Sunday Sweets is my weekly NON-Wrecks feature, the better to show how wrecky the Wrecks really are.

(I had a whole album of those cards growing up. I'm guessing a little after the Hugga Bunch phase.)

ever

( Note: sorry, I've once again lost track of the original e-mail link, so if you know who made this, please let me know so I can credit the baker!)

really

still

(Snorks, anyone?)

(Slinky, My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch - you get the idea)

(GhostBUSTERS!)

(I know there's a Thriller cake out there somewhere)

And if you find all these blasts from the past just as fun as I do, you should check out

the sticker section

on Branded in the 80s . Anyone else remember Poochie the dog? Anyone?

I grew up in the 80s, so I have a bit of a soft spot for the music, the movies, and the retina-searing color combinations of that decade. I also make funny squealing noises when I see references to nearly-forgotten loves like the Wuzzles or that Hugga Bunch made-for-TV movie. (Hey, even geek girls were girly girls at age 6, right?)All that to say, here are some fun 80s-inspired Sweets for y'all.Remember these guys? Sing it with me, Carrie G.: "Gummi Beeeaars! Bouncing here and there and EV'rywhere..."This next one combines 3 great 80s icons: the Rubik's cube, Super Mario, and the oh-so-popular Garbage Pail Kids. Marylse found this on Jessica Claire's photography site (which you should check out to see pics of the raddest 80's prom-themed shower) and it was made by Sweet Gems Custom Cakes And I know Wheel of Fortune is still on the air, but since I had a Vanna White t-shirt in 4th grade it will always be 80s to me. Sara D., would you like to buy a vowel?And lastly, Karen C. found a cake thattakes me back...Love it love it love it. And Ihave a crush on Michael J. Fox. [wistful sigh]Ok, this was just too much fun to stop the 80s theme now. That's right, you heard me: the e-mail lines are NOW open, folks, so go forth and find me 80s Sweets! I'm talking the cartoonsthe games, the toys, the movies, and yes even the music. Send your finds to Sunday Sweets [at] Cake Wrecks [dot] com.
