldn't remember how to spell "down."

Even then, you know there are FB pics out there of a bunch of drunken guys posing with this cookie cake held in very, shall we say, strategic locations. Not good, bakers, not good.


Could Diana A., Marisa H., Sue B., Meryl, Julie M., & Jessica L. be the best Wreckporters ever? Signs point to yes.

- Related Wreckage: Score!


NOTE: For the one person out there wondering: yes, today's title is inspired by The Drowsy Chaperone. For the rest of you: that's a musical with two punny gangsters in it posing as pastry chefs. Need I say more?

Unexcepted Seamen

Ahh, there's nothing like unintentionally inappropriate greetings at the bakery!

Hey, you put a giant dog bone on your cake, you're going to get a few Freudian slips.


For the new mom coming home with the baby:

Guys, here's a tip: subliminal messages work better in audio.


Of course, when you're actually trying for something a little risque, you can count on a Wreckerator to botch that up, too:

This was supposed to say "unexpected semen."

Aw, you couples and your pet names for each other! You're just so gosh darn cute.


Megan N., Alana Q., & Anony M., in the spirit of this post I'm sending you a wholly inappropriate (but mercifully virtual) butt-slap each right now. Great job!

- Related Wreckage: Inappropriate, Much?

UPDATE: I'm told that the last cake was from a hubby to his wife, and that she was an accidental pregnancy. So yes, it was an inside joke gone wrong, but I think she still found it funny. That's all I know! Promise!
