Well, THAT'S Handsy
October 1, 2013 You know those cringe-inducing pregnancy photos where the mom-to-be's mostly naked and the shirtless dad is standing behind her caressing her belly, and all you can think is how you don't even like going to the pool in a bikini, but here they are, all up in yo' Facebook feed, smirking the smirk of the freshly procreated?
Well, doesn't that sight make you, like, totally hungry?
;)
NEEDS MOAR HANDS.
If you'll excuse me, Katie A., I'll just be over here screaming forever. (And they're saying my doll-and-butcher-knife mobile is creepy. YEESH.)
PS - I just had a lengthy conversation with John about that ring and hand placement. That has to be the pointer finger, guys. IT HAS TO. Otherwise, ouch.

It's a beautiful flower. With spiders. Gross looking flesh colored spiders.
Yeah.
You are totally correct about the pointer finger. And...it's the right, not left, hand. Wrecktastic!
In the inimitable style of Paul Anka...
Handing my baby
What a lovely way to show the world we're...
Double-jointed?
We just spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to make the rings work -- fun for the whole family!!!! Our final conclusion -- they're circus people.
P.P.S. Not only are the rings on the wrong fingers, they are on the wrong hands. Assuming they are supposed to be wedding rings, of course.
Not only are the rings on the pointer fingers, they are also on the right hands instead of the left hands.
I like the fact that their wedding rings are not only on the wrong finger, but the wrong hand as well. These cakes are creepy but at least they aren't realistic enough to make you actually think you are cutting into a person. Now I challenge one of your Sunday Sweets bakers to get out their airbrushes and piping bags and make one of these that looks like a REAL pregnant woman lying there with no head or limbs. Now THAT would turn me off cake.
Just assume those two bumps are legs and MAGIC! The rings are on the right fingers/hands.
The hands are all inside her shirt! Nothing human bends like that. I'm seeing some kind of tentacled alien.
I say we bug out and nuke the site from space. It's the only way to be sure.

Oh, and Jen, your doll and butcher knife mobile IS creepy -- perfect, but creepy. Has John slept at all since you lovingly constructed it?
LOL Sharyn!
Any chance this is a Russian wreck? In Russia the wedding band is worn on the right hand.
The rings are on the right fingers and the right hands ( which would be left) if the boobs were on the bottom. They put the belly on upside down!
They look like they are about to throw that thing at me...
Aww..it's a... Wreck! Those baby belly cakes scare me. This one with mutant hands scares me even more!

The rings are on the correct hands and fingers *if* those two bumps in the top of the picture are her legs instead of her boobs! Since they're so misshapen, they totally could be chopped off legs.
OF COURSE!!!! THAT'S IT! They have created the ultimate diet cake. NOBODY will ever eat THAT monstrosity.
I call Epcot on the hands/rings!! LOL
Not only is it the wrong finger, it's the wrong hand!
reminds me of the spoof scene of Ghost in Naked Gun where a third set of hands showed up in the pottery wheel scene....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_LfUmdR2Mo
In several cultures, the wedding ring is worn on the right hand...but always on the 'ring finger.'
I have a baby shower to go to in a month....I'm a little scared of what the cake will be....even if well done, these body cakes are so WRONG.
Perhaps there's something wrong with me (what am I saying, I KNOW there's several things wrong with me, though not in a particularly lethal way), but I don't think your mobile is that creepy. It doesn't appeal to me, but it doesn't startle me, either. On the other hand, I've never spit any liquid out any orifice as many of my compatriots seem to. I have smiled, and even chuckled briefly, but never choked. I'm just not that demonstrative. Am I A. B. Normal?
Those hands must be upsidedown and backwards. A common mistake, obviously...NOT. Creepy cake, HANDS DOWN!
People, people. You are thinking about this too much.
Just look at the picture, then go off to the side and scream with Jen. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Don't think about it too much because, after all, its a WRECK. It doesn't make sense.
At least not in this universe.
To the tune “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey”

We’re so sorry little fingers
We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain
We’re so sorry little fingers
But we’ve got to get this shot
So we’re sorry for the sprain
We’re so sorry
But we couldn’t get this shot right all day
We’re so sorry little fingers
The main problem seems to be
Don’t know where to put the rings
This is us, little fingers
But we haven’t taken a bloody shot all day
We’re so sorry little fingers
But the picture must be shot
No matter what your neurons may say
Hands around the baby
(Baby)
Heads removed, O my
Hands around the baby
(Baby)
Heads removed, O my
Little fingers notified me
Had to have a rest or they’d fall right off me
I took another shot and we had a cup of tea and butter pie
(Butter pie)
(My fingers wouldn’t work, almost put one in my eye)
Hands around the baby
(Baby)
Heads removed, O my
Hands around the baby
(Baby)
Heads removed, O my
‘Twine your fingers, let’s get ready, hands around
(Hands around)
Get your fingers ‘twined around
‘Twine your fingers, hands around
‘Twine your fingers, let’s get ready, hands around
(Hands around)
Get your fingers ‘twined around
‘Twine your fingers, hands around
Hands around the baby

