Plus your kids might be a pain, too.
Well, here's one way to exact a little revenge: your kids' birthday cake.
Yep, there's something about seeing their favorite lovable character transformed into a homicidal psychopath that could slightly unhinge more impressionable minds.
"Billy, would you like to do the honors? Let's start with a good clean stab through Elmo's eye. Go on.
"Oh, quit crying. Birthday boys *like* eating Muppet eyes! And just look at that face! Elmo wants you to eat him!"
Ok, granted, you'll be the one paying for their therapy sessions later, but in the meantime...
Thanks to wreckporters Laurie H., Stephanie L., Kevin H., Fraulein M., & Jennifer S., who think I should totally write parenting books. (Working title: Odds Are, They'll Live.)

That's a pony!? I thought it was a female dinosaur.
Is it just me or does it look like that's blood on the neck of that horse?
Nothing like a bloody horse's head to say Happy Birthday!
After viewing these wrecks, I think I will have a little trouble sleeping. They all have a sinister look.

Elmo's reaction is perfectly understandable - I mean people are coming after him with knives to DISSECT him (probably starting with his eyes) and he has nowhere to run. Who wouldn't look like that?
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday from the Corleones!
Happy Birthday to you.
I really need to remember not to drink coffee while reading this blog. I keep spitting coffee all over the keyboard!
Where's the evil clown cake?
That pony is a ccc!
My mother always told me to be sure and give my kids something to tell their therapist about when they grew up......
(That should be a joke but it's the Gods honest truth.)
My 5 year old said the last one looks like Chewbacca. LOL
The Spongebob cake must be from that X-rated bakery with the plastic half-lady in the window.
oh god... that "horse" cake ... it's like the godfather horse head crossed with t-rex from Jurassic Park!
-Alli
Every year for my birthday, I asked for a horse cake. Glad I never got that one!
WV: cuppla. You've posted a cuppla doozies today!
Of course that horse cake is reduced 40% -- 40% of the horse is missing....but still...an offer you can't refuse....
wv-deduc: (verb) to take away, as in, "Sure we can deduc 40% off that cake."
Dear lord! That Buzz Lightyear will haunt me till the end of days!
I'm 40 and I STILL ask for a pony for my birthday. But, not this one. Please! NOT this one!
Heather
Belated thanks, Mom, for making all my birthday cakes yourself.
I thought Buzz wasn't too bad. The martian guys behind him were cute. And, wrecky as it is, my toddler Mr. NoPants would appreciate the Spongebob one. Not that he'd be allowed to eat it, because I'm a buzzkill kind of mom.
Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly feel like I need to go hug my horse.
That looks less like a pony and more like Frank the Bunny from "Donnie Darko".
Buzz Lighyear is pretty creepy looking! The sad thing is the alien guys (don't remember what they were called) look pretty good.
Hello Joe! That's my favorite simpson's episode!
Also I think the "pony" cake party sent home fish wrapped in bullet proof vests as party favors.
AUUUGGGHHHHH D:
I like that pony. Any time there's a reasonable solution to the pony request, it's a good thing, right?
Clearly Mr. No Pants got a peek at the cake that was removed from yesterday's post....
the buzz lightyear BODY is pretty god, and so is everything else. its just that FACE!
My 13 year old son says the last one looks like Chewie, too.
I am now too frightened to sleep. These cakes will haunt me. ;^)
My daughter's already terrified of the horse that eats children in the movie The Brothers Grimm - this cake would be the final nail in the coffin....
Heh heh...my friend's "working" parenting book is titled: How to Keep Your Children Alive.
WV: warce
I wish I could warce the images of those cakes off my brain.
Has Spongebob got a bone stuck through his err... ?
Spongebob looks like a brick of cheese (and not Swiss), with his privates covered with a bow.
and that evil pony head reminds me of the Godfather....especially with the red roses where the bloody part is!
warning, graphic:

Yup. his reaction is what these kids will do when they see these homicidal cakes.
Who wants ponies when you could get dinosaurs on their cakes!
Perhaps the last cake is for a Godfather fan to find in their bed *shudder*
Nope. I'm sorry, but Spongebob has definitely got a bone stuck through part of his anatomy. Why? I think we should be told.
I wish I could unsee that last photo. Yeesh!
How fitting that Psychotic Caffeine Buzz is followed by Terrified Elmo - that's about what my face looked liked when I scrolled down! Dear Lord, if you are that talented to make all the console panels and buttons on his suit, how much harder is it to make EYELIDS?
