It's like a mixed media collage of cakedom! Seriously, this cake has it all: fun-house-mirror photos, airbrushing, fondant "hair" (don't miss the guy's!), a buttercream border, and sufficient excuse to call the show hosts "fat heads" for at least a week or so. (Oh, did I mention those are the hosts?)
Of course, it could also be used as the poster-cake for the call to ban edible image printing. Really, who thought technology that allows you to eat people's photos was a good idea? It always ends up looking rather creepy.
Or, in this case, gross:
Mmmm, now there's an appetizing composition. I bet all of Karissa's relatives were SO proud. And full. As in, "no-really-I-couldn't-eat-another-bite" full.

I saw the cake a went "eew" out loud.
I love his hair.
I'm glad I already ate breakfast. I thought the top cake was disturbing but the one where the chick is on the toilet. Gaaaa!!
Seriously, why would someone think that would be a good idea?
Not to mention that the photo looks like she actually IS trying to sh--!
(And not having an easy time if it.
Those are beyond terrible! I'm not sure I would bring them to a TV station...that may be tragic for my business.

WV: quiys....sometimes I'll answer but I'll never understand the quiys...
You don't even have to have a piece of this cake to know it has NO TASTE!!!! Reminds me of a phrase one of my high school teachers used, "Diahrrea of words and a constipation of thought." If you find yourself putting profanity AND a picture of someone on a toilet on a cake, just put the pastry bag down verrrry slowly and step away from the icing bowl.
I hope that second cake wasn't chocolate.
Oh my! That second cake...who could have possibly thought that was a good idea? At least I can hope the cake wasn't chocolate.
I think the graduation cake is hilarious, actually. My mother totally would have had a cake like that made.
This is the woman who, for my 18th birthday, printed all the embarassing photos from my childhood and put them on the wall.
XD
further proof that edible photo + cake = disaster.
So, the first one is so the fault of the bakery... Although I really love the little tie. The second? That's just bad taste.
Ohhhhhh my my my. Where to start?
First off, who has such a twisted sense of humor that they would take a picture of someone ... how shall I say it.. on the potty. And then- say "Hmmm this would make a great cake!"
No..she wont be scared for life at all!
Karissa kind of looks like she's about to vomit.

Its not the fatheads that bother me, it's the mere idea that someone would put a pic of someone on the toilet, on a CAKE!!
That's wrong on so many levels.
~Amy B.
Well, you've done it again. I am horribly frightened and scarred for life due to you blog.
Congartluatins. or whatever.
...although, it does kinda give new meaning to "grabbin' a piece of a**"
(wonder how many times you'll hear THAT one today?!)
WHO in the world would put a picture like that on a cake? Especially a graduation cake! I would be so upset at my family if they ever did that.
The top cake looks like one of those clown dolls that you can knock down but it comes right back up...with a creepy smile.
Your blog is turning out to be very good for my diet - another morning of not wanting to eat. . .
It's hideous, yet I can't look away... OMG... I... I don't know what else to say
Oh my! Wow! Um, what?!?!? I'm at a complete loss!
Holy $#!t! What were they thinking????!!!!
What were they thinking??
the first cake looks like someone photoshopped some faces onto her falsies. and the second? i don't like to think about excrement while i'm eating. gah.
hah! I actually like the second cake. She's obviously laughing hysterically about someone taking her photo on the toilet.
I would kill someone for doing that to me but I have a feeling this girl got a good laugh out of it.
I realize that the woman's hair on the first cake takes up some area, but they should have adjusted the guy's flesh colored mound so that he doesn't have a halo of nothingness around his head. Also, it's even more wrecky because the edible photos wrinkled as the baker smoothed them over the mounds.
I like the Karissa cake, I think it's funny!
the second cake is hilarious! LOL
ok, so the first scared me but the second I thought was so horrible that it was funny! I would order a cake like that - you've got to have a sick sense of humor.
"the first cake looks like someone photoshopped some faces onto her falsies."
HILARIOUS - had to go back for a 2nd look!
I just snorted over "I hope the cake isn't chocolate"!
On the newscasters....the intention was good...i think...I mean the little suit jacket and tie and the woman's blouse...and the hair...that part is cute...it's when they add the blown up faces that suddenly the cake zooms out of control...
the second one was out of control as soon as they took that picture...although if you take the rest of the cake...the penmanship on the words, the piping of everything...all that looks good...so this one was not the fault of the baker, but the tastelessness of the customer. "I hope the cake isn't chocolate"! Still chuckling over that one!!!!!!
CW2 is just disgusting! I hope Karissa is no longer speaking to the twisted individual who presented this to her.
Yeah I certainly want a cake with a picture of a girl on the toilet and a white tube-like structure sitting on top of it--did she graduate or is that "time of the month"? Sheesh.
Thanks for ruining me perfectly good late lunch
What possesses people to take pictures of their friends on the toilet?
That's a boob cake from a novelty bakery. That's funny, and I'm still trying to figure out if it's intentional.
That news anchor cake is GENIUS!
THAT'S JUST WRONG...ON SO MANY LEVELS....
I guess my daughter better watch our or she might end up like Karissa...you know, all the "great" ideas I get from this wonderful blog!!!!! ;-)
Would that second cake be more disgusting if it were yellow cake or chocolate?
Eeeew--red velvet?
I wonder who ate Karissa's, er, piece.
The graduation cake...that is soooo wrong on so many different levels!
Note to self: Never have your photo taken on the biffy, not even as a joke, 'cause you never know when it's going to end up on a cake on somebody's hilarious blog, and be seen round the world...
I'm praying that's a diploma on the second one and not a feminine hygiene product. CanNOT imagine it any situation where you would think it was ok to put that image on a cake. Hope mama remembers who's gonna pick the nursing home!
This is the first I have heard of edible photos. And I wish I could still remain in ignorance. Some things are better left unknown.
The word verification for this comment was "hyaws" which describes my reaction to the cakes quite well.

