A-ha! I Fixed It!

No one will ever know.



Perfect!


Boy, that was close. Can you imagine if the dad had gotten suspicious?


The good news: we got all the squirrel footprints off.

The bad news: we're gonna have to charge you extra. (Mr. Nutters is a real pain to bathe.)


See? I told you it wasn't "Baby Phower."


So appetizing, next time you'll be asking us to mess up on purpose.



Discount? Why would there be a discount? Why, this cake could work for ANY occasion that involves graduating in 2010.



Because nothing says "Baby Shower" quite like "BABY Baby Shower."
Period.


Many thanks to Erica H., Inigo M., Carol S., Amy Lee, Peter V., Milly I, Catherine A., Frosty, Allie J., Stephanie G., Albus D., and BABY period.

    "The moistest cake you've ever tasted!" just turns me off. I think it's because of the word moist. No matter how moist a cake is, I still don't want the word moist to describe it. I'm probably just weird like that though.

    "See? I told you it wasn't "Baby Phower"--Is anyone else disturbed by the curly pink ribbon "noose" on the baby shower cake?

    The 'Baby Baby Shower' cake isn't actually awful in my opinion; the white icing under the first 'Baby' almost looks planned. Still, I can't say I'd be pleased with it...

    Also, I love the crossed out names at the end. Pretty sure I spotted 'Princess Bride', 'Ghostbusters' and 'Harry Potter' references there. Nice :)

    What puzzles me is why someone would just put "baby shower" on a cake anyway. Do people not realize they are AT a baby shower? Inquiring minds want to know!

    I like the little ribbon noose on the 5th cake. 'Cause nothing says "Baby Shower" like a lynching, right?

    Looks like the squirrel rolled around on that graduation cake.

    (Note to self: Do not read Cake Wrecks until the two bulging disks in my spine are back in place. Laughing is painful. Squirrel footprints are too funny.)

    Baby Period...

    I thought it was when your *period* goes missing, that's how you know you may be expecting a Baby.

    These cakes would fit in just great with the "repairs" on There, I Fixed It!

    It's a plastic stork that is on the clouds on the baby shower cakes....and the white banner that says BABY is part of the design though the word BABY on there twice is too much....

    And the first cake is a Cinco de Mayo cake without the writing. The cake is supposed to look like that, kinda, just poor execution....

    I think it's funny that I know these cake designs...and can recognize how badly they were done....lol!

    Whenever I see "baby" repeated, my mind instantly goes here:

    You know... the price label on cake #7 is actually right. It is only "1/2 decorated". I don't think I'd pay that much for it, tho.

    The skull & crossbones flotsam really do go nicely with the pink poo lines.

    Now I am really worried. The snow on my roof is covered with squirrel footprints. (It's a long story; my roof and oak tree are part of a giant Disney ride for the neighborhood squirrels.) Does this mean I will soon have tons of bright blue icing on my roof?

    #1 Let's see... the cake is sealed inside approximately three times its own weight in frosting, so I suppose it could well be the 'moistest' cake ever.

    #2 (Applies to most of these, really...) If you wreck a wreck, do you get a normal cake? Apparently not.

    #3 "Hey, Sue -- Melissa just called again -- it's 'Alex' for sure." Sue: "I'll make sure no one can tell there was a change. Heh heh."

    #4 Art is knowing when to stop making improvements. "'Congrats' looked fine when it was centered, honest!"

    #5 Was originally 'Baby Chower' perhaps? Not proceeding one inch further down that line of inquiry.

    #6 Manager: "You messed it up, you fix it." Wreckerator: "Ok, I'll fix it. By the way, this is my last day..."

    #7 'Congratulation(s)...!' Who could tell anything had changed? Nice to know subtlety is not dead.

    #8 "What?! I thought they had finally decided on 'Hortense'! If I just put a slab of fondant over it, everyone will know there was a boo-boo. I know -- just write 'Baby' over it! Just like correcting a typo. I deserve a raise for this kind of fast thinking."

    Fondant, AKA 'edible (?) correction tape.

    Regarding BABY Baby shower, what is that on the bottom? I think the blobs on the left are an albino butterfly, or some sort of snow moth. But what is the other thing? A kiwi catching a baseball? I've blown the photo up and still can't get a handle on it.

    I was wondering what the flower-looking thing was too. I really had to look to figure it out....it's a stork (no, not kidding). It's just a bad angle for both cakes.

    I've never understood why baby shower cakes say "baby shower" on them. It's not like people (well, most people anyway) write "birthday party" on birthday cakes.

    Hahaha! Great post.

    I actually gasped at the valentine one. I mean, really. The wreckerator couldn't throw a little icing on top to cover up the gouges? Is this a frozen cake? How do you even get gouges in icing?

    I also love the stray exclamation point on the graduation cake. And, if you are going to "fix" the cake anyway, why not go ahead and take off the 2010? And again with the gouging....perhaps it is a symbolic reference to how much these wrecks cost!

    Oh, and the Baby Shower with a noose cake - I thought the original writing might have been Flower. Baby Flower - which made me think of Flower the skunk from Bambi. Which might explain the pink ribbon noose. Someone has a skunk problem at home and thought they would put out a cake to entice the critter and catch it in the noose. Or not.

    Ah! I skipped the names at the bottom today! I had to go back and read them after seeing the comments. I should know better by now. :o)

    On that second to last cake, "Congratulations," I originally thought the 2010 spelled out Zoro.

    And the graduation cap reminded me of the hat with dingle-balls as seen in "Zorro the Gay Blade."

    And trying to figure out if maybe this was a coming out party . . .

    On the first one I see an Egyptian hieroglyphics-type eye in the bottom left corner and nothing’s as freaky as food looking at me looking at it. o.O

    On the pink one I saw the ribbon rope on the bottom and thought “yuck” but didn’t notice the sperm/noose in the bottom right corner. Sperm/Noose – doesn’t that just about sum it up for how some men get trapped into a relationship??

    Maybe the Baby Baby Shower is for a very young mother, you know, babies having babies. That's a cheery thought.

    So I know the graduation cake. Back in April or May, the Springville High School had their graduation. I remember that cake. The customer didn't want it (surprise!) so the name got scraped off and the cake tossed in the case in the hopes that some desperate mother would buy it last minute. I almost died laughing when I saw the picture on this site, I told the decorator who made the cake that she was famous, or rather, that her cake was famous. She wasn't as amused as the rest of us were.
