Ok, football "fans," get ready to cheer on your favorite team!
All together now!
All together now!
PACKARDS!
STELERS!
"PACK ATTAK!!"(Don't forget the air quotes.)
We Here 50 Go Steelers!!
GO PACK...uh...THING!!
Ok, confession time: I don't really care who wins this weekend. Heck, I had to google "Superbowl" just to figure out which teams were playing.
Fortunately, at least one bakery out there knows we don't all care about football, and is trying to pander accordingly:
SPARKLES!!
GREAT ABS!!Fingers crossed these get served at a Superbowl party this weekend. :D
Thanks to wreckporters Kate D., Julia T., Diane T., Jessica W., Amanda C., Sara N., & Amanda S., who I'm sure will agree that what we really need is a Picard vs Kirk cake-off. And Batman vs Superman. Vizzini vs Humperdinck? Oh! And Sauron vs Voldemort! Bakers? You listening?
The squished bumblebee did me in. You are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious that we need to form a company that goes around to bakeries and QC's the spelling and grammar on cakes BEFORE they go out. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI know it would put CW out of business, but I'm thinking edible photo paper should be mandatory. However, I wouldn't have such a nice selection on the mark-down rack.
ReplyDeleteAs a huge, Huge, HUGE fan of the game, all I can say is, "DIE HERETICS!!!!"
ReplyDeleteJust . . . so wrong.
And that Pack thing looks like a uterus.
wv: gondsoal -- what happens when one of these "teams" scores: "GONDSOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
Ya the squashed bumblebee made me giggle like a lunatic...while trying to keep my serious face on. It led to some straaaaange facial contortions. And I agree...a Picard/Kirk bake-off would be truly epic!
ReplyDelete~Jaclyn
Love the Twilight reference. I don't care who wins this weekend either I might just use that theme instead.
ReplyDeleteAs a diehard Packer fan, I have some cake "decorators" that have suddenly made me want to seek out their bakeries and tackle some cake - into the ground!!!
ReplyDeleteTeam Edward all the way!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSince the Packards kicked my Bears out of the playoffs, I hope the Stelers kick them out of the Super Bowl.
We NEED that Sauron v. Voldemort cake. All the others you mentioned, too, but definitely a Dark Lord Cake-Off.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I could care less about who is playing, let alone winning the "Super Bore", but a team of Packards might grab my attention!
ReplyDeleteDo you ever wonder about how many wrecks there are out there that don't get sent into you? What does this tell us about the state of our educational systems? Is cake decorating a safety net for those who "fall through the cracks"?
Very sad......but hilarious, nontheless! Squished bumblebee indeed!!!!!!!!
wv: etautes Etautes them to spell and write, but they didn't listen!
I'm a Packer fan and a friend of mine knows this. She, however, ALWAYS refers to them as the Packards. And not as a joke, she thought that's what they were until I explained that Packards were cars and the football team is the Packers, as in meat packers.
ReplyDeleteI seriously thought that the first Eclipse cake said "Team Coward".
ReplyDeleteI need to get my glasses checked. Or at least wear them when I'm reading.
I went to high school in Wisconsin with a guy whose last name was Packard. So clearly that cake was for his family's superbowl party. I have no explanation for any of the rest, except that maybe they were *trying* to be on here? Please, let it be on purpose so they can make fun of themselves.
ReplyDeleteWell, I thought it was Packards. This is why I need Cake Wrecks. I get all my popular cultural education here. Sometimes, my kids are really impressed with my depth of knowledge - when I just casually drop reference to a Dana Carvey skit. However, sometimes they are equally as impressed by my ignorance, when I don't get the wreckieness of the Parckard cake!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Vizzini, on the episode of Eureka we watched last night, one of the characters said, "They've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders: never go up against an Australian when DEATH is on the line!"
ReplyDeleteI giggled for 5 minutes while my fiance looked at me like I'd lost my marbles.
(I don't care about the Superbowl either, Jen)
Yay! I'm a football "fan."
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cake-off suggestions. Absolutely killer-diller.
ReplyDeletePakard??? sweet!
Is that green y thing supposed to be a goal post????
Am I the only one who thinks it is funny that the STELERS! cake is in Packers colors?
ReplyDeleteEveryone knows that Sauron would obliterate Lord Voldemort before he could yank out his wand! Still, I agree a dark lord cake-off is in order!
ReplyDeleteTranslation:
ReplyDeleteWe (the citizents,) Here (in Pittsburgh)
Go (to all) Steelers (games.)
Your welcome.
It takes a lot for me not to be able to control my laughter... this post had some real gems in it that made my coworkers give me strange looks. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGO PACKARDS!!!

