Random Weekly Roundup
September 28, 2012 Every week or so I sort through all the new submissions you guys have sent in. It's pretty fun, flipping through a random assortment of horror and hilarity all at once like that, so today I thought I'd share some of the ones from our latest batch that especially gave me the giggles:
Captain America Flees the Evil Laptop of Doom:
"Look out! IT'S ABOUT TO REBOOT!!"
(Yeah, yeah, I know it's not a laptop. It's a...um...briefcase? Of doom?)
Call me old fashioned, but I usually like my weddings and baby showers to at least get their own cakes:
Ooh, hey, do you think after they finished playing "dirty diaper," the bride threw it over her shoulder to a waiting crowd of toddlers? (Whoever catches it will be the next one potty-traaaained!)
And speaking of parties, it looks like the Greens did the Time Warp at this year's "runion":
;)
Hey, maybe they know the Browns! (You know, Doc Brown? Back to the Future? Oh, never mind.)
This next one isn't so much a wreck as it is my new favorite baker: Wreckporter Jen ordered a cake, and when asked what she wanted on it, she just said, "Surprise me."
This is what she got:
SURPRISE!
And finally, if you've ever wondered at what point your baker needs an intervention, this is that point:
;)
That, my friends, is a donut.
A donut with an ice-cream cone filled with solid icing crammed on top of it.
It's basically a sticky, loneliness-laced call for help.
Better eat it quick, before it gets too depressing.
Thanks to Michelle B., Kayla N., Carlton H., Jen J., and Rivit for the 'screams.

Nipples = Best. Wreck. Ever.
I want to meet the baker who did the nipples cake. It's AWESOME!
From Game Stop to Cake Shop, I pick you, Pika-chu!!! And your HUGE shiny red NIPPLES!!!
I predict a nipple bunker will be needed today.
I do believe the 3rd cake says "Greer." Which may or may not be their name. I hope they enjoyed their Runion anyway!
Oh and the doughnut is possibly the most awesome use of a completely obscene amount of frosting I've ever laid eyes on! It's kind of cute to be honest, but I can't imagine wanting to eat it.
Nipples = hilarious. That's what you get for leaving a wreckerator to his/her own devices! Haha!
Oh my word. Nipples.... I can't stop laughing.
Ice cream donut cake: There. Now it looks better.
Sung to “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”
Twinkle, twinkle frosted star
Hard to tell what flotsam are
Laptop or briefcase of DOOM
Either makes the Captain Zoom
Twinkle, twinkle frosted star
Hard to tell what flotsam are
Wink, wink , wink at R & K
Couldn’t wait for wedding day
They combined their registries
That’s efficiency to me!

Maybe they’ll be back this year
If they are, just watch your rear*

Nipple, nipple Pikachu
What that baker did to you!
I’d avoid the Pokemon
Until you put something on
Nipple, nipple Pikachu
What that baker did to you!
Donut, donut cry for help
Baker whimpers, moans and yelps
Eat it fast, too sad to see
Get some insulin for me?

