Keep It Simple, Stupid
January 15, 2013 Bride-to-be Coley got engaged in Hershey Park, so for her bridal shower her friends thought it would be fun to have a giant Hershey Kiss cake. Cool idea, right? Especially since, as far as shaped cakes go, a kiss shouldn't be that hard - I mean, it's not like it's a football helmet or anything.
In fact, while looking for a reference just now I found this one by Carrie of Half Baked. It's actually a cupcake, but c'mon: SO CUTE.
So just imagine this, only bigger. That's what they wanted for Coley's shower.
Instead, Coley's sister Tammy sent me a picture of what they did get, along with many emphatic assurances that yes, they actually paid for it (though "only" about $60), and yes, it was made by an actual "cake decorator" - though I should note she did put that part in quotes.
The cake was wrapped in tinfoil, a brilliant move on the "decorator's" part if ever I saw one, since that way no one saw the cake's true glory until it came time to serve it at the party.
At which point they unwrapped it to reveal...
....this:
Um...
Ok, call me crazy, but is that top reminding anyone else of those creepy weed guys in Ursula's lair?
;)
No? Just me?
Ok then.
Thanks to Tammy and Coley for the kiss and tell.

Thanks, Coley! We're greedy here and always want More Info. :D
Vkelley totally called it on this one; full-on Alien Egg/Pod action! Nuke that sucker from orbit (shrug) It's the only way to be sure.
This kind of reminds me of that mountain the grinch lives on
I can't stop laughing. I expected it to be bad, but not THAT bad.
I suspect the first one was tiny and the one they got was party sized. I'm not sure how you would make that large and nice and smooth too.
p.s.... it would be awesome if we could "like" people's comments like on FB. Some of these are awesome and they never hear our appreciation.
Looks like a black market kidney. Maybe a sunburned vulture? I hope to God no one ate it...or released the creature inside.
Please, never go to "thumbs-up" or "like" or any other method for people to approve of comments with a simple click.
You know how when you can't stop laughing and then your ribs start hurting? I know the bride and her friends were disappointed, but dang that thing looks like a turd with a handle. I am still laughing and now I am crying. OMG, that is funny!
Thanks for the laugh for the day - I laughed so hard I think I stopped breathing! Just found your site and it is amazing and fun!
Never hit a buzzing piñata. . .
I was at this shower. The inside of this monstrosity was red velvet! It looked even worse when cut.
