"And in the Mornin', I'm Making WAFFLES."
March 3, 2009 Today's Wreck is so unrecognizable I figured I better give you as many clues as possible before showing it to you.
Clue #1: He's big, green, and lives in a swamp.
Clue #2: He's a cartoon ogre.
Clue #3: His name is Shrek.
Clue #4: He looks like this:
Ok, have you guessed who it is yet? Here comes the Wreck! (Choo choo!)
AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!!! Ahem.
Ok, so it's shiny, toothy, and has a homicidal glint in its dead, dead eyes.
On the other hand, now we know what would happen if the Incredible Hulk and Sloth from the Goonies ever had a love child. Right, Michelle Y.?

LOLOLOLOL!!! This is much more frightening than any of yesterday's cakes. Good thing we have your humor to soften the blow.
That's so funny, just yesterday we were quoting our favorite talking donkey and the waffle line is the best!!
That cake is gross.
Slimer! With teeth!
Who ya gonna call? Cakebusters!
This is why I don't decorate cakes. I fear they would all look like this.
The only way they could have made that less Shrek-ish would have been to make it red. I couldn't stop snickering.
Oddly enough, I had the exact same lovechild thought in my head.
I find the teeth most disturbing
I would have nightmares if I ate that cake.
He's coming to get me for eating him, AHHHH!
I think I'm most disturbed by the shininess of it. Ick.
I can only say .... EWWWWWWWW.
I love it! What a horrible shade of green, and what happened to his nose?! Sloth and the Incredible Hulk... bwaahhahahahahaa!!! I laughed so hard at that!
One of my favorites! Shreck, the movie that is. NOT the cake! What a complete disaster, an absolute atrosity - but at least something to make me laugh on a Tuesday morning : - )

I would expect to see this disembodied head on a pike on an English stone bridge as a warning to all the other ogree....

Oh my gosh! I've had nightmares that look like that! I can't imagine getting that cake as a kid, I would've been traumatized for life.
You know, I admire your way with words. Some days it's not so much the cakes that are funny as it is what you say about them.
And today? Holy wow!
Thanks for providing a laugh on a fairly bad morning.
Are you sure the Green Goblin wasn't in on that love child action?
This cake is awesome in the worst way possible. Love it!
If I may draw a line from Star Trek to comment:
"What is it?"
"It's green..."

Now that's a Shwreck! ;)
Looks more like Disney's Quasimoto from Hunchback with food poisoning than Shrek.
My four year old son looked at the cake and said " That´s a Shrek cake". Maybe you have to be four...
that thing lived under my bed when I was 5 years old. Bad memory to relive.

Whoa! That's horrible! Talk about nightmare-inducing!
WV: horsup - what my pony made when he saw that cake. Quite a disgusting mess to clean up..
Oh god, I hope that wasn't for a child.
It looks more like Dobby from Harry Potter......in green! Shiny green Shiny, toxic green...
Holy smokes that's hideous.
You know.. I always read this (even if I've seen the wrecks earlier in the day) when I'm having a bad day at work... but it took everything in my power not to laugh out loud in my cube. Bad plan.
They should have stuck with a parfait.
Maybe the overhead view looks more like Shrek. Like, uh, about 5 miles overhead? Aerial, as it were? No, still not? Well, I tried.
Are you sure it's not a jello mold?
HEY YOU GUUUUUYYYYYS!
HAHA! I sloth! HA!
I love the love child thing because that is SO DEAD ON!
Looks like an Orc on a really good day...
And hey, let's not judge this cake by its exterior. Donkey wisdom suggests that everything has layers...
Is freaky.
But...but...Shrek is actually cute. And this is a....monster.

I think the frilly doily was a nice touch.
This is why these company's copyright their images and we're not suppose to make them in cake... to prevent stuff like this. LOL The decorator should have refused to make this for "copyright" reasons. This could have been avoided.....LOL.
That is just scary and gross and just funny...LOL!!
I would have placed my bets that cake was Yoda. Eat this cake, you will.
That is bad, hideous even. I am sure Shrek would approve
I don't even want to know what you have to do to a cake to get it that SHINY!!!
Yike!
Can't be Shrek.
It's a goblin from World of Warcraft game!
Take a look at this face and see if you don't see the similarity:

Well it would be if it had pointy ears.
lol
The mouth and teeth on this cake are enough to give me nightmares for a longgggg time.
oh dear! I cake should never, NEVER be that shiny!
is it a CCC on top of all this gross?
It's probably closer to William Steig's original rendition of http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2007/12/13/arts/21056381.JPG" REL="nofollow">Shrek
And a rough quote - from (bad) memory: "his mother was ugly and his father was ugly, but Shrek was uglier than the two of them put together"
This is pretty much uglier than any two of anything put together!
so...much...green....GAHHHH!!! how does one make such a shinny green color?! eww.
ba-by ruuuth?
Yikes.
Baaaaaaaby Ruuuth. That's some awesome stuff and an extremely ugly cake, I would be seriously worried for my health if I ate that..
