Put The Coffee DOWN
Thursday, August 20, 2009
The following diet-assisting monstrosity was actually ordered by a customer. And what is it?
Go ahead, guess. I'll wait...
Spaghetti with tomato-y cream sauce?
An ear?
A cherry, Cheez-Whiz and regurgitation torte?
Nope, nope and nope! Give up?
It's a fetus-with-an-iPod pie!
Uh, I guess fetus cookies would have been going too far?
Thanks to Maayan Z. for being such a great sport!

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 252 of 252 Newer› Newest»is it bad that i knew what that was right as soon as i saw it?
UGH! that one icky-looking cake/pice thing!
word verification: commmurf. the sound you make while you try not to loose your lunch.
It should not be "put the coffee down," it should be "have a bucket handy." That is the closest I have *ever* come to puking over an internet photo of anything, especially a cake. Now please excuse me, I think I need to take some Pepto and lay down.
It's Giygas from Earthbound! Start praying Paula or where all doomed.
Wow.
Wow.
One "wow" for the wreck itself, another because I correctly guessed what it was.
Can I barf now? Please?
Oh...my...lord....I almost threw up looking at it. Unfortunately, I TOTALLY saw what it was off the bat, how weird.
Oh, sure. I look at this AFTER I just ate half a bag of Doritos in one sitting. The big bag.
Hi, this is MAAYAN, the one who baked the pie. I feel terrible for all the stuff people are saying... the commission had sweet sentiment, i t was for a baby shower. I think it was entirely my fault that it ended up appearing like a pile of deformed barf-baby.
...O_o...o_O...*scratches head*...fetus pie...um........yeah. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. I got the iPod part right. The rest, never would've guessed. That is just...wow.
blink blink blink
i thought it was the intestines with an ipod.
ewww to me it looks like intestines or brain.
I thought it was an illustration of what can go wrong when the surgeon doesn't check the abdominal cavity for foreign objects before closing. Because that sure looked like intestines to me.
I don't see a fetus. I thought it was stomach and intestines!
Blugh! I'm am having a nice bout of pregnancy induced morning nausea, and thought I'd cheer myself up by checking my favourite blog! Boy was that a mistake!
I'm with Nikalady...that pie is just wrong on so many levels...
I must say that I'm scared that I knew what it was BEFORE reading your comments!!!
WOW...that is really really disgusting!! Excuse me while I go vomit...
That is absolutely disgusting. Seriously.
Hi Maayan - thanks for the explanation. Now, inquiring minds want to know: What kind of filling did it have, and was it tasty?
No. Just. NO.
Whatever it is, it's nasty!
Dang. Just when I thought I was getting over this stomach virus! ~erp~

Its a cake before the stomach band surgery. the cake is supposed to be the whole inside of your body. kinda gross, but great way to celebrate with cake before limited what u can eat for the rest of your life.

Hmm, if I were a baker, I don't think I'd comply with that request. I hope I wouldn't be that hard up for money.
LOL re: feed us pie/fetus pie! (2nd comment)
Lol, I was looking at it and thinking "hmm... fetus...with an ipod... pie" and then I scrolled down and that was what it was! I really feel like I accomplished something. :D
WHAT HAS BEEN SEEN CANNOT BE UNSEEN
Ohhh...eeeeewwww!! I thought it was intestines!
Yes! I guessed correctly!
A fetus? Really? I though it was a naked mole rat with an iPod. See, if it was a naked mole rat, it would have a reason to be underground, and since it's underground it's surrounded by earthworms. That makes SO much more sense than a fetus. After all, how would you get the iPod to the fetus?? Er... Don't answer that.
Love the TMBG reference - I'll be humming Triangle Man for the rest of the evening now!
And fetus pie is just all sorts of wrong. "Feed us pie"...LOL
Ah-ha! I guessed it. But ew.
It freaks me out a little that I recognized that immediately. That's almost creepier than the pie.
Gross, gross and triple gross. Who would ever eat that? http://blog.sweetservices.com/sweetscandyblog/
TAYLOR (comment #2) You take the cake!
(or pie, as in this instance)
super nasty and so wrong on many man levels.
I just cant help thinking about how my 4-yr-old kept asking me to eat some toys so that his baby sister would have something to play with.
wv: ingstion. Seriously, does someone sit around and think of words that almost meet the cake?
this one wins the gross award! i could barely look at it even before i knew what it was!
Quite possibly the most repulsive thing I've ever seen.
I could totally tell that was a fetus with an ipod the second I looked at it. What does that say about me???
But a pie? Why???
I saw brains, a stethoscope, and spagetti. Groosssss.
The Onion ran a story in... 2000ish? that featured a fetus with a TV, in utero. I can't for the life of me find the original story, but I liked the image so much that I put it on my own website, so, via the Wayback Machine, here it is: http://web.archive.org/web/20040318220454/www.thebighouse.us/partarc2.html
Gross! Would anyone actually eat this?
I am retching at the thought of people cutting into this "pie". Gah, wtf..........................???
I'm disgusted with myself that that was actually my first guess. On second glance though, it looks more like an inside-out pig laying on a pile of spaghetti with a wind-up radio attached to its eye.
It's horrific.
Oh and Taylor, the frenzied mob screaming "fetus pie" really cracked me up.
Aaaah gawd, that actually gave me a not very nice sensation in my stomach area... and may I say, that's not an easy task there.
I thought it was some kind of intestine representation...
So, now if you'll excuse me, I'll have to throw my dinner up >_>
What's really sad is that in medieval times there were desserts made out of figs and honey that were designed to look like fresh entrails...you would take the figs and string them, arrange them on a platter to look like intestines, and then coat them with honey so they glistened. I still can't fathom what people were thinking about that, let alone THIS abomination.
Are you sure this wasn't ordered by Mr. David Cronenberg?
I am six months pregnant and I've been wondering what babies do all day in the womb....now that I have seen this cake...I know my little girl is jamming to an ipod and her movement is dancing to her fave song! lol
I hope my insides don't look like that I'm going to have nightmares!
That is just gross. Simple as that. My stomach turned. Not good. xx
Is it bad that I actually knew what this was??? lol. The ONLY reason I can think someone would order this is because they were going to have a baby shower and wanted to use the whole advertising phase ipod went through using the baby fetus listening to the ipod. I don't know, maybe if this thing had more details to the baby itself it wouldn't of been as bad???
