The MEGAWIZARDDRAGONANIMEBABECON: Make It So.
Thanks to Kimberly C., Theresa, Jaclyn C., Talia B., River W., Barb I., Kelli G., Teresa M., Lucy V., Missy B., & Clau...
And a happy belated briday to the Shat.
Oh, and now that I've got you all pumped for a con, I should note that there really *is* a scifi convention in Orlando this weekend, and John and I are totally going. See you there, fellow Florida geeks!
We're taking my 13-year-old son and three of his friends for his birthday party. My son made his own costume and parts of the ones his friends will be wearing. They'll be dressed as a group they made up. So, if you happen to see four youngish teens wandering around together dressed in home-made costumes you don't recognize, you could say, "Happy Birthday, Malcolm!"
Shatner FTW! (Although nothing can beat his rendition of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"!)
My daughter and I have been to enough cons that I can say, there is no exaggeration in this advertisement. That is exactly what they are like, both in advertising and in reality...
Thank you for sharing that William Shatner bit. I will never forget it. (And will likely waste much time at work today making everyone I know watch it!)
Oh, wrecked geekery. My three year old daughter is currently running around in a Hellboy mask brandishing a lightsaber at the cats, so these posts are always a family favorite.
I don't know why... but the inner voice that read the commentary was the "MONSTER TRUCK MANIA!!!!!" Announcer. Which brought the hilarity to a whole 'nother level! Have fun at the con and I look forward to pictures on "the other blog."
I think all these wreckerators were high [long inhaling puff] as a kite! I think it's gonna be a long, long time before we see a decent cake.
Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit.
The Disney Princess cake should have been delivered to the Drag Festival (the one that has nothing to do with fast cars) because there's no way those are chicks.
I don't think that's Val Kilmer's Batman, but it does look a bit like Adam West, the original Batman and current Mayor of Quahog.
The bad Buzz Lightyear attempt doesn't look much like The Shat to me, but any excuse to post the Rocket Man video is okay by me! Come on, Bill, quit bogarding that thing and pass it around. I actually remember watching that broadcast when I was a kid and long before "WTF" became a thing, I was thinking it! Even then, I thought the effects were uber cheesy, especially when the Transporter malfunctions and his right arm temporarily gets beamed away.
Oh, and get ready for backlash from Muskogeegans. Muskogeeans. Muskogogeeites. People from Muskogee.
WV: lyclopma A rare disease that causes severe deformity of the head such as that suffered by Captain Picard.
Embarassingly AWESOME! I actually saw Lou Ferrigno last year at Wonder Con. He was across the aisle from the Bionic Woman and Tasha Yarr. No Hulk costume.
And I found a copy of the William Shatner CD with the classic Mr. Tambourine Man.
The flier left off an appearance by Mark Douglas in "Wolverine: The Musical" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIJvECLL5NY (I haven't got the hang of embedding links.) No doubt the Wolverine cake celebrates his performance.
I thought it said "BaCon" - now Bass Pro Shops would sponsor that!
Since Batman got a little soft around the middle, the Joker, Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, and Cat Woman continue to wreak havoc on Gotham City.
This post was great! I, too, used the monster-truck-rally-announcer-voice while reading this. Looking forward to the sweets this SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!
The Disney princess cake reminds me of the time my husband and I were watching a Monty Python sketch with our young daughter. It was her first time to see men in drag, and she innocently asked why the "girls" looked like boys! Grown-up laughter ensued...good times...
Are Leia and Spock on a flan "cake"? The Star Wars and Star Trek universes battle it out in wedded bliss atop a tasty Mexican dessert, my mind is officially blown.
I haven't posted before, but this post is killing me. Not that everything wasn't awesome(I mean, Shatner? Come on!), but that simpering 1st Hulk still has me in tears. I laughed so hard, my coworker in the cubicle across from me is convinced I've lost my mind, again. Thank you for all this spectacle on such a grim day!
@SuBee: I wasn't until the very end and he grinned, like he was thinking, "I can't believe all these people took this so seriously." And even if he wasn't then, he has been known to self-mock more recently.
