'The Existential Possibilities of Finding Lucky Charms in June While Wearing Rubber Galoshes and a Fez'... yes. So very yes.
It may be dangerous saying this...but does the coffee cake look like a black iced king cake to anyone else!?
This entry was so amazing! It's making me want to change my painting practice and go into cake decorating. Such passion! Such verve! Such...uh...the words escape me.... :)
Is it just me, or does it look like they put gold leaf on some Mounds candy bars for that one cake?
Some real modern "artistry" going on there (and yes, I really mean those quotation marks). :)
The coffee cake with icing looks like it was created in 1997, left in the cupboard under the sink, and just rediscovered now. A side benefit of this is that the bluish mold might be penicillin, so it'll cure what ails you!
wv: dorts Who were the dorts that created these masterpieces?
Whoa! Does the last one just have spent coffee grounds sprinkled on top?
I love the Japanese artist Noh Wei. She was mentored by R.U. Kiddingme.
The "names" of the artists are fantastically clever! Bravo
I kinda like the golden poo bug cake
Today's cakes just leave me baffled?!?! WTF?! What's even more surprising is someone is actually willing to PAY for one of those 'things'!!
wv: dediv - I would dediv it weren't for my morning coffee to get me going!
LMAO!
That second one looks like a banana slug dressed up for a birthday party.
Fezes are cool.
I wear a fez now. Fezes are cool.
Good grief, each one got progressively worse and worse! Now I'm sitting here wondering if anyone actually BOUGHT one!
Joques Onyu--simply genius!!!
I'm pretty sure the things on the gold leaf cake are actually pieces of Almond Roca.
. . . Which, yes, are unfortunately shaped, but delicious.
@Katherine S
No, that's just you. The rest of us think it looks like poo.
(Thanks to the rest of us for letting me pretend I speak for you. I will now stop that.)
If you put 1000 chimps in a room with 1000 tubes of frosting and 1000 cakes for 1000 hours, one will eventually recreate the works of Shakespeare (or maybe Bronwen Weber.)
The remaining 999 cakes will look like these.
Muria, I have no interest in starting an EPCOT, but since you asked a direct question -- they look like almond roca to me. On a side note, I will never eat almond roca again. Perfect aversion therapy.
WV: mayssd -- they really mayssd up these cakes.
That first "cake" is labelled a "Message Cookie" - what type of message is it trying to send?!
W.T.F.?!?
Seriously. That's the only thing that kept going through my mind. The commentary was awesome though.
And I think "The Existential Possibilities of Finding Lucky Charms in June While Wearing Rubber Galoshes and a Fez" should be the title of your NEXT Cake Wrecks book.
Those titles were hilarious! I kept laughing as I kept reading. Then I came to "Texas 6.66 million". My boss just looked over at me funny - must stop laughing like a rabid hyena amped up on Mountain Dew/Monster energy cocktails.
The "fez" comment made me snort ... and the coffee cake made me gag. All in all, a wonderful post! :)
I am laughing out loud this morning! Thanks so much!
These cakes truly qualify as abstracts!
I think the "Grilled Cheese Electric Chair" started life as a bouquet of flowers... but I could be wrong.
The second cake could be used as a sex-ed visual for the lesson on STDs. The little squiggles are viruses. Tell me what they are attacking and you pass the quiz.
I think Katherine S is right. That is a king cake, but it had a different color scheme before Mardi Gras. Now they are letting Mother Nature do the decorating. If you're wondering if it's the same toxic mold they found in houses after Hurricane Katrina, yes it is! Good eye!
Oh My!!! That is all... (0:
So, I never post, but, I couldn't pass up the word verification today:
wv worses: I can't figure out which of these cakes is worses!
I'll just bet you always got A's in Creative Writing. :)
I'm usually at work when I visit your site, and it's hard to keep from howling with laughter! Today was especially brilliant. Thank you.
I'm sorry, but any legitimate installation has at least one piece entitled "Untitled XII". That said, I'm prepared to enter the bidding war for "Fez"...
Coffee Cake with icing...bahahahaha best art gallery ever! I'll take them all for the low price of possible indigestion and a bottle of tums. :D lol
I think this is my favorite post! Very well done. =)
Are those Almond Rochas in No. 4?
I cannot say this enough, but I want a fez. Fezzes are cool.
Where is "Ceci n'est pas un gâteau"?
Oh, wait, they all are...
And will these keep like Twinkies, so my investment will rise?
Wow... I actually went to art school, and while there were talented people, there were also a lot of hipsters who created shite EXACTLY LIKE THIS. In fact, I think they may have used the same names for some of their pieces!
