Behold the Behind!
According to Dave, this was for his son's birthday. According to this cake, Dave's son is something of an 'A' man, if ya knowuddamean. (And if not, don't ask.) Dave's readers seem to share my penchant for puns, too: the comments include cracks (oh! that one was unintentional!) about butt-cream frosting and speculation over whether the cake was Duncan Hiney, Betty Cracker, or perhaps purchased at Derriere Queen.Personally, I'm kind of curious about the librarian heels, Monica Lewinsky hair, and anatomically impossible angle of the right ankle. I mean, I know strippers are supposed to be flexible, but rotating a knee cap 180 degrees? That's gotta be a rare talent.
What say you, readers? Do we give the buns a bum rap, or is all well that ends well in the end?

Now that's classy!!
There really is no accounting for good taste!
I'm still wondering about the strange bulge in the left thigh...
I can't comment on the cake because all I can think about is Dave Barry has a blog?!!
But I think Drum said it best in Steel Magnolias, "There's nothin' like a good piece of ass"
Um... if he's an "A" man... I see no strap or other indicator that she's wearing anything to cover "B".
And yes, flexibility (of ankles or other areas) is a must in scantily clad, butt cake models!
If you're like me, with bad knees, you can do that with your feet. Of course, bad knees keep me from doing all those other stripper things, but cest la vie!
I'm wondering what a GOOD stripper cake would look like. Until I see that, I'll have to say that this ain't too bad.
I stand behind this cake 100%! If you ass me, some people will rear their ugly heads and butt in with their own crack comments. It bums me out to no end, as I am a big fanny of your site.
Oh, and think the cake is spank-tacular. Thanks for sharing.
I share the joy and laughter of Cake Wrecks with my kids, so: No, I don't like this post.
OH MY FREAKIN HECK!!!--It looks just like my mom!
ick. I hope he gave the crack to his worst enemy.
Am I the only one fairly impressed by the shading of the frosting to mimic shadows that would be created by the natural form of a body? I wonder if the decorator is one of those Hollywood special effects people. Hmm.
And I cringed when you said this was for Dave's son and then I realized that his son might actually be of age and not, oh, say... four.
I particularly like the oddly angled arm disappearing into the mass of crazy bouffant hair - unless she's a hunchback and severely deformed!
I think she needs to have the huge tumor on her right shoulder/back of her head looked at.
That really is a bizzare angle for the foot. There's no way it can do that. And yes, it's wrecktastic!
As is the norm for A-men, the face is so unimportant that it's reduced to dots for the eyes. Of course the bum is the focal point and you shouldn't be paying attention to her broken right ankle.
I am, I will admit, somewhat impressed that the sculptor attempted perspective, with her top half fading away into the distance.
I say, "ew". And, "scary"!
I personally love the swirls on the ....mirror? Oy.
Well, I am trying to get a leg up on this one, and I calf to say, she's a bit wonky.
Maybe the model for the cake was double-jointed? At any rate, if I had to have a piece (excuse me), I'd want it from the back or shoulder..or something.
No matter how hard I try, that just doesn't sound right!
~Amy B
Where did her knees go? It looks like her calves go almost all the way up her leg and then straight into her thigh... Yikes!
And I would hate to have been the model for this one... Would I be happy or sad about it? She's just not proportional...
Her calf and thigh are one, and she has no knees. If she's a stripper, it's to supplement her Medicaid.
That's for his son? How old is his son? Is this another "Happy 14th Birthday" repeat?
Naughty cakes make me a little nauseous since I witnessed my father-in-law being forced to lick the icing off a boob cake on his fiftieth birthday. Poor, gentle man...
I don't want to rump-le anyone's feathers, butt this could get a little hairy and asinine. It's just a great reminder to take life with a little tongue in cheek. I can't believe I just wrote that. Deb
Hahaha....I've been a little behind in reading and what do I come back to?? The Great Behind!! What a sight to see!!
oh my! I just hope his son is at least 18!!!!!
Next time I'm hankering for a piece of a** I'll know where to go. Fann-tastic!
C.C.
That girl's also got a rather painful wedgie there... ouch...
I thought it was Betty Boot!
I am hoping his son is old enough for a cake like this.
Maybe her ankle is broken???
Ew...is it just the angle, or does it look like Dora the Explorer on top, and J-Lo on the bottom? Regardless...it's wrecky.
Wow. I hadn't even noticed the right foot until you said something. That's just freaky!
All caboose jokes aside...did anyone notice that she has cankles? At least on her right ankle.
I think my biggest concern would be the green, foggy swirls eminating from this poor cake woman... what on earth did she have for lunch? And will it impact the taste of the cake??
LizC
As scarry as the hair is, the leg this is actualy quite easy. Any woman in my family can do it...then again, we're all kinda freeks...
For the record, as a librarian, I do wear sensible heels. But not usually with just a g-string... at least at work. HA! That cake is just... well, I'm not even sure which part I'd like to eat, if at all.
::snort::
You've 'cracked' me up again.
I'm assuming ( ha!! ASSuming.. very punny) that Dave's son is an adult?
Unlike a lot of cakes here, you can at least tell what its TRYING to be, and its still a lot better than creepy super realistic babies :/
I'd have to say let it slide.
Is there a cake decorating school you go to where you learn how to ice thongs? Truly amazing buttercream cheeks!
Oh dear. Not to mention that even the more "normal" leg is missing the femur! It goes directly from calf to booty. Awkward.
Of all the comments, the one most obvious to me would be asking if someone would "like a piece of a**."
Ohhh this one had me cackling like a fool! HAHAHAHA!
OMG! That is the best - the comments you shared in the post are hilarious! Betty Cracker, Duncan Hiney.....ROFLMAO.
So, if I forward you a pic of a cake wreck can I remain anonymous?
... HOW old is this son? O_O
i think my favorite (and possible most distrubing) part is that she is spewing yellow swirls pig pen style...
I just can't help thinking it looks like Holly Hobby: the stripper years...
Accoring to a 1999 Bio of Dave Barry, Rob had recently gotten his drivers license. It is safe to say that the son is at least 25.
Is it just me.. or does she look like a 70's stripper doing the "gettin jiggy with it" dance?
Woo, they mentioned your blog on Mark & Mercedes this morning in Vegas. The station is Mix 94.1 and the reason was Mercedes ordered a cake for a friend that did not turn out the way it was ordered. ;) I tried to call the blog in but was told several other people had already called it. So you are famous in Vegas.
I've tagged you as a favorite blog. If you haven't already been tagged a million times and you'd like to play along, here are the rules.

