Maybe we should try that with all cakes. See, this next one could be "Lizard Crushed Under Petrified Easter Egg":
Poor guy. Those eyes just about popped out, didn't they?"What Happens When You Ask For 'Happy Birthday Jaime' Around St. Patrick's Day":
And "Recycling Soggy Corn Pops*":
Happy Patricks, Sarah S., Steve R., Amy S. & Jeremy E.!
*Speaking of which, Corn Pops has the most insane website for a breakfast cereal I have ever seen. Has Kellogg's gone 'round the bend?

The "gold" looks like slimy egg yolks. Appetizing.
OMG. That CornPops website is just bizarre.
well, i gotta say they were thinking out of the box when they chose corn...
Eh...what the heck is that turtle-type thing? I don't understand how that's remotely St. Patty's related...except it's green and someone put shamrocks on its back. How creative!
*headdesk*
That Corn Pops website is insane, but I bet kids love it. It gave me a bit of a headache.
whoa!!! that corn pops site is just WAY out there!! definitely adds to the "HMMMM.. mushy mush"-ness of kids brains!
ohh.. and the cakes are wrecktastic as usual.
"To quote 'TV star' Alec Baldwin, 'Mmm, mushy mush.'"
This caption made my day!
('Cause we're aliens, and that's how we roll.)
My friend Jamie is married to Patrick, so that "Happy Patrick Jamie" could SORTA work for her. :)
Also, don't hate me, but that squished lizard/turtle cake with the bugged out eyeballs? I think he's cute.
"Funny."
You were right...
Looks like the boys in Advertising over at Kellogg's have been taking hits off of Michael Phelps' bong.
These cakes are just so assertive...they know what they are and they're going to tell the world about it. So there.
My name is Jamie and tomorrow is my birthday! Thank god I've never gotten a cake like that though...
Did they ask for Happy Birthday J'aime (my friend in french) or Happy Birthday Jamie? Was it a double wreck?
EEeuuuuwwww, those corn pops look nasty!
Wow, that corn pops site is so crazy, I had to stop and think, "How did I get here?". When it finally came back to me.... The first cake is awesome, maybe that's what they should have written on it.
What's up with the Pop's website? Better question, what were they smoking?
subtedo- A plant smoked by crazes cereal makers when designing websites
wow - that cornpops site was worth the entry price to cakewrecks alone!
Mushy mush... LOL
I'm pregnant, and that last cake almost made me barf :yuck:
Those corn pops must be lemon drops. Otherwise the universe makes no sense.
Angie (from over at www.HalfAssedKitchen.com)
I've got to ask, do you visit a lot of cereal websites?
Pretty sure the creators of that website could have benefited from a label: CornPops (NOT Cocaine).
thoses cakes do suck. the pot of gold grossed me out. but that cornpops website? i want the same "stuff" the web designers were taking! my kids loved it! haha! to be 4 and 7 again!
So, if cake decorators all wore labels that said, "Intelligent and Tasteful" then there would be no CakeWrecks.
That would be sad.
dude, you weren't kidding about the corn pops site! wacko!
also, i think those things on the cake are lemon drops... sad, sad, little MELTING lemon drops... eeewwwww....
Wow. That third one ("Happy Patricks Jaime") is REALLY wrecky.
Imagine the gall of a baker, to sell a cake that's already HALF EATEN!!!
I just went and looked at the Corn Pops website and now I am terrified. I think I'll be staying out of the cereal aisle for awhile.
Websense, our corporate firewall, blocks the Corn Pops site. I guess that scared me enough right there.
WV: siesse. As in General Mills needs to siesse and desiesst.
Wow. Trippy Corn Pops site!!
That sugar pops rainbow cake is gross. Looks like something the cat yarked up..
~Amy B
I like that the Happy Patrick's cake must have looked so delicious that they couldn't wait to eat it until after the picture was taken.
Wow, Kellogs has been smokin' the crack rock. That is an acid trip website for sure.
The Happy Patricks Jaime is not only rediculous, but obviously off center considering there's a bunch of cake missing.