Sadly, I have seen worse pieces of 'art' while wandering through the Tate Modern..(yes Damien Hirst, I mean you!)
I hate abstract art O_o
I want 'The Existential Possibilities of Finding Lucky Charms in June While Wearing Rubber Galoshes and a Fez'!!!!
Wait, there are ranch flavored bugles?!!!
Fezzes are cool!
~Blue
I love how knowing that the gold-wrapped things are Almond Roca doesn't make them look any less like poo.
Actually, "Texas" makes sense to me.
HEY.....FEZZES ARE COOL!!!!
As are Bow-ties..... ;)
love this!! Thanks for the great laugh this morning!
modern art just isn't what it used to be, eh?
Grilled Cheese Electric Chair is my new hipster band name. Copyright trademark!
ok, ok I get it-you had a bad experience in Texas. But do you SERIOUSLY have to keep harping on it? The humor is really starting to wear off.
As someone who is supposed to be getting a distinguished degree in the field of art history, I shouldn't be laughing as hard as I am. But this is payback to all of my colleagues in the contemporary fields who told me my field wasn't "art."
Anonymous @ 11:20,
It looks like the state of Texas.
Lighten up.
john
Fezes are cool.
hee
Only true artists could appreciate these cakes for the beauty they posses. Ok...I tried to get that out without laughing but it didn't work.
Couldn't pass up the WV: I think that last cake would give you mursa if you even touched it.
What? No Doomsday cakes? Or are you saving those for tomorrow?
WV: restpu - The gold leaf cake looks like the "artist" took a restpu in the middle of decorating it. SWEET!!
Apparently, I'm not the first to say this, but it was the first thought that popped into my mind.
Fezzes are cool. (Stetsons, also.)
Oh, CW Team! Today's post was so great! Love!
I think these cakes are the result of "Take Your Child To Work Day". Okay, I hope they are....?
In defense of Almond Roca....okay there's no defense. Wrapped, unwrapped; they look like poo. Heavenly, delicious piles of stale...*hurk* Oh, good. I no longer crave candy....of any kind. Or cake...or anything chocolatey....*hurk*
I now have a strange desire to play Q-Bert. Or Tetris.
Finally: Liar! Liaaaar! That is not a coffee cake with icing! We all know it's Royal heritage!
Andrea
Fezzes are cool
Well, this was just waaaay too funny today -- on so many levels...you've out done yourselves, and thank you for that! It's taken me 30 minutes to stop laughing enough to be able to comment...
These cakes are priceless (well, actually you've priced them....)and the comments even more so!
That second cake...maybe it's me, but I think it's a little suggestive...well, actually, a lot suggestive...nah, it's downright dirty.... And the last cake looks like something that if you see on you...or from you, should make you call your doctor immediately....
wv - puzzath: what pseudo-high-art cakes have...
I was going to complain about how the Japanese name looks Chinese or Korean and the Swedish name French. Then I understood No Way and Yucky Gross. Joques Onyu is still a mystery to me. Anyone wanna help the non-native English speaker?
WV: cyclami. I don't have the language skills to see what it might mean, but it looks like a word in some language.
Anu,
Jokes on you.
I didn't get it at first either.
john
Satanic Texas Quilt Cookie FTW!
I have ALWAYS wanted a cake with gold leafed poo on it. it just says "classy!" how wonderful to know that some talented baker can do that!!!!
ahh, let your "artistic" side fly. Gods help us.
'Grilled Cheese Electric Chair' would be a great band name. Just sayin'.
Oh yeah, and "mixed media"? Hilarious!
Yes, Common Nonsense,they are Almond Roca. One of my very favorite candies, which I ask for every Christmas, but never get...
My late husband used to refer to them as "cat turds" since without the golden wrappers they are even worse, they are brown and rolled in crushed nuts ala cat litter!
To think someone might have bought these!
(On the "Your" issue...we saw a pack of invitations at a huge party store the other day. "Your invited to..." You would think a printer would have a spell check, if not the baker!
@Anu - from a native American-speaker (hate to call it English)- I did not get the "yucky gross"! I could not make my brain stop pronouncing the first name "yoo-ky". Thank you for clearing that up!
Art attacks, indeed. I laughed so hard I ended up sort of choking, especially when I came to "'Texas' $6.66 million". And I'm sitting here in my office deep in the heart of Texas writing this comment - the humor is definitely NOT wearing off- it's getting better!
Ooooh, Rorshach cakes! :-)
What do you see?
