Cheat Sheet Cakes
January 7, 2011 "Excuse me, but what is this cake supposed to be?"
"That? That's a princess tiara, of course."
"Seriously? Wow. I never would've got that. Uh. Thanks."
....
"Sorry to bother you again, but could you tell me what this icing blobby bit here is?"
"It's a telephone."
"And this one over here?"
"That's a poodle."
"And that?"
"Tank covered in butterflies."
"I...see. Thanks."
.........
"Hi again. I was just wondering...."
*sigh* "Look, lady, do I have to label everything in this bakery for you?"
[brightening] "Oooh, if you wouldn't mind..."
"FINE."
(If you're thinking this is getting a little ridiculous, just wait.)
Theeeere it is.Thanks to MWD, Sandi G., Joshua L., Betsy N., Ed P., and Nicole P., who know better than to believe everything they read. (That's obviously Oscar. [head tilt] Or maybe Rizzo.)

I never would've gotten the princess tiara one....
Somehow, the labels don't really help. They seem more like insults.
wow, the princess tiara must really be working out a lot!! look at those muscles lol!! am i the only one that thinks it looks like its trying to body build? haha
Now there's a Kermit that Jim Henson would be proud of!
*reading*
...how could it get worse???...
"Kermit the -" WHAT THE!!!???
...ahhh...ok. Now I see how it gets worse.
:D Hey, at least they're proud enough to label the wrecks or conscious enough to realize how lamely unrecognizable each piece is. So, yeah...
Oh God, poor Kermit!!!!!!!
Poor Kermit. He looks more like Pac Man after a 3 day bender.
Um, really, that's Kermit the Frog? *wagging finger* "I don't think so."
Thanks goodness they labeled the Giant Cookie, I thought it was pie :p LOL
I am a little disturbed by the Cupcake CCC...Doesn't that violate some sort of physics rule?
I'd like to believe the Giant Cookie is just some passive-aggressiveness getting let out.
Baahhahaha
Love the "Giant Cookie" It cracks me up!
Apparently Captain Obvious is now a professinal cookie decorator.
How long have frogs had beaks? You'd think I would have noticed that by now....
Talk about false advertising! I'm not buying that princess tiara...(and I MEAN that). That ear-less "teddy bear" looks more like a gingerbread cookie wannabe. flagging a taxi. or that "bus"
that kermit the frog is very suspicious, and what the heck is in his mouth? did he pull a "Christmas Story-stick-your-tongue-to-a-metal-pole-and-see-if-it-sticks" routine and now it's covered in gauze? poor Flick. I mean, "Kermit." in a turtleneck (how ironic! get it? turtle? nvm) or scarf.
cupcake army is more like it, CCC.
but the best, the one that made me LOL, the giant cookie, labeled "Giant Cookie." How stupid is the clientele/staff at this store (er, "bakery")? it's a message cookie. why is the message "giant cookie"? now there's no room to personalize it. what occasion are we buying "giant cookie" for? maybe they can use it as an insult baked good for someone with a huge rump? or a token of love for someone with a huge significant other? (in which case, that cookie might not be considered "giant" by the recipient. gulp!)
I think the giant cookie one is funny and ironic. The others are just sad. Though I am slightly amused at the very pretty writing that labels some of these monstrosities.
Then there's Kermit, they couldn't even write. How can they call themselves professionals?
I hate to say that the cupcake cupcake cake (what else would I call it?) is the best looking one of the bunch. The school bus looks like it's been in one too many wrecks, the tiara looks more like one of the old plastic "wigs" that were a play toy back when I was young (they were sort of like a conehead but shaped like a hairstyle). And Kermit? Poor, poor Kermie... Jim Henson is spinning in his grave.
wv: clestre: what you make with cupcakes to make a cupcake cake --- it's a clestre of cupcakes
Why does Kermit have a giant doobie in his mouth?! KERMIT?!!?
My favorite has to be Giant Cookie, though.
Not sure who the heck that Kermit looks like, but its most definitely not Rizzo. (or Kermit.)
-moochmom
so what exactly is that supposed to be in Kermit's mouth?
I would have gotten the giant cookie, and maybe the...
Actually, just the giant cookie.
I thought kermit was a T-rex emryo.
Also, why doesn't that bear have ears!?
"A tank with butterflies"...lulz :)
Pretty sure that Kermit is actually the Geico Gecco. The Giant Cookie made my day. Thanks.
Kermit??? I thought that was Godzilla eating an airplane (he obviously pulled the wings off first).
#1 A CCCCC. Well, it's better than a CCC (patooie!).
#2 A short bus. How appropriate.
#3 Making progress on the piping skills -- one hopes the person holding the bag (as it were) can soon graduate to real cakes.
#4 If it had ears, there would be no room for the label. Waddaya want for $4.00?
#5 "Another order for 'BABY in the USA'? I'm not doing that again!"
#6 Kermit, Kermit. There must be better ways to keep Miss Piggy at bay than letting yourself go like that.
Giant Cookie is awesome. I have to believe that the "wreckerator" who wrote that intended the joke. I just have to.
I was thinking "yes, this helps considerably! I get it... even if it's dumb." And then I got to "giant cookie" and lost it. Wow.
The princess tiara one is rather pretty--for a CCC. Even though it does look more like a giant blue crab.
To be fair to the Kermit Wreckerator, whipped cream in a can is a really difficult writing medium....
Evidently, Kermit is now moonlighting as a Pokemon... O_o
WV - flogie: A masochist frog which appears on cakewrecks and moonlights as a pokemon.
Rizzo? only if you have smoked/ah tilted yer ah er ummm never mind...poor Kermit where are his eyes? Snorted on Flogie...The Teddy bear without ears and the GIANT COOKIE...priceless...
I have no words. Other than those four... or eight... or...
Oh, never mind.

