Two buttered bells,
And a choking hazard in a tree.

Two buttered bells,
And a study on the Heimlich for me.

Four day-glo Santas,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a bunch of crap in a gross tree.

Four day-glo Santas,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a plastic coated nasty icing tree.

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,

Eight I-think-he-hates-me,
Seven snowmen melting,
Six pounds of icing,

Four Santa blobs,
Three whipped ghosts,
Two buttered bells,
And a beer.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Eleven candy canes that kinda look like Slimey the Worm,

Ten piles of nothing (You FORGOT?!),
Nine kiwis riding,
Eight runny egg yolks,
Seven snowmen melting,
Six pounds of icing,

Thanks to Michelle, Amanda C., Kyle C., Cheyanne, Joel S., Georgia T., Erin T., Monica K., NWM, Monica B., Jana S., & Jon D., who have been counting down the days 'til they could endorse a fine product like the 2011 Cake Wrecks Wall Calendar. [nodding earnestly] It's true. Take my word for it. No need to ask any of them. Or even check to see if they are, in fact, real people.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  7. pure genius! Thanks for the laughs!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  12. And a beer.....In a treeeeee!
    Where's my Touc?

    ReplyDelete
  13. That was fantastic! (And I'm going to be humming that tune all day...)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Awesome! I was just teaching my 5 year old about the traditional version of the "12 Days of Christmas" yesterday.

    I definitely kept reading and loved how you kept changing the lines--far more entertaining than the stodgy original.

    I think my all-time favorite version would be the Bob Rivers Comedy Corp version.

    ReplyDelete
  15. You are too freakin' funny. Well done. I love this site.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Well this is a wee bit frustrating. I didn't have the means to participate last year and was rather excited that I do have the means this year. I set up and loaded my Paypal and everything. But the 4 charities you've given so far don't have Paypal options :( and I don't exactly have a credit card.
    Maybe I should just pool the dollars I would have spent on the others when you DO put up a pay-through-Paypal link? Or maybe I've been blind and you've actually put up a Paypal link I didn't see? Well? WELL?? o_O (that's a meaningful look, doncha know) (ps. i love you site!)

    ReplyDelete
  17. This was the best post ever! We sat and sang the song as we read down the page.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Brilliant post! Have you been working on that all year?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Please please pleas get Jen (#1) to sing this! Only she could do this beautiful tribute to Santa being waterboarded in icing justice.

    wv. rertas: the sound a small child makes when choking on the first cake.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Thanks for the Canadian Bob and Doug shout-out with the beer.....a true Christmas carol classic!

    ReplyDelete
  21. LOL this is great. But, Jen, I'm confused. On that last cake, did YOU cross out the one flower to make 12, or was that really on the cake. Please tell me it was the former. Please?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes I'm still reading! THIS IS AWESOME! You rock CW!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, and PS, nice shout out to the Bob and Doug version of this song!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Musically excellent, funny, a great callback to the yoopers, and some awesome wrecks. I give it two thumbs up.

    ReplyDelete
  25. FA-LALALA-FABULOUS! What a great post! I was laughing so hard by the time I reached five super fun guys...takes me back to middle school science. My 3 yr old son saw the candy cane cake and said "Mommy I want a spider web cake like that!" I told him they where candy canes and he just said "Oh" and walked away. LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  26. #6 is the reason I shouldn't read Cake Wrecks at work. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

    I think the "reindeer" look like Zero, Jack Skellington's dog.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Was I still reading? I sang the whole friggin thing!

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Slimey the Worm cake is awesome!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. BEST HOLIDAY SONG EVER!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. The funniest and best ever post.
    Thank you for a good laugh after a very long night at work.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bravo! Bravo!!! Can #1 record this for us to add to our Seasonal Collections?

    And those reindeer/thestrals kinda look like Zero, Jack's dog in Nightmare Before Christmas...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love the "fun guy" bit! Unfortunately, that's my dad's favorite joke...

    And Slimey!! I've nearly forgotten about him!

    Fabulous post, as always. Made my day so much more fun!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hilarious, guys! And thanks for the Bob and Doug MacKenzie reference. This post made my day and put me into the Christmas spirit(s)!
    Merry Christmas, eh, hosers!

    from a Canadian Fan

    ReplyDelete
  34. HaHaHa...this is my new favorite holiday song! I saw your calendars in the mall yesterday. Walked past the booth and thought "oh, that should be a cake wreck" and it WAS. Sweetness : )

    ReplyDelete
  35. I was compelled to sing the entire post. Not sure how it turned out...

