With your little mousy face shalt thou eat cheese, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. Rest in Peace, Minnie.
Hilarious! Thanks Sharyn!
"Harpy Birthday???" LOL -- my new favorite
One of my favorites on the old Abba 8 tracks. Thanks for the memories!
That last one intrigues me, it's the first time I've seen cake with menaces
Do Da Boyz hand it over before breaking your legs or just politely leave it on the doorstep? Do they add the cost of cake to what you owe, or is it thrown in? Are you allowed to eat it, or is it pushed into your face? Is it real cake or an iced brick that comes through your window? Or is it some new directive issued by the banks to sweeten the deal on your overdraft? These are questions I need to have answered!
30+ years ago when I worked in a grocery store bakery, none of us was a cake decorator. We'd write whatever thte customer wanted on a pre-made sheet cake. If we made a mistake, we popped it into the walk-in freezer for 20 minutes until the frosting froze. Then we would lift the mistake off and re-pipe it. How hard is that?
This one made me grin from ear-to-ear. :D <- (See?)
One of my "goals" in life is to record all of the Cake Wreck parodies...posts and/or comments, and upload them to YouTube.
That bow tie is NOT cool.
A cake wreck update with ABBA...The Winner Takes it All!!!!
These cakes need to send out an SOS. But the bakers that keep Taking a Chance are really Super Troupers. After all, they have to make Money Money Money if they want to take a chance for a nice vacation, maybe to visit the Waterloo battle site, along with their Mamma Mias.
But, Knowing You, Knowing Me, this is the best they can be. The wreckers may Voulez Vous making great cakes, but perhaps they should change their profession...maybe they'd make good Dancing Queens.
And, Thank You For the Music! Brought back some memories!!
No just... NO!
Yay Fernando!
Okay, I'm very tired today, which must bring out the perv in me, because cake #3 looks like 3 penises in a row to me.
Interesting angle on that first shot...unless the cake had been displayed on the wall.
#2>Huh.11 bloballoons,13/14 years old, and $16.99 for a 1/4 sheet cake. I smell a math equation in there, somewhere...and I am so glad that I'm not in school anymore.
#3> let's just call it a "work glove", because the banana split.
#4> That cake's been sitting there for three years, nameless. Open the darn diploma and see who's it is, already!!
#5>Too bad about the sand storm on little Gabby's big day.
#6>That's a cake that only a mother could love. Not necessarily PAY for, though...These ARE supposedly "professional", right? (I have to keep reminding myself.)
#7>Wait-don't tell me! I've got it: If the birthday person doesn't pay up, the NEXT cake will be made of wet cement? =^~.-^=

That last cake must be from the IRS.
@Caroline B:
I don't know, I kinda think most of the cakes we see on here are menacing. What about the baby baby shower cakes that make you vomit to look at them? Buzz Lightyear going to insanity and beyond? The chocolate-covered insects/pig heads? The various dinosaurs/Godzillas who look like THEY want to have the birthday child for a party? Misshapen and grotesque animated characters? The REALLY dirty cakes on display? The zombie and Halloween cakes? The memorable-in-a-bad-way wedding cake with two dead stuffed squirrels on it? (I could go on...)
Now, most of them don't SAY "Warning: Dystentery Ahead", I'll grant you.
On that last one you can still see where they tried to clean up the blood stain. Evidently the first guy didn't pay up.
I did not realize that Minnie Mouse was a bearded lady.
mel - One of the best one-hit wonders of all time. Thanks for that smile!
Cake: Makes everything (including debt repayment) better!
@SaraCVT You just had to remind me didn't you - I'd tried to block them from my memory, nearly done it but now all I can see are the monkeys, the meat Justin Bieber, the Easter sheep....ARGH.....
Yay, Mel! And it's even better when you hear the thunder in the background.
I swear that was Cousin It's baby (What) with a ribbon on it's head.
@Jodi ~ You're not the only one! O.O
@mel ~ Glad to see you're well rested again! Nicely done, my friend.
@Fernando ~ Suddenly I have the urge to pull out the copy of Mamma Mia. Ehh... could be worse!
@Sharyn ~ I just love when you write posts. It reminds me of The Hitchhikers Guide post and how much I needed to laugh that day.
@Caroline B. and @SaraCVT ~ That was really mean, ladies. Now all I can think of is the meat baby!
@Caroline B:
AAAUUGGH! You're even! I had totally forgotten the meat Justin Bieber and now it's all I can see...
Oh, yeah? I see you and raise you one cake with a plushie embedded in the frosting!
@SaraCVT I'll see your fluffy plushie frosting and raise you one blood-dripping, pubic hair embellished birth cake - top that! (Yerk, made myself gag there!)
Now as I'm British, I have throw my cards in and go to bed or I'll be fit for nothing tomorrow. If I dream of giant fondant monkeys coming to get me, I'm holding you entirely responsible!
Omg. I can't believe you keep finding this stuff. The worst part is that these fluff brained wreckerators keep doing it without shame. The butchered minnie bow... oh my.... just wow
How is Minnie Mouse worse than Minnie Mouse buried in cement???
Caroline B:
This is getting entirely too competitive! (As well as disgusting...) But I can't back down now...so I see your birth cake and raise you one infected foot cake minus two toes! HURK! That's the best (worst?) I've got.
Good thing I already ate dinner. Or maybe not...I need to go lie down.
To have and to hold,
forsaking all others, cause
I paved them over.
@sue: you are welcome! It is a great song, isn't it….thanks for commenting!
@zeldabird: thank you, and, coincidentally, it was raining when I wrote this today (but neither men nor cakes…though for a while it rained cats and dogs…when I went outside to get the paper, I stepped in a poodle….)
@Jodee: thanks...it’s been rather cool here, so that helps…like an autumn preview – sweatshirt and woolen blanket season –yes!
The employee responsible for the sharpie/Hello Kitty cake was probably fired for giving future customers an idea: don't bother buying wrecks, just buy the pre-decorated cakes and write the message on the plastic container yourself! Brilliant. I'd seriously write on one myself before buying any of the hand-me-down cakes in this post.
Harry Birthday?
I treasure my ignorance of this song as well. I'll just assume it's from a Disney movie and count myself lucky.
@SaraCVT I fold, you win! So glad I didn't read that before I went to bed! Well played, well played; you take the prize, which is the toe section of that cake with a nice cup of tea.
Harry birthday?