Then again, perhaps he's not jazzed up on caffeine after all. Perhaps it's a rendition of what happens to a human body in space when you remove your helmet.
That last one is most definitely the horse's head from The Godfather. I mean, just look at all the blood!
**shudder**
wv: norman - The name of the horse, a la the calf in City Slickers. "Norman, hello???"
My husband, upon seeing the last cake:
"Oh, that's a PONY. I thought it was a velociraptor at first."
Being torn apart
by wee squeaky-voiced monsters:
Elmo's Worst Nightmare
"Odds Are, They'll Live" is a brilliant title. My BFF and I decided that our guide to baby showers will be titled "somebody has to buy the rectal thermometer"
Great blog, as always!
WV: unplucks
It looks like Buzz likes to unplucks eyeballs from birthday boys when they're not looking.
I thought it was a dinosaur too! But, i don't see blood. I see a ring of supposed-to-be flowers ringing the "pony's" neck, sort of ending the cake with a flourish.
Can't unsee that Buzz, it will follow me in my dreams tonight...o.O
And i would have taken another color of flower..any color, for those flowers for the horse.
People remember: think, then decorate!
First: If the recipient were named Madeline, at least the color scheme would make more sense.
Last: Awww, it's My Little Dinosaur. Where is Darth Vader?
Or...
"You have asked for a pony for 1,000 days straight. That would be so practical, given that we live in a 5th story apartment in the middle of downtown. However, I decided to grant your wish. Pleasant...dreams?" [Mom sports Buzz Lightyear expression; child decides to save time by entering therapy the following day]
Sweet Maria! I though that was a severed Tauntaun head.
I audibly gasped when I saw the so-called horse. Way to get me busted at work, guys!
Oooh, where is iMom when we need her?
I can hear it now, "You wanted an Elmo, I got you an Elmo, so you need to eat it. There are starving children in China who just *wish* he could scare them too!"
^_^
I refuse to believe that last cake is not a dinosaur head. A decapitated dinosaur head.
At least it's on sale, so if you're going to scar your kids you can do it on the cheap.
I can only assume that the pony cake was inspired by both "Jurassic Park" and "The Godfather".
WV: knimul. This cake does not portray a knimul known to science.
LOL!!! Those are hilarious/awful! Love it!
and i thought that i was going to get rid of my insomia...
Even though I plan on going through the rest of my life childless (just like you Jen and John), I would love to see your parent book and what kind of (hopefully funny) advice you would come up with.
And I like the title you have created.
Agreed - the first thing my daughter said, "That's not a pony, that's a dinosaur!"
*shudder*
*shudder*
Thought the last one was a "Godfather" reference....
@trista - i was thinking drag queen T-Rex.
a pony? really? wow.
If there's anything scarier than the Barney Song it's that Barney cake, and that Spongebob no-pants cake is pretty horrifying too.
If I squint my eyes the "pony" starts to look like simba from the lion king
Children everywhere LOVE
Decomposing Elmo!
For a second I thought the first one was Grimace from McDonald's...Grimace was one misunderstood dude.
HAHAHAAHAA! Oh my gosh! This literally made me laugh out loud. KILLKILLKILLKILL! After having a long morning of food poisoning, thank you for actually making me smile!
I love the little aliens behind Psycho-Buzz! They're like "EEwwww....! (Please don't let him kill us....)"
I am wondering if the horse head cake was left on someone's pillow.
That mafia horse's head is very very scary. Why has it got blood coming out of it? And Elmo looks like a sort of Edvard Munch "scream" version of elmo, his mouth is horrible.
wv: amiton Ami ton't like that horse's head cake!
It's not a pony.
It's a tonton: http://www.davidlouisedelman.com/wp-content/uploads/luke-skywalker-on-tonton.jpg
You guys make my day!!! Not many things can make me laugh so much. These are great!
That last one should be dubbed the Godfather cake...
"Leave the gun. Take the cannolis."
Or, leave the horse head cake, take scary Elmo.
bahaha...that is one of my favourite Simpson's references ever.
Top notch post as always!
-Annie
I'm channeling Mr. Bill on the Elmo cake: "Ohhhhh Nooooo!"
You need a "like" button like on facebook. Because I would really like to "like" the "Happy Birthday from the Corleones" comment.
Buzz Lightyear is TERRIFYING! It looks like his flesh is about to peel off his skull at any second! Ah, good old-fashioned Nightmare Fuel!