    And PLEASE tell me the "beer" that appeared in the first day spot was a reference to the Canadian version of this song!

    ~Jenn H.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I sang every verse! (Even tho I couldn't pronounce one of the 'shroom ones)

    Love. This.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Argh, stupid typo. I meant to say "I love your site!" Although, I must admit I DO love you, site...*wink* erm...yeah...*clears throat*

  39. Sandy C also in SoFlaDecember 16, 2010 at 10:24 AM

    This was wonderful. Please make sure it is in your next book! This rates right up there at the top with your recent Star Wars/Trek et al post!! Truly epic!

    ReplyDelete
  40. The strange white creature on the kiwi one resembles Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas to me... which doesn't make any more sense.

    ReplyDelete
  41. That's great! (And yes, we were still reading!) :) Happy Holidays to both of you!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hey! You dropped the ball (or flotsam tree) on #8 - I was all psyched to see what you would come up with next! Of course we were all still reading, please give us some credit as loyal followers, as if!
    And amazingly, #10 doesn't load on my computer ?!?

    ReplyDelete
  43. The ones with the kiwis? Sorta look like greyhounds. Or Zero, from Nightmare before Christmas. Which sorta fits in with the Christmas theme. Sorta.

    Jessica

    ReplyDelete
  44. those raindeer/thestrals looked like the Star Wars robot soldiers...you know what I mean, I'm sure. From the first episodes, not the last ones. Any body with me??

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh My God, I desperately want a birthday cake covered in cute little Slimey the Worms! Look at his happy little face!

    ReplyDelete
  46. As a child of the 80s I must thank you for the shout-out to those denizens of The Great White North, Bob & Doug McKenzie. Sadly, I had to go to YouTube to show a younger colleague the B&D version of the song because she had NO idea what I was talking about. Kids today...

    FANTASTIC post!!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I just spent the last 2 days at a fungal conference (no joke) and so I especially enjoyed the fungi jokes.

    ReplyDelete
  48. PLEASE..... record this song and sell the MP3 somehow to raise more charity funds! I'd spend a couple of bucks to be able to play this on my iPod!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Love the "and a Beer" reference :) Now I must track down that version of the song someplace.

    ReplyDelete
  50. That was amazing. Good job with the Harry Potter reference and "a beer". Your wit was not lost on me :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Your references to Slimey, Harry Potter, and particularly the McKenzie Brothers were particularly amazing. Thank you for making my Finals Week less horrible!

    ReplyDelete
  52. WE'RE NOT WORTHY!! hahahahaha This the BEST!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Made me snort-laugh! Really good example of why I even bother to get on the internet these days...

    ReplyDelete
  54. "And is anyone even still reading this?"

    Yes yes YES!! Loved every creative word of it.....and the beer!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I sang this to my kids this morning.
    They LOVED it.
    Me too.

    ReplyDelete
  56. If it's OK to post a link here, this is an animated version of the 12 Days of Christmas, Canadian style.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hilarious!!!

    And who among the readers was NOT singing along?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Best. Post. EVAH!!!

    You are so my hero. I would say shero but that word has negative connotations for me. Maybe we'll just go with SUPERSTAR(!) instead.

    And of course I was singing it in my head the whole way through. Awesome. You rock my world.

    ReplyDelete
  59. You seriously outdid yourself! That was hilarious! I actually sung the whole thing in my head as I read along. :D (PS. Loved the Bob & Doug reference!)

    ReplyDelete
  60. WOW - what an excellent post! Your dedication to ruining Christmas songs parallels only that of wreckerators' dedication to ruining Christmas. Well done!

    WV: latorbef. A cross between an alligator and a cow. Considered a delicacy in many cultures, it's beef with a bite.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I was actually singing along by the time I got to the Eighth Day. Thank you for the morning giggles!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Audio ... we need audio!!!
    Priceless.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Angalalim,

    So here's the thing: First Giving doesn't work with PayPal. Which is stinky. However, First Giving allows donations as low as a dollar and they are relatively cheap. As a contrast, giving a dollar through PayPal costs about 32 cents which is also stinky. At this point, I would wait until we do Charity Water, which allows PayPal, and give the whole $12 there. Or you might be able to go directly to the charity websites though I don't think any of them accept less than $10.

    Confused yet? Yeah, me too.

    Thanks for being awesome everybody!

  64. "...Eight Runny Egg Yolks..." AND an amoeba! How could you forget the amoeba! Or maybe it's a slime mold...