Heads removed, O my
Hands around the baby

Ooooooo,oooooooo,oooooooo
Epcot! So nice to see you, again. What has kept you?
Making sure to get the rings in there lest anyone who has known the subject for years (who else would be viewing this in person?) get the wrong idea: check.
Failing to put the prominently-displayed rings on the correct fingers: check
Failing to think, "OK, I'm looking at this from the front, so left is right and vice versa": check
Having an utterly wrecktastic sense of proportion: check (Talking about the hands, people. Ok, maybe not just the hands.)
If the bumps were legs, the thumbs would be pointing down, so it still doesn't work. "Thumbs down" is a phrase that does leap to mind, though.
Regarding the cake-creepy but well done, even though the rings are off. The mobile is creepy, but perfect for those families really into halloween O_o
The ring/finger/hand placement was seriously the first thing that occurred to me. The cake itself didn't faze me at all. Have I been reading too much CakeWrecks?
Nah. No such thing.
They look like GOOD STRONG HANDS.
Nice to see the rock biter got married instead eaten by the nothing.
I actually think the picture is upside down. She has leg stumps and no boobs which makes the wreck even better! Worse? ...? Anyway, the most disturbing part for me is that both sets of hands are inside the pink wrap/blanket/sari/bed sheet thing. Ugh, can't wait for the pregnant belly cake to fall out of trend. It's so unappetizing. No cake should ever have an outie. I'm going to go look at Jen's doll and knives mobile some more to get the picture of this cake out of my head. *shudder*
@mel: "Heads removed, oh my."
Oh my, indeed! After I get done with this I'm going out to mow the lawn, and that line is going to make me giggle the whole time. And make the neighbors wonder. . . .
I think if Inigo Montoya saw this cake, he'd run away screaming in terror. Along with the rest of us.
That mobile in the clicked link is TO DIE FOR! It has an extremely charming "Village of the Damned" vibe (1960 version).The bunny "doll" looks nearly identical to an antique bunny that I have, but mine is dressed in a flowered clown suit. It's pretty weird. I love it.
Oh, mel! That was one of my favorite songs!! Do you know what you've done?? You taken a non-sad song, and made it BET -er er er!!!
=^~.-^=
traditionally Jewish couples wear the ring on the right index finger.
The hands are terrifying. Maybe creepy handed people wear their wedding rings on the wrong hand and finger.
It's a nice belly button though.
Rings on the right index finger is a Jewish tradition.
I think they made the belly and hands first before they made the boobs. Then they put the boobs on the wrong side of the belly.
Why are the rings on the right hands?
In Jewish culture, the wedding ring is traditionally placed on the right-hand index finger of the bride's hand. (Just FYI.)
It's actually a tribute to Asian horror films. "Ringu", anyone?
That's my story, and the voices say I should stick to it.
Note: Not all cultures wear weddings bands on their left hands. That being said, I know of no culture that wears them on the pointer fingers. :D
"...all up in yo' Facebook feed" Bahaha...I just DIED!
@sandy Would the belly cakes really be better with innies?! LOL At least they aren't printing actual birth photos on edible photo stuff and plopping those down on cakes! Oh! Crap! I just have some wrecky individual out there an idea!
Why even bother to put the boobs? As if the cake wouldn't make sense without them??
Are we sure this wasn't for a traditional Jewish couple? They would wear their wedding rings on their right index fingers.
Even if the couple are traditional Jewish, or Russian Orthodox, or European Catholic, the rings are still on the wrong fingers and the whole thing is CREEPY. Yeeeech, another idea to add to my list of "never, ever, ever, suggest to anyone that their cake should be like this."
It's a modern hands-on Dad!
Apparently, Rakshasa's *can* reproduce. (true fact: once introduced a rakshasa into a D&D party and put his miniature on the table, one I'd converted especially for the occasion. Noone bothered to look closely enough to see that I'd cut, drilled, and pinned each hand to the opposing wrist so that the fingers appeared to flex the wrong way) Oddly, a lot of what gamers think they know about these critters comes from a single episode of Kolchak: The Night Stalker. No, the good one from the '70s. Well, for certain values of the word "good."
Not while I'm eating.
Keep your navel over there.
Get these curtains fixed.
While it is true that the ring is put on the right index finger of the bride at a Jewish wedding, it is not true that it is traditional to continue wearing it that way. I have never once among all the observant Jews in my circles seen a woman wear her wedding ring on the index finger after the ceremony . . . not even for the rest of the wedding, let alone beyond that. It is transferred to the left ring finger after the chuppah ceremony.
