The Baby Cake Gets Cut Down to Size
May 24, 2010 You know how sometimes you see a baby cake that's not too horrendously awful, and your first reaction is something like,
"Aw, just lookit that face! Who's a cute widdle boopsie woopsie baby? Is it you? Yes, it's you!!"
Anyway, my point is that while some of these baby cakes might be just the teensiest bit cute, you have to remember one very important thing:
Here we have the standard old man baby cake:
I say we call him Benjamin. ('Cuz he's cute as a Button!) [Quick side note: in case you're wondering, as I did, why he's on a food court tray: it turns out that's a new type of cake board popping up in bakeries. Weird, I know. Ok, sorry to interrupt. Let's move on.]
And just so you get the full effect:
Just lookit that face! No really, look at it. Aren't you glad the eyes aren't open?
[shiver] Whoah. I just gave myself the willies. (Or should I call them the "bennies?")
Okay. So, über realistic baby. Been there, done that. However, here's where things get...
...cutting.I would insert some side-splitting commentary here about how stabbing someone in the back always gets you the cold shoulder in the end - but as you can see, there's no need. He's already "waist"ing away!
Oh, Oh! Wait! I have one more:
Bwahahahahahaahaa!
Ah, I crack myself up sometimes.Anyway, we still haven't gotten to the worst part yet. The worst part actually, literally, in real reality, honestly gave John nightmares. Seriously. So now he won't let me post it here. Instead, I'm going to link to it. But please, all joking aside, choose your clicks wisely. I'm here to make you laugh, not give you nightmares - and this thing puts the "ick" in "squicky."
Ok, enough warnings (since I'm sure they're having the opposite affect anyway): Click here to see the final photo.
Thanks to Kimberley K., who will never again say to a child, "I could just eat you up!"
Note from John: I initially made that last picture a separate post and linked to it, not realizing it would show up in Google readers before the actual post. Oops. Sorry to those of you who clicked on it with no warning! Oh and if the new link doesn't work, you may have to refresh the page.

Wow, I shouldnt have looked but of course I did...Now I'll have nightmares of someone cutting a baby! lol
That link to the last picture....SHUDDER!!! I cannot unsee that and I'm sure that will haunt me for the REST of my life!! OMG!
OMG! that is just too creepy for a baby shower cake.
I used to work at a party store many years ago and they sold BABY PINATAS! Really - a pink or blue clad crawling baby pinata. Who in their right mind would BUY (never mind make) such a thing. I googled this to see if I could find a picture but, alas, no luck. I guess pinata-makers finally came to their senses!
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Good God! the worst part was DEFINITELY the worst!! I didn't realize it was his face for a second there..*shiver*
It is disconcerting!
@Cathy in AK
It depends on who the celebrity who is being portrayed in piñata form is. I can think of a few who are famous for such dubious accomplishments as sex videos, riding the "rehab merry go round", repeated legal run-ins, and the like. (As opposed to being good actors, singers, etc.) who I'd have no trouble whacking with a stick.
I'm just glad it wasn't red velvet cake with a red cherry or strawberry filling!! LMAO!!
DON'T CLICK THE LINK! DON'T CLICK THE LINK! JOHN WAS TOTALLY RIGHT! MY DREAMS WILL BE HAUNTED OF THE SLICED AND DICED BABY!
Oh dear, why did I click on that last link...!
OMG disturbing! D:
And at the same time, kinda hilarious in a messed-up sort of way that anyone would think this was a "cute" idea. xD Ewwww.
On a side note, I might try the cake ....if someone dared me to.
Who would order a baby cake? And yes, it's gross that it's on a lunch tray. And yes, it could be worse...it could have been red velvet cake. I want to see these people on Dr Phil. THAT would be a show.
These cakes are so hilarious. I can only imagine someone cutting into the baby cake.
So, so disturbing. Thanks for posting the final photo elsewhere, rather than at the bottom of this page. I chose to look at it, but man...it is so wrong. Thankfully someone thought to not to make this out of red velvet cake so there was SOME thought.
I just read Cormac McCarthy's The Road and that link made me think of a scene from it.
So, was looking at these today and my kids came running at my laughter at these definite wrecks. Not sure how the cake cutter felt but not even my 6 yr old would have eaten a piece as he said to me "NO, that's just sick!" and stomped off.
Thank God it wasn't red velvet. That would have just been too traumatic. It was traumatic enough already.
WHAT KIND of Cake is it?
Looks GREEN inside of the HEAD...
Like some kind of Lunch Salad thingy.....
Yuck~
And yet you'll all just slice and chomp away on a CAKE made to look like anything else alive...
No matter what it looks like it's still just CAKE!!!
Eyeroll... Good grief, people. You'll cut up and eat cake when it's shaped like anything else.
It's CAKE. Not a real baby. CAKE! C. A. K. E.
Oh..... okay.... um....
Baby sushi? *hurk*
Yeah, I probably shouldn't've clicked the link.
Threw up in my mouth...
