The #2 Way to Ruin a Cake

Friday, January 15, 2010

Step #1: Take a perfectly decent-looking cake

Step #2: Add random poo piles - just for giggles.

C'mon, everybody, sing it with me: "Chain chain chaaaaain! Chain of poos!!"

Eh? What's that? You think those are simply palm tree poos? Ok, I guess I could see that. But, can you explain...[dramatic pause]...THIS?

?!?

Actually, this isn't too much of a leap if you figure the customer asked for a "Princess and the Pea" cake. [wicked grin]


Then there are the stock designs with poo built right in:

Poor Wall-E. I bet right about now he's wishing the humans had stayed in space.


And to think: this is what "passes" for "cake decorating." But hey, maybe the designer was wiped out after a hard day logging too many hours, and got a little lax? If so, let that be a lesson to us all: don't push too hard; you'll only strain yourself producing crappy results.

:D


And finally, a classic for the ages:

Beauty and the Feces.



Many thanks to my #2 wreckporters Kelli N., Wendi P., Stacey B., Jenny, & Sara B.

1) Who knew that Curious George was a poo-flinger?
2) "A dream is a wish that your fart makes!"
3) That must be from the scene in the movie where Eve shoots at Wall-E. Because she scared the crap out of him!
4) Isn't Wolverine's name really Logan?
5) Would a rose by anything like that smell as sweet?

OMG! The commentary under the fourth cake is killing me!! How many toilet jokes can you work into on paragraph:)

Perhaps next time you do a poopy post, you might want to give a heads up on what this entry contains. It does look very convincing (at least a few of them do) so I simply won't comment further.

Trevor said...

Obviously the last one is meant to be fertilizer for the rose. I mean, c'mon Jen, get with it. I disappointed you missed that. :) I mean what else could it be (Because, honestly, I don't want to THINK about what else it could be... and neither do you!)?

Cake #1: tell the wreckerator cocanuts are NOT SHINY!
On the other hand maybe sometimes poo is...blech...
These wrecks go with that disturbing "man on a toilet" cake... [shivers]

The last one is really nasty but I give points for artistic skills. Looks like real poo

faunablues said...

For cake #1, I am concerned about why that monkey is trapped underwater with all that seaweed. Maybe that's the source of the poo.

Kathleen said...

That fairy tale castle with the poop trail leading to it was obviously the work of someone who is experiencing a less-than-fairytale life, and he/she just wanted to make sure everyone knows it!

jo said...

oh, the puns today! you are on fire!

wasn't Wall-E SUPPOSED to clean up crap? :p maybe they should have stuck him in a litterbox cake.

and are those piles supposed to be from "ass"teroids or something?

pretty pink plastic palace + river of poo blobs. I don't get it. Is it a poo path of stones? the color is so offensive compared to the pink. was it an "accident"?

nice captions, Taylor!

"Beauty and the Feces!" LOL But seriously, what is the intention there???

Normally I don't get too riled up by other comments but...

SHIKISHINOBI, here is your warning. This is a site about CAKE. No real poop was used or misused to create the humour here. People likely ate the cake that you are so offended by. They ate poop looking cake.

And for future reference, ALL the posts here may contain some sort of something that may offend someone. Since you appear to be one of those people who are offended by most everything, Walt Disney has a really nice website you could visit without any fear.

Whew. Thanks for listening.

I was prepared to be generous and could see where the decorators were coming from with cakes 1-4 (although no.3 was a bit too graphic, I just picked up something similar whilst taking my dog out) but that last one beats the cr*p out of me....sorry!

Anonymous said...

If Wall-E's supposed to be on the beach, I thought it could be pretty realistic portrayal of things.

But then I saw the next cake, with poo in space, and I realized I'm back to square one. (Two?)

Etiquette Bitch said...

cw3 doesn't make any sense...what, the robots are....fighting? and poo just comes out of their guns? or the poo field was already there, and that's where the robots happen to fight?
your commentary below cw4 is just effing riotous.

happy weekend!

I *almost* missed the pun in the post's title until I read shikishinobi's comment. You are just amazing, Jen. AMAZING. I wish I could be HALF as punny as you!!!

I had to come back and say...I just saw the title of this post again in my reader and I had a huge "Duh" moment! Then I died laughing...#2 way! Hilarious!

Katrina said...

I agreed with the previous poster. I saw the George cake and thought, "That's actually pretty cute." I didn't think it was wreck-worthy. I actually felt bad for the decorator that it was included.

Then I scrolled down...

The following cakes more than made up for it. Yikes. The last one. Really? Someone ACTUALLY thought, "Yep. That looks great. Slap a price tag on it."

As always, love your post.

Stephanie said...

Oh wow... these are just... crappy. (yeah, yeah, hardy har har) :P

I thought it was handy the little grey and yellow spaceship on #4 had a big shovel on the back. Obviously it's an intergalactic pooper scooper.

Cake #4:

Obviously, the space theme is intended to depict ass-teroids.

