Getting Your Just Deserts

They asked for a Flash-themed birthday cake. You know, that show on the CW?

Yeah. That one.

They got this:

So... A++ on really nailing those colors.

Speaking of which, Brittany M. asked her bakery to write, "A+ 100!" on her cake, either to celebrate good grades or a really obscure math joke.

Anyway, since that's all she wanted, Brittany asked them to write it pretty big.

You knew this was coming, didn't you.

Last weekend it dropped below 80 for the first time here in Orlando, so to celebrate:

MUTANT BUTTERFLY!

Or is that a worm dragging potatoes?

Either way, I think it gets the point across: YAY FALL.

And now, the ugliest Christening cake... of all time:

This was clearly decorated by a hung-over, one-eyed, peg-fingered pirate prone to hand spasms and angry tirades about how much he hates cake. And decorating. And children.

Though judging by all the little scuff marks, he may have let the parrot help.

And finally, the submission that made John shout with laughter and then insist on reading aloud to me:

Tina F. writes,

"I was overseeing a conference of over 170 priests and deacons, and ordered 2 cakes for dessert. When asked how they should be decorated, I told the baker, 'no decorations - just make them look like dessert cakes. On the chocolate maybe some chocolate drizzle, on the carrot cake maybe little carrots and sprinkles with nuts.'"

I get the feeling the baker only wrote down the first part of what Tina said, though, because here are the two cakes she received:

Give it a minute.

Oh, what a difference an S makes.

Thanks to Samantha C., Brittany M., Melissa F., Laura, & Tina F. for not "deserting" us.

Oh hey, if you're shopping online this weekend - which really is the wisest choice with Black Friday crowds - remember to check out my Amazon shop front! I have lists of funny gifts and clothes and toys and such that might help inspire you for those hard-to-buy-for types:

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?"

Billy the Beak:

::silent pecking::

The Weasel:

::more silent pecking::

The Mountain Doorstop:

"HOLD THE DOOR"

The Speakeasy Squad:

"We're on a mission from Squad." 

Joey "Ruffle Butt" Malone:

"You ruffle my feathers, I break-a you face."

One-Eyed Willy:

AKA the hatchet bird.

"Lucky" Bakewell:

....

....

....

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.