    WV - noney: 9 out of 10 Guy Fieri's agree, these wrecks are NONEY!!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. *wipes away the tears from laughing so hard* Oh, THANK you so very much for this!

    I agree. Thestrals all the way. And the fungus jokes - totally took me back to high school...in a good way.

    ER on speed dial...and a beer...salmonella...

    Seriously, I'm going to be thinking of this and laughing all day.

    ReplyDelete
  66. You had me cracking up through the whole post! Well played Jen! Well played!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Cool! Another song for "Cake Wrecks: the Musical!" This was awesome!
    I must admit that I thought the mushrooms were cute- they look like meringue cookies. But the Yule log they were on, Yikes!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Love it! I had to sing through the WHOLE stinkin' thing in my head!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think this calls for another one of your delightful music videos, is what I think.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Seriously funny stuff. :)

    ReplyDelete
  71. That was hysterical!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I was totally singing this the entire time I read the post. I loved how the tree and mushrooms kept changing. :)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Completely awesome! Thestrals, slimey and beer! I second the request for an audio version for my iPod--that would be on my most-played list. :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. And a beer...in a treeeeeeeeeee!!!

    Bob and Doug for the win.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hahahaha!!! that made my day- and I read to the end!!
    Go Bob and Doug and your BEER!

  76. Jen, you are brilliant.

    (So is John, who I assume had a hand in this genius work of musical inspiration?)

    I loved all your synonyms for "crap in a treeeee...." Happy Chrismakwanzakuh!

    ReplyDelete
  77. You guys are killing this month!! I now have another favorite post:)

    ReplyDelete
  78. That. Was. Way. Too. Hilarious!

    #1: Christmas light bulbs??? Why not just put a strand of lights on it and plug it in?

    #2: Patooie!

    #3: Lets see...snowmen on yellow snow? Looks like the one on the left is holding one of those swizzle-stick swords...O.o

    #4: It's The Situation in a Santa suit!

    #5: A yule log with mushrooms. O.o

    #6: Santa is supposed to get stuck in the chimney, not a tree! Maybe he'd look just as funny "stuck" in #5.

    #7: They almost look like peeps.

    #8: Ewwwwwww.

    #9: I don't know what they are, but they've got a tree growing on their backs. I think if I drink enough beer and eat enough of those mushrooms I'll understand their meaning.

    #10:

    #11: Slimey!

    #12: I bet it's a CCC (patooie). Oooh and they used ribbon too.

    wv: dayindi: Too many of those 'shrooms will make you dazyindi head.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I love your blog but never comment. You got me with the beer (...in a tree)!
    Thanks for all the laughs!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I read on a reader, but made a point to get to the site to comment and say... I almost just peed my pants. Very clever and good and even better that you left out 10 and gave yourself a beer.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Excellent post! I sang along the whole time. When will a recorded version be coming to iTunes??

    I have to wonder out loud if the maker of cake #5 has ever seen a proper bûche de nöel. That thing is a giant blob of poop-colored icing with a jar of sprinkles dumped on it.

    wv: aithy. My stomach was a little aithy after ingesting some plastic flotsam from cake #1.

    ReplyDelete
  82. JEN!!!!! Your cleverness knows no bounds. I am all squishy inside over your Bob & Doug reference, eh. Geez, I am totally craving a jelly donut...

    But what I thought was REALLY funny, was that I didn't just READ the post, I SANG it to the tune ALL THE WAY TO THE END.

    Oh yeah, and special props for scratching out the 13th poinsettia.

    You make a lot of people very happy, I hope Santa is extra good to you this year!

    ReplyDelete
  83. This is my favorite post ever. I really like how things were reworded so it didn't get redundant.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Among all your many hilarious posts, that was surely one of the very, very best! Laughed till tears were running down my cheeks and the dog was looking at me funny.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I giggled out loud all the way through it....and now I'll have the song stuck in my head for the next four days. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  86. And a beer... Good job MacKenzie Brothers

    ReplyDelete
  87. I appreciated the Bob & Doug McKenzie reference! That's my four-year old's favorite version of "12 Days of Christmas."
    Jennifer

    ReplyDelete
  88. My favorite post of the year. And that's saying a lot. Truly LOL with my daughter all the way through. Thanks for that.

    ReplyDelete
  89. That was pretty amazing. I actually really truly did laugh out loud at that one. Awesome job, y'all.

