Merry Misfits
December 8, 2009 Unfortunately, these guys tend to get passed over come pageant time.
First there's Ginger, the deranged, dandruff-riddled cookie:
Sure she's a bit flaky, but be careful; Ginger snaps.Then there's Harry, the five o'clock shadow elf:
As you can see, Harry likes to make a pig of himself.Poopsie & Flopsie always know how to bring the holiday cheer:
Yep. Once they leave, everyone is MUCH more cheerful.Humpty here likes to talk with his hands:
I would translate, but there are children present.Then there's Tiny:
[singing] But do you recaaall...
The most famous misfit of all?
Yes, it's...
Poo-Dolph, the Bulldozed, Slain Deer!Jessica S., Kim C., Erin F., Mike Y., & Anony M., I totally need Poo-Dolph on a t-shirt.

I hope that is actually Ginger's dandruff, and not, say, the baker's.
Xmas = Hope, I guess...
Poo-dolph is classic! I would still eat it though...cake is cake!
I have been looking at poopsie and flopsie all day and it just doesn't get any less funny!
May I just say, that Poo-dolph the bulldozed slain deer made me spit and spill scalding coffee all over myself and my screen. Well played, wrecker, well played.
Obviously, I found today's wrecks to be splendidly comical.

I agree this could become a holiday classic, but sometimes cake is...too suspicious for human consumption.
I'm concerned about Humpty's health - he appears to be made out of a nuclear bi-product. (Who knew yellow cake was so readily available!)
Snowman with tiny head has me laughing like a maniac!
O.M.G....I should have known to come here first when I was having a crappy day (pun only sort of intended). Thanks for the wonderful laugh!
Harry, the nipple-nosed elf-pig... how festive!
wv: reakeys. These are really reakey cakes.

I laughed so hard about the "poo-dolph" cake that I cried. I absolutely want a t-shirt of it. ha ha. That was the transition from the snowman "tiny" to the "poo-dolph."
Ginger snaps! really made me laugh in real life...that was the pun of the evening!
Jen, this was one of your best posts yet (and I've been a loyal daily reader for >1 year). Just too witty today!
Poo-Dolph....I just snorted, I laughed so hard!
Well done on the wordplay. I think you may have set a new record for a single post. The pictures may me smile (and cringe), but it's your writing that keeps bring me back. Thanks!!
I think Flopsie is a grinch.
Poopsie however is obviously the infamous turdaphant from Last years, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
What do you think would happen if you actually asked for a cake with poo decorations? Hmmm......
Flopsie looks like the love child of Kermit the Frog and E.T. It took me a while to realize it was the Grinch!
Poo-Dolph will haunt my dreams.
Oh, and the best thing about the bulldozed reindeer is the teeeeeeny tiny antlers. I can't stop giggling every time I look at them.
The poop!! The poooop!! (supposed to be a play on "the horror! the Hoooror!)
Mr. Hanky, is that you?
Man, I love those poo antlers. And maybe Humpty is the Christmas version of Pedobear. Yuh.
Yay for the Beetlejuice reference - half these Santa's look worse than he did!
Okay so the first one looks like Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo from South Park. Hideee-Ho Neighbor!!! ROTFL!!!!!
SOMEone's on a pun roll! (poo-dolph) teehee :D thanks for the laughs Jen!
OMGosh those are nasty looking "cakes"..can you imagine taking one of those to a school function this holiday season??? The children would BEG not to eat them and swear they'll be GOOD until Christmas...just don't give them those cakes! Aghghgh

Boooo, I now have an inexplicable craving for a poo reindeer.
Extra points for the Beetlejuice reference!
Jen, did you see this comic about cake? Right up cakewrecks alley!

Even my 3 year old said that Poo-Dolf was a "poop with a face".
Been on Jungle Cruise lately? Ha! I have greatly enjoyed the holiday wrecks.
Love the Beetlejuice link for Tiny the snowman...really made me laugh to remember the ending of the movie.
Haunted Mansion reference one day, Jungle Cruise reference the day before... you guys rock!e

Holy Lord God of Hosts, what are those green things supposed to be? Kermit, maybe? A praying mantis, as some have suggested? The Southeastern Naked Turtle Mantis (brilliant, BTW)? What unholy thing hath this Wreckorator wrought?
I can't get those things out of my mind because I don't know what they are! Sweet merciful heaven, before I lose what little sanity I have left...
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE THOSE GREEN THINGS???!!!
I'm just too damn lazy to scroll through the comments and see if anyone else thought of this first, but maybe instead of a slaindeer, maybe a 'stain' deer would be more appropriate since he is named Poodolph...
That last one is hilarious. I'm going to be singing that now!

Does anybody else see that PooDolph is wearing big white clip-on earrings? Festive!
Yes, you need to make a PooDolph shirt. That would be hilarious! The official holiday Cake Wrecks shirt.
I hope Mr. Hanky is suing the Poopsie cupcake people.
We decided Flopsie is the holiday Praying Mantis. Very festive!
Poo-dolph is beyond amazing -- I wasn't sure what it was at first although I had an idea. This is waayyyy too funny. Love it!
Can you send me to some places to see some of these gems? In NYC?

I think I love poopsie more than flopsie, but I don't know why.
So, to make sure I full understand, professional bakers/cake decorators made these things? And those professional bakers weren't so embarrassed that they threw these 'things' in the trash before someone was able to take pictures of them? oh. okay.
I also really liked the dandruff creature, but it did make my skin crawl.
tiny made me laugh so hard.
Thank you so much for this. Haven't laughed this much in two and a half years!
Be nice to PooDolph. He has an antler inadequacy complex. Imagine what the female slaindeers say to him, poor guy. Talk about not playing any reindeer games . . .

OK, so those little cup cakes...(cc's in the "BIZ") those little green things look like geckos that are freezing to death next to ... dunno... how about some sort of mutated crustasian with a hemoroid prob...maybe?
can't.....breathe.......laughing...too.....hard.....
Poo-dolph the junior Reindeer
Wished to be a household name,
Just like his cousin Rudolph,
With his great historic fame.
He needed practice flying, so
Went out to the city dump
Where gigantic mounts of garbage
Made a super place to jump.
Landing was his weakest point
He found he couldn't stop--
Crashed into a rubbish heap
(You should look before you leap!)
Bulldozed and trash-compacted,
Garbage-scowed right out to sea,
Poor Poo-dolph, the bulldozed, slain deer, your end will be a mystery!
Barb, that was ingenious and I thank you greatly! LOL
I think it looks like an abstract Ganesha. With eyes on his feet?
I like that the snowman is made in yellow cake...yellow snow anyone lol
