Weekly Wreck Up 2/7/14
February 7, 2014 Some of my favorites that came in this week:
;)
Oooh, Let's is!
How I know Valentine's Day is coming:
;)
Stop picturing the swirly things as legs. Stop picturing the swirly things as legs. Stop picturing...
And after that, Mardi Gras!
;)
Which is clearly flipping us all off for not knowing a fleur-de-lis when we see one.
(Btw, why is this on shelves already? Mardi Gras is in March, bakers! MARCH!)
***
[Update: Everyone else: "It's actually traditional to sell King Cakes from January through Mardi Gras."
Me: "That's a KING CAKE?!"]
***
And while you're chewing on that mystery, here's another:
;)
WHAT UP
(If you can stare at anything besides that blue ball Mr. Baldy McParachute-Pants is squatting on, then you're a better woman than I.)
Still, the crown jewel of this week's collection - the veritable pièce de résistance, if you will - has to be this thing:
;)
What.
the actual.
heck.
Thanks to Karyn S., Debi S., Robbie B., Lacey F., & Sarah W. for the magical ant-infested breakfast floating over an instagrammed landscape, because, seriously, I couldn't even make this stuff up.

Ok, I hate to say this, but I look at that "king cake" and all I see is a optimistic representation of a male body part leaking green. uck.
What up? It a turkey!
Aw, c'mon Beth, the giant blue ball adds some spendor!
So if those are supposed to be legs, what is the heart shaped thing supposed to be? Maybe something similar to that we would see on some of those baby birthing cakes that needs to be blurred out? Just sayin'
King Cakes are to Mardi Gras what Fruit Cakes are to Christmas. What doesn't get eaten just gets put away til next year. This is why they both have green stuff in/on them. To make the moldiness seem less obviious!
Jen... jen... jen. You ruined wikipedia, you know. Search 'King cake' and the article image? The weirdo one you posted posted oh so long ago. Not an actual cake, a wreck. As a reference pic.
Nice.
Guys, guys... the last one is CLEARLY sperm n'eggs with buttered ketchup-bacon and poo on some out-of-date chinaware!
If king cakes are available, can an EPCOT be far behind?
If I had to guess, I think the last one is supposed to look like fried eggs with pepper, bacon and a sausage patty on a plate. That's the best I got.
That last one is two eggs overrun by ants, two strips of bacon on the side and flower=flour=bread=toast with a glob of nutella on top. :)
@ Jen, Sharyn, and Little Boy Blue
Mr. Baldy McParachute-Pants.
Why is my one big ball blue?
Don't It Make My One Ball Blue (with apologies to Crystal Gayle)
Seriously? You guys are killing me today! Killing me!
These are hilarious but, you make laugh more than any photos ever on this site. Such a riot you are. Thanks for always making me truly laugh out loud. :)
That can't be a King's Cake -- if it were, the rays of awesomeness emanating forth would strike down anyone approaching within a mile </suckup>.
I need a refresher course on how King's Cakes are made, if someone would kindly oblige.
<Moohahahahahaha>
If those swirly things are legs, then the owner of said legs is built differently than I. Knees don't generally bend that way.
Of course, she (it seems more feminine, if we're interpreting it as anatomy) could have just been in an accident. Somehow, that takes the romance out though.
Well after the leg comment all I can see now is a vajay jay with legs lmao. Honestly wonder what wreckerators actually use as a basis for some of these things..then again I may be better off not knowing.
Thanks for posting my pic (#2 "I Love You" creepy uterus-ish cake)....and on my bday no less! That made my day today! My whole family has been screaming with laughter at all the comments here and on your Facebook page! 😄
@cybrczech, so glad someone else saw meatwad from ATHF in #2
Yum! Raw bacon, ant-infested eggs and a brown disk that I insist on believing is a sausage patty (never mind what it looks like; it's sausage, I tell ya!). Who wants breakfast?
I thought that Baldy McParacute Pants was Macklemore...you know, because he walks into the club like "what up, it my birthday"
Why are the flowers on fire and why are there ants on my eggs? WHY WHY WHY?
This is entirely not cake-related, but so giggle-worthy, I had to tell SOMEONE. Eldest Daughter has recently begun taking Health & Human Development Classes in school (more commonly known as Sex Ed). Yesterday I was helping her dress after her bath. She looked up with big blue eyes and said, "Good thing we covered up my p..." "Your what?" I said, not hearing the last word. "My...penis," she whispered shyly. It was all I could do to keep a straight face. "Umm...sweetheart, you don't have one of those," I said as gently as I could. "Only boys do. Yours is called 'a pubic area'. But it still is private." Then I went into another room and busted a gut. Apparently she needs to pay more attention in those classes.
the swirly one is a hurricane symbol (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/1f300/index.htm). Since the cake is about love, that *totally* makes sense
Mr. Baldy is suppose to be Macklamore I'm guessing. In his fur coat.
The fleur de lis looks like a wonky clover.
King Cake Debacle.
Dat aint no king cake!
I dont no what dat is?
King Sward maybe!
But it aint no king cake!
What d grill mus b' think'n. is who d heck is grilln' flowrs wit der candy canes!
Tim
Last one definitely has sunny side eggs liberally sprinkled with tadpoles,
I think the last one is a Breakfast Picnic. With flowers and ants, of course!
The Crazy song was BRILLIANT!
I didn't see the swirly things as legs, I thought the whole thing was a giant weather symbol for a hurricane. "Your love is like 130 m.p.h. winds and millions of dollars in property damage." It could work.
That first cake is calling to me - I want to see a series of "Let's [verb] snow!" cakes. Let's FIND snow! Let's JUMP snow! Let's EAT snow! Let's THROW snow! Let's LOVE snow! Let's THINK snow! Let's IS snow! Yeah!
I think Mr "What up? It my birthday" is a vulture. And, well, if vultures like to talk like rappers on their birthdays, who am I to argue? It's no sillier than Talk Like a Pirate Day (<rant> ...when we celebrate ruthless murderers and thieves by forgetting the historical fact that only one recorded pirate ever had a wooden leg, only one recorded pirate ever made anyone walk off a plank, zero recorded pirates ever kept parrots and nobody in history ever talked "like a pirate" outside of a movie studio. The only think crazier is calling Ned Kelly (another murderer & thief) a national (Australian) hero! </rant>)
The reason why king cakes are sold from January is because they are a mix of the French culture - in France they have a traditional 'Galette des rois' - (King Cake) - with a fève inside (a little plastic token - I got Harry Potter one year!). But it is done for the Epiphany(beginning of January and when the Kings arrived at the birth of Jesus, end of the 12 days of Christmas) not Mardi Gras. So some cultures now sell them for both!
I've just been hiding I'm the Andrea's Spa portion of the bunker. I really like what you've done with the place! Welcome back @Craig!
The last cake looks to me like breakfast on a flowery plate - eggs with salt/pepper sprinkled on, bacon, and...a sausage patty? Not sure, but I think that's what's going on.
that last one is breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage) on what is probably supposed to be a cake replicated as "fine China".... yeah... maybe if I squint my eyes.