The irony here is way too funny. OMG I can't stop laughing.
Really, who would put an actual football in a cake? Did they at least wash the football? LOL
ReplyDeletemark thuesen
Heh. The Stelers cake is actually in Green Bay's colors.
ReplyDeleteHee hee hee, Kirk vs Picard
ReplyDeleteTeam Kirk:
Kirk: "Bones. The. Cake. Has. To. Be. Bigger."
McCoy: Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a pastry chef"
Team Picard:
Picard: (very suave English accent)"Number 1, hand me the number 2 tip"
(somebody call Robot Chicken)
That first cake reminds me of a football eyeball or contact lens. lol
ReplyDeleteI love the "Packards" cake! I can just picture those big old cars lumbering onto the field.
ReplyDeleteWV: freak. No other commentary needed.
Kirk!
ReplyDeleteWhat?? Packards go. Well, at least they used to.
ReplyDeleteI was secretly liking the first cake till I saw they wanted a very fine vintage car to leave.
I'm still wondering what that 'thing' is. Anyone have a clue?
Poor wittle sqwuished bumblebee. (sic) Unless someone has a warped view of sports... there's no way that is a football. I'm thinking they re-designed the 'marshmallows in the center of a tube' cake!
"Oh, hey, this'll be fine -- just fill the hole with mounds of yellow icing -- they'll love it!"
Now I have to search till I find one of the Twilight cakes to take to my son's Super Bowl party. Just 'cause. Maybe both, so there can be a real party.
Who really cares about the football game? I watch for the commercials.
~~Di
wv - judgen -- c'mon.. way too easy. Judgen by these cakes we're all losers if we wanted something classy.
I recently ordered a super bowl cake for a huge shindig I'm a part of and I literally had nightmares last night about what was going to be on it. I'll be submitting it if it's worthy of the site. This particular bakery has never done me wrong but I just know with as busy as they should be this weekend, I'm going to be the one that ends up with the scary guy from the butcher department decorating my cake. If you don't hear from me Monday, Cleaver Joe did a good job....
ReplyDeleteHey, that green and yellow cupcake thing looks like Marvel's HYDRA uniform.
ReplyDelete...just sayin'. Uh, were we talking about footy or something?
gee, all those colours! I wanted to see Jacobs abs in CCC's.
ReplyDeleteOoooooh! I was in the grocery store yesterday and it was weirdly busy with lots of people in the drink and snack isle. I started to wonder if there was something happening soon that I was unaware of.
ReplyDeleteGuess it was the Superbowl. Hardy har.
I think the Packers Thing that looks like a uterus is a team Jersey. For an anemic anorexic football player... or maybe a fangirl?
ReplyDeleteGo Pack Go!
ReplyDeletePs. Love how the steelers cakes are both green and gold :)
Is that the equivalent of the Borat swimsuit in CC form?
ReplyDelete*shudders the BAD shudder*
Yeeeeahhhhh I am a huge fan of the Twilight books and films too!!!!
ReplyDeleteBut on to football, Wish there was a spell check function on cake designs... I'm Just Sayin'....
Have a great weekend!
BTW love your blog!!
Trevor,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for my typo. I acttually no how to spel "citizens," I jest dont tipe so good. But annyway, I'm glad I gave you a laught.
Sue
I don't understand why they make cakes and cccs for football games anyway. Here in Wisconsin, at least, anything that doesn't go with beer is noms non grata.
ReplyDeleteWhich leaves more cake for me. Ok, never mind, I get it now.
That poor squashed bumblebee...squashed the poo right out of it!
ReplyDeleteAll I could think is that Edward may have SPARKLES, but at least he doesn't have SPRINKLES...
ReplyDeleteThese vampires are doing weird things to my mind, man.
FYI, this will be the first time in over 40 years that the Super Bowl will be cheerleaderless, though apparently not cakeless. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOoo, Packards. Pause while I excitedly look for gorgeous 30s, 40s, 50s era mobile art, such as Figoni e Falaschi Talbots, Stutzes, Studebakers, Deusenbergs, Delahayes, and Jaguars. Nooooo! You mean it's football wrecks?! Way to crush a girl's spirit ::disappointed::
ReplyDelete::brightens:: But they are good wrecks to mock!
#1 Was a very nicely done cake, if not for the use of the wrong word. Must be a fan of the opposing team.
#2 *is* recognizable as a football...
#3 May I suggest, O Wreckerator, that you "pack" it in and look for an alternate career? Before you're attacked by rabid football fans?
#4 Should've just left it as "Go Steelers!". While the 50-yard line is all well and good, the goal to score a TD!