I'm having a "GODFATHER" scene flash through my head with that last one...
I thought the first one was the Hamburglar.
Buzz Lightyear! What are you doing with Minions? Have you gone to the darkside?
"Psycho-Buzz" and "Spongebob Flasher" will now haunt MY dreams. Thanks, John and Jen.
Oh, and If I'm not mistaken, that last one is a Hippogryph from "Harry Potter". Which in no way makes it any less disturbing, I might add... O_O
Does anyone else see that last cake and think "Predator?"
LOVE the working title of your book! I was told a while back that everyone should have a title to "their book" should they ever desire to write one...yours is CLASSIC!
Mine thus far is..."Does Anyone Know Why the Corn Flakes Bleached the Carpet?"
As for the cakes...Barney loses a lot in 2D...the horse is frightful...and Elmo...uhhhhh, who thought that was worthy of being for sale?
I question the placement of that "bow" on SpongeBob....
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of velociraptors and "The Godfather" upon seeing the final cake. Also, I would totally buy "Odds Are, They'll Live." Then again, I once took a picture of my baby in a dog food bowl while wearing a onesie that read "dingo bait"...
DANG!!!!!! That horse!!!!! It is scary, ain't it! I know I have seen that horse before!!!
It's that horse from "The Godfather"???? I know it is! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, BAKERY LADY!!!!!
I don't know which one was creepier. The horse head, the psycho Buz or the bug eyed Elmo LOL. It's a shame what people get away with putting in their deli cases lol.
Buzz to wreckorator:
"HEY!! YOU! Get OVER here, NOW!
Look, I didn't come all the way over here just to have you P*SS me OFF!
I agreed to be on the cake--NOT to be IN the darn thing...and NOT to be wearing some freaking brown-leafed HULA SKIRT!!! Get me OUT of here and give me my legs back! Look at my teeth! That is a grimace! It shows that I mean BUZZNESS--er, BUSINESS!
GRRRR!!!!
=^>.<^=
blink blink
I can't get past that Buzz Lightyear. I'm soooo gonna have nightmares.
I also haven't seen the pony yet. I did wonder if the mob was now leaving dinosaur heads in victim's beds so I'm relieve so many others thought the same thing.
-Barbara Anne
That's a horse? My first thought was.. huh.. someone made Draco from Dragonheart as a CCC. With his head cut off...
Is that last one an ode to Godfather?
psttt, Anon,
It's Tauntaun, not tonton
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tauntaun
wv: Warcult: I don't know what this is, but it was too good to pass up reposting.
But parents, REMEMBER, when the kiddies are grown, they will be buying you YOUR birthday cakes.
That explains a lot about some of the 50th & 60th birthday cakes we've seen here.
wv: juyea - another spelling of July
altogether now.....
"never mind copyright infringement.... edible images"
LOVE that i can save $5.99 on the pony cake
Note to self: never read Cake Wrecks right before bedtime.
WV: nootings Buzz Lightyear and the horse cake are nootings for me to have a nightmare about tonight.
I thought the barney was kinda cute lol. Now the shrieking Elmo on the other hand may just give me nightmares forever. And why would anyone give their child a decapitated horse head for their birthday unless they are from a rival family from the Godfather? Lol scary cakes..
That last one -- the horse that everybody thinks is from The Godfather or a dinosaur of some sort --
The first thing I thought of when I saw it was, "Sleestak!"
And it's 10:30 on the west coast and nobody will see this, but I had to post it up anyway.
I have a sweet, wonderful, beautiful horse, but after seeing that cake, I'm afraid to go to the barn!
Seriously people, click on the pony. It's a cupcake cake!
A child therpist would love these cakes.
Buzz Lightyear looks eerily like Light-kun from Death Note. Oh and the pony looks like a dinosaur. Awesome blog.
Buzz looks like he’s had some really bad plastic surgery! Surprise!
a pony??? I was certain it was a T-rex.
--Kim
This is my favorite thing you've ever posted. The buzz lightyear is hilarious.
I second Trista, I literally exclaimed, "That's a PONY?" Never would have guessed.
wait... that's a pony? i thought it was a beheaded dinosaur. it's even got the blood and gore on the neck!
Elmo's mouth = gaping maw of doom.
Last cake = Chewbacca with a horn?
The last cake, I am looking at through my phone and my 3 year old son says "a doggy cake" enough said. Lol
jenzi
OMG, that last one was a PONY?? I sincerely believed it was a t-rex...
