First there's Ginger, the deranged, dandruff-riddled cookie:
Sure she's a bit flaky, but be careful; Ginger snaps.Then there's Harry, the five o'clock shadow elf:
As you can see, Harry likes to make a pig of himself.Poopsie & Flopsie always know how to bring the holiday cheer:
Yep. Once they leave, everyone is MUCH more cheerful.Humpty here likes to talk with his hands:
I would translate, but there are children present.Then there's Tiny:
[singing] But do you recaaall...
The most famous misfit of all?
Yes, it's...

Yes, it's...

What is Flopsie even supposed to BE? I assume Poopsie is a "reindeer."
Stunning. Absolutely stunning. PooDolph is no doubt my favorite!
"An open letter to these cake 'decorators':
Globs of icing do not obscure the lack of definition in the design, the fact that it's a pile of cupcakes, or that you have little to no artistic talent. Is it any wonder the continent is experiencing a serious rise in diabetes?

So Very Sad (and not diabetic)"
The PooDolph makes me cry like a baby ;_;
Ask and ye shall receive.

Poo-Dolph... hee hee hee
I love you guys.
I'd be rushing Poopsie and Poo-Dolph to the nearest vet, because it looks like they have (wait for it....) blood in their stool. Sorry, that was the best laugh I've had all week!
Karmell
Seriously, poo-dolph looks like one of the demons from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (tv show, not movie of course).
Brown swirls will always look like poo - ALWAYS! Poo is not festive, even if it's covered in sprinkles and surrounded by red and green frosting. 'nuff said?
WV: soletick - I would rather have a Lyme-Disease-bearing soletick than eat one of these poo-cakes.
Oh, I do love the teeeeny little antlers on Poo-dolph.
Poodolph the bullnosed slain deer...
Had a very slimy nose...
And if you ever smelled it...
You would even say "oh noes"...
omg. omg. omg. omg.
I could excuse a five-year-old for making these, but for crying out loud, adults? Employed in a bakery?
WHOO HOOO Xmas frogs and drunken trolls!
....what? WTF?
Oh, Jen! You sleigh me! You saved the best for laughst [last]!
I have never seen a reindeer look more repulsive. Perhaps he thinks he's a dog and rolled in it?
You make my day - every day! Hugs & thanks!
Anyone else see #2 and immediately think of Sloth? "Hey you guuuyyyyss!!"
These are hilarious! I love your witty comments! Thanks for the laughter... it's a great way to start the day.
Is the elf chewing bubblegum? And what the heck are those green things on the 3rd one - praying mantises (manti?)? I also thought they were charging 19.99 for those cupcakes...
The Poopsie and flopsie!!!! It's Christmas Poo!!!!!!!! Hiiiiii-Deeeeeee-Hooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Heidi :)
Poo-Dolph.... dear Lord, I needed that laugh this morning!
Superb commentary today, Jen and John.
Ginger looks like a product of the "throw everything in the kitchen on the cake" school of decorating-- a tendency I've been guilty of a time or two myself.
"Ginger snaps" LOL!
I'm trying to figure out what in the world the white cupcakes on Poo-dolph are even supposed to be. Cheeks? Snaggle teeth? Mumps? Giant oozing pimples? Ewww...
Oh, wow. A Jungle Cruise speil reference *and* a Beetlejuice reference? All in one post? I'm impressed! (with the wit, anyway...the cakes, well, um...I guess that's why they're here.)
Awwww, be nice to poor Ginger. Her psoriasis is a'flairing.
I also thought immediately of Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo!!
Duh. Flopsie is the Christmas Praying Mantis.
Ginger snaps...ha
I got the Jungle Cruise reference :)
Poo-Dolph is a real treat! You've outdone yourself with this one.
"Ginger snaps" and "Poo-Dolph" had me in stitches. XD
Very funny, as usual.
I just want to say that I've bought your book, and it's totally hysterical. I want to get more copies and give them to friends. I'm hoping to create more Cake Wrecks fans.
Evy
OMG...PooDolph is both so so funny and so so scary all at the same time.
Oh! is it a reindeer on the cupcake? it's not a poopbat? Are you sure? because it really looks like the north american poopbat according to my audubon field guide. and I'm sure the green one is (flipping field guide pages) the southeastern naked turtle mantis - a distant cousin to the turtledove.
Regarding Ginger, especially-- has Sandra Lee been trying to decorate cakes again? Bwahahahaha!!
p.s. (If so, that probably IS bubble gum in the elf's mouth!)

