aughghgh!!!!! is that real???? what the H E double hockey sticks is that thing? I'm about to puke up my breakfast now...omg omg omg omg omg thats a HEAD!
oh and FIRST! I shot gun the corner piece of cake with the whip cream flower!
OMG that is disturbing! The eyes are following me...
This decorator has some serious skills. Although, perhaps an occupational change to mortuary cosmetologist is in order?
Oh Cripes on Toast! That is awful, disquieting, unsettling, disgusting, eerie, ghoulish, macabre, nasty, ominous, scary, sinister, spooky, and down right icky. (Thanks thesaurus.com) But the decorator haz some mad skillz! I think this is worse than the baby cake...only because the eyes are following me around the room!
... I'm having trouble believing this one. It looks too real!
I think if I were at this receiption, I would spend hours starring at this ... thing, waiting to catch it blink!
That is creepy...the eyes are seriously just creepy.
Do you think they could do like an Amy Winehouse version and call it a a Coke Head?
Whoa, that's gonna haunt me badly tonight. I think I'd rate this as one of the best wrecks you've posted.
Yeesh, it's a bit early in the morning for such shenanigans.
I am sooooo tempted to ask for my (un)favourite politician's head on a platter... but I won't hijack your blog by naming names!
Firstly, as an artist I have to say that whoever did the airbrushing on the face did a marvelous job...
BUT! There is NO way I could ever eat anything that was staring at me! Muchless red velvet with jam filling! *shudders* The groom definitely had a sick sense of humor.
Um.... jumped the shark much? I say this with sincere love of Cake Wrecks, but you're trying too hard. The early wrecks seemed effortless, genuinely funny. Now, it's kinda like watching Robin Williams on a talk show.
"Just when you thought it was safe to cut into the helmet cake at your wedding, it starts talking and winking, and now you've crossed over to the Twilight Zone!" ~"Rod Serling"
Looks like someone photoshopped their face in.
What. The. Hell.
Is that the most realistic air-brushed frosting in history, or is this a joke, with an actual dude sticking his head through a hole in the table and wearing a fondant-covered helmet???
I like the mortuary ref by anon above--could be a useful replacement for what would be a closed casket ceremony... Want an open casket? We can offer cake!
I wonder why the transverse plane through the head was deemed necessary? What was wrong with the groom's chin?
That HAS to be photoshopped. How in the hockeysticks can the face look that real?!?
Double-U
Tee
Eff?!?!?!?!?!?
I would like to hear the thoughts of the person who modeled for this cake! Truly one of the most bizarre you have posted yet!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the CakeWrecks...Seriously, like most disturbing cake yet.
Worst part? The sort of forlorn expression on the guy's face. 'Oh, sure, go on, eat my head, it's just my lot in life.' It'd be like eating Eeyore, or Marvin the Paranoid Android. Though I'm not sure using a cheerful photo would have been better, actually. "Sure! Eat my head! Cool! This'll be so fun!!!"
There's no way this can be real. No way. It's got to be PhotoShopped. And who puts a guy in a PINK HELMET?!
This is disturbing on many levels.
that is truly disturbing
wow
Wow.
That is extremely impressive, mind-boggling, and disturbing all at the same time.
I'm waiting for the day someone sends you one of these with a pic of them cutting it up.....I wonder if anyone actually goes that far?
Question; even if it weren't a head, how does one cut a spherical cake?
How about thos eyebrows!? Mmmm.
argh!!!! that head cake is truly disturbing. I mean... it looks like a real head. On a plate. Who'd want to even cut into that thing?
I'm not sure which I'm more disturbed by now- the infamous meat cake, or this... (shudder)
looks as if the face is photoshopped on.
I mean, the helmet doesn't have that kind of realistic detail.
I'm disturbed. The face on the cake looks so real, as if some guy is actually sticking his head up through the table into the helmet. It's probably one of those edible sugar sheets that you can print a picture on to.
Still oh so creepy...
i think the face's faded out colors are due to some serious embalming skillz on the part of the "cakemaker." oohhh, what a great name for a new horror movie character!
It must be an edible image. I don't have any idea how someone would make the eyes that real, otherwise. I think edible images of people are creepy anyway, this one goes the extra mile. Why would it be so bad just to do a plain helmet. Would people not understand that it was the type of helmet that the groom wore without seeing an actual representation of his face in it? Ick.
I think that's a real head. He looks kinda sad about being decapitated.
Oh my...I truly believe you've been punk'd again. That face appears to have been photoshopped into that helmet. Not even an edible image would look THAT realistic.
Look carefully at the lower left edge where "face" meets helmet. Something is amiss.
Love your site, and take it as a huge compliment that folks will go to extreme lengths to get you to pick their submission. :)
Wow, whose wedding was this? Salome's?
Salome to Daddy Herodias: Daddy, I know you've already spent $50K on my wedding...but what I really want is John's head on a platter.
Daddy: Well honey, you know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you. Consider it done.
Oh my God! WTF? This one's really really disturbing. At first, I thought there was a real head on the plate. Sick, very sick.
Creepy idea, I will not do people or animals, but you have to admit, the skill of the decorator shows!
This is just wrong... wrong, wrong, wrong... I'd love to meet the person that thought this was a good idea!
Such great cake skills, so little judgement.
Exquisitely executed (pun intended), but WHY?!?!?!
Words cannot describe the feeling of sickness I have in the pit of my stomach. YUCK!
I kept waiting for it to go Hut!Hut!
Oh Dear God! What the hell is that thing? It rivals the life-like baby cakes.
that has to be photoshopped.
You know, edible ink and paper CAN be put to better uses. Good God.
It also kind of looks a little bit like the person is emerging from the table, maybe like a wedding of the living dead kind of thing... ew.
I gotta give the decorator props, the face looks SO realistic! Creeeeepy! I agree, perhaps he/she should go into mortuary science. Could make a decent living in a funeral home.
Brings a visual to:
"I'll have his head on a platter."
Oh my good god that looks like a real decapitated head! Where's did they find this decorator...Madame Tussaud's?
OMG poor football head man, he's looking at all from behind his helmet cage, pleading with eyes to please not be eaten. And to have red velvet cake in there, only appropriate I guess, if you're gonna go disturbing, might as well go all the way.
I love your blog, thank you for the laughs!
He looks so sad, must be because his helmet is pink.
I feel like I've been transported to another period in time, where decapitation is still a jusitfiable form of punishment and the King orders the head of the theif to be displayed on the table for all to see and remember!
This is creepier than the baby butt cakes! WHY? WOULD? YOU? DO? THAT? TO? CAKE?!
Geez. it looks just like David Archuleta!
That is seriously gross. *hurk*
I have never, ever been so disturbed by a cake! I actually went to the comments section as soon as I could so it would get off my monitor.
Oh my, this is very disturbing! Nobody's severed head should ever be decorated with icing--it's just wrong. Ew!
It's a fake. The helmet is a decoration, but the face is a guy with his head stuck through a hole in the table and tray. Just so you know.
Looks to me like the guy stuck his head up in a hole in the table. That looks way too real to be a cake. Wish the photo was larger, I'd be able to tell better.