#5 ::mystified:: I have no clue what this is supposed to be. Other than a (patooie!) CCC
#6 You're right, it really does look more like a squashed bumblebee. Bakeries need to post pictures of that season's sports to help non-fan wreckerators know what they're supposed to be mimicking
#7 and #8 I think I like the football cakes better...
I do like your version of playoffs, though!
The person who made the "Packards" cake was obviously making this cake in anticipation of the opening of the movie "Cars 2" this summer.
ReplyDeleteKirk vs Picard I have to go with Picard, the hairstyle, the accent, Oh yeah, Picard
Batman vs. Superman I must go with Superman, although Batman has the better altar ego, but Clark did manage to marry Lois Lane while Bruce remains single.
I'm thinking we need an Emperor Palpatine vs the Borg Queen cake.
WV: fautwarg- I think I'll let you fill in this one, you are way more creative than I am.
GO SQUASHED BUMBLEBEE!!
ReplyDeletethe green bay ccc looks like a pair of lumpy siamese twins, wearing sashes.
meanwhile, what event inspired the Team Edward and Team Jacob cakes??? are they boxing? wrestling? are their fans duking it out? is it physical?is it a vampire board game? wtf?
I have to go with Voldemort... he's got so much more finesse than Sauron.
ReplyDeleteI must have too many small children. All I could see in the Packers CCC (patooie) was all the green frosting and imagining all the washing it would take to get that out of their clothing!
ReplyDeleteAnd also, LOL at the squashed bumblebee! :) Thumbs up on that one CW!
Why do the swirly things behind Jacob (to the left) look like boobs??
ReplyDeleteI just *love* that I read out loud "Here 50 We Go Steelers" just before I scrolled down to see you had written it. I think I'm an official Wreckie now.
ReplyDeleteGo (Hewlett) Packards. For the Win!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know who was playing until my hair appointment on Tuesday (apparently hairdressers are BIG football fans) - but best of all ManOfTheHouse had to ask ME who was playing.
ReplyDeleteNow I can tell him it's the squished bumblebees Versus the cupcake uteri... uteruses?
Ah! I took a picture of the Team Jacob cake at my grocery store back home to submit and I hadn't gotten to it yet, curses! Although theirs also had the unfortunate effect of their printer apparently running out of ink, so poor Jacob looked a LOT more pink and dreadful.
ReplyDeleteGreat, as always!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know the fight song of the Squished Bumblebees!
:::sings:::
I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee . . .
A Picard/Kirk cake competition? Cool! Rounded tummy cakes vs. bald head cakes -- a true opportunity for both Sunday Sweet-worthy artists and wreckerators.
Make it so!
wv - Changs.
Isn't that Christopher Plummer's family?

Biting, of course!
wv - psiono.
"Psi! O, no!" she cried out, as the vampire Greek letter attacked.
Poor squashed bumblebee!
ReplyDeleteWow, this was definitely a day that I had a very hard time stifling my laughter!
ReplyDeleteThat first cake is just too creepy for me. Looks like the football is trying to push its way out of some orifice or another. Not very appetizing AT ALL!
wv: awshint (that's what the customer says when they see what the Wreckerator did)
I could go for a Perry vs Doofenschmirtz cake!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person who ordered that first cake is just really into old cars...
ReplyDeletePicard vs Kirk... Sauron vs Voldemort... This blog always appeals to my inner geek so much.
ReplyDeleteI snickered at the Go Packards, but I LOL'd IRL when I saw the Go Stelers! cake adorned with the Packers team colors.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I laughed even harder when I realized the first cake was Go Packards, because I thought it said Go Packhards. My mind must be in the cake gutter. Or perhaps I'm just too excited to see my beloved Packers deliver an epic beatdown on Sunday!
Those Twilight cakes are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one who doesn't give a rat's a$$ about the game!
ReplyDelete"Pack Attack" really is something us Packer Fans call the Packers and how they play, so that cake is not TOO horrible... but the others just made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteBesides the misspelled "Packards" it took me a sec to catch the attempt at green/gold Packers colors--they used a pastel, mint green and a "dead mustard" shade of gold. But then did the writing in the correct shade of dark green! This decorator scares me.
ReplyDeleteI thought it said "Team Coward" too.
ReplyDeleteSquashed Bumblebee! That's my new team mascot.
Even Twilight cakes look crappy. Sweet. XD
ReplyDeleteAt least the first cake got the snow part correct!
ReplyDeleteActually, wouldn't the appropriate team names for the Twilight movies be "Necrophiles" and "Furries"? *evil grin*
ReplyDeleteAs I am not a football fan, all I can do is objectively laugh at the wreckage. Hehehehehehe
ReplyDeleteVizzini vs. Humperdink has my full support!