Thank you so much for the biggest laughs I've had a in a long time. You are a genius comic writer.
Don't know if you are already aware of this but you are featured on the Very Short List email newsletter today! I subscribe to this newsletter and I was thrilled to see how very cool they think your blog is. Here see for yourself:

Enjoy!
Relax folks! Checking Dave Barry's wikipedia entry shows that is son is 28 this year. This cake was not for a young child or teenager. No "Happy 14th Birthday" repeat here.
The whole right leg is disturbing. It's rubbery, as though she only exercised the left leg (which is nice and beefy) and left the right leg to atrophy.
This is a cake for an A-man indeed, so it doesn't matter that the face looks like Dora the Explorer. I guess.
Bottoms down on that one.
You actually noticed the ankles and knees? LOL!
For all of you worried about a traumatized kid, IIRC Robert Barry is about my age, which would put him at least in his late twenties/early thirties.
Tacky tacky!!!!
I'm laughing so hard I can hardly type!!!
My first thought was that this was for another child, but thankfully not! There really is no end to bad taste.
Thanks for the laugh!!!!!!
This really cracks me up!!!
My kids too are in love with cakewrecks and they thought this was hilarious. they could not believe any one would want a piece of butt cake on their plate... ooohhh gross!
The hair and the shoes indicate that someone from Jackie O's era decorated this.
I know this is being rather nit-picky, but as a dancer (ballet...not THAT kind...yeesh) I must say that you actually CAN get your feet turned out like that...it takes a lot of turning from the hip and really strong butt muscles, but it can be done...
And that cake is one of the tackiest things I've ever seen.
That's some sexy cake! She'd never be able to hold onto a stripper pole with that ankle!
Wrecktastic - but I'm sure Rob found the cake to be... bootylicious.
Dave's son Rob was born in 1980... so yeah, I'd say he's "of age"... :)
Well, at least the stripper's ON the cake instead of popping OUT of it!
I hafta say though, my "yea-or-nay" feelings on this particular confection depend on the age of said birthday boy. If he's around college age, then no problem; this is truly a crack-tacular culinary confection.
However, if he's younger than jr. high, that's just wrong (much like the Grand Theft Auto cake for 4-year-old "Lil Derrick").
With the big butt aqnd all the swirlies going on, I thought the "artist" was decorating a cake in the style of Austrian nouveau artist Gustav Klimt (see this example ).
Which brings to mind how incredibly well Klimt's work would adapt to a cake (like this one
and this one).
Unfortunately, this wreck isn't it. This is just hilarious. Two things: (1) THE SHOES!!!! and (2, and someone else mentioned this) the girl's disturbing resemblance to Dora the Explorer.
To Stephanie: Cool 411 Steph, (May I call you Steph?)
Hey Jen your famous now!Maybe even as famous as your hero Dave Barry?
So I guess there is no excuse not to make those calendars now, eh, Jen?
Anywho! That cake looks like a well- defined cookie to me. It's not thick enough. (Yes, even for a cake that feature the female posteria.) As for the rest....
There were legs bent crooked? Sorry didn't notice, must be behind the rest in seeing the legs. LOL
Peace,
Clueuin
Is that woman wearing a wig or her hair just teased to Tower of Babel-like heights? Hard to tell from the angle, butt I must say this cheeky image could have been worse than what was asspired to - it could have turned into a NSFW redo of those baby-butt cakes.
Wow, she's only got one calf! But it's a great looking left-calf. Too bad about her gimp broken right leg. :(
But what about the thong? it doesn't get into the crack, but it's as if it was... painted onto the skin, and she has nothing between the legs at all... kinky!
I can't help but wonder if maybe J.Lo, Jenny from the Block posed for this???
UGH! I wouldn't touch it!
Definitely a no.
Her hair and face reminds me of Cathy, from the Sunday newspaper comics. And I don't want to picture a comic character nude.
Haha.
:]
-acute_disaster
Having gone to school with Rob Barry (but I won't say when), I can safely say that he's in his late 20s, so the cake is completely aboveboard. As for his, um, predilections, I don't have any evidence for or against. He is, however, an uncommonly sweet and funny guy, and I like him a lot. Happy Birthday, Rob! I hope it's all it's cracked up to be...*snerk* :-P
I will forever think of this cake when I hear a man say "I'd like to slice me off a piece of that!"
I was always the kid who wanted the slice with the rose on it. What do I ask for here - the femur?
Wow---thanks for using my "find" on Dave Barry's website. But, you forgot to show the results of when they started cutting and eating it...
Needless to say, they went for her behind. Or, as my sister calls, it, boo-hiney.
I am so honored. I can't believe I was the first to send it to you. Wow.
Gotta love where they started cutting - I want a piece of a$$!!!! Bwahahaha!
Lol... you can tell it's been a long day for me. I looked at the Duncan Hiney part and thought "isn't is supposed to be Hines...?"
Then...
"Oh... haha, I get it now..."
And his son was how old? That must have been one clASSy party.
First day that I've visited your site. I love it! I've already passed the link on to several friends. Wonderful idea, so much fun!
Wow, her knees are mere inches below her hips. That, combined with the problems she's having with her right foot, must make it really hard to walk.
I can only imagine what it would look like... it brings to mind a Terry Pratchett quote: "It wasn't so much a walk as a collapse, indefinitely postponed."
That foot looks like a club foot... so that would explain the weird angle...
Hi,
I just voted for your excellent blog for the Bloggers Choice Awards.
Could you please return the favor at:

