Thanks to Anony M., Jennifer M., Matt M., Katie T., Maggie P., Sally N., Tracie T., Jennalee, & Lauren L. for the excuse to use John's favorite post title again.
Note from john: Someone just told me they were done with Cake Wrecks because Jen didn't give you guys the answer in the comments in a timely manner. Honestly, we thought it was fun seeing your guesses. Well, as far as we know, it's the Mad Men logo and a teapot. Unless we're wrong. Merry Christmas!

Just to remark - if the first bonus wreck really is the Mad Men logo, while the cake is sort of a wreck - the logo isn't all that poorly executed. Of course the jauntily placed party hat is horribly, horribly done and the cigarette in Don Drapers hand is less execution than smear.
But still.
I am going to hold up a sold 7 for effort on the logo and, well, 2 for the rest of the cake. Now back to our regularly scheduled baby otter videos.
Since the last one vaguely resembles a teapot, I'm guessing it's not that.
Pop quiz #1) Black Swan (Wreckerator1:"What does a swan look like?" Wreckerator2:"Kinda like a duck, only longer.")
#2) I join everyone else on tea pot. Or possibly Alice in Wonderland.
I don't watch mad men, so not sure about the 2nd to last one, but I think the last one could either be a teapot as others have guessed, OR a princess carriage...
hmmm... the first one reminds me a whale? Or a humpback whale wearing a christmas hat? Or is it supposed to be some nautilus or submarine...??? Or a Seal wearing a christmas hat from seaworld??
Wait Wait..... Is it the shadow of a sled with a dark shadow of a santa wearing a bright christmas hat??
Well, the second is clearly a teapot, but lopsided and doing a jig! Or it's mrs teapot from beauty and the beast...
the first is cleary robin hood. . .see the arrow? the second is the new york skyline
1st one is the Mad Men logo with a party hat. The 2nd one is a tea pot.
First bonus: a loon with a red bill
Second bonus: it looks for all the world like a teapot, so that's probably not it…maybe a decorative chair?
And that school bus: why the floating stop sign (or was that supposed to be the flashing light, or the sign from the side of the bus that didn't fit)? are the "platypus nostrils" made of cheese crackers? and the windows usually go on the top…even with distorted perspective...
1) a long black duck
2) I'm a little teapot!
1. Mad Men logo.
2. It looks to me like the back of one of those fancy hand mirrors.
I think the first is a cannon, and the second a teapot.
I was thinking the first bonus was a cormorant in a party hat, because birthday - but now that I have seen the Mad Men logo, I can agree that it might be what the wreckerator was going for.
I see teapot for the second one.
I agree, that is no baseball mitt. I own one and it had no fingernails on it.
1. Helicopter
2. Teapot
I think the 1st unidentified frosted object is supposed to be a guy with a party hat waking up in a coffin with a killer hangover. 2nd is a teapot, which might contain his buddies' "sure fire hangover cure" that they give him, hen run away snickering.
#2 I thought tea pot at first but now I think it is a My Little Pony
The first one looks like an attempt at a Red-Throated Loon, Gavia stellata:
http://goo.gl/lw9JKS
Only loons and cormorants have that head-up posture.
#1 is obviously a walrus who is a fan of Dr Who. Fez's are cool!
Hooray that the cats liked it ! XD
#2 A teapot of awkward "fancy" princess dress. #1--being that it's a birthday cake and in black, my first thought was that it was a dead body. the red triangle, I dunno.
and those flip flops look like happy party pickles.
Ummm...so, since when do baseball gloves have fingernails???
As for the guessing game, I am going with either a duck or loon for the first one and Cinderella's coach for the second.
oh puleeze, sugar bowl- there's no spout! and the previous one is obviously Dr. Who riding a sperm whale that spontaneously appeared in the middle of outer space due to the infinite probability drive. Not that I'm trying to cross streams or anything but Zaphod being a time lord would explain a few things...
A seal and Cinderella's carriage
I agree that the first one is a baseball bat and a baseball, but I think the second might be Cinderella's coach!
First Bonus Question: Woodpecker on a tree that has fallen
Second Bonus Question: As everyone else has stated, a teapot
Second to last - Dead man waking?
Last one - either a teapot or a really fat gnome with no neck jamming out.
If you rotated the Seahawks cake 180 degree, it could pass for one of those foam fingers you see at stadiums. Except we know that wasn't the intention because if you did that the letters would be upside down.
Second to last cake, and I am only guessing this because of the red/black/somewhat grayish color scheme, possibly a vampire rising from a coffin?
I think the first one is a Whale... and the second one is definitely a teapot...
Evil grinning Jen
Is playing mind games with us
Too funny for sure.
"And then I saw the fingernails." ... *SHUDDER*
A lit cigar and the teapot from that disney movie.... whatever its called. What was it called? The ugly guy and the hot chick?
Having never seen Mad Men, I'll take people's word on the first one. The second one is probably an alien teapot.
I will also ask the question as to why there would be fingernails on the outside of a baseball mitt. The world may never know.
@msanthrope It totally would!! Like the extra arm and head- Possibly regeneration gone wrong?
Guy getting out of his coffin, and a teapot.
First bonus: baseball bat and ball
Second bonus: pretty sure it's santa's sleigh. But somewhere warm because of the flowers?!
Okay, since when do baseball gloves have fingernails? WTH?
The last two are a planer (as in the hand tool that smoothes things) and a teapot.
I agree with the majority, I would guess the last one to be a teapot. The other? Haven't a clue but I suspect that the recipient may have been a fan of the TV show DEXTER. :D
I am going with 1) a loon 2) a teapot
Did anyone else notice that the headlights/nostrils on the school bus/platypus look like pieces of Captain Crunch?
My first thought on the first one was an Egyptian mummy, like for an archaeologist's party. Then I thought a long flat duck. But then I thought the words looked like a logo (I don't watch Mad Men, sorry).
The second is a teapot.
I'm going to lie down now.
I think the first mystery is a fire hose...second one is definitely a warped tea pot!
Angela is right. My first thought was duck and teapot. Maybe a Peking duck that's been pressed and cooked until the laquer is nice and black.
Sexy reclining goth Santa.Duh.
A whale in a party hat and a teapot
I got nothing for the competition, as I'm firmly in the camp of thinking the last one is a teapot. However, can we talk about the platypus named School Bus? Yikes, is that a physically impossible design, or what? I'm guessing that was made for the first Wednesday in September, and probably was purchased by a harried room mother for a first grade class. The decorator clearly washed out of engineering school. The placement of the wheels will result in a tippy front end, and with all the tires on that side of the bus, it probably makes a scraping sound as it drives down the street. It should be easy for the little kids to board, though. No high first step if it is scraping the ground on the right hand side. I'm eager to hear suggestions about what the red CC in the corner actually is. It looks like Elmo, but I don't get the relevance with the platypus named School Bus.
I don't know about the other ones, but with a little more green stuff, the flipflops could be turned into a passable Christmas Wreath cake.
A luger in a party hat
Teapot?
I'm guessing Kazoo and teapot.
The flip-flops look like pickes in disguise.
Oooh... the first is curling... believe it's called a stone? they thing they wipe down the ice and then sweep along... It's not a puck, I know that much LOL
the second... first guess is a teapot...
