Oh, Mama!

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Who's ready for some life-sized, potentially-nightmare-inducing, definitely traumatizing, yet fortuitously-censored CAKE? Hmm?

Settle down, now, all of you; there's enough here for everyone:

(Heh, you guys thought the FIRST censored Cake Wreck was bad...)

What's that? What do you mean, you all only want a piece of the little birthday cake? You can't ALL have that: who's going to eat the legs? The belly? The.. er...tracts of land? C'mon, you'll love it: mama's made of red velvet!*

:)

Here's an even "better" angle:


John would like me to point out that this cake has teeth. And there are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't even know where to begin.

Here's some good news, though: this wasn't for a baby shower! Yay! Nope, it was served at a birthing center event. As to why the "mom" has a cake in the tub with her, though - and in that particular spot - well, you got me. I'm just glad they didn't make it into an edible baby.
Also, I've heard of cakes sweating before, but this brings it to a while 'nother level. A really shiny, gross level.

I actually had this submitted twice, by both Gina & Jeanette E. Hey girls, I'm dying to know: did "mama" have any hair? I can't quite tell from the photos. (I mean on her HEAD, you sick people, you.)


* Ok, you got me: I don't actually know what kind of cake this was.

UPDATE: I too thought that they just left the "s" off "surprise" at first, but then it would have been "urprise", not "uprise". Unless they spelled it wrong, and THEN left the "s" off - hah, double wreck! Or, I suppose it could be the name of the center.

Ew. I would not want to eat any part of that cake. Especially that water. *shudder*

Cottagecheap said...

Okay I was in a 'snack frame of mind' about two minutes ago....now I am all better! Hmmm...the cakewrecks diet?

Anonymous said...

The only safe piece to eat is the mini cake, although is that cardboard underneath? And was that towel a real one or made out of frosting or fondue or something?

Tammy said...

That is wrong -on so many levels ewwwww. Tammy

Laura said...

That is just wrong on so many levels. Where has the rest of her head gone? Creepy.

MetalNoir said...

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Anonymous said...

Is it just me, or does "mama" have the jaw line of a man? Either way, I would like to express my most heartfelt *shudder*...

Hippie Mama Kelly said...

Oh my is that gross!! I think I would be really freaked out to walk in somewhere and see that sitting there.

Boozy Tooth said...

I want desperately to say awful things about this cake because it is so deserving, but in truth... it made me bust out laughing. What a work of art! Too bad you didn't post it for Halloween since it looks like a fairly severly decayed pregnant mummy giving birth - OR - how about a Halloween/Thanksgiving combo cake: mummy giving birth in a turkey roasting pan? Classy.

Your site is hilarious and a superb start to my day. Thanks Jen.

was it UPRISE or SUPRISE?

Um... I wouldn't eat it, thats for sure

Pink Sith said...

I'm going to have nightmares from this post! However, had the hospital allowed me to have cake while I was in labor I might have enjoyed the whole experience more!

Erica said...

UPRISE???? Say what?

Anonymous said...

It also looks enormous (see the chairs and the people in the background?). Apart from that, I think this shows a great sense of humour on the part of the birthing centre people.

Hi Kooky said...

Wha? Yet another cake viewing that has rendered me speechless. But that's what I come here for! Thanks!

Anonymous said...

This is....gag inducing at best. She looks sweaty and miserable and...hmm. Is that wash cloth draped over her eyes edible? *gnaw gnaw gnaw*
This reminds me less of a birthing cake and more of a torture cake. Then again the two seem to be fairly synonymous.

Rebecca said...

Too bad we can't get an action shot on one of these with everyone standing around with forks in their hands and crumbs on their faces and pieces missing from the victim, I mean cake.

heather said...

But what's with "UPRISE"? Is the sex a surprise? Is the cake a surprise (I bet it was)! I've given birth in a bathtub, and I can say with 100% certainty that I wouldn't eat anything out of that sucker!

Trevor said...

OMGWTFBBQ?! And I thought the Oliva cake was bad (okay, I still do... and in thinking about it, I think she's still worse)! Still, I do want to know what "Uprise" is. Maybe that's something I'm better off not knowing? And maybe they're really a cake birthing center?!

Anonymous said...

Eww? Not only teeth, it has half a skull! It looks like she was half decapitated by helicopter blades (day of the dead anyone?)

And...Urprise?

rbtzn said...

i have no words....

RooManda said...

I'm a big fan of the 'water' on the cake plate, along with the broken up "Happy Birth" on top, and "Day" on the side of the cake. Someone never learned how to make small letters. And is that stuble under the left knee? Or is it just mooshed up cake? Yummmmy.

joyce said...