*I had NO idea what runion meant until today
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Runion
oh boy ... note to self, never tell a baker to surprise me :O
a-hahaha!! hahaaa!!! *gasping for air*
The Pikachu nipples are awesome. How many opportunities does a person get to type "Pikachu Nipples?" Entirely not enough.
Pikachu Nipples Pikachu Nipples Pikachu Nipples. There. I am sated. ...for now. >_>
Hah! That pokemon nipple cake made me actually laugh. But quietly, because my husband is still sleeping.
I REALLY want that last one. An ice cream cone filled with icing? Does it get any better?
I'm crying. Nipples is my new favorite.
I don't think I'd have ever come up with the nipples of someone said "Surprise me." Kudos to the baker!
If I ever get so depressed that a giant donut covered in icing with an icecream cone on top full of more pure sugar positively glowing with e-numbers looks appetising, just shoot me!
I predict the 'nippes' baker will go far - sheer brilliance!
I would probably buy the pikachu cake
I think the briefcase is the powerful MacGuffin from "The Avengers." So it's actually pretty apt, if oversized. And Cap shouldn't be running away from it.
Maybe the 1912 cake is just very well preserved.
I know it's been said...but I want to be friends with the "nipple" baker...ALMOST as much as I want to be friends with the writers of this illustrious blog :)
"Nipples" made my day! It's a classic, right up there with the baby carrot jockeys. There are not enough snarky cakes in the world.
Meanwhile, it occurs to me that the misspelling issue has a deeper, more disturbing aspect to it. Because, when you think about it, the vocabulary required for cake inscriptions is really quite small. These Wreckers must write words like "Anniversary" several times a day. Which means that, even with all with that practice, they still screw it up. Jen, you should do a Letterman-style Top Ten Words A Decorator Should Know How To Spell post.
Also, now I want baby carrot jockeys with nipples!
Then again, maybe the Greer family has a single person with the surname "Runion", and they just wanted to acknowledge that...?
Oh wow, that is a real sugar cone on that Long John, isn't it?
I sing "cream", you sing "cream", we all sing "cream" for icing cream!
The donut: It's the birthday cake for those that don't have time to sit down and eat both cake and ice cream - just combine the two!
...admittedly, if I weren't allergic to milk, I'd so eat that happily. Team Icing!!!!
Of course they don't know the Browns. They weren't Browns in 1912. As clearly stated in BTF3, when Doc's family migrated to America, they were the von Brauns (possibly a subtle allusion to Vernher von Braun). His mother changed her name after the first World War to disassociate herself from Germany, a nation many despised at the time. Yes, I'm a dork. Don't be hatin'. :D
Ash was far too ashamed to continue his quest to become Pokemon Master.
Ohhhh....that Pikachu cake will have me giggling at inappropriate times for the next couple of days.
And the laptop (or briefcase).....of DOOM!!!!! Beware the blue screen of death!!!
Somehow I was picturing a Runion as a short marathon with everyone carrying, wearing, or otherwise being onion-bedecked. Trying to formulate that in a witty response, while scrolling down...
Nipples?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(sniff)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Usually when I check out this blog while eating, I do a quick glance to make sure I won't get grossed out. OK for today.
Unfortunately, when I got to the Nipples cake, I had a few bites of pear in my mouth. Thankfully, I avoided asphyxiation during my screams of hysterical laughter.
Oh, and then Sharyn had to post her song. And the link to the definition of "runion." My, that must be one happy, time-travelin' family!
And the donut with frosting: if depressed and ate this, you'd die of a sugar coma. Best way to go!
The nipple cake? Disturbingly awesome!
The icing cream donut? That one makes my teeth hurt o_O
And Sharyn, you have done it again! "Nipple, nipple Pikachu" Bahahahahah
The "nipples" cake looks like a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.
The Pikachu cake makes me ridiculously happy :D
1. Is the Cap playing against the Laptop of DOOM on some sort of basketball court or baseball field? Clearly I need to watch Captain America and/or Avengers again, because I just don't get it. : - )
2. I must know what it says just to the left of "Randy & Kayla"! There's something written there....3Hl? Is that the time? 3:41? The date? 3-11?
3. I hope, Sharyn, that this Family Runion is in reference to the Greer's ancestor, the very large Norwegian lumberjack. The other definitions are just unappetizing.
4. My favorite part of this cake is the arrow!
5. What? I don't think Americans have a problem with portion size at all.
I'm with Jeanette and isabella. I totally want that donut (wonder if it comes in chocolate...with more sprinkles).
Nipples!
I laughed so hard my 3 year old said, "WHAT?"
I'm going to be giggling over that one for days.
Thank you, Jen, you just made my day.
I heart any baker who comes up with Pokemon nipples when told "surprise me". It's goofy and surreal and smart-alecky and fricking hilarious.
Nipples. Heh. Love it.
Ok - I'm jumping on the nipple band wagon. Sweet baby Jesus is that funny! I've put some weird things on cakes - most requested by customers - but never have I seen that. So much love. I want to know who made that cake so I can send them business haha!
Sharyn, excuse me if I don't make a lot of sense here, but... Oh my!... I can't even... words fail... Why did you suggest to my brain the idea of discovering what "runion" means?! I never would have thought to investigate that on my own, and now I can't un-know it. It does give a whole new aspect the the question of whether they know the Browns, though.
Now I need to know, Jen; did you know what a runion was before this? Really, I can't think of many things that would be more of a surprise than Pikachu with bright red nipples on your cake, but I think the runion might do it!
I almost peed my pants when I saw the surprise cake! I've not commented before...but this one couldn't go by without letting you know that a leather chair is hard to wash pee out of.
Delurking to share this story which you may find amusing.
I'm a receptionist. I answer phones all day. I look at cake blogs in my down time. I had opened this post and was reading and surreptitiously snorting and giggling. The phone rang, and I picked it up just as I got to the pikachu cake....
Luckily, I was able to pretend I had a coughing fit so no one was insulted.
Thank you for the nipples cake! My in-laws are coming this weekend and I really needed a laugh. That did it! Totally inappropriate burst of giggles this weekend while I think of random, video game, nipple wearing characters. So needed.
Seriously. The picachu wreck made me laugh harder than I have in weeks.
...I work in the mid-East. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for that and GOD BLESS THAT BAKER.
The Nipples cake just got me busted at work. I really should stop visiting this site at work.
O.M.G....hahahahahahahaha...Nipple Cake...hahahahahahahahahaha.... I. can't. breathe.
:::deep breath::: hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is the baker who did the nipples cake? I want to order a cake from there and say "surprise me" and see what I end up getting.
Uh, Ashley P? You're among your fellow dork/nerd kind here. :-)
I love that Pokemon cake--Pikachu is so well-executed, yet *wrong* in such a...good way, I guess. I know that I want to be friends with that baker.
Oh Sharyn, you make my Cakewrecks experience complete <3
The "Nipples" cake is among the funniest wrecks I've ever seen on cake wrecks. I'm a long time cake wrecks reader, so that's definitely saying something.
The only thing that would make the Pikachu cake better is if there were teeny tiny little piercings.
I think the ice cream donut should have been given out as a party favor at the combo baby shower/wedding party. It would make as much sense as having just one cake for both events.
The nipple cake is priceless. Hopefully, it wasn't for a kid's birthday party!
Ermahgerd! Nerples!!
PLEASE tell us who that baker is! He/she should get the award for Best Baker Ever. :-)