It's funny that when I first saw the "turtle" cake, the first thing I noticed was the sticker that said "Yellow." Oh the Irony! -- Samuel
I looooove Alec Baldwin in that hulu commercial. I laugh hysterically every time. It makes me happy you were able to reference it :)
Maybe, that first one is supposed to be a play on words? "Irish" you a Happy St. Patricks Day!?!?! :o)
laughed outloud again!! dont know whats best awful cakes or your dry humour keep it up!! by the way St Paddy is really Welsh you know!M Banks-wilkinson Brigend UK
So ... I suppose Irish turtles have to lay their eggs somewhere.
The turtle-thing one is already labeled... it's called "Yellow." And yet, it's green... it speaks to the dichotomy of our emotions to the outside world. The cake is Yellow, but I'm blue... and therefore.... Green.
This deep thought brought to you by Girl Who Needs More Coffee.
You know, since my name constantly gets spelled 'Jaime' by idiots who assume the light brown hair (white blond when I was a kid), blue green eyes, and pale skin must indicate I'm Hispanic, I just can't be bothered to care about that particular screw up.
Just when I think that CCCs can't get any uglier, a cat throws up corn pops right on top of a rainbow.
That corn pops website was totally insane! Thanks for sharing:)
That rainbow one. Wow. The pot of gold is supposed to BE at the the end of the rainbow. Not BE the end of the rainbow. Yikes.
Wow I didn't realise some cereals have hallucinogenic qualities... I will be staying away from cereals for a while too, or at least until I hear that the web designers and creative team have gone into rehab.
Oh, umm...wow! I can't believe it, but you turned my stomach with the corn pop rainbow. No way will those ever jump into my cart at the store. The first cake was hilarious, it make me go "ya think?!" I felt bad for the turtle, because obviously the weight ofthose shamorocks on his shell is too much for him to handle. And the last one....I'm not going back to that.
Having seen "Hellboy" just last night, I believe those are Sammael eggs. Don't eat them!
WV: forts -- yeah, we're going to need some of those pretty soon.
I enlarged the pot o' gold cake to check out those yellow things.
I know they aren't Corn Pops by the shape, but I still have no idea what they are.
A couple of them look like Spree candies. The rest? Gad. Who knows.
Word verification: adspyro. A good way to describe the Corn Pops website.
@Eileen - that's just how I roll.
Although I'm thinking Corn Pops owes me a few free boxes after today's inadvertent advertising. :D
Yummy Mush indeed I've gotta say that pot of gold looks none too appetizing.
The petrified Egg and squishy lizard look a little chalky.
The CornPops site is totally wacky!
Happy St. Pats.
Maybe the "Irish" cake was really a birthday cake for "Trish" that got recycled? :)
People will use any excuse to get a cake... and look how they're rewarded!
CW1 looks like it was a shamrock-birthday cake for Trish, and when it wasn't picked up, they made it "Irish."
@ Kelli--J'aime" is French for "I like" or "I love", as in "J'aime CakeWrecks". "Mon ami" is French for "my friend". Just had to set that one straight.
And I do believe that the rainbow cake is one of the scariest things I have ever seen...at least, among things claiming to be edible.
Yeah, agreeing to the trippy quality of the CornPops website. It reminds me of the "fruity oaty bar" commercial in Serenity, which is to say, Japanese... on crack.
Someone at Kellogg should be fired for that website! (needless to say, the cake decorators should go too!)
I went to the Corn Pops website and got an obnoxious enough message telling me they want to force me to use Expletive Deleted Flash (TM) to view the site, having turned it off by default.
I can only imagine what the Expletive Deleted Flash (TM) animation is like.
The thing that intrigues me more than anything else about the CornPops website is that it apparently had to load four different times before I could get to the content.
WTF is up with the corn pops website? It's the best web advertising I've seen.... almost as good as the chupa chups website.
lmao at the cornpops.
Is it just me or does it look like someone peed all over them? ewwww gross, I don't like my cakes shiny and wet looking.
