Happy Thanksgiving/Ridiculous Turkey Cake Day!
It's Thanksgiving!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE INTERNET?!
Just kidding. I know we're all on our phones, Facebooking about our racist relatives and how many times the smoke alarm's gone off.
Or maybe you don't even live in the U.S., and you're just here for our ridiculous American turkey cakes. [winkwink] [finger guns] AW YEAH.
Well, it just so happens...
SHA-POW!
SHA-POOP!
With an extra side of:
DEMON LLAMA TURKEY!
Pamela thought this display looked familiar. Let's see if you agree:

And for that quintessentially American Thanksgiving experience:
Decapitated Scarecrow Clown!
Now get back out there and gooble, my friends.
Gooble 'til ya wooble.

After a few glasses of pinot noir these cakes will start to look amazing! *swig* gooble gooble indeed! (Fire alarm? What fire alarm?...!)
Frankly, I can't think of anything more inedible that those tasteless slabs of solidified flour called "cookie-cakes" Gaaag. My advice; save $5.39! Don't buy those horrid things.
Re; 3 From what is that "grass" made ? It almost looks as if someone dumped a Japanese seaweed salad from the sushi bar all around that cake.
Re; #6 Ah-ha! It's a Mongolian Yurt that has become infested with killer worms. Look! It even has warning signs on it in the form of two X's and a couple of smears of blood.
And, yes, we who live in Canada already had our Thanksgiving over a month ago. The weather was wonderful, and we did "gooble" quite sufficiently, thank you.
The 1st turkey looks lk he's parachuting. Have his wings don't work.
I don't know what is it, but the "gooble" cakes get me every time!
Did you know today is also National Cake Day (in the US)? How convenient. But do partake of ones more appealing than these.
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all, & for our international friends, Happy Thursday!
I can't believe you didn't see image #6 for what it is: Dead Mr. Bill.
Demon llama turkey. Does it get any better than that?
Am very thankful for the laughs and friends here. Happy Thanksgiving, Jen and John!
'how many times the smoke alarm's gone off.'
For the first time, we've actually had the smoke alarm go off while Mom is cooking. Eep.
So I needed the laugh. Thanks.
That is obviously an Oatmeal cookie.
I dunno, the demon llama turkey cake has a certain je ne sais quoi...
Ok, that first one is not a turkey. It's the Paratrooper version of Harry Potter's Chocolate Frog.
That's not a scarecrow. That's clearly the thatched-roof cottage after an encounter with Trogdor.
Happy Thanksgiving! (No Thanksgiving here, but retailers seem to have adopted Black Friday this year - argh!)
Degera, the first cake is a Naked Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle that has just (to put it bluntly) farted, and the gas has ignited. What else could it be?
Gooble gooble day
I would like to name the first cake "Parachuting Poo-Man". (I'm a great fan of alliteration--Gack! I can't believe that it's been so long since I've used the word "alliteration" that I had to look it up, so I guess I'm not a very great fan after all :-(. )
I got some dirty stares from the grocery store folks last night--I was hoping to catch a truly "special" Thanksgiving Day cake. It turns out that they seem to be able to make a turkey that actually looks like a turkey using buttercream. Imagine my disappointment...LOL.
I hope everybody is having a great Thanksgiving!
Yesterday we gobled, today we goobled. One of these days we'll get it right. But don't hold your breath.
Lol well I say the decapitated scarecrow clown deserved it. Evil thing. Lol these cakes are hilarious. So glad I ate hours ago.
@Mary Kay: I think the bakers are on to us. They know any mistakes they make will wind up here, so they're either perfecting their cake-decorating* skills or else hiding the truly awful ones in the back where camera phones cannot go.
*A local supermarket is advertising for a "cake decorater." I sense many wrecks to come!
The demon llama turkey had going for it that it was neither a cookie cake nor a cupcake cake and the effect used to indicate the varigated tailfeathers was quite skillfully done.
DEMON LLAMA!!! LOL.
I am deep in the archives of cake wrecks at 3 am. My comment will likely never be seen, but I have two points that feel incredibly important. First, is #4 potentially a leftover of a leftover? Pretty sure that was a Halloween ghost cake first. Second, #5 skeeved me out more than any cake you’ve ever posted and it’s truly why I had to comment. It looks like it’s covered in house centipedes (I call them parallax because they are truly the embodiment of fear). How am I supposed to sleep now?!