http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/12/kwanzaa-will-not-be-spared.html
BOOYAH!!! Great puns!
Amazing. That last one...you slay me!
"careful, Ginger snaps" LOL
Dandruff riddled cookie...why is she wrapped like a poo present? Is this an insult cake? and what were they thinking by making eyes by piling pastel sprinkles on poo brown icing?
I didn't know baby carrots grew in a curve (her mouth). And mint green hands and feet--isn't that an Easter color? take a cue from the mismatched button you used, wreckerator!
wv: bulog--this is the funniest bulog on the net!
Hanky the Christmas Poo!
Poo-dolph....Just wow. Yet more proof of the evils of CCCs. And sorry but wth are those white cupcakes on the side supposed to be?
Harry is one happy elf-pig!
Why are scared, naked frogs a Christmas icon? on blue icing, no less. looks like he's sitting in a pond. slap a hat on him and it's an xmas frog?
Next to poo blobs with pretzel "antlers" (salty pretzel with icing. YUM. my local supermarket is making reindeer cupcakes with pretzel antlers but they're way cuter than these poo specimens.)
Porky the Elf...and PooDolph...what are these people thinking? And, why are they "professional" cake decorators? Why not work in the deli or produce?
are those amphibian cupcakes supposed to be the Grinch? nice try, wreckerator. the Grinch is supposed to be SCARY, not SCARED.
Nice recycling of the Easter egg cake pan on the snowman with the runaway mitten and the toupee.
oh, Poo Dolph, what tiny antlers you have! (are you holding your breath with those puffy cheeks?)
It took a little imagination, but I think Flopsie is supposed to be the Grinch...maybe??
Poo-dolph is the most horrifying cake wreck I have even seen!
Blogless Mary Lou
When did frogs become part of the Christmas cast of characters? That is what the green blob next to the brown blob is supposed to be right?
Ginger snaps!! That is too funny!! hehehe
"Poo-Dolph, the Bulldozed, Slain Deer!" When I scrolled down and read that, I absolutely and automatically sang it in my head. Then I sang it out loud just to hear it. It was magical.
The green peppermint on Ginger makes me uncomfortable....
I find the fact that the first snowman cake is a yellow cake kind of funny too--I was always warned not to eat yellow snow!!
Is Flopsie some kind of love child of Grinch with severe arthritis?
Here's a tip:
Don't eat yellow snow (-man cake)!
what the hail is Flopsie? Perhaps a green slime goblin come to ruin christmas?
Yes, Poo-Dolph was, er, funny (not really the right word) but Harry the Maniacal Teddy Bear Leprechaun made me laugh out loud. What the hell??? I'm trying to imagine on whose planet that would be festive.
:::in a hushed voice::: Ah, and here we have the elusive Poo Moose (third pic down)! This is an event indeed, folks, for it means six more weeks of craptacular cakes:-D
Is Flopsie supposed to be the Grinch? Oh wait a minute it's the Grinch's twin brother Ba-hum-bug! LOL
Turn PooDolph upside down and he's a goat with a santa hat! (yes, I totally turned my laptop over to look at it that way)
Humpty on a t-shirt for all those joyous family get togethers!
My 7 yr old son thought the "flopsies" were sick (as in ill) aliens wearing Santa hats. What that has to do with Christmas I don't know....Hey, maybe they're supposed to be Grinches!
Till now, I considered store-buying my holiday treats because I'm still kind of recovering from joint replacement surgery.
But I think I'll go bake some stuff now!
Pooh-dolph! *rofl*
(another thing that made me chuckle- the "word verification" for me to post is "manterms")
The "yellow cake" is even more of a wreck if it has uranium in it.
POODOLPH??? HAHAHAHAA....gee you'd think I was a 13 year old boy..and BTW, I'm not. :)
Am I the only one who thinks the first photo there is actually of a Golliwogg on a cake?
Enid Blyton would be excited to see good ol' Golly lives on, this time after a schoolyard misunderstanding that saw Big Ears shove Golly face-first into a bowl of sprinkles.
Ginger snaps - Can't take the punishment.
Thanks for the tip to turn my laptop upside down to see the Poodolph transformed into the goat in a Christmas hat. An upside down laptop helps many wrecks look, umm...better.
Harry's nose looks an awful lot like a nipple. A big, pink nipple.
wow! just wow!
I... I just can't take it. This is zapping all Christmas spirit out of me. Somehow they just keep getting worse.
Also, I honestly thought that was a Cheese Puff/Cheeto as Ginger's nose.
Funny, Funny, Funny! Thanks for my morning chuckle!
Ginger Snaps? I should groan at this, but it works so well for that deranged CCC.
Ginger looks like she has a cheese curl for a nose!!
I didn't know Santa had psychotic frogs working for him. Or are those praying mantisses?
Oh dear, Poodolph! I can't stop laughing.
You Americans certainly know how to celebrate the festive season in style!
I'd stay out of Tiny's way-- he looks like he's prepared to club somebody.
They should be a law against brown frosting that looks like that.
Maybe Humpty-the-Snowman is only yellow in the center of the cake, but white around the sides. Kind of like a big Cadbury Easter egg.
Disturbing. Most disturbing.
Muahahahahaha!!!!
When I saw Poopsie and Flopsie, I thought it couldn't get any "better", but Poo-dolph is definitely the grossest/funniest/most disturbing Cake Wreck I've seen so far! Seriously, WHAT WERE THE BAKERS THINKING?????? O.O
Poopsie looks hysterically like Melvin the neurotic giraffe from Madagascar.
These are atrocious and your commentary is delicious!
Oh. My. Lord. And I thought parody had already been taken to its farthest reaches by Jen in previous posts. Poo-Dolph renews my amazement. Jen, I think the whole song is in order here ... in fact, I'm thinking a Cake Wrecks winter holiday edition hardcover book with bonus CD of music to play while reading. I'd totally buy it.
Flopsie looks like Santa's Little Praying Mantis to me!
I'm going to have nightmares about Harry. Gah...
As for li'l Ginger, all I can think is: "No! Not my gumdrop buttons!"
WV: aemia. "I'm gonna aemia Super Soaker at these things and put 'em out of their misery. It's the right thing to do."
Do you really want a Poo-dolph shirt? I can make one.
Maybe I am just hungry but these all look good to me. I wouldn't kick any of them off my plate.
All that's missing is a Mr. Hankie the Christmas Poo cake.
Jen seriously, how long does it take you to come up with these captions? Poohdolph FTW. Just brilliant. :)
Oh! Laughed so hard at this one the cat is looking at me like I'm a nut! :-)
Kate said...
"Am I the only one who thinks the first photo there is actually of a Golliwogg on a cake?"
Probably. But that is an interesting idea. Once you've gone this far, why not make your CCC racially, as well as aesthetically, offensive?
You'd think they'd at least attempt to make the brown icing look not so much like poo, you know? *shakes head*
you have the most exquisite humor! Keep em coming...
Beetlejuice win! XD
lol. i love the caption for the snowman with the shrunken head.
I'll bet when Ginger snaps, she spits milk in your eye!
I was guessing that Flopsie might be trying to be Grinch, but I like the praying mantis idea that others had! I thought they looked like weird frogs at first. I feel like Frosty in that one is giving everyone the finger.
Pooh-Deer has to be the all time ugliest thing I have ever seen. Happy Holidays!!!
Why is Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo sitting on a chair made of pretzels?
These are amazing! I think my favorite are poopsie and flopsy. Why is a frog in a santa hat seasonal again???