Congratulations for the bloggies!!! Aren't you proud with not one, but TWO prizes!!???
You deserve it!
I've often wondered why my son is so fond of Corn Pops. I've also had many moments where I ponder why he has so much darned energy and where the heck he gets it from. Thanks for solving my dilemma!
Apparently, Corn Pops have some form of speed in them, and the Web Site designers eat ALOT of 'em.
Since most of the people I know who eat Corn Pops are adults with "the munchies" on a regular basis, the website seems just about right.
Wow, that Corn Pops website is crazy. I had to leave before finding out if the boy and the monster would indeed become BFF's because the flowers with the mouths were truly frightening.
I hope Jamie did have a happy Patrick because happy Patricks are make the world go round.
LOL at anyone believing those are actually Corn Pops. They're butterscotch discs.
At least when they ate some of it, it made it square and centered. I bet it looked even worse.
And Kelloggs fired Phelps for one lousy bong hit? Somebody was smoking way more than that when they made that Corn Puffs Site!!
Oh my gosh, that corn pops site was INSANE!! I was stunned into silence and couldn't stop watching. Crazy.
I think those corn pop looking things on that cake could be butterscotch candies. Did they melt though? So yuck!
Thanks for the laughs!
You should see how weird the Corn Pops site is without Flash installed. My work laptop usually ruins all of my fun, but seeing that creepy Corn Pops website sans flash really cracked me up!
Borbu -- what you ask for a shot of when you've have too much bourbon.
Hey, how are you doing? Hope all is well
Yuck! The "corn pops" one looks like someone opened a can of corn and dumped it on the cake, corn juice and all!
AAHHHHH! Why did you make me go to that Corn Pops webstite? Freaky
That corn pops web site is the best! Thank you mushy corn pop gold cake.
That website seems a little excessive for breakfast cereal, doesn't it?
Finally, truth in advertising!.....
.....I mean the 'Irish' cake not the Corn Pops Cereal Website.
The day I see mouths on a daisy eye is the day I put myself in the nearest mental institution. Yikes!
I feel for that Boy'o Jamie however it could have been worse....
....he's birthday could have been on christmas!
(Come on imagine it for a minute, green and red frosting, Santa.....yet there it is....yes, Jen there could be more worse things that a Irish birthday cake wreck)
Happy St. Patty's and...
Peace,
Clueuin
P.S
istam: when you stammer to much. I stam, I stam, ah forget it!
Funny no?
Anon @ 2:49 - so glad to know that I'm not the only one that realized they were butterscotch candies. I thought that maybe I was hallucinating since everyone else seemed to be seeing Corn Pops (which look totally different).
Still can't believe the Happy Patrick Jamie cake- so pathetic.
Cornpops' site looks like it might induce seizures. Talking lizards just scream mind-altering recreation, somehow.
Someone over at kelloggs is seriously deranged!
"Lizard Crushed by a Petrified Egg" has brightened my day. I could almost hear the heavy THONK! as the egg made contact.
Wow, mushy corn pops, a cake trying to be Irish.......this is one boatload of FAIL.
This post was worth it just for the link to the corn pops website. They must be trippin'.
I think your post belongs in the Blog of "Unnecessary" "Quotation Marks" - I mean, did you intend to question Alec Baldwin's capabilities as an actor (gosh, not that I'm blaming you... I mean, c'mon he IS a Baldwin after all!!)
I think the "corn pops" are actually butterscotch disc candies covered in butterscotch or caramel.
Talk about a sugar rush!
OMG! That pop's site was hilarious! I enjoyed going to Japan and being on a crazy show. Haha!
pigs with flappy wings .. now i've seen everything (i hope) ... that site is JUST SO BAD - i'm really, really, really glad i didn't have the sound on when looking at it .... oh, and the cakes, fantastic wrecks, as usual.
oh my effing god, the corn pops site is like an acid trip. my dog is barking at the screen.
I just about had an epileptic fit looking at that website...
