Think They're Organic? [smirk]
January 15, 2009 Ok, class, time for your anatomy lesson - Cake Wrecks style.
This is your brain:
This is your brain slurping spaghetti and trimmed with white icing:
(Ok, maybe not. I'm told it's supposed to be a kidney.)
I'm not sure this next one is professional, but I didn't have the heart to cut it:
"Call me ugly, will you? Why, aorta..."And this last one is reeeallly gross, so don't scroll down unless you have a LOT of intestinal fortitude.
I mean it, now, this sucker is GROSS.
What, you still wanna see it? Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you!
[averting eyes] I would say something clever here, but I have to go vomit now. Won't you excuse me?
Maren A., Louise F., & Monique R., my diet plan thanks you.

Wow! Are these yummy looking...even cannibals needs a cake.
BTW- update on the Hitler family cake...

omg
who, who on earth could EAT this stuff? With the last one, I just imagine the smell of rotting meat! EWWW! Lord help us all....
word verification: yescri
"Yes dear, go ahead and cri now. I know it looked horrific!"
Wow...who in their right mind would order an intestinal tract cake? "Congrats on your gastric bypass" I suppose.
The color of the heart was beautiful and it seemed so realistic. FOR A MODEL not for FOOD. Ew.
Flashbacks to Gross Anatomy class. Yuck!
I expect that last cake to squirm and pulsate. Nasty! And I wonder how the decorator got it to gleam like that.

oh. my. god. i seriously gasped out loud in class.... *raises hand* my i be excused?! im going to..*runs*
my only question ok..i actually have two.
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!
and...
WHYYYYYYYYY??!!
$20 says none of those cakes ever got eaten.
I would totally eat a kidney. I will pass on that last one though. I think its the shiny-ness of the organs that are bothering the most on that one.
That brain is definitely food for thought, perhaps only for thought.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww I think that for the last one, it's the shiny effect that get to me.
Errr, I meant that kidney, not a real one.
That is too sick! Who thinks of these things?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
WV= quams. I have a few quams with the spelling of my word verification
OHGOD OHGOD I splorfed all my coffee into my keyboard and went through a stack of napkins and a pack of Wet Ones cleaning it up and my cubicle smells like coffee now.
Dang, y'all...these morgue cakes are terrifying!!! @___@
Why???
And really, who could eat any of those without gagging?
Those cakes are awesome! The kidney one is kind of a wreck just because they didn't try that hard but the rest are perfect. Each clearly took a lot of time and effort by the decorator and they did a brilliant job on accuracy.
As a researcher, I'd be thrilled to have any one of those at a staff party! Even the last one! I used to work in digestive diseases. Everyone would think it was a total hoot!!!
Wow! And, I thought face cakes were bad.
Just one question, why???? I think the intestine cake has to be the most disgusting cake I have ever seen!
Oh dear. I think I'd rather eat the baby butt cake.
That brain is gross, but I can't stop looking at it! Ugh!
I must say that I was compelled to scroll down and look at the last cake. The only thing that would have made that cake worse is some fondant "skin" hanging off the edges a la autopsy style. YUCK!
seems like every high school biology teachers dream cake. wow.
The SHINY on the intestines might just be a bit too much.
I wonder how many people actually have an appetite for cake after seeing these? I'm mildly nauseated, personally... Blech!
Wait a minute...I've seen that last one somewhere before. Oh, wait! It was http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wGr8njEWjtI/SUGWk7zfTAI/AAAAAAAABQM/XYWGularoX0/s1600-h/Shani+H+-+dinosaur+2.JPG" REL="nofollow">here!
So what's with the heart? It looks like it's had a bit of an infarct there with the darker colored area on the bottom (I'm guessing dead tissue?) So is this a cardiologist's cake or is it a "Congratulations on Surviving your Heart Attack Now We're Going to Stuff You With Buttercream" cake?
I also wish I could see the ugly one (let me clarify...the last ugly one) better. Is that a tourniquet on the lung? Is that even the lung? *scratches her head*
These cakes look like a cruel joke the folks in Pathology would play on me.
Incidentally Jen, this may be a good lead in to your funeral cakes since these are obviously the autopsy cakes.
People actually ate these?!?!
I like the kidney cake!
I really had to hunt to find a kidney-shaped cookie cutter... I eventually found one being sold as a jelly bean.
The first brain looks like it's got some kind of worms. Awesome in an autopsy sort of way.
The kidney? Hmm...for your fave Nephrologist?
The last one..A & P Lab end of year party! Yep.
Okay, okay, so I like the macabre.

well now - there goes my appetite
I wonder when anyone even needed organ-themed cakes?
Its way too early in the morning to be lookin at glistening organ cakes. Eck!
I don't understand the controversy here... What's the problem with a disemboweled body cake? Doesn't it just put a fine point on loving from the insdide out?
Oh my gosh! I can't believe they made that last one all glossy and...wait...I mean...I can't believe they MADE that one at all!!!!
What is WRONG with these people!!!!!
Why oh why would anyone destroy perfectly good frosting and cake by making those?
Ewwwww!!!! Hehehe! Those are pretty bad...fyi: I never never never want a cake of my insides! hehe!
Hmmm. Kinda makes you wonder if a cake looking so realistic isn't just a bit over-rated. And hey!! I thought our brain was made of GRAY matter, not ground-beef-that's-been-sitting-in-the-fridge-for-four-days "pink".......I've heard of kidney pie, but kidney CAKE???? As for the cake with, er, intestinal fortitude, this too shall pass........
I'm only commenting to be first (-ish, if someone beats me). I navigated away to look at the poll, and this was up when I came back!
What is the matter with people?!?
In Cake Wreck fashion...
O N B E E L E A V I B i L E !
Wow, that heart is amazing, and just in time for Valentine's Day!
Maybe this is what medical students do when they run out of cadavers.....
that heart is actually quite... beautiful.
but it makes me dry heave a little.
I'M SO CONFUUUUSED!!!
Ha! That's actually very good workmanship, especially the heart...
My sister made a http://cbethblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/yeah-you-can-pretty-much-buy-anything.html" REL="nofollow">coconut-filled chocolate brain for her husband. The previous year, she made brain cookies. Yes, there is a story behind it....
Okay, and the baker really expected someone to eat that last thing?
Bleh!!!
Given that you are told to remove the black vein from prawns (as it's not a vein its an intestine) I would have thought the same rule applied for cakes.
Ewe, lets hope there is no chocolate frosting in there, eeeeww.
Ok, as a medical researcher in digestive diseases, it's not gross to me (I've seen so much worse), but they are eerily accurate and definitely weird...
For some reason on that last one, I keep focusing on that white icing shell border at the bottom and want to say - Gee, that looks out of place there....