    ReplyDelete
  90. snorted on the slimey worm candy cane cake....BRAVO!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Every single person on the internet should go to your site everyday for their slice of humor. It would insure a least one good laugh no matter what was going in their lives. As a loyal Canadian fan I did read/sing to the very end and enjoyed the changes. You have inspired me to find a charity in my home town that I could give a few bucks to. Merry Christmas to you and your fans

    ReplyDelete
  92. This is a hunch, but I'd bet that the baker for the 9th day of Christmas was feeling more like the Nightmare Before Christmas because they could almost pass for Zero the dog.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I not only read it, I was singing along with you! Very very funny. My big guy Sam is also extremely good with funny lyrics to well-known songs, and I still laugh after 6 years of marriage. - Jan

    ReplyDelete
  94. I knew I shouldn't have started trying to skip the "repetitions" in each verse. You caught me there!

    On an entirely unrelated note, the actual creator behind Sandra Lee's disastrous Kwanzaa and Chanukah cakes has confessed: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/denise-vivaldo/kwanzaa-cake-sandra-lee-hanukkah-cake_b_797165.html. It's well worth a read for an insight into Sandra Lee's world, where truth turns out to be even stranger than fiction, and for the real reason why she stuffed marshmallows inside that Chanukah cake.

    ReplyDelete
  95. SOOOO FUNNY!!! I laughed (and sang in my head) through the whole thing! You are hilarious! I have to tell you though, as funny as those mushrooms are, I actually made some a while back and they are DELISH!!! Meringue goodness. :)

    ReplyDelete
  96. Best. Post. Ever.

    Well done!

    ReplyDelete
  97. The worm cake better be spice cake.

    wv: Innati -- the signs are there, cleverly hidden in the cakes. Find them before times runs out.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I think this has to be one of my favorite posts ever, and that's saying something! The thestral part was definitely the best, followed by the "fun guys" line. Nerdy humor!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Jen, you are amazing. Where I am left speachless, you are able to go on, and on, and on. I'm so glad - otherwise I'd miss out on crawling back on my chair each morning, LOL. Norine

  100. My wife and I got Married at Best Friends Animal Society, at the Angel's Landing amphitheater, in Kanab UT. It is very beautiful there. We donate to Best Friends every year.

  101. The Slimey Canes made me LOL. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Jen & Co. please oh please oh please can we have this in a recorded audio format!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Bahahaha one of your best yet :)

  104. Coo-roo-coo-coo coo-coo-coo-coo! And a beer (in a tree).

    ReplyDelete
  105. I think this is the best one yet!! I totally sang along, and, yes, I was still reading the post.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Your best blog yet! And I like Slimy the worm! :)

    ReplyDelete
  107. I liked when you switched to the Bob and Doug McKenzie version... "And a Beer."

    ReplyDelete
  108. Oh I love it! I was singing the whole time. You have to record it and post it, or else I will!

    ReplyDelete
  109. This is even more hilarious because my husband is doing a "12 Days of Christmas" gift-giving thing for me this year. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  110. I sang the entire thing! I loved the crossed-out-due-to-nonconformity poinsetta. :) Awesome!!

    ReplyDelete
  111. Love it. Absolutely LOVE it. Kept killing me with the last line of each verse. Great job Jen!

    ReplyDelete
  112. I am positive those Kiwi were riding Zero the ghost dog. Just not sure why!

    ReplyDelete
  113. That was hilarious! Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  114. absolutely hilarious. Made my day butter! I mean, better!

    ReplyDelete
  115. debating still: do I like more Day 10? or the comment "is anyone still reading this?"

    ReplyDelete
  116. Thanks for this Christmas present! 'Twas Festively Fantabulous!

  117. Bravo!! Pure genius!!

    ReplyDelete
  118. This is the funniest thing I will read this whole holiday season, without a doubt. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Totally hilarious. I'm cracking up. This is just as good as the 12 Pains of Christmas. The only thing better would be if you guys actually sang it.

    ReplyDelete
  120. LOVE IT. Really, the fungi puns alone would have done it for me, but this was insanely awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  121. O.K. number nine sure look like kiwis with chicken nuggets from a Happy Meal..maybe I am seeing it wrong

    ReplyDelete
  122. Bob & Doug, Sesame Street and Harry Potter? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  123. It sure would be swell to get an audio track to go alongside that HILARIOUS post... go on, it's Christmas!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Thank you cake wrecks! A good chuckle. I especially loved the "beer" referencing Bob & Doug McKenzie's album Big White North. At least I hope that's why it was there...
    For those of you who don't know what the Canucks on here are talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2oPio60mK4&feature=related

    ReplyDelete
  125. OMG hilarious! Laughing out loud at my desk. The first tree with candy in it just kept getting better and better. I am going to re read to laugh again. One of my favorite!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  126. When do we get the video with Number 1 singing along!?