WV: eches. Shatner's spoken-word Rocket Man eches itself on your memory.
Love the whole post today, but I keep getting stopped at the Picard wedding? cake. Is kissing 'The Picard' some new tradition at weddings? Is the happy couple in search of the captain's blessing on their marriage? Intriguing as those ideas are, I still don't think I'd be willing to hack into any part of him after all the cake pics had been taken. Jus' sayin'.
Thanks as always for the laughs. Once again, you've made my day.
I wonder if Hugh Jackman has seen that Wolverine cake. *shudder*
And please, please tell me that that sword picture was not supposed to be the inspiration for the cake that followed. Heck, a 5-yr-old could do better!
And I'm totally digging the big blob of white frosting underneath Leia and Spock! lol! I mean, seriously? They couldn't have used just a bit less frosting?
Doesn't quite sound like my kind of convention. Totally wishing that I lived in FL right now, though! I hope we see pics on epbot of the real con! :-)
ROFL I had forgotten exactly how terrible that video was. My dad showed it to me way back when I was a wee one and I didn't get it. Now I understand the word "interpreted" so much better.
And Bats looks like he should stop trying to blend in with the Penguin's hench...pens. Hee.
I always pictured Kirk and Spock on top of a cake, not Leah. This is just proof that even Superheros aren't immune to a bad frosting gun. P.S., when did Batman gain all that weight?
Oh, I *wish* this had been a post LAST WEEK, as last weekend was my annual SFF convention / weekend of geekdom! Fear not, I'm forwarding, but it would have been a hoot during many discussions! Thank, Cake Wrecks, as usual, you're amazing!
WV - dechancr: What is dechancr the princesses are actually female?
Sorry, I know there are lots of Shat fans out there, but I could only get through 1/2 of the video clip... when not cringing in horror, I kept wondering what brand of cigarette he was using to generate such huge plumes of smoke...
Wow. I don't know if I should be honored or horrified!
My friend just told me to check out Cake Wrecks. Spock and Leia are from our wedding and it is was our groom's cheese"cake". I have no clue how this picture got out. I got the figurines as a special inside joke for my husband. He's the Star Trek fan, I'm the Star Wars fan, and I know ... never the twain shall meet. But we did. And got married in spite of it. ;)
I love the tag line. And everyone's comments.
@Classic Steve - Spock is bigger than Leia because it was hard to find two action figures of the same height in 30 days. lol.
@pikkewyntjie "Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit. " lol. Um. NO.
@Jen "Spock and Leia! WHAT? That doesn't even go together." EXACTLY. Love conquers all. :)
@Laura P. "And I'm totally digging the big blob of white frosting underneath Leia and Spock! lol! I mean, seriously? They couldn't have used just a bit less frosting?" Ouch. Well, I guess it would have looked less odd if I hadn't just picked up a normal cheesecake and "wrecked" it for true love.
@pdxnico "Are Leia and Spock on a flan "cake"? The Star Wars and Star Trek universes battle it out in wedded bliss atop a tasty Mexican dessert, my mind is officially blown." haha. Outside of the Flan, that's exactly it.
Ok, folks, I'm done. :) Live long and ... may the Force be with you?
Post today was perfect. Mid-South Con is this weekend too. So we're all geared up for that here in Memphis. Perfect theme today, amd as always, funnier than "poop" to my 7 and 3 yr old boys.
I'm just wondering why you're picking on Muskogee. Not that it doesn't deserve it (especially love the Bass Pro Shops/Fashion Bug sponsor0, but it seems very random.
omgn! that video almost made me pee my pants. i have never seen that. that alone was the laugh of the day but i look forward to your website every day for great laughs. thanks for cheering me every day!
As Andrea B's former roommate, I will say that I did freak out when she showed them to me. We threatened to find Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines to stand menacingly by the cake and threaten Spock, but we just didn't have enough time...
