I'm Telling You, "Turkey Mob" Is Gonna Be A Hit

I'm putting together my own Thanksgiving play, minions, because what else is there to do today besides eat and argue politics with our relatives?

Now I know it's a little cliche, but I'm aiming for a classical period piece here like Downtown Abbey, only starring old-timey gangster turkey cakes.

Let's meet the cast!

 Bugsy McWattle:

"Do I amuse you?"

Daddy Long Legs:

"You want I should stomp 'em, boss?"

And of course, The Godfeather:

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse. Seconds."

Happy Thanksgiving, minions! And remember, I have literally thousands of cakes that look like wangs in the Cake Wrecks archives to lighten the mood today. Solid family entertainment!

Thanks to Cat B., Dave & Alison, Caitlin D., Ursula S., Grace S., Meryl M., Mishaela B., Cathleen M., Darcienne, & Brooke B. for playing along.

I suppose this is also a good time to remind you there's a Cake Wrecks holiday book, which makes an EXCELLENT stocking stuffer thanks to its small-ish rectangular shape.

Wreck The Halls

Bonus Fun Fact: if you find a copy where the yellow splat in the lower right corner is a sticker, that's because we originally misspelled the cover, and the sticker is hiding our shame. No one ever fixed it, though, so I think reprints might be shipping without the sticker? Bahaha! Really, it just adds to the wrecky glory of it all.

When A Wreckerator Calls

"Psst. Listen."

"I know you're scared."

"But I need you to listen to me..."

"The call..."

"...is coming..."

"...from INSIDE..."

"...the bakery."

"Gooble!?"

"Oh, never mind."

"Also it's Thanksgiving. Good luck!"

Thanks to Ursula S., Karyn D., Ken K., Nickincam, and Tammy T. for helping us understand why so many turkey cakes look terrified.
