Wedding Day Jitterbugs

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Uh, guys? Somebody might want to call an exterminator.

Why?

Well, you know those "crawfish" on the wedding cake?

(Photo taken down at the request of the baker. Please enjoy this lovely photo of Epcot.)

Yeeeah. They're looking a bit more like cockroaches.


Amanda L., those cockroaches look a lot more like cockroaches than any other cockroaches I have ever seen.

Who would want bugs on their cake? That is disgusting.

ummm.... those don't look like cockroaches to ME.... well maybe the first part of the word... plus hairy... eeek

That's what you get for ordering a wedding cake from an erotic bakery.

And let's call a spade a spade here. Those aren't crawfish.

They look like they belong on a groom's cake, if you know what I mean.

roballen said...

Why would anyone have crawfish on their wedding cake? Even if they didn't look like cockroaches.

They look a bit phallic to me - phallic-stabbed-with-a-fork-looking. Why did your usually guttery mind not pick up on this?

Meagan said...

hahaha right...cockroaches...yep, that's what I see, too!

Anonymous said...

I, too, thought they looked a bit phallic. I saw it and immediately thought "OMG there's PEN1$ES on that cake!!" LOL!

Stephanie said...

I'm all for originality, but this is just gross. Plus half the legs aren't even attached. And as some have mentioned, they don't exactly look like cockroaches either...
Going to find some brain bleach now...

Brandi said...

I, too, thought they looked a bit phallic. Upon first glance, I thought "GROOMS CAKE!!!"

Wild Cakes said...

oh boy... another Epcot already and the post has only been up for 12 minutes!

roballen... why do you think Jen called them COCKroaches?

Lauren Borquez said...

Gross gross gross buggy friend!

Michelle P said...

Really?? With comments like these: "those cockroaches look a lot more like cockroaches than any other cockroaches I have ever seen" some doubt that you picked up on the visual???
I appreciate your subtle clues, Jen!

Anonymous said...

Agreed with all the post-ers who said phallic.

Geez. They are centipenises, with their multiple appendages. Yikes.

Auntie Meme said...

I looks like they used the cookie cutter featured a few weeks' back. If I were the bride, I'd reconsider.

Amanda | Glittericity said...

Yikes! 'cock' roaches indeed!

Etiquette Bitch said...

they also look like Obscene Cockroaches, if you know what I mean...

Kait W. said...

@roballen - I thought she did, by calling them cockroaches. ;)

jcsmot said...

I agree another poster....those don't look like cockROACHES to me either....Quite phallic!! LOL!!

Terry Lee said...

reminds me of the space shuttle cake. with legs.

cockroaches, indeed.

Hello...
those are no crawfish-
that cake is naughty!!!

Kirstan said...

my thoughts exactly, they don't look cockroaches, just a weird looking part of a male's anatomy.

Lorraine said...

Let me get this straight. This is a WEDDING cake? Ummm, yeah. Okay then.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the rest...the first thing I saw was a phallic symbol.

Kirstan said...

They don't look like cockroaches, but do look like a weird part of the male's anatomy.....

I'm with the others that see something else in those "crawfish." Just glad that I'm not the only one who thinks that.

Glad to see that everyone else was thinking what I was thinking!

C'mon, those hairy wotsits aren't cockroaches or crayfish - eeeyuk!!!!

I think they look kind of like diseased, or maybe bloody, male genitalia. Yikes.

I'm glad you clarified that for me, because I was totally weirded out by the hair growth. ;)

I love how punny you are. We quote you late into the night, Jen.

Wow... that cake really puts the (Anatomical reference) into (Anatomical reference)roach.

Miranda said...

They look like COCKroaches, indeed. Bet they're just having a BALL on that cake.

EWWWWW EWWW no thanks, I don't want any!

those are not COCKroaches lmao who the heck wants that on their wedding cake?

Umm..yeah, I agree with a previous poster. Those cockroaches look like something a bit more private..

Love the puns, Jen, even though it looks like many didn't get the hint ;-)

Tiffany in Topeka said...

Love Anna's Beavis and Butthead reference. :) That's what I heard when I read it.....

