Wreckies of the Month: The Cake-Free Edition!

Most of the time our Wreckies of the Month submit pictures of cakes, but not today's readers! Nope, they got a *lot* more creative.

First up, Carmen L. was actually inspired by a Sweet, not a wreck. This one:

(Made by Yukiko, aka Rosey Sugar)

So inspired, in fact, that Carmen incorporated that scrollwork pattern into one of the prettiest tattoos I've seen:

Isn't it gorgeous?

Here's a close-up:

See the tulip-shape with the curls inside? That's the design from the cake!


Next, prepare for an assault of astounding adorable-tude!!

It's a double cute attack!

Now, the one on the left is a cake I featured in this post of Super Mario Sweets. The one on the right is a handmade plush by the über talented Emma R. of Felt Original Toys. She spent six months making it, y'all. SIX MONTHS. And all because I asked someone to make me a plush of that cake. Not that I get it, of course - Emma's not *that* crazy - but the pictures are more than enough to make me grin like a loon.

Here's a close-up, so you can see all the painstakingly precise hand-stitching:

And lookit little Mario!

SO. CUTE.



Ok, my final reader spotlight today is the extreme opposite of "cute," so if you're enjoying basking in the glow of pastel stars and squishy, huggable cakes, you might want to skip it. Or take a moment to brace yourself before scrolling down. [evil grin]

Ready?

Ok, here goes.

Soo...remember that horrific meatloaf baby cake thing I posted way back when? Yes? Seared into your memory for all time? Haha! Yeah, I thought so.

Well, a lot of you sick, sick people had one thought and one thought only: What did it look like after it was cooked?

And, "lucky" for you, loyal minion Jessica K. is here to help.

Before:

[shudder]


Aaaannnnd....


After:

Any questions?

(Besides "do you have ketchup?" I mean.)

  1. Love the Mario!! My most favorite video game ever ..so so sweet :)

    The baby is horrifying though. Both shots. Equally horrifying.

  2. I love how the meatloaf baby turned into a boy after he was fully cooked.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Awww, shoot! I was gonna try to make a plush out of that Mario cake. Not the whole cake, though. Just the bomb.

    ReplyDelete
  4. The burned baby makes the original one look kinda cute!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Yes, question (other than request for condiments): Does bacon make good diapers?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Blurrgh! The belly is still raw!

    THANK YOU for not showing the creepy, staring baby after dousing with ketchup. This was bad enough.

    ReplyDelete
  7. The eye on the left, meat-baby's right eye, will never be completely erased from my mind. Eyes that slide slowly off faces- I have a new fear.
    And those tiny burnt hands.
    And thanks for pointing out that there's something pointing out of the bacon diaper, Sue. I can't stop noticing. (That's the strangest sentence I have ever written.
    Pretty tattoo though, and the cake plush is SO cute!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Wow! Awesome tat, and that felt! The baby -- just --- gross. Very very gross.

    ReplyDelete
  9. You reeled us in with beauty and cuteness only to horrify us with meatloaf baby!!!

    Shocked! I'm shocked to find out that you actually showed a cooked meatloaf baby!

    aside = "Here's your fork and ketchup, ma'am"

    *whispers* thank you

    SHOCKED I say!

    ReplyDelete
  10. *gasp!* Stunning!

    *gasp!* Adorable!

    *sputter, choke* ....Eeeeeew.

  11. Cooked meatloaf baby= Best wreck ever!

    ReplyDelete
  12. The Mario plush is just too cute.
    Can't say the same for the meatloaf baby though... I hope it tasted good, at least.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The meatloaf baby is even more horrific cooked, and I honestly hadn't thought that possible... O_O

    ReplyDelete
  14. @Sue -lmao Good eyes!

    I love the tattoo! What a wonderful and beautiful idea. So very pretty.

    Also the plushie is really cool. That's talent.

  15. Oh Jen and John, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... q) Man, did I miss a dust up when I didn't read CW for a week. Mea culpa! 3.1415) When you do well made, cute cakes it's funny. When you comment on poorly made cakes, I don't need to do any more ab exercises for the day, %) Even if ya are Trekkies, you still make me laugh. Love, Me.

  16. Heave. Never eat meatloaf again. Never

    ReplyDelete
  17. The tattoo pictures made my gorge rise a little, but that's probably just me. I'm wondering what property of meat caused the baked baby's mouth to shift over to the side like that.

    ReplyDelete
  18. the plush was so stinkin' cute I thought my smile was perma-plastered... and then the meatloaf baby came...

    *shudder*

    ReplyDelete
  19. WV: speale. I never cared much for meatloaf anyway, but this one made me speale.

  20. Felt "Original" Toys?

    Well, if it's a copy of a professionally-made cake, not to mention characters from a well-known game, it's not quite 'original' now, is it?

    If she tries to sell it, is it violating copyright laws?

    Just sayin'.

    ReplyDelete
  21. That meatloaf baby has CSI episode written all over it.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well, that's some contrast!

    Here are some more meatloaf babies:

    Cooked babycake - Pet Semetary nightmare flashbacks...thanks.

  24. Oh my, oh my. THAT is hil-LAR-ious.

    Keep it coming.

  25. Went to the blog of the toy maker and SHE IS 16 YEARS OLD. That means that 6 months is a much higher proportion of her life than the rest of us old folks.

    Holy moley. How loud did you squee when you saw that thing? Because it's all kinds of awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am one sick puppy...because that baby meatloaf looks really good. All that' missing is some mashed potatos, applesauce and ketchup.
    I'm not sure if I can stop laughing long enough to eat it though.

    *p.s. Is it wrong that I want to see what it looks like cut up?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Gwahahahahahhaha meatloaf baby strikes again!!!!!