And then they called in the future pathologists to do a dissection?

Yuck.

"Uprise"?

Anonymous said...

I've laughed at your blog for a while, but I'm coming out of lurking for this. This cake is the first one that I think has the potential to haunt me so much that I'll never want to eat cake again. But, I'm really coming out of the "lurk zone" because I'm hoping somebody has an explanation for the "uprise" sign on the side of the tub. What is that about?....or do I want to know?

Kate said...

Can someone explain the "uprise" sign on the front? I guess I am just slow but I dont get it. Oh and Ewwwwww.

Anonymous said...

Must be one of those birthing centers that uses the hot tubs. Still not a great cake concept. Maybe if they'd made it more cartoony...

Jennifer said...

OMGosh! It's a corpse cake! The skin, the *teeth*, eek! It's disturbing in so many ways...

writtenwyrdd said...

I'm glad to know the, erm, stylistic choice was dictated by the fact that it was a birthing center. And the teeth ARE rather creepy. Also is the shiny buttercreamery frosting that both makes the poor gal look both wet and sweaty.

Interesting is the only word I can come up with.... I don't think I could eat this cake.

It's obviously a cake for the Pregnant Secessionists Club, hence the "Uprise" sign.

Leah Brianne said...

How disturbing! Also, is it just me or does this cake look like a MAN?!? I mean, look at the size of "her" neck! And that jawline...It's like Arnold in "Junior" all over again... eew.

Julie Jacob said...

Hair? It doesn't even look as though she has the upper third of her SKULL!

*shiver*

Unknown said...

I think that the birthday cake is hiding a special surprise. I do believe she's giving birth, or am I the only one to see a head and ear?

Erin Emigh Stanford said...

That is absolutely insane! I just can't believe how far they went with that one!

BTW, LOVE your blog! It's definitely my favorite on my list!

Ugh. With this Skeletor face I think you should have posted it for Halloween.

Oh my, that is nearly traumatizing.

And the pregnant cake has major man neck to boot. If I ever look that freaky when I'm pregnant I hope someone will put me out of my misery by slicing me up into tiny pieces and serving me on dessert plates.

April said...

Yikes

Ice Cream said...

P.S. Are those remnants of a weak bubble bath or is it just body scrudge floating on the surface of the water?

Unknown said...

I know you had to be saving this one for the day after the election--I thought nothing could possibly pull get me thinking past the election results :( ...I should have known CakeWrecks could! :)

Now I can't get past this cakewreck-- but at least I can laugh at that! :)

I have to add...OH...MY. I don't...know...what to say.

Anonymous said...

I'm wondering why they even bothered to put a "cloth" over the woman's face, let alone why the secondary cake is in that rather... strategic spot.

And speaking of that second cake, there are some serious spacing issues going on there: "Happy Birth" are written on top, and "Day" is on the side. Pick a surface and stick to it, for crying out loud!

As a nice final Wrecktastic touch, I also love the lack of the "S" on the "uprise" banner. Just awesome.

Where's the back of her head?! It's like a horror movie prop.

Jessa Kennedy said...

Oh. My. *covers eyes*

That cake may very well give me nightmares.

uprise? at first i thought it was a tragic misspelling of SURPRISE, like for a surprise baby shower? but oh no. maybe the birthing center is called Uprise? which is a WEIRD name for a birthing center...it's a quandary.

sues2u2 said...

That is just WRONG!

Word Ninja said...

Wow. While I'm probably not as surprised as I once would have been by this mom-strosity, having been a faithful cake follower from the beginning, I'm confused about the "UPRISE" sign...maybe I'm being obtuse, but could somebody help me out here?

how do you decide which piece to eat? who wants the belly button? the boob? left or right?

OK, I saw this and my first thought (also uttered out loud) was Ewwww!

I would also like to know the significance of it saying "UPRISE" on the tub. Seriously are we supposed to attack the poor woman giving birth to a cake...it it some kind of crazy mutation. I mean really...who thought this was a good idea?

Even if you were brave enough to have a piece o' mama - how thick/tall are the slices from the belly? I mean, even if it wasn't gross (sweaty icing? eew), they'd just be huge. No. No thank you.

Vonniej said...

Did somebody already start nomming on the head, or is there any other reason in particular half of her head is missing?

M K Glass said...

Cake Wreck? More like a cake DISASTER! That is definitely one of the most disturbing cakes you have brought to us yet.

Just a slight step up from using too much brown frosting, or a spelling mistake, huh?

Do you think there are any professional cake decorators out there who say "um, I'm sorry, but no, I don't think I can make that cake."?

