Stuff My Dogs Have Wrecked: Remote Control

Bookmark and Share

Back in the day when my dogs were really, really bad, they gnawed on the remote control, notably the power button. Now the TV turns on at random times, like in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, which is a pain because the TV popping on throws me into confused, half-awake freak-outs:

Me: John! Wake up! WAKE UP! A burgular has broken into the house and is downstairs watching Friends!!! Tell that asshole to turn it down and to stop laughing at the dumb parts.

Being the uber-romantic I am, I got John a replacement remote control for Valentine's Day. Don't judge me, that is what he asked for. In an attempt to take this practical gift from "heh?" to "YOWZA!" I decided to make a chocolate cake that LOOKED like a remote control. How clever is that? An edible remote control. Brilliant.

Except it turned out like this:



I'm not sure what that looks like. R2D2 maybe? Am I insulting R2D2?

Sorry, dude.

If you liked this post and you would like to share it, that would be super! Thank you so much!

  1. Love it! Seeing this makes me wish my husband would buy me a bunch of sandals and bake me a sandal cake in honor of Shakespeare's love of leather.

  2. Cute cake. Oh, if I made a list of things my dogs have eaten over the years it would take me days, quite literally.

  3. It looks cute! And much more yummy than what my charred attempt at cake would look like. Enjoy your uninterrupted nights... :)

  6. This is such a sweet idea, and it looks delicious!

    My dogs used to chew up shoes! Can you imagine trying to rush out of the house while trying to locate a pair of "wearable" shoes... nightmare!

  7. @AnimatedPet- I'm right there with you! Almost headed out on Valentine's Day wearing cowboy boots with my little black dress because I haven't replaced all my black shoes yet. Lovely :)