    ReplyDelete
  127. Best submission EVER! Love the boug and Doug 12 Days reference. Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  128. AHHHAHAHAH!!!

    So hilarious, "I think he hates me"

    ReplyDelete
  129. That is the best one so far. Words fail me how awesome your blog is! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  130. Now I have B&D's "five golden tuques" running in my head AND I have Sandra Lee cake mystery solved. My day cannot get any better!

    ReplyDelete
  131. So funny. And the Slimey the Worm visual was awesome (as was the crossed-out thirteenth flower).

    ReplyDelete
  132. Too funny. Btw I purchased your calendar whilst I was on holidays in Australia a month ago.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I got the Cake Wrecks calendar and I laughed so hard I cried....Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  134. Not only was I still reading, but I sang it.. OUT LOUD!

    ReplyDelete
  135. I love this song again, THANKS!

    ReplyDelete
  136. Way too funny! I have to share this with lots of people now. The words had me laughing hard. :)

  145. Hilarious!! I love the new (ever changing lyrics). Amazing you had cake samples to represent each number (except for 10) and the modified 12 (with the crossed out 13th flower--brilliant!)

    never mind the plastic flotsam choking hazards on the tree--do I see glass ornaments and light bulbs??

    this is definitely a favorite post. Slimey the worm! love the cake mockup. Slimey looks so happy in the icing.

  146. YAY! A Harry Potter reference for me and a Sesame Street reference for my 2 year old! Who, by the way, shouts "CAKES!" every time I look at your blog with her... I'm truly concerned... Either she's a genius or I make really REALLY ugly cakes!

    He thought this post was hysterical.

  150. ROFL! One of my favorite posts yet. I love the "beer" line and then the "piles of nothing". My favorite, though, is the reference to the "I'm a really fun guy" joke. LOL

  151. The Santas look like they are sitting on sprinkle covered toilets...and the kiwi/reindeer thing.....still scratching my head.

    ReplyDelete
  152. You caught me on the 10. Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  153. I don't have time to see if others said this, but... DON'T THOSE LOOK LIKE CHICKEN NUGGETS ON THE REINDEER, um, THINGS?! What in the world is going on there?

  154. Personally, I prefer the ten days of nothing! Those other days were sure to give nightmares and a trip to the er.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Hahahaha!

    When my 2 year old daughter saw the first one, she said "That's a yucky cake?"

    Yes my child.

    Also, I did read the whole thing. Nicely done :)

    ReplyDelete
  156. Meringue mushrooms are a perfectly traditional way to decorate your buche de Noel (along with toasted coconut "dead leaves" and powdered sugar "snow"), and those are well made. The cake itself, on the other hand, is a disaster...

    ReplyDelete
  157. Yes yes I read it all too!!!
    And now i have it going through my head, probably for the rest of the day, thanks bunches....
    you guys are great!
    This is one of my favorite sites every, you always bring a smile to my face even when I am having a tough day-- THANK YOU.

  158. My guess for day 9 was "Battle Droids", but Thestrals work too!

  166. Love how you worked Bob & Doug McKenzie's beer into that one! (ignore the cheesy pictures, but their full version is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACApP94ei14)

    And I had Jen #1's voice in my head as I read/sang it :)

    I will never look at candy canes the same again. And you seemed to rather ignore the yule "log" but rather enjoy its decorations ;) I, too, liked how you kept changing the lines... VERY amusing.

    PS What did that poinsetta do to you? And... are you sure it's fake. Given they're toxic, I sure hope so!!

  167. Ten lots of nothing!

    I can't wait to find someone recording this thing for real.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Love the thestral reference. Love the slimey reference.

    The "thestrals" actually look like Zero from Nightmare Before Christmas... with what look to be chicken nuggets (as a previous commenter commented).

    ReplyDelete
  169. This post is why I read cakewrecks. You are hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  170. This must be your best one yet, how fun, I love it! You have outdone yourself! Now off to donate to the charity....

  177. I couldn't see #10. Was it taking a break at Epcot? Or was it the font?

    ReplyDelete
  178. Your mentioning of Thestrals and Slimey the worm prove, once again, that you guys are supermegafoxyawesomehot.

    Oh, and the kiwis are obviously riding on Jack Skellington's dog, Zero.

  179. Were there still skins on those kiwi slices?!

  180. So freakin' funny!
