Tour Roundup: San Diego
We arrived at the La Jolla Festival of the Arts not really knowing what to expect. Fortunately, people actually showed up - and some of them even knew who we were! (For the rest, the words "free cake" were more than enough incentive to cram into the tent. Heh.) Whatever the reasons, we had a hefty, happy crowd - so much so that our hosts ran out of books. (Oops. Sorry, guys.)
We neglected to get a shot of the crowd, but here's a cutie in a custom CW shirt:
John & I were touched by how many Wreckies chose to pay their own admission rather than allow us to pay for them. In the end, we only owed the Festival admission for 51 of the more than 150 people at the show. Several folks told me they paid their own way despite financial hardships and even unemployment. That's super humbling stuff, guys. Thank you.
Get a load of this jungle goodness! Lisa of Cake Dreams and Cookie Wishes pulled out all the stops in crafting this sweet treat - especially considering she only had a week's notice when our first baker had to cancel.
Lisa putting the final details in place.
A few close-ups:
And my favorite bits:
Awww. My name's on the Disney hat! Plus, the little book was perfect - and edible.
I was thrilled that there were any wreckplicas entered in the contest - and even more so when they turned out to be this amazing:
She even included the tiny penguin! Ha!
A photo of the WoW cake on a cupcake. Perfect.
I love that two of our three winners were wearing Disney shirts. :)
And their cakes:
This was our grand prize winner - because "Pink Cat Gives You Wings!"
And that's it for our third "world" tour! Thanks so much to all of you who came out, to our volunteer bakers, and to our host stores for making John and me feel like wrecky royalty. It's been a great week, thanks to all of you!
Note from john: Special thanks to Sean Boston for finding us a sushi knife/full on sword to cut the cake. You rock absolutely!

What's THAT Supposed to Mean?
Sometimes, when I'm really grumpy (wha-aat? Jen gets grumpy? Get OUT!) I like to amuse myself by taking every little thing John says exactly the wrong way.
It's loads of fun.
Anyway, I can only imagine how much fun this lady had:
"Start talking, mister, or you'll be looking for wife #2 real fast."
Buddy? Nope. Not anymore.
Here's one way to tackle a friend's hairy situation:
"Cynthia, sweetie, this is an intervention."
[starting electric razor] "Grab her, girls!!"
When your dad turns the big 4-0, you want a cake that shows not only just how much you love him, but also how much time, thought,and effort went into finding him juuust the right design:
"Hmm...this purse design is a little plain. Oh! I know! Do you have any of those plastic Cinderella slippers back there? Yes? PERFECT."
Or, if that doesn't do the trick:
"I had them add the arrow so you wouldn't miss the teeny tiny heart. See how small it is? How there's all that extra room it *could* have occupied? Yeah? Good. Just checking."
Hillary H., Kris, Cynthia P., Mark R., & Kjaere, I love you guys this much. Which is to say, enough to type your names here.
John: "So, you want a sub for dinner?"
Me: "Why? 'Cuz I'm too FAT to have a burrito? Huh? Is *that* what you're saying?"
John: "No! I just thought you might be hungry!"
Me: "Oh, I see, because I'm ALWAYS hungry, right? RIGHT?!?"
John: [backing away slowly before sprinting from the room.]