Aww, we're not picking on Muskogee. Jen asked me for the name of an out-of-the-way place and I thought of Muskogee. It just sort of popped into my mind. We added the county because it sounded even more remote. That said, you have to admit it would be awesome if this convention came to Muskogee.
Interesting note: I say "Muskogee" with a distinctly Canadian accent.
True story, and i don't know if anybody's said this yet since I don't like to delve into the comments too much, but there is a (pretty bad) cartoon movie called "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" that William Shatner recorded the theme song for. It's called "To Infinity and Beyond" and it's HORRIBLE.
the wolverine was actually made by me. It started out being for my sons birthday party, the early stage of my cake decorating career. After it turned into a "Buff Freddy Mercury with a bad hairdo" i scrapped it. Still glad that it is appreciated for its pros and cons
So funny ..I baked a cake for St. Paddy's Day and instantly thought of this site!
Why, you ask? Every time I bake, something goes horribly wrong and I inevitably think of you. Everything was going great for this cake, I had managed to color it TWO shades of green ..all my boyfriend had to do was get the cake out of the pan.
I know. Why did I even let him near it? Moral of the story -It was a one layer bundt cake in the beginning. It was most certainly two by the time he had helped me. http://halfpastwonderful.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-saint-patricks-day.html
I don't remember the cakes . . . why were people not laughing uproariously during Shatner's performance? Thanks so much for the video. Best wreck ever.
For a minute, I hoped that the first line actually meant you were going to be in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Alas, it seems that you, like so many others, only picked my home town because it sounds funny and/or is in an old country song.
For the record, 99% of Muskogee County residents hate that song. How about next time you try an even funnier Oklahoma place-name? We have a Potawatamie, Okfuskee, Lotawata, and even a Hooker, OK. Or you could always try getting over the depression-era stereotypes.
@ Jenna - I've actually never heard a song with the name Muskogee in it. You're right: I just thought it was a funny name. Which seemed appropriate for, you know, a humor blog. ;)
I also had no idea there was a depression-era stereotype that Muskogee residents enjoyed scifi conventions. What are the odds?
Anyway, thanks for the other name suggestions - I'll file those away for future reference. (I especially like Potawatamie.)
Ok. My Dad was born in Muskogee. People say I get my sense of humor from him. Note the phrase, 'sense of humor'. I always bring that with me when I visit Cake Wrecks, because Cake Wrecks is a *humor* blog. It isn't a formal information resource like Wikipedia (is for some people, but not John (thoJ), who has learned his lesson, one hopes).
Know what I think of songs, blogs, etc. sending up Muskogee? It reminds me of the funny stories my Dad used to tell about his hometown, and I smile.
Smiling helps me see the lighter side and helps me avoid ascribing evil intent to every utterance by others -- there is more than enough real evil in the world that I don't have to go around fabricating still more.
By the way, I haven't had time to check the Exhaustive Encyclopedia of Games (unabridged version, by Edmund Welles), but those dice might be wrong. Just thought you should know.
My wife and I decorated ...errr... desecrated a very nice chocolate cake in honor of the Shat's birthday. I put "Bill- Happy 80rd B-Day" in horrible writing and she put pretty pretty flowers on it. The cake tastes good and the icing is pure sugar so that's all good too.
Oh my goodness they made Wolverine look..so hmm can't find the words for it lol. And why does the Hulk look like Oscar the Grouch on steroids? What on earth is going on here.. other than horrible wrecks that is.
No comments yet on the Silk Spectre/Comedian cake topper? It seems like a really roundabout way of telling your significant other you want a restraining order. Or that s/he should get one.
That is CLEARLY not Picard - it's Voldemort in his Quirrell-head incarnation...and Wolverine has undergone his secondary mutation into Lobsterine, with the added power of being able to fit an orange up each nostril. WV - brasele - those Disney 'princesses' probably got fake-padded braseles.
The Picard cake really wasn't that bad... except his nose. That was WAY too big. The Wolverine one was actually quite funny, and I'm glad the designer also has a great sense of humor.
