And For That Crowning Touch...
November 15, 2008 So Shawn sent in this "specialty" cake:
Which might lead one to question what their "specialty" is. Hmm. Things from Down Under, perhaps? [smirk]
Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Gee, Jen, I wish I could see that from another angle and with more color saturation," aren't you? Aha! I knew it. Well, luckily for you, Formica D. also sent in a photo of the exact same cake:
Wow. I don't know about you guys, but seeing that top "pile" in all its glistening glory is greatly grossing me out. Ick.
By the way, given that the displayed goods next to the cake went from ghostly strawberries to turkey cupcakes, just how long do you suppose it's been sitting there? Long enough to attract flies, perhaps?

I kind of think it would be a really pretty cake if not for the big steamer on top!
You fools! It is not a pile of poop...
...but a veiny tentacle of a Lovecraftian horror -- maybe a Chtonian -- pushing out of the pumpkin, now that the stars are right.
And then you will wish that it would be just poop.
Put on your mad cultist robe, and start chanting "Ia! Ia! Chthulhu fhtagn!" and hope that the Great Tentacled One has mercy on you, and you will be eaten first.
I have the story for this one! Someone made the initial cake (the orange parts) and was told "Your cake is a pile of crap!"
And in response they added the....uh....pile of crap.
"You're wrong! THIS is a pile of crap"
Is it just me or is that Turkey looking right at you saying "get me outta here, somthin stinks"
Word Vrification: watrusn
"what are you son"
Or maybe What..runs
EWWW!! What is it even supposed to represent?!?!
*reading comments* Wait, is it supposed to be a pumpkin? But pumpkins aren't all smooth and... Oh, a cornucopia? Yeah, but it doesn't look like... oh, never mind. It's just gross. And that's all. even though orange is my favourite colour.
Why does it look like someone took a poo on the cake?
Oh my, is that a gigantic maggot?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that a giant worm is burrowing into that cake!
HOLY...S**T Oh, wait, that is what it is too!
OMG... This is horrible! Guess it is better then eating a cake that looks like a body. Well, maybe.

To our3qtgirlz and the others who mentioned it: the October 31/November 1 scenario is possible since I took my photo on November 1.
Cheers!

PS I carry my digital camera everywhere I go. Weirdness abounds, and not just in the bakery department.
Ewwwwww !!! I swear I saw *steam* coming off that thing.
Whatever it is.
Ya'll are missing out one of the best parts; in the first picture there is a cake in the background at least as worthy of notice. Looks like chocolate twinkies standing on end all around a pool of white frosting. Truly this bakery is a mecca for wreck hounds. And the strawberries! I thought they were fruit covered in mold. How special!!
Somebody named a kid Formica?
I think everyone is so focused on the cake that we missed the fact that the submitters name is Formica....
