Castle Came-A-Lot
April 12, 2012 Making a castle cake?
Then here's a tip (or seven):
;)
Photo removed at the baker's request. Please enjoy this lovely picture of Epcot.
Always use protection.
As you can see, King Richard erected a castle here so safe it's absolutely guaranteed that nothing comes in OR out, no matter how hard the wind blows.
ACTUAL CONVERSATION I JUST HAD WITH JOHN:
John: "Uh, Jen, it was King Arthur, not King Richard."
Me: [deadpan stare]
John: "Oh! Ahahahaa! Ok, I like where your head's at."
Me: "Tell it to King Richard, dude."
A seven turret salute to Sarah for finding a cake where the rubber meets the moat.

@diddleymaz... And how many female Allisons(Alice's son), Shirleys, and Marions do you know? I know at least twenty(including both me and my mother).
@mel - perfection!
This is quite the giggle-induser, which is probably not what King Richard was aiming for..
@Bea -- The Friendly Giant fair takes me back, that does. It was on a UHF station in southern Cal that required a lot of fiddling with dials to receive. "Look up and see the big boot..."
There was a King Richard the Lionheart in actual history, if memory serves. Not that I remember actual history that far back, but I remember reading about him. [Checks Wikipedia]
Yes, some *perfectly innocent* wreckerator put a lot of time and effort into creating something innocently perfect. Right. One sees so many pink castles with shiny, un-turrety turrets that are a darker shade of pink. Would this be the same person who created the Fireman Cake, by chance? At least it doesn't have a fountain.
I just hope Aubrie is at least
1821.Now playing on the mental soundtrack: David Gates. Make it stop.
That is quite the pink castle! Very erect indeed!! Snicker!!
I wonder if the "towers" can be used as vibrators? They come in so many sizes!
I think this is the cockiest post yet!
If they made it purple and replaced the flags with rainbow ones, they could really expand their market!
That. Is. AWESOME.
Anyone have a Bachelorette Party come-ing up?
I know you said King Richard, but I keep thinking of Lancelot...
Haha first thing I thought of was Dirk Diggler haha
oooooh, a Marvin Lee Aday reference! Thanks, Jen!
That cake suffers from Turrets syndrome.
@keltikat My name is Marion!! and I am female its a female name a diminuative of Mary of early maedieval Italian origin
Alison is a female name and means noble bred Allison is a surname not a first name .
Shirley is the name of several places in the UK and as such was pre Bronte Sisters book of the same name an unusual male name it then became a relativley popular female name and as such could be used for either.
Aubrey means king of the fairies and as such is meant to be a mans name,
PS we have had 3 King Richards , and I am a suporter of King Richard III victim of the propaganda of the Tudor dynasty that overthrew him. Richard II was the Black Princes son overthrown by Henry IV and youve all heard of Richard the Lion Heart who spent most of his time away from England.
Good thing those are flags and not balloons.
Someday, my son, all this will be yours.
What, the curtains??
If this cake lasts longer than 4 hours, please consult a physician.
Bet that took a long time to ERECT! Bwahaha!
My little daughter, age 4 1/2 looked at this cake and said, "Can I have a cake like that for my birthday?" Well sweetheart, no, but I might try to make a pink castle that won't make the parents at the party wonder "What was she thinking?" I'm just glad she can't read yet and wouldn't have gotten the comments even if she could. I'm just hoping that Aubrie was still in that oblivious innocence stage of life.
XDXDXDXDXD
Thanks, I needed that. =D
blush: imagine the expression of the faces of the other moms at the party???
OH MY!
Bwahahahahah.... Thanks Andrea.... totally singing AC/DC now!!
Well...either somebody is overcompensating or somebody has "tower" envy....
And at least it wasn't blue....that's a whole other ball of.....uhhhh hidden treasure...
@ Tricia..."The baker nailed it!" Bwahahahahahaha!
Ahhh yes. The pink penis palace. I'd hate to see the king's crown
and all i can think of is Miracle Max from The Princess Bride...
"Bye boys...have fun storming the castle!"
Are you sure that's not the Castle Anthrax? ..."The beds here are warm and soft... and very, very big."
So few cakes these days are ribbed for her pleasure.
Me thinks King Richard may have been over compensating for something!
Sorry, my little dud was just watching Shrek this morning...and this just seemed like the perfect time to use that one! :)
Thanks for the laugh!
As if the cake wasn't funny enough, the conversation between you and John really "took the cake" *ba-dum-tisshhhhhhhh*
@mel...aaaaaahahahahahaha!!!!!!
I have almost posted so many comments today, but I just couldn't do it. Everything I think of is far too rude. So I will simply point out that almost every tower has a heart on it.
My three year old says that's not funny at all. It's beautiful. It has hearts!
(She also reprimanded me sternly for the ensuing hysterical laughter.)
Oh Poor King Richard of Came-a-lot
He seemed to be off of his game a lot.
Seven towers erect
Did his problem correct.
Now he need not hang his head in shame a lot.
I saw this post and had to laugh because my sister (who is not at all a professional cake decorator, but gives it a go when it comes to making her kids' birthday cakes fun) just made a castle cake for my niece's 12th birthday to take to school. Her cake doesn't look anything like this, but it also couldn't be used in an ad for Trojan, so I call it a win.
@Salaanb - "E-Wreck-tion." I am dying.
Those, um, turrets wouldn't happen to be, say, slightly re-shaped twinkies, would they?
As a mother of twin daughters (who are just starting to enter that drama-filled land known as The Tween Years), I find myself hoping that Aubrie was still young and innocent enough to squeal at her shiny pink castle cake. Now the grownups...I can just see them snorting behind their hands. Are those actual CONDOMS?!?
@Naomi - I had the same question! What about those top 3??
@ Mel - So funny, you deserve a knighthood!
John: "Oh! Ahahahaa! Ok, I like where your head's at."
*blinks*
Must stop studying psychoanalyst theorists before coming to Cake Wrecks.
Otherwise, EVERYTHING becomes a Freudian slip.
A pepto pink phallic palace. King Richard must be whistling that catchy "extendz" tune.
My favorite part is when the hunchback goes up to the highest tower in that castle and just rings the bell for all he's worth!
DONG..... DONG..... DONG.....
Yep, it's just magical.
OH dear. Guess what I just finished? Yep. Castle cake w/8 errrr, turrets. No they really DO look like turrets!!!! Well, at least I think they do. Ok, going back to check. Nope they're definitely turrets. I hope.
True confession time...I didn't get it at first. Until I got to Lynne's "painful" comment. Yep, I'm slow. And old. And really really busy making TURRETS!!! Really.
It could be worse.
They could have put balloons instead of flags.
You know, those classic wreckerator balloons that look like....
Dang, I hoped someone remembered the batteries!
At first I thought they were diaphragms.
I am SOo.. saving this idea for a suitable "girls night" party.
I have castle envy in seven different sizes! :-D
So THAT'S where my diaphragm went....you could have left a note!
Great merciful heavens. That's just...I mean...really? For a cake? Ewwww...