Wonderful commentary -- love the names.
I loved fezzes long before Dr. Who. I am the coolest.
Oh, and the gilded poo/almond roca made me think of stuffed grape leaves. Wouldn't gilded dolmathakia be fabulous on a cake?
No?
OK.
Isn't it fun to say "gilded dolmathakia," though?
As an artist who has dedicated my life to creating works to challenge the ignorant, I am not surprised by your hateful comments. Not everyone can be open minded enough to open their minds in an open way to the true beauty hidden in these works. These "cakes,"as you call them, are a true and honest representation of the multi-cultural, inter-faith, chocolate-covered, beauty that can be found within each and every one of us. Your comments can only be a result of self loathing. I'd loathe you all, too, but I'm too open minded and gifted for that.
Anonymous @ 11:20:
Seconding John. It's also known as a 'running gag'. Seriously.
And of course, the alternate title for many of these pieces would be "Using up the last icing in the bag because why waste any?"
SuBee,
[Slow clap]
john
Dear God! Someone please call the EPA! That last cake has a horrible case of BLACK MOLD!!!!
ACK! I meant "its" Royal heritage. Maybe I should take up cake decorating....
Andrea
Wicked awesome. I swear you could shellac those and give them to MOMA in New York and they would hang them. Trust me I was an art major. There are Modern artists that do that shite all the time.
wv: unograme - What you call Uno after have one too many. "Hey get out that Uno Grame, man, I wanna play."
I would like to purchase 'Texas' please, but I feel we need to negotiate the price a bit. I just feel like we can skim a cool million off.
Thanks!
Ava :)
SuBee (12:57)....O...M...G....best comment of the day. Made me literally snort when I laughed.
On another note, in regards to the Almond Roca--Anyone else not able to eat Almond Roca because a co-worker once referred to it as cat poo rolled in kitty litter?.......
No? Just me?.....
Okay, never mind. (skulking away)
It just keeps getting better! I don't know which is funnier- SuBee's comment, or John's response.
Kudos all around! Bravo! Brava!
OMG I laughed SO hard at the titles you gave those "masterpieces". I snorted.
the comments are equally good. I can't stop snickering!!!
Man, I nearly died when I saw the Texas one! I seriously almost fell over laughing! SO FUNNY!!! The entire post today was just absolutely hilarious!
But...I LIKE grilled cheese...
Loved the Texas joke. Keep 'em comin'.
-A Texan.
(A Dallasite, no-less - I live in the very city that nearly caused your demise!)
i think you may have outdone yourself with this post!
The first thing I thought of when I saw the second cake was tapeworms... which made me think of Flukeman from X-Files... And given Flukeman's obsession with toilets and sewage, you'd think he'd love the golden poo cake.... There's got to be a joke somewhere that can tie all of these together but I can't quite think of one :)
i wear a fez now. fezzes are cool.
So funny!
WV: Matess: On Gollum's visit to Australia he learned a new phrase: "G'day Matess!"
Ranch flavored bugles made me choke on the moon pie I was eating, and Grilled Cheese Electric Chair made me spit it out all over my keyboard. A novice CW reader mistake, I know, but would it be ok if I give my IT guy your number? I don't think he's gonna understand why I need a new keyboard unless he speaks to you directly.
The final cake is a fitting tribute to that seminal art film - Disney's "The Black Hole."
Wow! The "coffee cake with icing" must be frosted with used espresso grounds? Sheesh!
'The Existential Possibilities of Finding Lucky Charms in June While Wearing Rubber Galoshes and a Fez' reminds me of "Ode to a small lump of green putty I found in my armpit one summer morning". And would probably have a rather similar effect to Vogon poetry, actually... ;-)
WV: hyleelv - the squeal one makes while strapped into a Vogon Poetry Appreciation Chair
hahahahah! This one made me LOL here at work :)

The joke is out there.
I want to believe.
Thanks to the CW team and (most of) the comment-taters for the laughs. Laughs help.
I plan to eat Almond Roca while wearing a fez. In *Texas*, where the humor never wears off (which ought to be the new slogan of the Texas tourism bureau). Because America.
@Katherine S: Could be. I detect signs of deep-frying as well, but I have another theory, to which I will get.
Prints of most of these can be found in a collection compiled by art historian W.T.F. Izzit, a pseudonym he took on hearing most people's reaction to modern 'art'.
Note in passing: @SuBee, I second John's... er, that is, I agree with his response.
#4 (not slacking, just short on time): Doesn't look sanitary, even apart from the resemblance.