Muskogee. Heh. The derogatory song in question would be "Okie from Muskogee" (I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, a place where even squares can have a ball"). It was popular in the very early 70's, about when I started college at OU. Many of my classmates, not to mention my favorite philosophy teacher, could readily refute the opening line: "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee."
Oh my, too too funny, per usual. There was already an overload delicious wreckiness to chew on and then you added the Shatner video too. It was so cringe inducing I had to stop it 3/4 of the way through. I tried to watch it all, I really, really tried, but it was just. too. painful!
So thank you @Miss Mindy 11:25am for the link to "Wolverine: The Musical". I howled with laughter. "I'm gonna slice and dice my toubles a-way-ay-ay-ayyy"FTW!
wv: hariz - Hariz gonna be shocked by Voldemort's takeover of Captain Picard's head.
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

That princess cake looks more like it belongs at a drag queen convention.
"...like that guy that guest starred on Buffy that time! (You know, the one with the hair?...)"
I've never watched Buffy so I was lost from the get-go.
Why is Batman so sad?
OMG I nearly SHAT my pants LOL
Oh, daily Cake Wrecks dose, how I love thee.
God, this is so awesome. My husband wants a Picard cake now.

We're taking my 13-year-old son and three of his friends for his birthday party. My son made his own costume and parts of the ones his friends will be wearing. They'll be dressed as a group they made up. So, if you happen to see four youngish teens wandering around together dressed in home-made costumes you don't recognize, you could say, "Happy Birthday, Malcolm!"
I'm pretty sure that Buzz Lightyear cake was presented at opening night at the Boston Gay Theatre's production of Toy Story.
Shatner FTW! (Although nothing can beat his rendition of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"!)
My daughter and I have been to enough cons that I can say, there is no exaggeration in this advertisement. That is exactly what they are like, both in advertising and in reality...
O...M...G!

Do you think sad sack fat Batman has to be on purpose? I kind of hope so.
You know, the Wolverine cake wasn't too bad really.
And now I have Rocketman stuck in my head, so thanks for that.
Batman: "sigh. Oh! Why can't I be on a GOOD cake?!!!"
I feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with the transvestite princess cake.
wv: demorati- members of the liberal, left-wing, tree hugging, latte-drinking, east coast democratic elite.
"The demorati feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with the transvestite princess cake."
I agree!
Sad that "Buzz" Rock.it.Man looks more 'fetching' than the Princesses...
Who knew Spock was so much bigger than Leia?
Holy crap! You just fulfilled all my wildest fantasies in that one post!
Cake D&D? Check
Cake Picard? Check
Cake Wolverine? Check
Pincess Leia and Spock on top of cake? Check
I don't care how wrecky they are (and they ARE), I can now devour each and every one of my geeky obsessions like I always said I would.
Look out Patrick Stewart - ::chomp, chomp, Mmmmrrawrrr::
wp: bactrad - backtracking in a very suave, cool manner.
chuckling loudly inwardly :0)
Poor Buzz... I didn't know he was half human and half octopus. Where exactly is his other hand again?
Thanks for the giggles.
Can't stand Shatner doing ANYTHING so i passed on the Rocketman vid.
Have fun at the convention!
Fat Batman *has* to be intentional. Right? Right?!
Love Shatner. Anyone who can self-mock as well as he does is one to admire.
This was very very FUNNY!
Thank you for starting my morning off right. :)
@ SuBee--I love your interpretation of your WV! LOL

The Wolverine cake is actually pretty awesome. Just sayin'....
Oh, wrecked geekery. My three year old daughter is currently running around in a Hellboy mask brandishing a lightsaber at the cats, so these posts are always a family favorite.
I can't be the only one who sees this.
Batman is sitting on the toilet wearing flipper socks.
Right? Right?
OH MY GOSH!! 3 Shatners! I had to keep pausing because my eyes were watering so much from laughter!
He doesn't need to climb the mountain anymore. This is my new earworm! Love the Shat!
Thanks for posting this!