http://mydogeats.blogspot.com
The saddest part of all -- Poopsie and Flopsie are supposed to be white chocolate raspberry cheesecake cupcakes, according to the little tag. It could've been so beautiful ...
Martian Kermit Elves?
These are ALL so disturbing! I WILL have nightmares!
I'm so excited that the PooDolph cake was a hit! Getting a submission on Cake Wrecks made my day. :) I no longer work at the bakery that produced that cake (and no, I wasn't the decorator - I got to work one day last holiday season and it was there waiting for me), but I'll have to swing by and see what they've come up with this year. ;)
I'm going to guess that those Flopsie and Poopsie cupcakes are the Grinch and his dog Max. Otherwise, what's festive about a quasi-frog with a hat and some poop (or is a turkey?) with antlers?!
That last one still has me scratching my head. Rudolph? Really? Looks like a devil blowing kisses with marshmallows in its cheeks ;)
I hope you guys find some really cool Rudolph ones for a Sunday Sweets post!
Thanks for the chuckles ...
Poo dolph. omg. i lold
I totally thought the first one was an owl. The last one: eew.
I hope that is actually Ginger's dandruff, and not, say, the baker's.
Xmas = Hope, I guess...
Poo-dolph is classic! I would still eat it though...cake is cake!
I have been looking at poopsie and flopsie all day and it just doesn't get any less funny!
May I just say, that Poo-dolph the bulldozed slain deer made me spit and spill scalding coffee all over myself and my screen. Well played, wrecker, well played.
Obviously, I found today's wrecks to be splendidly comical.