I also wonder if they are made of cardboard.... and why are they RED??!? GROSS!!!

(oh ya, they're supposed to be crawfish... riiiggghhttt...)

Amy Pinney said...

Cockroaches weren't my first thought.... I was thinking more along the lines of genitalia with legs. Grooooosssssss.............

Um, eew.

Trevor said...

Wow! That's just amazing... and not in a good way.

Rebecca F. said...

Oh my.

I would guess that this cake originated in the South. Louisiana maybe?....

And Roballen, you totally missed the joke.....

I too appreciate the subtleties Jen and often can't wait to read all the comments. I hope they make you laugh and don't make you bang your head on the wall. Repeatedly.

And, come on Lily, "centipenises"??? Hilarious!

Sarah Z. said...

I've never noticed how much crawfish resemble bloody diseased male genitalia. After eating that cake I bet they had a ball of a wedding night.

Anonymous said...

I get the cockroach reference, but I don't get what the wedding couple was *really* going for. Was it really crawfish? I've never heard of that.

Kath' Aama said...

Yes, that does look like penises being attacked by apostrophes (or sperm). So many puns,...

sclaire said...

We can all agree those don't look like bugs....but my question is, who would even WANT bugs (crawfish...potato,potahto) on their wedding cake in the first place? If I was a decorator I might not be able to resist having some fun with that......

yuck that looks more like the first part of 'cockroarches'..except yucky and hairy!!!!

VanDyks said...

I'm glad Epcot-gate happened before this post, otherwise this post would be the standard by which all future "but I didn't get it!" comments would be measured. And I'm sorry, but cockroach-gate just doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Epcot-gate. ;)

Seriously though, if that were my wedding cake, I'd think I would be encouraged to leave the reception with my new husband, take him to the nearest clinic, and run some blood tests to check for, er, "abnormalities." You know, just to sure the universe wasn't sending me some sort of sign.

Cockroaches. Actually that's EXACTLY what they are. *snicker*

The fact that they look like cockroaches is only half the problem. The question still remains: Lobsters? On a wedding cake??

Cockroaches? Crawfish? They look more like Epcot to me.

Given this baker's arthropod identification skills, I'm not accepting any invitations to her/his house for crawfish etouffee.

Anna Claire said...

Jen how do you stand it?? It's driving me nuts just reading all the commenters who didn't get your funny COCKroach reference, or who got it but didn't realize you wrote the pun on purpose. Aaaaaahhhh!

jj said...

Today is the first time I ever thought of "cockroach" as a compound word. Part this, part that-- and the two parts together mean eternal love, no doubt about it. Turns out that a severed toe or a dead deer have nothing on this.

*wipes away tears*

Culinarychiq said...

I haven't read through all the comments (so please don't go Epcot on me;) but on first glance I'm thinking that is one HELL of a fertility symbol! All those cockroaches look more like penises with legs (or maybe I just need a cold shower LOL):-P

PS oddly enough my word verification is "cemen" ROFLMAO

I'm a little concerned these look a little more like radioactive male genetalia!!

Sarah said...

Wow! I've read your blog start to finish more than once ... and I think this is the yuckiest cake of all. I mean, some of the other penis & poo cakes were pretty gross, but this one is the worst because there is the greatest discrepancy between how beautiful it should be and how obscene it is...

MaidM said...

Out of curiosity, Jen, is it definite that the same bakery that did the rather nice if nothing extraordinary cake added the cockfish, I mean crawfish? Looks like those were added afterwards by a rather less professional hand... (unless the bride had a frenemy in attendance with a couple of clandestine tubes of red gel icing)

Jen - is there any way you could rearrange the comments section, so that people have to scroll to the bottom before posting? (For example, see Pioneer Woman's site). That would mean that users would at least have to scroll past the comments...and maybe - just maybe - the occasional commenter would notice that everyone else has said the same thing they're thinking about saying?

That said, I suppose maybe comments from 'special snowflakes' are still comments, and good for the site - just not good for your sanity. :-)

How could you miss that? I am so smart and observant, and you are not." People, Jen knows what she's doing. And for those that don't realize, "COCKroaches" is a play on words!