Oh, and the wolvie cake looks like that guy from Tropic Thunder
Of course the princess cake is appropriate -- it's for the Drag On part of the convention!
wv - ollyz: When I look at ollyz cakes I have to laugh.
I was more interested when I first read the title and thought it ended "BACON!" instead of "BABECON!"
I don't know why... but the inner voice that read the commentary was the "MONSTER TRUCK MANIA!!!!!" Announcer. Which brought the hilarity to a whole 'nother level! Have fun at the con and I look forward to pictures on "the other blog."
That's some Shat his dad says right there.
I think all these wreckerators were high [long inhaling puff] as a kite! I think it's gonna be a long, long time before we see a decent cake.
Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit.
The Disney Princess cake should have been delivered to the Drag Festival (the one that has nothing to do with fast cars) because there's no way those are chicks.

I don't know...that Wolverine cake is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having it at my X-Men party. If I ever had and X-Men party.
"Holy Flabby Batman, Batman!"
Sorry... I had to...
Also,why does Cinderella have a beauty mark? Please let that be a beauty mark...
OMG can't... comprehend... wrecks

oh my. the shatner "song" was too painful to watch.
Y'know you're lucky. I was diagnosed with an ear infection an hour ago. Otherwise I'd be suing you for the pain in my head right now.

These cakes have all been invaded by the godless commists.

Are Leia and Spock on a flan "cake"? The Star Wars and Star Trek universes battle it out in wedded bliss atop a tasty Mexican dessert, my mind is officially blown.
I like the first Hulk, he looks so darn happy being on the cake.
ANS can you believe Shatner's 80!!
The Disney princesses are less like drag queens to me, and more like the screaming paintings from Black Swan. And just as terrifying.
Spock and Leia! WHAT? That doesn't even go together.
I haven't posted before, but this post is killing me. Not that everything wasn't awesome(I mean, Shatner? Come on!), but that simpering 1st Hulk still has me in tears. I laughed so hard, my coworker in the cubicle across from me is convinced I've lost my mind, again. Thank you for all this spectacle on such a grim day!
@Nite Nurse--
That's what I see too. And so did my four-year-old son ("Batman going potty?").
What weirdo universe crossed Rolf with The Hulk?
Batman on the batcan ready to explode. Gotham City's new threat. Yeah. Saw that, too.
Dang. Haven't been to a con in years!
Laughingmom said it for me - and on the first comment too!

I must say that this...
http://tinyurl.com/6hcepsm
...looks like the unfortunate consequence of a romance between a sea cucumber and and horseshoe crab.
A REAL horseshoe crab, not an alien in costume.
I'll be at MegaCon on Saturday wrangling my three children and taking pictures of everything. This should be REALLY fun :D
Is it wrong that I love the Spock and Leia cake-topper? Hilarious!
"Love is illogical."
"I know."
HAAa! (Snort)
I always pictured Kirk and Spock on top of a cake, not Leah. This is just proof that even Superheros aren't immune to a bad frosting gun. P.S., when did Batman gain all that weight?
Huh. I guess I no longer have to wonder what the Hulk & Sesame Streets Ernie's child would look like.
You know, I have seen so many parodies of Shatner "singing" but had never seen his actual performance doing such until now. Thank you.
It's Patrick Swayze as Cinderella, Joe Leguizamo as Snow White and Wesley Snipes as Sleeping Beauty - "To Walt Disney, with love, Julie Newmar".
I'm kind of in love with the Spock/Leia wedding cake topper.
Star Wars and Star Trek on the same cake? Wow, I think the universe just collapsed!
Oh, I *wish* this had been a post LAST WEEK, as last weekend was my annual SFF convention / weekend of geekdom! Fear not, I'm forwarding, but it would have been a hoot during many discussions! Thank, Cake Wrecks, as usual, you're amazing!
WV - dechancr: What is dechancr the princesses are actually female?
Wow, I had no idea Javier Bardem was now playing wolverine!
Hilarious! The princesses look like men in drag!
Picard Maneuver FTW! I love you. That's all.