***********************************
I agree this could become a holiday classic, but sometimes cake is...too suspicious for human consumption.
I'm concerned about Humpty's health - he appears to be made out of a nuclear bi-product. (Who knew yellow cake was so readily available!)
Snowman with tiny head has me laughing like a maniac!
O.M.G....I should have known to come here first when I was having a crappy day (pun only sort of intended). Thanks for the wonderful laugh!
Harry, the nipple-nosed elf-pig... how festive!
wv: reakeys. These are really reakey cakes.
Hilary
I laughed so hard about the "poo-dolph" cake that I cried. I absolutely want a t-shirt of it. ha ha. That was the transition from the snowman "tiny" to the "poo-dolph."
Ginger snaps! really made me laugh in real life...that was the pun of the evening!
Jen, this was one of your best posts yet (and I've been a loyal daily reader for >1 year). Just too witty today!
Poo-Dolph....I just snorted, I laughed so hard!
Well done on the wordplay. I think you may have set a new record for a single post. The pictures may me smile (and cringe), but it's your writing that keeps bring me back. Thanks!!
I think Flopsie is a grinch.
Poopsie however is obviously the infamous turdaphant from Last years, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.
What do you think would happen if you actually asked for a cake with poo decorations? Hmmm......
Flopsie looks like the love child of Kermit the Frog and E.T. It took me a while to realize it was the Grinch!
Poo-Dolph will haunt my dreams.
Oh, and the best thing about the bulldozed reindeer is the teeeeeeny tiny antlers. I can't stop giggling every time I look at them.
The poop!! The poooop!! (supposed to be a play on "the horror! the Hoooror!)
Mr. Hanky, is that you?
Man, I love those poo antlers. And maybe Humpty is the Christmas version of Pedobear. Yuh.
Yay for the Beetlejuice reference - half these Santa's look worse than he did!
Okay so the first one looks like Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo from South Park. Hideee-Ho Neighbor!!! ROTFL!!!!!
SOMEone's on a pun roll! (poo-dolph) teehee :D thanks for the laughs Jen!
OMGosh those are nasty looking "cakes"..can you imagine taking one of those to a school function this holiday season??? The children would BEG not to eat them and swear they'll be GOOD until Christmas...just don't give them those cakes! Aghghgh
Shaunery
Boooo, I now have an inexplicable craving for a poo reindeer.
Extra points for the Beetlejuice reference!
Jen, did you see this comic about cake? Right up cakewrecks alley!

