“Golden, Ripe, Boneless Bananas, 39 Cents A Pound. " ..... advertising misprint segment on Jay Leno


So, would the Monkey's Uncle be banana bread or banana cream pie?

Jen said...

Pick me! Pick me! :)

Peg said...

I would love ANYTHing from you! How about just a page from the calendar? Then there would be more winners! I just want to be a winner :)

Megan W. said...

I would love a calendar!!!

Devoted reader. Wanna WIN!!!

Amy Johns said...

yes, definitely Seinfeld-ish

I'd love to have one of your calendars!

Melody said...

Uncanny!!

Gayle Choo said...

Poor monkey.

Seinfeld is a barrel of monkeys...I mean laughs...

Janet said...

uuummmm..before I scrolled down to the Jerry face, I was trying to figure out if it was going to be about the raised monkey tail and possible bathroom humor...oh, but now I see the joke....

Emmie said...

The best part about the series was when the group went to jail.

My name is Michelle. said...

Too funny!

Unknown said...

What are the two beigey bits in the middle? Is it supposed to be a baboon style butt? And if so, why is it visible from the front?

Kayleen said...

That's fantastic! Can't wait to show my bf who still thinks seinfeld is the greatest show ever!

Lessa said...

Proof of evolution!

Carmen8180 said...

Hey Jen! Love your blogs... always funny! I try to look for cake wrecks near me but I guess my bakers are just too boring!

Unknown said...

Calendar, book, pins, whatever! I love it all!!!!!

Are they related?

LilKim said...

OOOOO.....I'd love to get a copy of your book!

Anonymous said...

I'm still attempting to discern why there are two monkey photos in my post, and why you reference Seinfeld.

:-D

I'd love a book, if only to teach my granddaughter how NOT to decorate cake. In 5 years. She's too young to read this blog yet. IN the meantime, I'd get some really good laughs just to keep my health. Laughter being the best medicine of course, and add Cake... TOTAL awesomeness.

One ugly monkey!!

Max Martin said...

oh yeah, I would LOVE to win a book!!! Because you rock, even when you aren't giving things away!

sonya.wiley said...

For the love of all that is good and holy... PICK ME!!!!!!

...thank you.

tnw75 said...

I have seen the new calendar at Borders. It is pretty neat and I like the different format. I would love a free one.

Darling One said...

I went I get to eat cake while I read the blog! Thankfully this one is not wrecky.

Jonna Olson said...

Man-headed comedian monkeys!!!

Amanda said...

That is one heck on an ugly cake.

Marsha N. said...

I would love your book or calendar! You make me laugh every day!!

Kaaren said...

Hello!

Jenny said...

Should not have been eating a banana while reading this...I'm just sayin'

Lauren said...

Haha, I love that monkey and his Seinfeld face! I would totally LOVE a calendar!

The resemblance is uncanny...

kirpet said...

Potassium for the win!

Christine said...

The resemblance is uncanny.

WV typedd: that would have been so much funnier on the pasties post

Pamela Joy said...

The ears and hands look like bananas as well. Weird.

Corinne said...

Before the pic of Jerry loaded I was certain you were going to comment on the monkey's masculinity. Either way, pretty funny!

Laura P. said...

or as friends of mine are fond of saying, "I'm not saying, I'm just saying..."

Meg said...

I'm not understanding the limbs on that monkey.

Is the hand holding the banana in the middle of his arm? Is that other arm (or leg?) attached to his tail? I'm not even going to go near the appendages in the middle...

Yikes. Bananas.

want a calender :D
plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz

Miss Megan said...

Oh dear. So many reasons why I never really liked Seinfed. I've made my peace with Kramer, though.

Annette said...

That is one very scary cake.

*shudder*

I already have a copy of your book - not all fancy and autographed and everything though... but I'd love a wall calender :) I can mark prime pumpkin carving time on it! ;)

esmeralda said...

Like twin bananas in a peel!

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, BANANAPHONE!!

OceanEyes117 said...

Scary monkey :-( But yay for the chance to win the cakewrecks book!

Gemma Clasing said...

Ooh! I'd love a book! Pick ME!

Isabella Rd said...

LOL, I'm not sure which one I find more freaky.. (and fingers crossed for the give away)

Anneke (Mudhooks) said...

I am trying to figure out how the this monkey's anatomy...

The banana-holding hand seems to be jutting out from just below the elbow, one arm seems to be coming out his backside, and his "legs" are mere stumps.... unless one of them is his penis and his chest is somewhere around his ass.