Let's just hope and pray that the last cake wasn't chocolate!!!
We now know why Karissa needs therapy...it was Suzy's day yesterday...not its poor Karissa's turn.
WV: Stringi: maybe this refers to the hair or perhaps this would have been really creepy if it appeared on the body part day.
Oh god. I assumed that the girl was just sitting on the toilet. But a second look revealed that the lid is up and her pants are down.
o.O
EW!!!
l love the second cake. i think it shows that family has a great sense of humour. very funny!
I have always wanted to eat a cake of a girl going to the bathroom. Yummy. Just so long as it doesn't have that bathroomy taste, that'd be awkward.
I like the tie.
I'm waiting for the heads to explode.
Where is the last bastion to good taste? I think I need to go live there after seeing the second cake.
wvotd..lizoisig: pronounced lees wa sig; the inability to tell what is in good taste and what is not. This condition is accompanied by a lack of insight and the inabiity to learn from one's ventures into bad taste.
Someone needs to stop passing around the haterade.
Karissa's cake is GENIUS.
And anyone who thinks that it lacks taste has CLEARLY never inspected a Facebook or Myspace page, ever.
Reason number 4567838392 to close and LOCK the bathroom door...
Wow. I thought yesterday's baby cake was scary ... those anchors on the first cake look they are about to pop. Back away from the cake, ladies and gentlemen, just back away from the cake ...
The second one does not even deserve a comment. I hope the decorator quit/was fired in shame after that one! No excuse!
You always worry about awful photos of yourself ending up on the Internet. Poor Karissa! On a cake that ends up on the Internet!
The toilet one gives new meaning to the phrase "tasteless" doesn't it!
I just hope that that wasn't chocolate mud cake.
I will never eat mud cake again!
I know that girl on the Potty's Momma is real proud.
(WV:Muffle what you do when you are reading Cakewrecks at work.)
Sure hope the grad cake didn't include a request for fudge filling.
WV: Cheri. Karissa with a cheri on top, ftw!
This is like rubber-necking at an accident on the freeway. You know you shouldn't look , but, you...just...can't...help...
yourself...
First Karissa has to endure getting that cake at her party. I bet she thought it was sort of funny. With her family & friends. I wonder how funny she thinks it is now that it's all over the Internet? Because now, we all know what a big freak Karissa is. And we have the toilet picture AND the cake to prove it. But hey- at least she's got that diploma! Congrats Karissa!
I can't help but wonder whether Karissa was in on the joke. There are lots of people out there who have such a lowbrow sense of humor. (As an example, I sometimes refer to myself as a "young fart", as opposed to all those old farts out there.)
At least, I certainly hope she was in on the joke.
Hey maybe the Frolicking Fraulein is onto something here.
"So what picture do you want on your graduation cake Karissa?"
"Oh how about the picture from my MySpace profile!"
I've definitely seen this bad and worse on people's social networking pages. I just never thought I'd see it on a cake. *scratches her head* And I agree with Neil too...from the look on her face she needs to lay off eating whole blocks of cheese in one sitting.
I can just hear the 5 years olds now.... "I want the butt! I want the butt!"