#5 Ah, the bygone fads of yesterday: cakes that make some kind of sense, food safety... I have seen these berries (?) on ornamental plants and always assumed they were poisonous. Maybe embedding them in frosting makes them safe to eat. Yeah, that's the ticket!
#6 The ever-popular cake-blot test. Does it mean 'therapy needed' if you can tell what it is or if you cannot? I can't keep that straight.
#8 It does look like Texas.
#9 Needs beads and some (literal) gold leaf. Maybe grab those off #4. In the interest of truth-in-labeling, I would have crossed out 'icing' and written 'mold'.
wv: hated. Ya can't make this stuff up.
Ok, first of all, I nearly peed myself I was laughing so hard. Joques Onyu... OMG. However, I think that Do Dude was using Almond Roccas... which in no way forgives the application but at least the hope is that something truly tasty is in the... do do... that didn't come out right... oh dear.
VW: embili I am embili-vibably sorry for that last poop joke.
I don't even know what any of those are supposed to be
SuBee,
That was amazing! :D
You ruin my working life because I sip coffee while I read this blog and then spit it on myself so I miss a lot of afternoon meetings because I cant be seen by clients in a dirty shirt.
Hysterical!
I'm sending my check for the $11.2M for the "Do"! I'm so excited that my stomach kinda hurts, I think I need to "Do" :P
I'm tempted to comment, "Now I've seen everything," but the world hasn't ended yet. Ummm, wow....
You, Jen, are me hero. If you only knew the week I've had.... suffice it to say you never cease to turn my frown upside down!! THANK YOU!!
The fourth one looks like it is an homage to cicadas. Or is it just me who sees bugs everywhere?
Wow! I can't get through my day without your sarcastic wit! You have no idea how much the daily humor means to me. Keep up the excellent work!!
My 2-year-old son saw the second cake and asked, "What is this?" After looking at the entire post, he demanded, "More cakes!" You have a new fan. :)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first one is actually pretty! Or would be, if you couldn't see the brown cake crumbs.
What. In. The. Heck. Those "cakes" are "ugly."
wv: billyc (buhl-ICK). The sound I made when I saw those cakes.
Those Lucky Charms = styrofoam packing peanuts.

Lost my appetite...Mmmm... Have an idea... I would print this pics and put on my frezzer, so it would prevent me to eat junk food... Thanks!!!
@zacharyk: that is like one of my absolute favorite moments of doctor who (i mean, other than watching rose and captain jack totally destroy a bunch of daleks in the stolen earth) because someone had to do it, and who better than river bahahahaha! (and, yes, i said fezzes are cool as well earlier (but not as cool as bowties... or stetsons... or... from last saturday.... bunkbeds......))
wv: serse: are they serse about this freaking art?!?!?!?!?! coming from an art major, come on, really. sersely? (i think i will say serse from now on instead of serious when i text lol)
The second one looks like a double headed dingdong with sperm swimming around. Jen, you are hilarious.
To the CW Team:
You are genii! This post is spacey-wacey! Also, HHGTTG and Doctor Who? Can't beat it. Also also I love how there are so many Doctor Who fans in the US! Hailing from Scotland, here =D Silence will fall... yet another paradox - it cannot while you are making the world destroy their keyboards! Wreck on! _l,,l <<*rock hand*
Kind regards,
Pink Peril
Just have to say it--over 100 posts and no one has pointed out that the "lucky charms" are rabbit shaped marshmallows made just for Easter. Obviously, finding those in June, with or without a Fez, is a feat!
@SuBee: (who posits:)
"Not everyone can be open minded enough to open their minds in an open way to the true beauty hidden in these works."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I see your point, dear, but it's been a long day, and I am simply too tired to do THAT much OPENING!
If that *beauty* wants to stay hidden, I say, let's jolly well LET it.
And to this:
"...multi-cultural, inter-faith, chocolate-covered, beauty that can be found within each and every one of us."
I put forth my own philosophy of life (no thanks necessary--keep the change):
"Life is, and always will be, a crap shoot; a multi-colored, inter-breeding, pheromone-covered melange that can be found within each and every back alley ...especially when the *heat* is on (or in). HAVE YOUR PETS SPAYED AND NEUTERED!"
=^~.~^= >^0.o^<
That first one is actually kind of pretty. In a "naughty tentacle" sort of way, to be sure, but it IS kind of pretty...