He looks very happy despite his deformities.

Ironically, the code word to post this comment is butoc...

Melanie Withrow said...

I really want the book!

Brenda said...

I would go bananas for a book!

E said...

Yikes! His cafe is creepy enough, let's NOT put it on a CCC!

Free book AND autographed? Yes please!!!!

Unknown said...

"Hi, I need to order a cupcake cake for my kid. Yeah, he really likes monkeys. I don't, but I think Jerry Seinfeld is kinda hot. What can you do for me?"

Marlo said...

Bookity, book, book.

Darcy and Sharon said...

Monkey see, monkey do!

Lori W said...

I wouldn't have guessed it without the picture comparison, but I do see it.

I'm also sort of wondering what the deal is with the fudge line and the two all tan-frosted cupcakes. Given the positioning, I find it a little disturbing.

Jasry said...

Both pix are scary! Beware banana-wielding monkeys! And banana-wielding comics, especially those who aren't very funny. *snark*

Love the blog, and Epbot too! I read every single day and love to share my favorites with my friends. I'd love a calendar or book, too!

Allison said...

That's just disturbing.

I would love to win, since I never win anything. In fact, if you don't pick me, then no soup for you!

Canadian Emily said...

Can canadians enter the contest. I would love the book. Or the Calendar but the book would be great!

Reyna said...

What's with the monkey-boobs?

Tina (sk8bettyT) said...

Maybe the dingo will eat the cake wreck. Otherwise, no soup for you!

This would be my comment of the day. :)

NaomiKnight17 said...

All I can think now is: Why is Jerry Seinfeld posing with a banana and smiling?? WHY.

blah blah said...

Here's hoping this comment wins.
*tries to decorate comment like a "winning comment"* ... *fails*

I'm going to resort to begging. PLEASE!!!!!! OH PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!

Kristy V said...

I want to eat eat eat eat eat apples and bananas

GalFromAway said...

Scary resemblance, that is.

I'd love a calendar myself. :) Love this site!!

SoupAddict Karen said...

And the fact that it's a CCC makes it an extra smack-down on JS....

jay said...

Thank you that I'm not the only one thinking the monkey has a rack! :P

Jennifer M. said...

Could it be a cupcake representation of the "master of my domain" episode? What with that banana and all...

Anonymous said...

oh my. calendar? I would get NO WORK DONE that first day of each month. Yep. I like :D

It's really hard to look at that monkey's nose and NOT have my mind go to the gutter...but maybe that's just me?

Rachel said...

All that Jerry Seinfeld needs is the tail. Or does he already HAVE one?....lol!

thepeach115 said...

Whoah... luv Seinfeld and see the uncanny resemblance.. but those cupcakes make me uncomfortable to even look at!
ABsolutely love Cakewrecks and wanna' a signed book AND a calendar!
Hugs and Blessings ~

"I mean, they're yellow now but then they turn brown. I don't get it. You know, fruits need to have more color-friendly skins if they want me to eat them. I can't do all the work. 'Oh, hurry up and eat this banana because in two days it's going to turn black!' That's too much pressure. Fruit is stressful!"
That's my Seinfeld.

That's crazy! Pick me! I'm a stay at home mom of 2 boys and this is my only link to the outside world!

I'd loved to have a calendar. Thanks!

Disturbing! (The CCC, not Seinfeld!)

Marlene said...

Too funny!

SL said...

Definitely a heck of a cupca-wreak :)

MamaChristy said...

Jerry! I miss Jerry.

lilhoek said...

What does a monkey say? "Ooh ooh AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Mcarr31 said...

why is there an extra cupcake coming out the top of the monkey's banana hand? just another reason to Dislike CCCs!

Ginny said...

You know who that monkey also looks like? Betty Rubble. Look at it... look at it... see?!

ValGal said...

I can't think of anything better than a Cake Wrecks calendar! Will you also be selling them?? Who needs a calendar full of pictures of your child up at your office when you can have one full of wrecks???

Robin said...

What's the deal with that monkey's big pink boobies?

Amy Guskin said...

The only thing better than cake is cake on a CALENDAR!

WV: derre -- a very small derriere, obviously on someone who isn't eating a lot of cake.

Anonymous said...

pick me IN ALL CAPS

Kristine said...

No, it's not just you. But what the heck are those things on the underside of that monkey?

Susannah Banana said...

Jerry Seinfeld? Maybe...

Screech from Saved by the Bell? FO SHO.

Jingle said...