Busibe -- those wreckerators were busibes, getting all those labels on there.
The cupcake isn't half bad, actually, especially for a CCC.
Oh poor Kermie...that's just cruel!
It's really quite sad when you need a label to recognize a cupcake... that's made from cupcakes!
While the wreckerator didn't know what a school bus actually looks like, at least they spelled it correctly!
It may look like a blue crab (is the princess feeling blue today? is her disposition crabby? or is she naughty and caught something?!), but the decoration's actually done rather well.
Lack of ears is the least of that bear's problems.. unappetizing swirls and a shocked, mal-formed face seem a bit more serious!
"giant cookie" Love it!
Someone, please show that wreckerator a pic of the ever-adorable Kermie! Head shape... and tongue-less (thankfully with a missing fly!)
The princess tiara makes me feel like I am looking at someone's dyed fallopian tubes. Not exactly what I want to be thinking of when I eat cake:)

wv: Paishin
I was losing my paishin when I couldn't figure out what these cakes were supposed to be. Then the bakery put labels on them for me - how nice!
Oh. Never mind.
LOL I thought the same thing about Kermie - looks like a sick Pacman. Maybe from smokin' too much.
*snicker* Giant Cookie *snicker* Here's your sign!
So... is it a cupcake cupcake cake or a cupcake cake of cupcakes? Maybe it'd be easier to write it as 2(cup) + 2(cake) cake? Or should it be (cup + cake)² cake? Okay, let's steer clear of that territory... I haven't done any sort of mathematical equation in at least 10 years. Not even one involving cupcakes.
Who bit the ear off the teddy bear, neatly placed the cover back on, and put it back out for sale?
The poor Teddy Bear reminds me of the cartoon I saw of the Chocolate Rabbit Hospital...an ear missing here, a leg bitten off there...where are his poor ears?
Okay, the "princess crown" looks like a blob flexing its muscles. *flex*
Actually, my wv. is the description for all of them: messess
Poor Kermit.
I think they won't be sued by Disney[*] for copyright/brand infringement. Because that thing, like in the old Lassie book, looks nothing like the real Kermit. Maybe that's what the wreckerators were going for.
[*]As far as I could figure from the 'net, Disney owns the rights to Kermit. Strange but True.
The cupcake cupcake cake with the word "CUPCAKE" on it has just caused legions of hipsters to declare "We're totally beyond cupcakes. Now it's all about pie."
WVW:
cocoprew: A beer made of chocolate and prawns.
Okay, so we have to label everything now.
Snarky Comment about cakes:
"Kermit" looks like he's performing a lewd act on the word "the". I guess Sesame Street has really changed since I was a kid! This episode was brought to you by the number 69.
Snarky comment about word verification word:
WV: buthoust
The word that popped into my mind was "butt house"
Kermit looks like he is smoking a doobie.
A cupcake cupcake cake???? My brain just exploded.
i laughed so loud at danger boy's "3-day bender" comment that the kids came down to see the new wrecks.
wv - hendispe: if you hendispe-n to me, i drawle on yer cekc.
that poor teddy bear looks like it's getting sucked into a black hole!
Haha! Thats so funny! The labels don't help much. It seems like the baker knows that the cake is bad. :D
There is NO WAY that is a princess crown. The baker must think he has a sense of humor.