Thanks,

http://specialeducationlawblog.blogspot.com
Silly me---you did include the cutting of the, uh, "cake" by letting us click on the words "blog entry". Thanks, your wreckporter
Back that c@ke up!!
When I finally figured out whay an "A" man was I had to laugh. I am a little slow. Personally I am a face man. Got to have a pretty face. Don't initial that it doesn't work. But I digress. An appropriate song for this cake would be Queen, Fat-bottomed girls.
My husband would like this cake...
I think it's pretty funny and all in good humor!
This is like a Photoshop Disaster and Cake Wreck all rolled into one!
Say no to crack!!!! LOL
lol too funny
beautiful lady!
My main worry would be where to put the candle!
Now she's got herself some special calves and very little thigh! At least she can't be complaining they are fat...XD
This cake is assinine. <---extra s added. Webster can kiss mine
Wipe that cake off your face!!!
I have absolutely no idea who Dave Barry is but hey, I digress . . . I'm just hoping that they didn't get his son's girlfriend to model for this cake! Now *that* would have been embarrassing . . . .
THAT CAKE IS SO HOT
NOM NOM NOM NOM
It's not as bad as the "Macho Man" cake that looks like Operation.
It would appear that this is the ultimate "cupcake" cake!!!
I guess it was either that or moon pies.
I can't believe that sucker was over 4 feet long! (I mean the cake, gutter brains.)
I thought that I pretty much dug you based on the cakes and commentary, but the Dave Barry reference sealed the deal. I heart Dave.
Et tu, Dave? Sigh.
So... Dave Barry bought his son a cake with a nearly naked lady on it? And Dave Barry knows his son favors the caboose?
Anyone else think this is TMI for a father-son relationship?
Hello?
Saw this book at B&N last night:
http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Cakes-Debbie-Brown/dp/1847731805/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223670340&sr=8-2
Maybe that's where this cake came from?
I...don't understand the question. How could this not be a wreck? It's a woman intended to be dismembered in effigy. Not cool.
Sure, Dave has a blog. I've heard he has a couple of books out, too.
you're hilarious! I LOVE DAVE BARRY. and butt cakes. well this is the first one i've seen, but so far so good.
It's a total wreck, from the giant-calf-as-leg to the gimpy club foot to the dislocated arm!
FROSTED BUTTS
I have to say that I am usually behind (that was not an intentional pun) you 100% in your opinion of these wrecks. but in this case, I would probably be fine with paying for this from a decorator if it was for my hubby. He would definitly think this was a masterpiece.
I wouldn't say that this was the worlds greatest example of art or even the best representation of the female body, but to an "A" man this cake is heavenly!
They even put it on a mirror for that extra stripper bar touch.
As far as cakes go, I kind of like it! Slicing it could get a bit creepy, and the artist has some perspective issues and whatnot, but as a concept I like it.
I love your blog! Thank you, thank you. I had tears streaming down my cheeks, I was laughing so hard, and my husband was worried I'd forget to breathe....