I want that watchmen figures cake. Only i'd like it to be chocolate.
Sorry, I know there are lots of Shat fans out there, but I could only get through 1/2 of the video clip... when not cringing in horror, I kept wondering what brand of cigarette he was using to generate such huge plumes of smoke...
I couldn't stop myself from reading this out loud, in my best monster truck "SUNDAYSUNDAYSUNDAY!!!!!" voice. So. Thanks for that.
A fat, unhappy Batman with no knees is what every kid wants on their cake. I guess even super heroes get middle-aged spread.
Not sure which is my favorite - the Hulk with the Wallace & Grommit face, the dead ninja turtle (a.k.a. sword/shield), or Batman with a beer belly.
LynneM
Wow. I don't know if I should be honored or horrified!

@pikkewyntjie "Spock and Leia--that's awesome! Be even better if she was in the slave outfit. " lol. Um. NO.
@Jen "Spock and Leia! WHAT? That doesn't even go together." EXACTLY. Love conquers all. :)
@Laura P. "And I'm totally digging the big blob of white frosting underneath Leia and Spock! lol! I mean, seriously? They couldn't have used just a bit less frosting?" Ouch. Well, I guess it would have looked less odd if I hadn't just picked up a normal cheesecake and "wrecked" it for true love.
@pdxnico "Are Leia and Spock on a flan "cake"? The Star Wars and Star Trek universes battle it out in wedded bliss atop a tasty Mexican dessert, my mind is officially blown." haha. Outside of the Flan, that's exactly it.
Ok, folks, I'm done. :) Live long and ... may the Force be with you?
*giggle*
Post today was perfect. Mid-South Con is this weekend too. So we're all geared up for that here in Memphis. Perfect theme today, amd as always, funnier than "poop" to my 7 and 3 yr old boys.
Can I dub the green guy "The Inedible Hulk?" lol
I'm just wondering why you're picking on Muskogee. Not that it doesn't deserve it (especially love the Bass Pro Shops/Fashion Bug sponsor0, but it seems very random.
that Batman needs a bra!
Andrea, you're awesome. Can we be BFF's? lol
omgn! that video almost made me pee my pants. i have never seen that. that alone was the laugh of the day but i look forward to your website every day for great laughs.
thanks for cheering me every day!
As Andrea B's former roommate, I will say that I did freak out when she showed them to me. We threatened to find Han Solo and Chewbacca figurines to stand menacingly by the cake and threaten Spock, but we just didn't have enough time...
I'm a rocket, man.
I'm a rock-it-MAN!
Concretegarden,
Aww, we're not picking on Muskogee. Jen asked me for the name of an out-of-the-way place and I thought of Muskogee. It just sort of popped into my mind. We added the county because it sounded even more remote. That said, you have to admit it would be awesome if this convention came to Muskogee.
Interesting note: I say "Muskogee" with a distinctly Canadian accent.
Wreck On!

OMG, this was truly a LOL post today!
On the "princess" cake, the one on the right looks so much like it may have been done by Picasso. Look at the bust.
Batman looks he's suffering from an acute case of Dunlop disease.
And is that last one Buzz Lightyear in a straitjacket?
When I scrolled down to the second cake, my first thought was, "Why is Ernie green?" (Bert & Ernie)
True story, and i don't know if anybody's said this yet since I don't like to delve into the comments too much, but there is a (pretty bad) cartoon movie called "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" that William Shatner recorded the theme song for. It's called "To Infinity and Beyond" and it's HORRIBLE.
On the second Hulk cake...are those...jelly beans? Yuck!
I think someone needs to make a 3 Shatner moon shirt. (Extreme geekness required.)
If anyone has seen Val Kilmer lately, I think the Batman cake is actually an accurate rendition.
TYPO! It is not Shat's belated "birday!" I expect better. (=
Other than that, I have no complaints.
Carry on.
Just in case no one's pointed it out yet, that Picard cake looks more like the love child of Picard and Voldemort. Which I love.