Wow.

Sarah said...

That is totally disturbing! Can just mention what the heck is up with the sign? Is it supossed to say 'surprise'?

Jen said...

I'm not sure what's more disturbing - that someone requested a cake that looks like a pregnant woman in a tub (and lifesize at that!) or that someone would agree to making it...

knittinglane said...

What I want to know is - did they mean to leave the S off? I mean, the cake IS enough to cause an uprise...

Carrie said...

This is so incredibly desturbing I don't even know where to begin...however I do think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth if that gives you any idea!!!

This is beyond disgusting! So wrong on so many levels. And what is the "UPRISE" all about?

I am absolutely speechless. This wreck has crossed a line.

My colleague who sits next to me has just left the room after glimpsing my screen. I don't know whether he's going to be sick, or if he's going to report me for looking at these kind of horrible images on work time.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Oh man, a baby cake on that little plate would have been hilarious!! What would be even better, though, would be an edible baby under the water, being born. Lots of red food coloring in the bathwater...

Yeah... I've got a sick, sick mind.

Oh wow - Mama's legs look like they have varicose veins (the icing is strange)... double ewwwww

amyd said...

So disturbing.

Cloves said...

That cake is HUGE! And a little terrifying

JordanBaker said...

"Uprise?" I assumed at first it was a spelling error. . .or is it inciting us to riot?

Mini Me said...

Wow.. that is disgusting!

Remembering how nauseous I was when pregnant, that certainly would have frightened the heck out of me for giving birth, and I probably would have puked!

Loth said...

Not only does that cake have teeth, it appears to be a man. A naked, pregnant man in a bath. *shudder*

looking at that makes me feel sick. I was eating my yogurt and had to stop. Yack!

Miss M. Possible said...

The face looks like a mummy! I was looking at King Tut and other mummies faces yesterday in an article and this cake is eerily similar.

It really isn't life like at all... I don't think it was a good idea! Icky!

I'm all for home birth but this is ridiculous. Seriously. Who says "HEY! Lets make a cake of a woman giving birth! OH! And lets add teeth and a towel over her eyes to make it look more realistic."

Okay, when Jen wondered if "mama" had hair, I don't think she was referring to her head. EWWWW!

And I haven't looked at the full-size pic (and I don't think I want to) but I wondered if the baby had been delivered, and is balancing that mini-cake on it's head? That's kinda what it looks like is happening... gross!

Every thought that came to mind has already been posted in, and in under 2 hours Eastern Time!!! moderated at that. Do we all sit here and wait for another Cake Wreck?

This is one serious case of Cake Wreckosity.

I do believe I've found the answer to the mystery:

http://www.columbiahl.com/calendar.php

About a third of the way down the page under October 17th:

"Columbia Community Birth Center's First Annual Cake and Champagne Gala.

Perlow-Stevens Gallery, [address], 7 pm.
Seven local bakeries, including The Upper Crust and Uprise Bakery, will be competing for the best "Birth-Day" cake. Come eat cake, drink champagne, and enjoy music by the Bel Airs while supporting Missouri's only freestanding birth center. Tickets are $30. Purchase at participating bakeries or call [phone number]."

So, being from Kansas and naturally pre-biased against Missouri, I am now somehow not surprised by this.

Anonymous said...

Don't you just want to be a fly on the wall when this cake was delivered? Do you think the people in charge at the birthing center stood around and said, "Yup - that's a fine looking cake. Good idea everyone! That's just what we wanted."???

Anonymous said...

I searched Uprise on line, and found Uprise Bakery. Are they advertising that they created this????

Geans said...

That might be the worst (best?) one yet. That's just terrifying.

Anonymous said...

Ok, I get that some people want to embrace the great miracle of birth & all, but seriously? Naked pregnant lady cakes? Gross.

I also question who thought that after a long day of helping women give birth, the birthing center employees would want to gather round and eat an enormous cake that looks like one their clients in labor. A sweaty manly client, at that.

Finally, what is the point of that silly little cake in the tub? I don't think it was put there to censor the woman, since its set away from her body and those "special parts" are underwater anyway. Furthermore, the baker didn't feel the need to censor the rest of her...

it's possible that UPRISE is an acronym for Uterine Prolapse Research Information Support and Education.

One final comment... Has anyone noticed how sad the suggestion of the bathtub drawing is? Kind of like, this really isn't a cake woman in three inches of sludgy cake water - noooo - it's an elegant ball and claw footed tub! See? See the drawing? Too funny.

Jen said...