Even my 3 year old said that Poo-Dolf was a "poop with a face".
Been on Jungle Cruise lately? Ha! I have greatly enjoyed the holiday wrecks.
Love the Beetlejuice link for Tiny the snowman...really made me laugh to remember the ending of the movie.
Haunted Mansion reference one day, Jungle Cruise reference the day before... you guys rock!e
Star said...
Holy Lord God of Hosts, what are those green things supposed to be? Kermit, maybe? A praying mantis, as some have suggested? The Southeastern Naked Turtle Mantis (brilliant, BTW)? What unholy thing hath this Wreckorator wrought?
I can't get those things out of my mind because I don't know what they are! Sweet merciful heaven, before I lose what little sanity I have left...
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE THOSE GREEN THINGS???!!!
I'm just too damn lazy to scroll through the comments and see if anyone else thought of this first, but maybe instead of a slaindeer, maybe a 'stain' deer would be more appropriate since he is named Poodolph...
That last one is hilarious. I'm going to be singing that now!
Anna Marie
Does anybody else see that PooDolph is wearing big white clip-on earrings? Festive!
Yes, you need to make a PooDolph shirt. That would be hilarious! The official holiday Cake Wrecks shirt.
I hope Mr. Hanky is suing the Poopsie cupcake people.
We decided Flopsie is the holiday Praying Mantis. Very festive!
Poo-dolph is beyond amazing -- I wasn't sure what it was at first although I had an idea. This is waayyyy too funny. Love it!
Can you send me to some places to see some of these gems? In NYC?
www.travelandfoodnotes.com
I think I love poopsie more than flopsie, but I don't know why.
So, to make sure I full understand, professional bakers/cake decorators made these things? And those professional bakers weren't so embarrassed that they threw these 'things' in the trash before someone was able to take pictures of them? oh. okay.
I also really liked the dandruff creature, but it did make my skin crawl.
tiny made me laugh so hard.
Thank you so much for this. Haven't laughed this much in two and a half years!
Be nice to PooDolph. He has an antler inadequacy complex. Imagine what the female slaindeers say to him, poor guy. Talk about not playing any reindeer games . . .
Liz in Seattle
OK, so those little cup cakes...(cc's in the "BIZ") those little green things look like geckos that are freezing to death next to ... dunno... how about some sort of mutated crustasian with a hemoroid prob...maybe?
can't.....breathe.......laughing...too.....hard.....
Poo-dolph the junior Reindeer
Wished to be a household name,
Just like his cousin Rudolph,
With his great historic fame.
He needed practice flying, so
Went out to the city dump
Where gigantic mounts of garbage
Made a super place to jump.
Landing was his weakest point
He found he couldn't stop--
Crashed into a rubbish heap
(You should look before you leap!)
Bulldozed and trash-compacted,
Garbage-scowed right out to sea,
Poor Poo-dolph, the bulldozed, slain deer, your end will be a mystery!
Barb, that was ingenious and I thank you greatly! LOL
I think it looks like an abstract Ganesha. With eyes on his feet?
I like that the snowman is made in yellow cake...yellow snow anyone lol
you make me cry and tinkle...
@ Barb - That was awesome!! I sang it...

poodolph the bulldozed slain deer
had a very flattened nose
and if you ever saw it
you could even say it's gross
all of the other slain deer
used to laugh and call him maimed
they wouldnt let poor poo dolph
join in any slain deer games
then one foggy christmas eve
santa came to say
what the heck did i step in
scraping poo dolph off my shoe
now poo dolph's very smushy
and his face is in the trash
just goes to show what happens
if you end up on cake wrecks in the first place!
(see, I don't have to rhyme)
Loved the Beetlejuice reference!
Man some of those cakes are..lovely.
I swear I am going to get fired for laughing too loud. This whole post...just incredible. I cannot stop reading these things. PooDolph may begin to cure my frosting addiction....
Everyone together now!
"Poo-Dolph, the Bulldozed, Slain Deer

And if you ever saw it,
you would even say . . .
say . . . uh . . ."
Crap, I can't think of anything to add. I'm laughing too hard.
Jen, I know now what to sing during Christmas. And if people ask me why I'm singing that, I shall direct them to this blong to cure of the horrible disease of not knowing what your blog is.