-ke
Leia and Spock? On the same cake? "Must.Not.Cross.The.Streams!" There. A third movie reference, no charge!
Merry at Annie's Book Stop/Sharon, MA
WV: etatop. Etatop of the Trek/Wars cake, and all the fans can stop blanching in horror! *G*
I love you. I. Just. Love you.

Hulk Poop!
the wolverine was actually made by me. It started out being for my sons birthday party, the early stage of my cake decorating career. After it turned into a "Buff Freddy Mercury with a bad hairdo" i scrapped it. Still glad that it is appreciated for its pros and cons
W00T! I love you right now! Have fun at MegaCon!
wv: HATAR: Even if you don't get the geek jokes, don't be a hatar...
lmfao ... wow, last time i checked princess ariel had even sized breast's ... apparently not
So funny ..I baked a cake for St. Paddy's Day and instantly thought of this site!
Why, you ask? Every time I bake, something goes horribly wrong and I inevitably think of you. Everything was going great for this cake, I had managed to color it TWO shades of green ..all my boyfriend had to do was get the cake out of the pan.
I know. Why did I even let him near it? Moral of the story -It was a one layer bundt cake in the beginning. It was most certainly two by the time he had helped me.
http://halfpastwonderful.blogspot.com/2011/03/happy-saint-patricks-day.html
I don't remember the cakes . . . why were people not laughing uproariously during Shatner's performance? Thanks so much for the video. Best wreck ever.
Is it just me, or does "Val Kilmer" look exactly like Dr. Katz, complete with Squigglevision?!?!
Stellar!
I read that really fast and got all excited because I thought it was going to be about cakes that looked like bacon. Then I slowed down....
wv: nonsly-- kind of self-explanatory: not very cunning
Oh, dear. I actually live in Muskogee county. If only we had something as cool as MEGAWIZARDDRAGONANIMEBABECON.
But we don't.
*sigh*
Wow the Spock and Leia? Not to mention the poor sword.
My friends are down in Orlando for the con go check them out at the Twisted Heroes booth!
For a minute, I hoped that the first line actually meant you were going to be in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Alas, it seems that you, like so many others, only picked my home town because it sounds funny and/or is in an old country song.
For the record, 99% of Muskogee County residents hate that song. How about next time you try an even funnier Oklahoma place-name? We have a Potawatamie, Okfuskee, Lotawata, and even a Hooker, OK. Or you could always try getting over the depression-era stereotypes.
My favorite was the comment on the spock/leia cake...
"Love is illogical." "I know."
Totally made my day!
@ Jenna - I've actually never heard a song with the name Muskogee in it. You're right: I just thought it was a funny name. Which seemed appropriate for, you know, a humor blog. ;)
I also had no idea there was a depression-era stereotype that Muskogee residents enjoyed scifi conventions. What are the odds?
Anyway, thanks for the other name suggestions - I'll file those away for future reference. (I especially like Potawatamie.)
Ok. My Dad was born in Muskogee. People say I get my sense of humor from him. Note the phrase, 'sense of humor'. I always bring that with me when I visit Cake Wrecks, because Cake Wrecks is a *humor* blog. It isn't a formal information resource like Wikipedia (is for some people, but not John (thoJ), who has learned his lesson, one hopes).
Know what I think of songs, blogs, etc. sending up Muskogee? It reminds me of the funny stories my Dad used to tell about his hometown, and I smile.
Smiling helps me see the lighter side and helps me avoid ascribing evil intent to every utterance by others -- there is more than enough real evil in the world that I don't have to go around fabricating still more.
By the way, I haven't had time to check the Exhaustive Encyclopedia of Games (unabridged version, by Edmund Welles), but those dice might be wrong. Just thought you should know.
Craig,
:)

Hey, that Buzz Lightyear one is actually pretty good.
Is it just me or does Picard look more like a Gelfling from The Dark Crystal?
wv cones: What Slave Leia's outfit by John Galliano featured.
Anyone else think Picard looks more like Voldemort?