That graduation cake is just wrong on so many levels. Wow!
The first cake is bizarre. Having once worked in radio and seen firstshand what a "fan" does in frosting to represent a deejay, I feel the pain there.
The second cake. Holy crap. And I mean that literally. Talk about a "dump" cake! And dang, the diploma does look like a Tampex.
It seems after all the ahem, goofy pictures of teens that have shown up on the internet would make people think twice about posing for this kind of picture. Evidently not ... I fear for humanity's future ...

stopping by to say congrats on your Weblog nom!

Holy. Yikes. That is all.
To the Frolicking Fraulein:
Unfortunately comparing bad to to even worse taste does not negate or void the original bad taste!
WV - fieles -what the dyslexic thinks this cake will attract.
FOMCALMAO (Falling Off My Chair, etc)
Oh, my god! LOL
I could just see the daughter looking at her mother a the while saying "Why, mother, Why?
*Snicker*
Peace,
Clueuin
I hope its not Chocolate
OMG does not even begin to describe it. Those booby heads are weird. But I am so jealous! When will I have my inflatable ego put on a cake for all to admire!
On Karissa's cake though, why does everyone assume it was her family? That looks like the work of very dear and near friends to me!
That last cake defines trailer-trash-mentality. Only an utterly classless parent would think that's a terrific idea for a graduation cake, complete with expletive spelled out in blue frosting.
This country is DOOMED.
They'll put a picture of an adult woman on a toilet on a cake, but not the little boy named Adolf's name?
Hmmm....
I absolutely adore the clothes on the first cake!
Hookay, I'd pitch a fit to rival the Spartans in 300, if that second cake ever happened to me. THere are just some things that are too sick to laugh at.
I laughed when I realized you blocked out the 4 letter word, but had no problem posting a picture of a girl on the toilet with her pants around her ankles. Such standards! :)
OK, when I first opened this page I got a bad glare from the window, and I seriously thought the male anchor was supposed to be Kevin from the US version of The Office, and I couldn't for the life of me figure out who on the show the woman was. I was having a really hard time figuring out how you would tie this to the "I Want Sprinkles" cake that quoted Angela from that very same series.
Then I read the actually commentary on the blog.
And then I read the comments.
It's even funnier and stranger than I originally imagined.
Cake #1 is disturbing and scary.
Cake #2 is disturbing and nasty.
WV: Shlyot These cake wreckorators oughta by shlyot.
Man, you guys are all WAY too uptight. That graduation cake is just funny! It's quirky humour that some people don't get, but others (myself included) do. Just because we find that funny doesn't mean we're dumb, or trailer trash, or anything else like that. We just appreciate the weird side of life.
I'm the type that likes Monty Python, though, so that might explain it a bit. :)
Quite honestly - if I can get my youngest son through HS to graduation, I'm thinking a cake along those lines would be perfect. I'll bet his principal would help me pay for it too, since I'm sure he'll feel the same 'holy s***' way as the rest of us!
Those are just ick and wrong!!
That second cake - class. Pure class.
I bet poor Karissa was truly pissed off by that one.
What kind of boneheads think taking pictures of people on toilets is funny? With family like that, it's no wonder they are amazed she graduated.
*LOL* I guess embarrassing your kids rally is a full time job...hehe! I dont know though, I probably won't do any toilet shots of my kids on the toilet for graduation!
I think that the graduation cake is pretty funny.
The toilet cake is great. But you cant eat a cake where someone is taking a dump!!!!!!!!
That is horrible! I love how one picture doesn't even cover the mound o' cake!
I'm just glad that the writing and borders on the Karissa cake isn't brown.
Word Verification: Ofibli - Obmoa's second cousin
I'd've killed whoever took a picture of me on the pot. Photo would've been destroyed so putting it on a cake wouldn't have even been an issue.
Oh yeah, and also, I can't think of anyone in my life who'd think to put such a picture on a CAKE of all things.
Hell's bells!
The first time I viewed this post, the ad at the bottom said "diaper cakes" and I thought it was part of the post!
Absolutely adore this blog, by the way.
That second cake is absolutely hysterical! Wish I'd have thought of it!
Is.. anyone else getting the "Diaper Cake" ad? I burst out laughing over it, but.. then I realized it was real...