ReplyDeleteBut Vizzini doesn't even make it through the whole film. Doesn't even plan to do any killing himself. Humperdinck at least tries to kill Wesley and intends to kill Buttercup. OTOH, a Vizzini cake could be covered in "Inconceivable!"
ReplyDeleteI say "Cake Wrecks" versus "Awkward Family Photos" battle.
Cake #1: Realistic looking football; creepy looking "alien birth".
ReplyDeleteCake #2: "Steler" wreck, Mr. Bakerman.
Cake #4 "We Here 50 G0 Steelers": reminds me of the now infamous, quote worthy "OH, Here Come Hell Go!" exclamation by Calvin Tran of "The Fashion Show", as seen on "The Soup":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax4IUgMq0Aw
Cake#6: @Mladybright: I love your reference to the ridiculous Hanukkah cake from Sandra Lee. "Squashed Bumblebee": soooo funny, Jen! You made me laugh out loud, as usual.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqvg0C90FhM
ReplyDeletehere's one for team jacob and his "bazilion abs"! love to all!
-Blythe
Lol would have that Edward cake if not for the horrid edible paper. Sorry but that ruined it for me. Now if only they had put sprinkles I might be convinced.
ReplyDelete#5- dear lord what is that thing??
ReplyDelete(I vote for a Firefly/Castle bake off. WOOT)
-Barbara Anne
P.S. @Reverend Ref+ "a uterus?" LMAO!!!
wv: milishes
when I see some of these cakes I feel a little milishes towards those wreckerators.
it hurts that you didn't spell super bowl correctly :(
ReplyDeleteI think the cupcake tumor is supposed to be a jersey? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteGo Packards! Are they playing the Studebakers? That makes me think of the "car soccer" match (or football in the UK) that was featured on an episode of Top Gear.
ReplyDeleteDoes it really take that much time to spell check a cake? My guess is that they probably have no idea for the correct spelling anyway.
ReplyDeletemark thuesen
I love that the "Stelers" cake is not just spelled wrong, but also appears to be green and gold!
ReplyDeleteThe first cake looks like the football is "crowning" as in.. is being birthed vaginally!
ReplyDeleteAh, bit lost on me, I'm in the UK so had no idea it WAS the superbowl this weekend, and still think you're talking about AMERICAN football, if it's just football it doesn't involve a ball that shape :-D
ReplyDeleteI suspect the "Stelers" cake wasn't in Green Bay colours as much as supposed to be on a football field with green grass and yellow line markings.
ReplyDeleteHow about Luke Skywalker vs Inigo Montoya? The werewolf from Twilight vs Capt (she got promoted) Angua? Dirty Harry vs Sam Vimes?
I know who I'm rooting for.
ReplyDeleteGO SQUASHED BUMBLEBEE!!
The first thing I thought when I saw Packard was Hewlett-Packard...*pushes glasses back onto nose and giggles*
ReplyDeleteI love the Kirk/Picard bake-off! That would be amazing!
The Pack...uh...thing CCC patooey takes me right back to the 80s and the various weddings I attended. Dear me, the torture that bridesmaids went through! Just imagine it in taffeta with a matching puffy froufrou skirt :) Oh and apparently the Packuhthings are from Greanbag.
ReplyDeleteWV: saulne - Misspelling found on a Team Sauron cake
Please, please, PLEASE have a Kirk vs Picard cake-off Superbowl! I think that's the best idea I've ever seen on this blog.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love the random packers one that's just a blob.
ReplyDeleteI am going to go buy a Twilight Saga cake just so I can serve it at my Superbowl party tomorrow. Thanks for the great idea, I've been wondering what to serve!
ReplyDeleteThe best part about the GO PACKARDS cake display was most cakes were spelled "Packards" while a few were also spelled "Pacards," yet the big sign said "Packers." It was an exciting discovery.
ReplyDeleteI wanna eat those yummy fondant cake. I remember myself before craving to make that kind of cake before. I hurriedly find recipes for it. For the beginners who loves to make Fondant cake and icing on their, here is a sure way recipe for you. See - http://jessicabyrne.com/let%E2%80%99s-start-making-yummy-and-delicious-fondant-icing.html
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
My vote goes to Voldemort. Sauron is great and all, but since he transformed from a...whatever the hell he was into a giant eye, he's hardly as intimidating on his own.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for a "Spike vs Angel" cake myself.
ReplyDeleteam I the only one that thought the team edward cake read "team coward" at first glance?
ReplyDelete