Yes! Shatner! \m/
My wife and I decorated ...errr... desecrated a very nice chocolate cake in honor of the Shat's birthday. I put "Bill- Happy 80rd B-Day" in horrible writing and she put pretty pretty flowers on it. The cake tastes good and the icing is pure sugar so that's all good too.
So this is a humour blog, eh? Fascinating...
Frowning blue batman gave me the sads...
"Love is illogical."
"I know."
Love it! Love! Did I mention love? Couldn't stop laughing. In fact, I'm still chuckling over it. That was just perfection.
And you haven't even seen what's on the OTHER side of Gallifrey yet...
Oh my goodness they made Wolverine look..so hmm can't find the words for it lol. And why does the Hulk look like Oscar the Grouch on steroids? What on earth is going on here.. other than horrible wrecks that is.
those are some classic cakes. thanks for sharing...
That second Hulk cake... it looks like he ripped a little too far through his pants in the back to me.
No comments yet on the Silk Spectre/Comedian cake topper? It seems like a really roundabout way of telling your significant other you want a restraining order. Or that s/he should get one.
They're to die "six," not "for."
wv-- belefes: I count it among my belefes that a wrecker could easily draw 2d4 on a cake when trying for 2d6.
What happened to Batman? He has really let himself go. . . And those hands! What is that? Adult-onset megadactyly?
Oh, my! These are all, just . . . amazing.
Oh, excuse me --must get in the spirit of the day --
AMAZING!!!11!!11!!
The flipper-like things on Bat Fatman -- er, Fat Batman -- look to me like the ends of his cape pulled through his arms.
That, to me, makes it look even more like he's sitting on the toilet, holding the cape out of the way of falling in!
As for his serious face, well, that's Batman -- isn't he always supposed to be Deep and Troubled?
wv-heappol
If you heappol of the icing in one spot, nobody will notice what's wrong with the cake, right?
Am I diseased if I actually think the Logan cake looks decent?
That is CLEARLY not Picard - it's Voldemort in his Quirrell-head incarnation...and Wolverine has undergone his secondary mutation into Lobsterine, with the added power of being able to fit an orange up each nostril.
WV - brasele - those Disney 'princesses' probably got fake-padded braseles.
"The Picard Maneuver" is what my circle of friends like to call that little tug Patrick Stewart always gives to his uniform top. Hee!
(Oh, and I'd totally got to MEGAWIZARDDRAGONANIMEBABECON! Hopefully my Disney princess costume would be better than that cake.)
WV: ackoodo. What happens when Michael Okuda accidentally puts the wrong display on the Enterprise bridge computer.
The Picard cake really wasn't that bad... except his nose. That was WAY too big. The Wolverine one was actually quite funny, and I'm glad the designer also has a great sense of humor.
Muskogee. Heh. The derogatory song in question would be "Okie from Muskogee" (I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee, a place where even squares can have a ball"). It was popular in the very early 70's, about when I started college at OU. Many of my classmates, not to mention my favorite philosophy teacher, could readily refute the opening line: "We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee."
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally. Heh heh.
Littlefoot (who really should register sometime)
Seriously, all cons should be called MEGADRAGONBABECON because that's what most of them are now, especially the babe part.
And Hulk #1 sure is happy. Maybe someone sprinkled some sugar in his gamma rays.
The guest star from Buffy... you were referring to Hinton Battle, right? a.k.a. "The Coolest Demon Ever"?
Oh my, too too funny, per usual. There was already an overload delicious wreckiness to chew on and then you added the Shatner video too. It was so cringe inducing I had to stop it 3/4 of the way through. I tried to watch it all, I really, really tried, but it was just. too. painful!
So thank you @Miss Mindy 11:25am for the link to "Wolverine: The Musical". I howled with laughter. "I'm gonna slice and dice my toubles a-way-ay-ay-ayyy" FTW!
wv: hariz - Hariz gonna be shocked by Voldemort's takeover of Captain Picard's head.
The first Hulk looks like a green Rowlf the (Muppet)Dog.
