Fourth Coming Wrecks
July 4, 2014 And now, to celebrate the birth of our great nation, I give you...
Firework Cakes That Look Like Ding-Dongs
(I find it helps to hum the William Tell Overture as you scroll.)
(Oh, go on. You know you want to.)

And to all you phallic firework bakers out there:
;)
Thanks to Erin W., Maneka P., Brouk, Gail D., Elisabeth M., Jessica G., Holly Anne, & Dana S. for the reminder to always handle your fireworks with care, lest they go off prematurely.

"Ooooh! Ahhh! Wow! Look at that one! Spectacular!!!! Ooohh!!"
It's not the "William Tell Overture," but here goes...
Sung to "Yankee Doodle Dandy"
My, aren't Yankee doodles dandy?
They seem to pop up each July.
Looks like their bakers used Viagra, and
(I think it's been 4 hours, guys...)
Watch out for Yankee doodles, sweethearts
And if you find one, well, enjoy!!!
Yankee doodles come from bakeries
And that's no baloney!
Trust me, they are the real McCoy!
The recipient of the last cake deserves a cake.
And a rest.
A long, long rest...
Have a happy (restful) July 4 of everyone!
Oh, and this:
Three cheers for these firework cakes
For the bakers are one and all patriots
Their cakes look like dongs, it is true
But at least they are red, white and blue
Love of country just can’t be contained
But if it lasts for more than four hours
You should call a doctor for help
Your “firework,” it could be injured (ouch) forever!
Don't you mean the 1812 Overture? I tried it with the William Tell and it just didn't scan properly. But once I went back and hummed the 1812, well, Kaboom!
*Insert premature explosion joke* and thanks to all that service our nation ;)
The William Tell Overture? That's odd - fireworks usually make me think of the 1812.
Oh....my. I don't know for whom I feel worse -- the recipients of these wrecks or those lonely, lonely wreckerators who clearly had no idea what was depicted on those cakes!
Happy 4th everyone!
It did help to hum the overture whilst scrolling. Too funny!
I love these comments. But the first two had me rolling. Happy 4th everyone!
Personally, I think this should be sung to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA."
Because 'Merica.
If someone is going to get a cake, I think I should have been serviced more.
Agreed..1812 Overture. Unless the cakes depict shooting apples off people's heads....? But that's not very patriotic. .......Unless you did it with firecrackers!!!
Or, apparently, dongs.
Why do I even bother trying to drink coffee and look at your latest post at the same time? I just end up spewing it all over. One question - if they were asked to put a dong on those cakes would it end up looking like a firecracker?
Well done again, Sharyn and SuBee! I'll be humming those tunes all day! Happy 4th!!!
Sharyn and Suebee XD
To the William Tell Overture
(trumpet fanfare introduction)
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
Let your patriotism proudly rise, pointing grandly to the skies
Firm and tall, fully erect, we’ll show this country some respect
We’re the red, and white and also blue, we stand up tall, O yes we do
With our rockets’ bright red glare, we’re shooting off into the air
(we’re shooting…we’re shooting….)
(we’re shooting…we’re shooting….)
(we’re shooting…we’re shooting….)
(we’re shooting…we’re shooting….)
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
Firework cakes that makes us swell with pride
We just love them, yes we do
Different shapes and funny sizes, too
All ready to explode for you
(soft musical interlude)
Bursts of colors, bursts of light
Things pointing into the air tonight
Things exploding all around
(Some in the air, some on the ground….)
Thanks to bakers everywhere, patriotism is in the air
Firecrackers look like dongs, O so many, many wrongs
At least most are colored with red and white and there is some blue
Except for that sad lonely one that clearly looks like poo….
(we’re laughing…we’re laughing…)
(we’re laughing…we’re laughing…)
(we’re laughing…we’re laughing…)
(we’re laughing…we’re laughing…)
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
The Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth, the Fourth
Today is July the Fourth
(music to the end…..)
@ Jen: "Thank You! for servicing our country" is priceless, just priceless! Good grief, I love this site!
I was giggling at each one but then when I read servicing our country I lost it hahaha
Cake Wrecks, SuBee and Sharyn are my heros and I thank all of the veterans for working to give us freedom of speech, and those that still work so we may keep it, so that you funny people can keep on doing what you do! Although, I was unaware of the servicing program, so now my thanks looks kinda cheap, it's from the heart:) Happy Independance Day USA!
Yep, I heard the 1812 Overture as well. :)
The cookie cake (4th pic, appropriately), isn't just phallic-it's obscene! So...much...detail.
Thanks for these dandy doodles, Cakewrecks, and Happy 4th July, Amerika!
Happy In-dick-pendence Day!
That was awesome! Especially while humming the William Tell Overture in my head! No..wait...I had the 1812 Overture running through my head! Maybe I need to look at them again with the right music this time. ;) I really thought the three little ones that stood up by themselves were cute...if you're going to have a patriotic cake with phallic fireworks on it, they may as well be cute too!! Thanks for the Fourth of July snicker!! :)
That Lamebook one . . . what does it look like? PAIN.
Totally hummed the whole time.
Happy of July, everyone! =-)
Love it!! I have seen many a noobie do this lol. I just finished for the day. I made 49 dozen cupcakes before I could do orders by myself. It was intense.
The fourth one looks like it came out of a Christmas stocking pan.
I think those are intentional... no one could be that clueless!
I will never hear the William Tell Overture in quite the same way again. Thank you Mel! I hope that everyone had a wonderful Fourth!
The 6th one looks like the decoration is plastic. But if it is, that would mean DQ purchased hundreds of plastic penises with plastic globs shooting out of the tips and distributed them to their bakers to use as fireworks.DQ! What's next? Realistic delivery baby shower cakes from Carvel?
My head hurts.
P.S. Please tell the guy who received the last cake that he missed me.
Cake number four has its wang-like attributes, but at first glance I thought it was an exploding My Little Pony.
Congratulations to Sunshine, who finally retired from Center Street. After 35 years working on our country, she can finally lay down and rest. She has seen enough doodles to last her a lifetime. Sweety, that last cake is for you!
Yikes.
The other cakes are excusable as accidental phallii, but #5...my God, how can you make that and not realize what you're making it look like? It even has a frenulum! And is it, erm..."squirting".... out the wrong end? Has Lorena Bobbitt become a grocery store cake decorator now?
I seriously lol'ed at the title of today's post!
Sorry I'm late to the party, but the 5th cake seems to be "exploding" from the wrong end...
My inner 11-year-old became an outie reading this one. Good show.