Wait...now why does the monkey have boobs, exactly? I'm confused. No...for reals.

Good eye on the Seinfeld doppelganger :-)

He's always look sorta simian to me... not that there's anything wrong with that!

Hey, and the resemblance is topped off my the likeness in the reverse toupee thing they've both got going on. Coneheads?

Jerry says: "But I don't wanna be a monkey!"

This monkey is um...different...not that there's anything wrong with that.

RJ said...

My fav quote from Seinfeld is, 'is your head smooth? Can you fly? Then you can be a parakeet.' I don't know why.

Kelly said...

It's a perfect match. Give it to Jerry for Festivus!

Thanks for a chance at your giveaways this week!

Strangely, that is better done than many deliberate portraits.

O.M.G. my 7 year old sister just read this post over my shoulder a nd said "Why has that man got a cake of himself with boobies?"

Hey, I love that Seinfeld cake! It reminds me of that episode...yeah... that one!!
Pick ME!

Melissa said...

That's a bit creepy...and nope not just you!

JM said...

That monkey makes me nervous!

lindalou said...

Too bad he's not wearing a brown sweater. Otherwise it's pretty close resemblance. OK...I don't recall Jerry having a tail. I think George might have?? (Name that movie)

janitabean said...

Congrats winners!

Alexis A. said...

Wahoo for Cake Wrecks books & calendars!

Sarah Walker said...

I think the monkey may be a bit more handsome...

Hannonle said...

Seinfeld jokes are lost on this Seinfeld-deprived-Brit :(

I need a shot of USAwreckage to make up for it *batts eyelashes in a cute way*

and if that doesn't work, can I bribe you with cute British accent or the promise of Prince William**

**or anyone British you lust for.

Kassia S. said...

that wreck is a perfect likeness!!!!!! lol. the wreckerator should get a prize!

princess jen said...

Next time they need to be sure to get his good side :)

Isolder74 said...

Is it just me or is that monkey trying out for contortionist of the year?

Lets see hip hind end is facing front and he's looking at me front the same side and he feet are also as if his legs are pointing out towards me. And what is happening with those arms and that tail!?!

Look at that smile...he must be doing it on purpose!

Erin said...

Love me some Seinfeld and some Cake Wrecks. Thanks for the Friday laughs!

Sarah Kristine said...

please enter me in your contest :)

Diane B. said...

I'm not sure what part of the monkey it's supposed to be, but those are frosting boobs! However, the frosting banana was fairly well made. Not so well made that it makes up for hurting my eyes...

Unknown said...

I always knew Jerry was a monkey. Also, yay contest!

Anissa said...

I can't tell if that banana is frosting or plastic...and that is one ugly monkey!

Jonathan & Jennifer said...

What's the deal with the monkey's white parts?

KrystineM said...

Maybe it's just me, but that monkey has a NSFW banana, too.

Stoich91 said...

Ahahaha...that is SO WRONG. :D

ditto said...

I would love the calendar to hang in our bakery! A gentle reminder to always check your work! None of us suck at decorating, but spelling is another thing!

SuBee said...

Festivus is soon approaching and I would love a CW calendar under my pole ;)

tomreeswilliams said...

Currently there are 266 comments on here. It's very unlikely you'll pick this one.

Green said...

So here's the deal. The Christmas before last I bought my friend the Cakewrecks book, which I didn't give to her until her birthday. But that's beside the point. I had this book in its wrapping for quite some time having leafed through it once. Staring at the wrapping. Thinking over and over again about unwrapping it and keeping it for myself.

So she unwraps this book at her party, squeals, then pushes it over to the side to busy herself with other activities. And me, longingly, looking at the book. I haven't heard from the book.

I don't know how it's doing. I assume the book isn't receiving my letters as it's not writing back. I mean, how hard is it for a book to pick up a pen and a postcard and send notice?

In fact, I'm a little worried for the book's safety. Or, at the very least, its emotional stability. But at any rate. I miss that Cakewrecks book so much. And would love to somehow be reunited. Even if it meant sending a completely different Cakewrecks book to me. Or a calender. To a lesser extent.

It's like bananas. In some way. And Jerry Seinfeld in another.

The end.

TisforTonya said...

I used to like Seinfeld... and I used to like Monkeys...

now? not so much

(and I need a copy of your book to give me fits of giggles when my internet goes out!)

halesbales said...

I would love a calendar! We already have a signed copy of the book. Well, its a book sticker that Jen signed and i affixed to the inside cover for my boyfriend last Christmas. He squealed like a 5 yr old gettin a bigwheel! Its been a huge hit amongst guests. And by "hit" I mean crying fits of laughter. Thanks for the good times!