Lisa said...

I wouldn't doubt that at least the last one IS actually meant to be poo. There are restaraunts in Japan called Toilet where the ramen, or worse, a brown curry, is served in giant toilet shaped bowls. The japanese have a weird sense of humor about and attachment to...poo. Sorry if you didn't know, but it's true. Maybe this cake is from a japanese run bakery?

We should put these cakes on the Endagered Feces list.

Ok. I feel better now. I'll never eat cake again, but I feel better.

What continues to amaze me is that people actually PAY MONEY for these hideous creations!

Regarding the commenter who posted regarding offensive ads: I visit this site every day (sometimes more than once. . . I know. . . get back to work, Liz) and have never seen anything like that. The ads are almost always about wonderful-looking desserts and weight loss. Nice little feedback loop they've got going there. Anyway, certainly something could've slipped throug the cracks that may be worth investigating, but it isn't the norm to see any remotely sexual ads here in my experience. Just thought you should know in case you were worried.

The first one excites me because my name is Megan and my husband is Kyle.

But then I look at the brown and am creeped out and don't want our names on that cake. :P

Maybe the Princess Cake is Rapunzel's cake... Yeah, and... and... you just can't see HER... Just her Hair... and... and... ok, I got nothin'. Sorry. ;-)

Jamie said...

The Curious George cake might have been cute, if not for those curiously shiny piles. I live in Hawaii, and none of the coconuts here (or the trunks of coconut trees) look like deer pellets. I imagine if they did, it would somewhat detract from the beauty of these islands.

I'm really trying to put myself in the wreckerators' shoes, to figure out what these must have looked like to them to make them think they were passable... Yeah, I got nothing.

Anonymous said...

Appart from the obvious poo factor, I'm still trying to determine what that last item is? Is it really a 2 piece CCC? A side view of a sheet cake? TELL ME!!

I could think of is this would make a hilarous break-up cake. Forget a "Dear John" letter. This would certainly get the message accross!

I actually read the comment about offensive ads three times thinking someone was trying to be ironic and I was just missing it. Guess I was wrong! Thank to the person who posted info about AdBlock Plus. I didn't know something like that existed.

If such an ad was found here, how on earth will you ever know it was removed without looking at the site again?


About that Curious George cake, I think it absolutely belongs here. Just because poo is well-executed, it's still poo. And pate de fois gras is still just liver. In either case, I don't know why people go to such lengths to defend something so dreadful! There are other colors to consider in the jungle besides poo-brown, you know. I think there were probably some bets taken back in the kitchen when that one was made. Also, same when pate was invented.

Hana Jenkins said...

what IS that last one?! (besides a wreck of course)

Maybe that last one is a tribute to Outkast?:

"I know you like to think your sh*t don't stank

Hi Cake Wrecks,
I've been reading your blog for a long time, and thought that the fundraising you did before Christmas was amazing and inspiring. In the wake of the earthquake in Haiti, would you be up for calling on all of your readers to come together one more time? I know that organizations like the Red Cross and Partners in Health are accepting donations, among others.
Thanks for your consideration and for all of your hilarious posts!

Wolverine Girl said...

Yay a Wolverine wreck! They seem to be comparatively rare. I was going to say 'thin on the ground' but that could go all kinds of nasty places. Meanwhile, from this angle, poor Wolvie looks like he's fallen over. Maybe 2 dimensional Magneto (pretty sure that's him and not Sabes) has discovered Wolvie's Kryptonite - or is that Kraptonite? Actually that would explain why Magneto is looking kind of flat. Those are some massive piles!

Holy poop references! That's pretty impressive that you squeezed all those into one paragraph.

The first cake, at least I can make sense out of the piles of poo and what they're intended to be. The other cakes? No! No reason. Just piles of poo.

favoriteauntl said...

anyone know of any 'Walter the Farting Dog' cakes (based on the kids books? I'm sure the wreckerators got really creative for those. It came up today when my friend said her son asked for Walter on a cake.

Amanda said...

Question: is there any way that brown frosting could be used on a cake WITHOUT it looking like poo?

mn_me said...

okay, i just returned to look at "Beauty and the Feces" one more once (great pun by the way).

There doesn't appear to be any CAKE associated with either pile of frosting - rose or otherwise. I wanna know - who orders something like this?

@shikishinobi - the title "the #2 way to ruin a cake" wasn't a clue today's topic might be a poopy post? even the second or third sentence mentioned the word poo... seems like there was plenty warning if you wanted to skip it.

We bought our son the Wall-E cake for his 6th b-day. The poo piles were supposed to be the cute little blocks he makes of garbage and tire tracks. It looked like poop all over the cake. It was sooo funny but really terrible looking.

Jenn said...

My 3 year old explained it all. The Palm tree cake has grapes on it. The 2nd cake has a bridge on it. Wall-E and Eva were enough distraction, as was Wolverine. The last cake was she had to appeal to her 5 year old sister for help. The rose is apparently sitting next to a pile of pancakes.
