Would you like ham thinly sliced?
Would you like eggs nicely iced?

Seriously, lady.
I AM NOT EATING THIS.
Thanks to Tracy C. for inspiring me to lay off ham sandwiches for a while. (But never deviled eggs. Why can't I quit you, you eggy devils, you?!)

Looks like the pictures I've seen of MSP (mechanically separated poultry).
This is what happens when the Corporate Office believes that it is beneficial to cross train employees. In this case swapping the bakery staff with the meat counter staff.
Google Smorgastarta. I think that may be what's going on here...
KIM: There's a reason I'm a vegetarian.
it is one thing to wreck a cake but a whole 'nother kettle o' pig intestines to wreck my childhood
(sobbing) NO.MORE.SEUSS.WRECKING!! for the love childhoods' past
@Gail the thing on top appears to be a conch shell. no, I don't know why.
@mel you swine! (great pun)
@Jaimz now you can tell brides that draping CAN be done in buttercream but it looks like pig intestines. that ought to settle it once and for all :D
Ham?? Not ham but intestines. Oh how do these go sooooo wrong; so often?
This reminds me of that Heston Blumenthal thing where Heston was trying to recreate a Roman feast and he filled a whole pig with sausages that were supposed to look like intestines... Ah, those wacky Romans!
Oh well thanks I think I just barfed a little.
Gag.. ugh that looks seriously scary lol. I honestly hope that wasn't someones wedding cake. I would seriously change my name and move if I were that wreckerator especially if it is a wedding cake. I also now want to eat some eggs..thanks lol.
This was my submission, hurray I am famous. A little background, this cake, and two other beauties were in a window display next to a very busy sidewalk in Rome, Italy at a professional bakery. My dreams came true stumbling across a cake wreck!
I think it is supposed to be a calla lily cake. And the "intestines" are supposed to be draped fabric? I think I'm being too nice!
This reminds me of the pink goo from Ghostbusters 2. Do you think the cake will dance with a little music and happy thoughts?
When I looked at this photo, my first thought was that a Dr Who alien had climbed on the cake!
Shows that I'm watching far more Dr Who than reading Dr Seuss. :-)
The first thing that came to mind was: "Dear God, what is that thing?"
Thank you. I will be showing this to any future students who aren't happy with their first attempt at cala lillies. Literally none of them have ever made any as bad as this. Ever.
Pink slime.
This is what happens when the butcher, baker and candle stick maker get bored and decide to collaborate. Either that or the butcher and baker killed the candle stick maker and those are his intestines on the cake. It's a tough call...
ikwig, Thank you so much for clearing that up. RAINBOWS! Are you serious! Someone must be completely color blind. Not just, reds look green or brown, but NO color at all, except maybe yellow. They got that right. Even now that I know what they were 'supposed' to be, NO WAY! NU-UH, NO HOW! NEGATORY! just NO!
@essjaytee - Yes it does! Green is now the 1st item on the list instead of being an adjective describing the color of the eggs & ham. Now it says she does not like green OR eggs OR ham. And you may notice that the 'eggs' and 'ham' (i.e. intestine-y things) are *not* green, hence the *slight* alteration of this familiar rhyme to accomodate the Wreck displayed below.
Although, I happen to know (as most Cake Wreck & Epbot readers do) that Jen LIKES GREEN! After all, she painted her toenails green at least once cuz she blogged about it!!! :-) But it would *totally* ruin the rhyme & story if the word 'green' was removed. So there.
PS Quit raggin' on her Most Supreme Snarky Highness, already! Shoo! (grabs nunchuks & throwing stars...Hiiii-YAH!!!)
I mean, I GET that it's SUPPOSED to be drapery, something akin to this cake from Cakes by Erika, but....
Apparently there are just a lot of wedding cake bakers out there who A) don't know how to use most of the cake-making materials or tools and B) don't want to know. :P
Nice poem!
On the other hand, what is that... that.... THING-CAKE.
Pink rainbows, intestines, lilies, egg-flowers...
ug.