Cake Wrecks, where even the ads fail.
Wow, that first cake is downright SCARY! And the 2nd, that's just nasty!
~K
ummm... Seriously some one needs to out law edible photo on cakes.
When people request a photo on a cake the men is white coats need to swoop in and take them to a padded cell where they can rethink the whole thing.
Blog Luv Award~ You have been tagged as one of my top 10 blogs! Take a moment to spread the LUV around.
I can't believe so many people don't realize that the toilet picture is completely posed and voluntary. No one busted in on her in the bathroom actually using it. She probably came up with the idea herself.
Am I the only person who thought the second cake was hilarious?? :)
And my husband wonders why I lock the bathroom door....
That's just wrong.
LOL, I recognized the last photo immediately! A friend of mine took it years ago (before cakewrecks existed!) at the bakery she works for, and said that whoever ordered it never came back to claim it. I'm glad she found the photo, we were just saying it'd make a good submission.
You really have to wonder about the relationship Karissa has with a person who would a) take a picture of her on the toilet, and b)put said picture on a graduation cake (or any cake for that matter). I wonder how that relationship held up after this incident?
God I hope that's not a chocolate cake! :)
Nothing like being caught with your pants down. LOL
I'm surprises that the bakery accepted this photo for putting on a cake. There should be a way for bakeries to decline photos they deem obscene--such as this one. Bodily functions don't belong in public, least of all on edibles.
for all of the people whose minds have been absolutely shattered over the second cake, who's to say that the honoree didn't love it, or even plan it? Or that the people eating the cake didn't totally get the joke and not have any problem at all eating a cake with edible ink that happens to be sprinkled in a pattern to resemble a photograph? Because that's really all it is... little dots of edible ink. It apparently WAS a good idea to the people who ordered and enjoyed it.
To Anonymous of January 26th - If you had bothered to read ALL the posts before jumping in to defend the s**t cake, you would have come across the post by Blogger Scythemantis who revealed that the "dots" were never enjoyed by anyone. The recipient blessedly never even SAW the cake. It was never picked up. Soooooo, we would have to conclude that someone finally sobered up and realized that putting a photo of someone on a toilet - posed or otherwise - and with a swear word on it - was NOT a good idea.
And if, in some parallel universe, people did "get it" and enjoy it, good for them. I still think it's rubbish and tacky. Am I not allowed to have an opinion? Or are you the Chief of the Opinion Police?
As for people's minds being "shattered" by the sheer bad taste of the cake (no pun intended) - Do you honestly think people went through the rest of the day/week unable to think of anything else with a look of disgust permanently pasted on their faces? Goodness me! It's a CAKE! It's a PICTURE of a cake! Why would anyone be shattered over that? Lord knows we have bigger problems. This site is a pleasant diversion, and sometimes we like to leave/read comments - opinions - without having to deal with a lecture from someone who doesn't even bother to GET the FACTS first. @@
why would anyone do that, everyone probablt didnt want a piece of the picture, you know, cause.
The thing I'm most curious about is that strange, yellow halo around the man's head. Maybe a Bakery-God who was cursed with a sort of Pinocchio-but-with-a-fat-head thing?
D'OH! And poor Karissa! Can you imagine?
Karissa: Hey, it's graduation! Phew! I passed! Aww, thanks, a surprise party! And a cake-- this is too mu... I thought you deleted that. *deadly glare*
the first cake looks like 3-d gone wrong... like a horrible hallucinogenic trip...This will be my discouragement from ever doing any kind of hallucinogenics...
Actually, I think we're all missing the deeper surealism here; that's a picture of a guy's head printed ONTO a head. So I imagine he is facing away from us and he has a tatoo of his own face printed on the back of his head. And his jacket's on backwards. Yeah, that's it.
Wow, Jen, how to you DO this every day???
Thanks for ruining me perfectly good breakfast! ha xx

Well, she probably has now.