'Grilled Cheese Electric Chair' number is goin off at $27.5 million, right? NOT that he aint worth it dont get me wrong. He'd better be! But the odds sticker itsself says $14.97!!!! Whats up with that, huh? You know sumpin i don't know, and its buggin me. My bookie told me go with the big money entry, and I did. Man...I take a bath on this somebody's gonna wake up with a big hunk of
"Grilled Cheese Electric Chair" in their bed with the frosting all over everything.
=^-,-^=
That last cake could be a tribute to the current season of Doctor Who because I fell silent just looking at it. Then I hope never to remember it again.
Does anyone know if I can get "Bikini Slasher Kill Zone 4: Revenge of the Waxers" via Netflix or Hulu?
@SuBee- you win the interwebs for the day!
@ViolaNut- you win the contract for the hyperspace bypass!
@zacharyK- bless you!! I thought I was missing a joke and now I realize it's just that I missed an episode.
@Craig- it's still slacking.

Sorry guys, but I actually liked "texas"
Well composed.
But an ugly cake.
There has to be a photoshop filter for it.
HILARIOUS!!! This made my day! A friend and I used to go to a modern art gallery just to laugh at all the craziness passing for "art" - the best ever experience being a "special exhibit" that was up a separate flight of stairs, and when we reached the top, we found the entire room full of identical black canvases... We got several dirty looks from the security people when we felt the need to document the craziness with pictures and a video...
By the way, the "artist" of the Texas one totally fails, because it does actually look like Texas. (I was thinking like airplane view where you can see all the fields...?)
Summer Daisies for Janet - Pls explain!
HUH????
Oh man I don't think I have laughed so hard in ages. Noh Wei lmao... oh those cakes really are priceless..wrecks beyond all imagination.
The captions are particularly brilliant today. And that they can apply to much of what's in more than a few modern art museums and galleries is even better. And the word play with the names-- well, I'm very glad that I learned long, long ago to never ever EVER eat or drink anything while reading your posts. (@Lori, in my case it was having to explain the morning trying-to-hide-the-guffaws. Now the whole team hopes for wrecks every time we order a cake. Sadly, the Costco near us is too competent).
And SuBee-- that was a brilliant post. The commenters are in particularly fine form today!
Texas-- nope, we're not tired of the jokes. Plus it does look like it!
Did Janet follow up those summer daisies with an ax-murderer interactive installation?
Tape worms getting attacked. yup. The squiggles are starting to look like people or something. and I do have to say I rather liked the first cake. It's kind of like some real art pieces of seen, and liked. oy vey, I've gone off the deep end. Or seriously need some sleep…
WV "motthi". I don't know what's the motthi with some of these wreckerators
"The Existential Possibilities of Finding Lucky Charms in June While Wearing Rubber Galoshes and a Fez" would be the absolute greatest idea for a new Doctor Who episode ever (if for no other reason then to see a scene where The Doctor ponders the many mysteries of Lucky Charms while wearing his bowtie, his fez AND a pair of yellow rain boots)
P.S. Speaking of Doctor Who, it looks like that last cake was involved in many extremely brutal fights with The Silence.
And my family wonders why I refuse to pay for a store bought cake!
I'm I picking up some subtle Doctor Who referencing there? Or is that just my over active imagination??
But really. how Bow ties and fezzes be mentioned in the same post without Doctor Who coming to mind?
These cakes are out of this world. So pricy...
I finally got "Joques Onyu". Jokes on you! Ha, Im so slow today.
As another Texas, I still thought that one was funny.
One word for the first cake: Leviathan.
The first 3 look like some sort of intestinal worm to me... :P
Grilled Cheese Electric Chair...great name for a band, right? And I LOVE the artists' names!!!
i....i can't even guess what they were going for on those.
Bah ha ha... "Texas" Brilliant.
@Anonymous 3:00am
I mentioned your comment to my husband and he got quite enthused about the idea. He thought it would be a perfect intro--you know, where the Doctor is galloping around in a field with yellow galoshes and his fez on, muttering to himself something like "Why, they aren't REALLY lucky charms, they're just cereal!" and then the actual adventure begins, and you never hear what he was doing in that field. Something to tickle the imagination. I think maybe he thinks too much about Doctor Who.
Brilliant post! Your best ever! Brava!
~physicsmom
Did people actually buy these?! That coffee cake once looks awful! Yuki Grohs lol.
I didn't know coffee cake was cake with coffee grinds sprinkled on it.
Huh.
the green splotch actually reminds me of the frog my hubby ran over in the driveway the other day...
Oh good Lord, why does the second cake look like an STD?
I am quite familiar with the work of Mr. Wei... you might want to check out the stylings of his Second-Cousin-By-Marriage Noh Avail.