And that thing is Epcot Center. I don't know what this "Spaceship Earth" thing is that you're talking about. ;)

Not to bug you, but your tweet saying you had replaced a cake photo with one of "Epcot" let me know which one you meant before I even got here to check. Oh balls! Maybe next time....

Anonymous said...

Oh, and people really should scan the comments before posting their own. If you're trying to be clever, it's best to make sure someone hasn't already said your clever thing.

Especially if Jen in the original post is the person who said such clever thing... I saw the cake yesterday, but didn't come to the comments until I saw the Epcot today. Good grief. If you don't get the humor why are you here?

PS. I think the pic looks more like Spaceship Earth than Epcot, don't you? No, just Epcot. OK.

Mary said...

Oh it's the Spaceship Earth vs. Epcot thing again! lol

The photo is of Spaceship Earth. It is the icon of Epcot (fyi other readers, it hasn't been known as EPCOT Center in years). When people look at pictures of Spaceship Earth, they immediately associate it with Epcot, which is its intention...much like when people see Cinderella Castle, they associate it with the Magic Kingdom. Or the Tree of Life with Animal Kingdom, the Sorcerer's Hat with Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM). Most guests will look at those icons and identify it with the park, not necessarily the name of the icon itself. When my husband and I vacation at WDW and we take a picture in front of Spaceship Earth, we'll say "this is us in Epcot" because people are WAY more familiar with that.

Anyway, just a bit of info on why Jen's Epcot captioning makes sense...from a former cast member. :)

And as an added thing...if I was a baker (which you do NOT want to see), I'd actually be proud to have one of my wrecks on here!! :) Of course, I'd probably be just as happy seeing a Disney picture replace my horrible skills as well since I'm such a Disney nut. lol

Ah, bummer--instead of tiny phalluses, I get big balls. That's what I get for showing up late.

Looks like some of the cakes are wedding cakes.

No! No!!! I ran a search for cockroach cake and now I'm gunna hurl for sure. I'm not squeamish but I never, ever want to see that page of images again. Those cakes make a real cockroach look like a gourmet appetizer.

"Anyway, just a bit of info on why Jen's Epcot captioning makes sense...from a former cast member. :)"

Oh good grief. <>

Taking some issue, there, anonymous? Relax and enjoy life a bit. You'll be MUCH happier. :)

I can't blame the baker for wanting it removed! They looked more like sunburnt and grilled man kabobs then craw fish. ;)

I freaking LOVE Epcot!!

The baker's name isn't mentioned or anything, so it's ridiculous that they can just get their wreck taken off the site.

Pretty sure that's Spaceship Earth, Jen. Sorry.
(Yes, I get it.)

So, there isn't a link that would could use to see the picture? Not even at the baker's website?
Booo for those of us that missed it. :(

Must be a terrible day for them.

When will wreckerators learn... asking for removal creates more interest. Luckily for us, someone copied the photo :D (and linked it back to Cake Wrecks)

Just when I thought I'd missed my chance to see COCKroaches and would have to just settle for one big BALL (gee, I really resent it when real life gets in the way of my Cake Wreck entertainment), special thanks to Tan for posting a link to the original image so I could see what all the giggles had been about!

WV: "brachos" - yummy cheesy snacks served from a woman's undergarment (knock it 'till you've tried it, folks!)

I've seen the pic before, but it's a little disappointing that they took it down.

I know the baker wanted it down, but if you're making cakes like that one... well, it should only be expected that people will poke a little fun at it.

This cake is LOL inducing. I love it for that.

Who else thinks it looks a bit like a cluster of bloody penises?

I mean, the penis idea is down. :P Anyone else see the resemblance as far as bloody goes?

BTW: I'm just saying to all the people telling others to read the comments...

Not all of us feel like reading 220 comments. D: I mean, I scan them, but no need to get annoyed because someone said something before.
Yeesh. o__o

Cheers to Jen for having the class to remove an image at the request of the baker. Jeers to the baker for asking her too.