LOL someone had a one track mind when they did that Happy Patricks birthday cake lol
I just went to the Corn Pops website and it like someone ate one of these cakes all by themselves and then while on a sugar icing induced hallucination created the website. The rapping lizard was just too weird.
I was reading your post when my laptop battery died. (Just as I clicked the cereal link) By the time I hade gotten the power cord, I forgot just what I was doing and when the machine reloaded (sound before screen) I was totally at a loss for the strange sounds my new laptop was making. I may actually have been relieved to see that sight as scary as it is.
wv: warally - "Ah warally let my kids eat sugah cereal."
Whoa- what's with the drippy corn niblets at the end of the rainbow? Totally gross.
I was definitely just mesmerized by the cornpops website... wow. just wow.
Irish...I hadn't seen the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
wv..entic...an ent with a tic...it's late and I have no imagination..sowwy.
If that first cake was sold around Notre Dame, I wouldn't see an issue with it. Since I grew up there, I don't even see what could be wrong with the cake! Go Irish!
I saw my first CCC today. It looked like a green blob. I think it was suppose to be a shamrock.
I personally thought that the comment on the "tv star" in quotes was the funniest part of this whole entry! :D
Corn Pops website...definitely on CRACK!
That website hurts my brain
Corn Pops definetly are unique in their website design.
Oof, those cakes are ssooo not appetising.
Sorry for the bad spelling
Mae
@Karen: If you click the link, you'll see the commercial Jen's referring to, in which Alec Baldwin uses air quotes when he introduces himself as a "TV star".
That Corn Pops cake could use a little blue pill to perk it up a bit
Wow yummy...;D
Happy Patricks Jamie..lol..
This cakes are really funny..;D
Thanks for sharing it to us.
I hope you could visit my blog too..
Okay, so I went to the Corn Pops website, and I agree with everyone- they must be on something. However, they discontinued Michael Phelps' contract because he was smoking pot. Where is the sense in that?
Okay... I just went to the corn pops website and all I can say is uhhhh..... wow?
Entertaining link -- think my kids will enjoy it. I'm worried about it causing seizures, though, hehe
Love the Wrecks -- love em, love em love em!!
loved the corn pops site : ) little worried about my kids watchin it and having seizures, though... haha
I miss Corn Pops, we don't seem to get them in the UK anymore. However, the website? What the fracking frack was that!?
CornPops is just the trippiest site ever. It doesn't look official at all. Who loves the hamsters?
I was going to say something about the cakes, but that completely fabulously insane Corn Pops site wiped it out of my brain. Flying pigs? Corn Pop bees?? I don't know, man. But I like it.
i think the pops man needs to use the bathroom, heck, his jigging made me need to go!
and the line about no pops for komodo dragons, classic!
Ok, THAT is a site purely created by someone on acid.... but seriously, have you ever checked out the SPAM website?! Holy crap...
Seriously, that Corn Pops website has jumped the shark...or the squished lizard under a petrified egg...
My husband took a picture at the grocery store two weeks ago, but we didn't get it sent in before St. Patrick's Day. The bakery evidently thought anything could be made a St. Patrick's Day cake by adding a plastic pot of gold to the top--hence a St. Patrick's Day black forest cake, a St. Patrick's Day apple tart, etc. Bizarre.
I went to the website. What. The. Hell.
Comments from my son (4 yrs old):
First pic: That's a St. Patrick's Day cake!
Second pic: That's a St. Patrick's Day Turtle cake!
So atleast the point is coming across...
After seeing the Pops! website, I finally understand how so many of the cakes on cakewrecks came to be. Is it just me, or does anybody else think the same tokers made both?
Also, I feel like this comment submission form should be screenshotted and submitted to failblog. I would if I wasn't tired and in a lazzy mood. Can you guess what word I have to retype to prove I'm not a computer? It is "leption." A word that, according to the dictionary, doesn't exist.
So apparently the same tokers ALSO made the cakewrecks blog. LOL.
benjamin
o my gosh that is so halarious the gold is melting