@ anon from 12:11pm -

I actually cracked up at being called an old fart, so thanks for the chuckles. ;)

And I'm guessing you meant "censor", not "sensor". Anyway, I did it because a LOT of people look at this at work, and I try to keep the site around a PG rating. I also didn't want to be responsible for a lot of vomit-drenched keyboards out there.

Inspector Voyeur, these pics were sent as attachments, so I'm afraid I don't have a link to share. Maybe one of the girls who submitted it does, though?

So when they cut into the cake will a cake baby be on the inside?.. ok.. too disturbing.

I think this is the worst cake you've posted thus far. I shuddered when I saw it. So gross on so many levels.

I didn't know that Resusie Annie was pregnant!
We practice on her at the hospital for CPR technique.

gross, just gross. I mean seriously, these bakers need to stop hitting the bong before designing their cakes.

So, apparently this is for a Gala of some type. (Here is the link with a small amount of information: http://www.columbiahl.com/calendar.php)

It was a competition and UPRISE is the name of the bakery that made that cake. It is a competition to see who can make the best 'birth' day cake. Get it? Yeah, still really odd.

Well, Jen, congratulations.

You finally did it.

I could have eaten around Olivia's childbirth experience. I could have closed my eyes and dived into any one of the CCC wrecks. (I'm not proud, okay?) I pictured me attacking the Bridezilla cake with a fork and serious ferocity. I thought I could eat them all.

Well, no more.

I can honestly say that me and my size 14 butt don't want to go near a cake right now. That's a first.

This hermamphrodidic (sp?) disaster is honestly beyond words. Heck, the lunch I just ate is threatening an uprise! The slimy bathwater, the mini cake placed in the "perfect" spot, the missing cranium, the leg stubble, it's just SO wrong.

Wow.

Just wow.

Oh, and by the way, I am grateful for the censoring that was done. Truly grateful.

That is the most manly looking Mama I have ever seen. There are just so many things wrong with that! And, Why on earth would someone want to eat a cake that is between Mama's legs.
I thought I had seen it all. Wrong!

Oh, oh, oh...
I found the uprise answer. It it the name of the bakery.
They called it the "best" birth day cake.

Here is what I found

Columbia Community Birth Center's First Annual Cake and Champagne Gala.

Perlow-Stevens Gallery, 812 East Broadway, 7 pm.
Seven local bakeries, including The Upper Crust and Uprise Bakery, will be competing for the best "Birth-Day" cake. Come eat cake, drink champagne, and enjoy music by the Bel Airs while supporting Missouri's only freestanding birth center. Tickets are $30. Purchase at participating bakeries.

I just can't stop looking at it. Its a man, in a birthing tub? Its got teeth. Its.... um, wow.

Hyena Overlord said...

Does this look like the bathtub scene from the Shining to anyone?

*shudders* This is all so very wrong and ack inducing.

Annie said...

I am only hoping that today isn't anyone's first visit to cake wrecks. This one is so very creepy that they might never dare come back.

Katie said...

Definitely some execution problems there, but nonetheless, the concept is AWESOME. I bet the midwives and nurses laughed their butts off. These are people who need a strong stomach for the sheer grossness of the human body, and who (in my limited experience)usually have a wicked sense of humor about it. I dig it.

I thought that was some monsterous beer gut guy in a bathtub before I read the story.

So wrong on so many levels....

horrified. simply horrified.

Kathy McC said...

That is the most mental thing I have ever seen. It looks like someone who drowned in the tub...

So scary.

Knitty said...

UPRISE is obviously an acronym for

Ultra
Pregnant
Rita (or with that jawline, Roger?) Is
Seriously
Exhausted

Now don't you all feel bad about making fun of her? She should just have a little cake and she'd feel so much better.

oh, lord. the face looks skeletal and frankly, um, deceased.

Truly atrocious.

ok. i actually liked the cake that appeared to have baby shooting up out of the mama via c-section but this cake is vile. if i was to show up at this event, i wouldn't have given this birthing center my business just for the sheer principle that they are gross. she had teeth but no top of the head? that's right.... she has done LOST HER MIND!!!

Anonymous said...

Why has no one noted that this is not only a naked birthing woman with tweeh cake in a tub cake wreck...but a LIFE SIZED naked birthing woman with teeth in a tub cake?

look at the chairs and the people behind the table....

a woman i talked to had guests and made bread @ her homebirth - slacker. a cake would have been so much more of a crowd pleaser. i mean, if you're already @ a homebirth, you might as well eat some cake. maybe the sugar takes the edge off (hence the cake in the tub)...i guess @ that point, you wouldn't care if there was a rump roast in the tub with you - you just want the baby OUT.