Unknown said...

Would love the cake wrecks book! Thanks for the chance to win one!

"See, the thing of it is, there's a lot of ugly people out there walking around but they don't know they're ugly because nobody actually tells them." -Jerry Seinfeld quote
Perhaps the same is true for CCC. CCC atrocities exist on this earth because no one told them they're ugly! lol. Just saying....

Oooh ooooh Oooh pick me!!!!

Happy belated birthday John!

kiggs said...

Hahaha oh my goodness.. I'm going to see Jerry Seinfeld do standup tomorrow night and I don't know if I'll be laughing because I find him funny or now I'll have this mental picture of him as a monkey holding a banana!!!

Kathlyn said...

Thank you so much for making me laugh . . . I can't tell you how many days I've come to your site just to try and cheer up a little. and holy creepiness that monkey is way too close to Seinfeld!

Jen B said...

I think winning a Cake Wrecks calendar will make my cold go away. I hate the first cold of the season. Maybe I should eat a banana.

Lily Marie :) said...

Oh dear.. thats a little scary...
maybe its better than just having a straight up Banana CCC?

or maybe not...

anyway. your book would be number one in my book collection. and I have a LOT of books..

Nanasniftynitch said...

I LOL at this one.. The resemblance is uncanny. HA ha ha...
As for the strategically place flesh colored blobs I was thinking lower than boobs. But it just doesn't look right for anything. (snicker)

I would be honored to win anything. Thanks for the drawings.

Tracy said...

I would love some Cakewrecks goodies :D

Late said...

*crosses fingers* MUST WIN!!

MissNay said...

About three times a month I have a day made of sheer fecal matter. Then I come here and the diarrhea washes away and I realize what a gift my life really is.

Cake Wrecks like an e-baby wipe.

Andrea said...

Ha :) Cute.

Stay at home Muse said...

Hahaha Seinfeld. That makes the creepiness of the monkey's anatomy even creepier.

MJ said...

Eh, I don't see the resemblance. What I do see, however, is a monkey CCC trapped in a too-small cage.

Sheri G said...

I love Seinfeld! I love this blog too! Hope I win!

Kathryn said...

It's a fairly well done if they were going for a human face on a monkey's body. Which in and of itself is frightening.

Margie said...

ROFL! That is too funny!! I WILL be sharing this!

Paige said...

Very scary resemblance! Except for the boobs and tail, of course.

SweetB said...

Would love to win your book!

Btw, that was a pretty good Seinfeld you did there...

Sandy said...

FUNNY and CREEPY! I thought it was awesome you found a photo of Seinfeld with a banana!

ekerstng said...

Someone obviously asked for that picture to be made into the ever-dreaded CCC.

Kathy in Oshvegas said...

There are just sooooooo many cupcake cakes around these days!

Jennifer said...

So, does the comment have to be funny? Or is it a random kinda thing? I seriously would love a book or a calendar, but I can't think of anything super-witty to say, lol.

Teresa said...

LOL - how DO you recognize these things? ;)

Gail said...

Is that a frosting banana? is that a fake banana? Regardless, it makes me uncomfortable!

Unknown said...

Lol that is too funny! The mouth is perfect >.<

(first time poster, long time reader, facebook fan, and I've been known to make wrecks myself!)

Stef likes cake said...

I can't think about Jerry Seinfeld without thinking about a guy I once dated who was obsessed with Seinfeld. Every time we hung out, he made us watch it while he talked about how brilliant it was. Eh, it was a fun show. I enjoyed it, like a lot of other people. But I wasn't ready to commit to it for the long haul.

Oh yeah, and a book would be awesome, to help me get over the memory of that time. ;)

Unknown said...

Yay for bananas (and free books!)

Who do you want to BE? said...

That is rather a close resemblance.

WitchyMel said...

Ok.. the WV is

mantrie - as opposed to monkey...

mantrie is Jerry Seinfeld holding a banana.

Signed copy of the book? I'll pose with a banana if you like! :)

err... I mean.. hold a banana.. fruit.. in my HAND.

never mind. [blushes]

Anonymous said...

Wow, there actually is a resemblance!

The Cheerful Mommy said...

I'm confused... is the string of three cupcakes to the right a limb or is that "monkey" having a poo?

Jess B said...

It sort of does look like him! Or maybe a mix of him and Kramer...hmm.

Tami A. said...