    Thanks for the laugh! I needed it today!!

  28. In all honesty, I would wear a bacon diaper. Just sayin'.
    The Mario plush is magnificent. I would go so far as to call it scrumtrulescent.

    ReplyDelete
  29. ok, the baby looks gross but that bacon diaper is cooked to perfection! Ya gotta REALLY love bacon to say "I'd eat that diaper"; I do, and I would.

    ReplyDelete
  30. @Gween "*p.s. Is it wrong that I want to see what it looks like cut up?"

    Yes. But it's worse when you contemplate how to make it look like guts on the inside.

    I am a horrible, horrible, horrible person, I know. At least I didn't do it. Just thought about it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I WANT THAT MARIO PLUSHIE. Too cute. That meat baby D:

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ewww... it's little shrunken hands!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't think I can ever eat meatloaf...or babies...again....

    wv- triliz: It used to be exciting, but now the triliz gone.

  34. Meatloaf baby after cooking:
    Bwahahahahahaha!!!

    ReplyDelete
  35. My, what a swell baby.




    wv: The frenzy of chopping and grinding and forming and baking, eased by the postprandial sense of meaty-oniony-ketchupy wellbeing that could come only from perfectly cooked meatloaf, gave him a prozac-like -- nay, valium-like -- mednesse that he'd long missed after his treatment had ended.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That cooked meatloaf baby is disturbing! It makes me shudder. You can still see the eyes!

    On the other hand though, that tattoo was pretty sweet! :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. My only question is the same question I had for the original posting of meatloaf baby cake... WHY????

    ReplyDelete
  38. If I weren't already a vegetarian, this would do it. Ewwwwwwwww!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm just waiting for the inevitable plush meatloaf baby. Regarding the original...

    Babies are awesome; meatloaf and bacon are awesome (especially together). We're talking two DIFFERENT kinds of 'awesome', m'kay?

    "Where's the ketchup?" More like, "Where's the memory eraser."

    ReplyDelete
  40. wv: eviesms

    After looking at the cooked meat paste baby and pondering sticking a fork in it, I went into EVIESMS!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sure, I have a question about the baby.

    Does it come with buns? You know, just in case you want something to hold the meat parts with :Vc

    Though if there's only forks, then I'm 0k with that as well.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think Reverend Ref+ is onto something with that CSI episode. Let's help them out with the plot. Firefighters respond to a house fire and are saddened to find a dead baby. But where were the parents and how did the baby get into the oven? The homeowner knows it was irresponsible to leave the home with oven on to run errands but can't figure out why he's being charged with murder. Of course, the autopsy reveals that the kid was made of meatloaf all along.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Okay, here's what someone needs to do:

    Make a meatloaf of Meat Loaf! He's kind of a big guy, so maybe just his head. That would be the most awesomely disturbing thing ever!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm kinda hungry for meatloaf now!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Niiiice....burnt burger baby with a tiny bacon wee wee. How niiice is that! I won't ever be able to look at meat loaf the same way again...

    ReplyDelete
  46. is that a regular ink tattoo -done in red shades?

    or is it a scarification/branding "tatt" that will heal on her skin in shades of pink/white-ish (based on her skin-tone) and/or raised keloid type tissue?

    if just looks like....not "merely" an ink tattoo.....

    (from somebody who has all 3 of the above body mods)

    ReplyDelete
  47. the raw meat baby was the nastiest thing you have EVER posted. worse than the pregnant torso with the creepy alien hand even...

    cooked? it's enough to make me very, very glad I decided not to make meatloaf this weekend- I would have had to throw it away!

  48. I just have to say that I love, love, love that my baby shower cake continues to show up at the bottom of the wreckies of the month screen after a year! I guess when you screw up a Spock cake it gets to be famous for all time! My Kylie will be celebrating her first birthday next month and I have to confess I was tempted to go with the same bakery so I could have another famous cake for her!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I had never made meatloaf before and after this, I probably never will again. Making it was like a reverse autopsy, but as disturbing as it was...it was too funny showing it off. It reminds me off a garbage pail kid! Thank you for posting! I felt like a (demented) rock star when I saw my beefy bacon diaper baby...and not one of my cakes! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. O..M..G..! that meatloaf baby looks like a burn victim... and I would know, I used to be a nurse on the burn unit.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Well at least they didnt cook the meatloaf with ketchup already in it, 'cause that would push through and bubble up and yeah....

    at this point i've grossed out everyone with the inevitable mental image, or god forbid, image sequence. (^^)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Now if that woman could make a plush baked baby meatloaf out of felt we would really have something memorable, although I may never forget that last horrific image. Ick.

    ReplyDelete
  53. and I was planning on having meatloaf for dinner but now it looks like I'll be swinging thru a drive thru...

    ReplyDelete
  54. I looked at the meatloaf baby and the first thing I thought of was, in Futurama announcer style, "You saw it . . . you can't UNsee it!"

    ReplyDelete
  55. The meatloaf baby seriously looks like a burn victim! OMG! That was disturbing. I like meatloaf, but could not would not eat that one!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Emma you rock! I knew you were talented and smart, but that Mario cake is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Uuuggghhh....burnt baby???
    That's probably...no, that is HANDS DOWN the MOST unappetizing piece of...food?...I have EVER seen.


    Thank god I'm vegan...

  58. @luna1580 it's a real ink tattoo. the artist used tan and pink ink. it was about 3 days old in the picture, which is why it still looks raised.

    ReplyDelete
  59. That is THE most beautiful tattoo I have EVER seen! For the first time in my life I am actually tempted to get one!

    ReplyDelete
  60. the tattoo is awesome, the plushie is absolutely adorable.
    However, after the meatloaf baby, I need eye-bleach *shudder*

    ReplyDelete
