Creations That Might Possibly Be Representations of Turkeys
November 26, 2008 But the jury's still out.
You know, Amanda S., I always wondered what Davy Jones would look like as a turkey. I'd say this has got to be spot on.
Kara S., please tell me this is a baby shower cake. (Orange pacifier? Woolly bonnet? It could work.)
Ashley J. has obviously found the "angry tree demigod" species of turkey. Forget Smokey the Bear: now HERE is a mascot that will make you put those campfires out.
And Melissa G. found a...a...hm. Right, you got me. What the heck is this?
Ah, the traditional "Snake in a Flamenco Dress" turkey - of course. But where are the castanets, Erin L.?
And lastly:
Sure, ok, he looks like a turtle whose shell is on fire - no problem. The thing I can't get past are those weird Aztec-looking symbols written on the left "pumpkin's" head. After a few moments squinting at them, I suddenly realized they are supposed to be words. Check it out; it's like one of those magic eye puzzles.
And don't look now, Lynz B., but I think those Twizzlers are supposed to be feet. Won't you join me in weeping for the future of cake art?

Can I only comment that I think the first picture at the top of your post makes me hink of the NBC Peacock, if it had taken a hit of acid?
Uh...Does that say "eat more beef"?
I KNOW!!
The fourth one looks suspiciously like the everlasting gobstopper from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
There's http://hldyer.wordpress.com/2008/10/21/willy-wonka-the-publishing-industry-part-ii/" REL="nofollow">a picture here, if you want to see for yourself
So this cake is a...
wait for it...
EVERLASTING GOBBLESTOPPER!!
Oh my gosh...this is the funniest thing I've seen in a looong time!! I practically spit on my computer screen. XDDD I love the 'angry tree demi-god'!!
Ok the snake cake worries me a little. I think he..she?..it? is going to crawl away any minute now.
And I admit I too thought of Davy Jones the Monkee...but he *if* he was a turkey, he may well look like that, who knows??
We'd have to see it dance to be sure....
Personally, I don't think eating more bees is the answer.
To anything.
Ouchie.
I think the core issue here is that most people have never seen a real turkey (I mean, outside of the freezer bin in the meat section) so it's no wonder their anatomy is a little less than accurate.
And I prefer to think the little pumpkin wants you to "get more beer"
The Aztec looking symbols spell "Eat More Beef." No charge for translation. : )
Eat More Beef. That's what that pumpkin is saying.
Whaaaaaaaa???
I think the pumpkin says "EAT MORE BEE(F)". I mean, is there beef in that cake?
the third one down...it's Mr. Hanky dressed as a Vegas Showgirl for halloween...that's a feathered headdress behind him. Umm...Yeah, that's what I'm going with.
I'm glad you included the link. I'm so old that when you said "Davy Jones" I conjured a picture of the Monkees, and thought he doesn't look like an exploding turkey.
Ia! Ia! Turkeythulhu ftaghn!
They're all very sad as professional cakes, but the last one, with the Twizzler feet would be a lauded showstopper if someone's niece decorated it like that at home for the family dinner.
Everyone would proclaim it adorable and say that she was so clever. They might even say "It looks almost like a professional cake." But anyone who said, "You'd never know it wasn't a professional cake" would be a regular Cake Wrecks reader.
Re the first one - just how many hangy-down neck thingys does that turkey have??
What a terrible waste of Twizzlers, making them into that "turkey" cake's feet.
I REALLY like the "angry tree demigod"...it's SO cute.....as a tree, not a turkey.
At the Tom Thumb grocery store today I regret I was without my camera, and there, lo and behold was a turkey cupcake wreck that resembled the NBC peacock in all its glory.
Is that pumpkin telling us to "Eat More Bees"?
I think the "what the heck is that" cake is a sun gone supernova. With a nosebleed.
What [!!!] is going on with number 3/tree?
I mean, seriously, it's like a stick figure turkey; nobody tried on that one.
How do these things get put into those cozy plastic cases and put on a shelf with a price tag?

The unknown cake is clearly a rare tropical fish, which pacific cultures consume instead of turkeys on Thanksgiving. Or something.
"And I prefer to think the little pumpkin wants you to 'get more beer'"
Yeah, because maybe if you get enough beer, the cake might actually start looking like a turkey.
Oh my goodness, this is hilarious! I'm feeling pretty "thankful" right now that I'll be having plain ole pumpkin pie and not a mad tree demi-god at the table this year! Har-har-har!
I think the last turkey says, Eat More Beef. Funny ha ha.
oh my, this blog is the best. I keep forgetting these are professional cakes! What is the world coming to?
I too read "Eat more beef", until I looked closer and realized I couldn't see any "f" and my mind was just filling it in. So yeah, I agree with Craig: it says "Eat more bee."
"Eat more beef" LOL.
Awful and therefore hilarious as always.

The great thing is the unknown cake (which also bears a certain resemblance to Mr. Hanky in real life) is still in the store. At least noone has taken that wreck home!
I showed these to my three year old and he said they were a "Turkey, another turkey, a leaf, an octopus, a snake, and another turkey."
Oh kay...we have two squashed spiders, a chocolate lobster on a cookie, a rasta ccc wreck and a turtle with coloured barnacles. Weird...and I can't wait for the Christmas cakes.
wvotd..obaggr.."I'm all obarr'd with the uglines of these cakes"
I think it is hilarious that people don't get your humor and actually answer your rhetorical questions.
Thanks though for always pointing out the horrific details that I might miss.
And thanks for the best post ever.
You just made me realize that I really want a cake of a turtle with his shell on fire.
That last 'turkey' has a dodgy shaped head/neck...rather 'poo' shaped...! LOL
it says eat more beef!
The first wrect looks like the predator and I guess one of the other ones could be the alien.
Ok is it just me or is the first turkey "cake" picture missing something? Oh wait here is a thought...could it be the cake? From that angle, it looks like there is only icing and no cake. Can somebody please tell me that I am only seeing things!!
i love those cute pumpkins with the little headdresses!!
Ashley J's turkey looks like roadkill!
That would be a turkopus.. or maybe an octokey... no more fighting over drumsticks! You've got 8!
LOL - The snake in the flamenco dress is the best!
Keep up the good work!

#4 - turkey octopus! watch out they'll take over the world !
the cookie turkey looks like he's clutching his heart from a heart attack...that or he's choking on the cranberries - guess that's one way to go...
To "Cake for Breakfast" - I love your name. I sell the majority of my cakes on Saturdays. If one doesn't get picked up , or if I have an extra that didn't get sold, then I donate it to a children's charity called the Ronald McDonald House. It's for the family's of children with cancer who are from out of time and need an place to stay for an extended period of town while their child is receiving treatment in the hospital. Whenever I drop off a cake to them I get greeted by children who are having "cake for breakfast" usually in the shape of a popular character. It brings such a smile to their face and mine!!! :D
Aww. Those are horrible.
Try this one.

ick. i think i'll pass on any cake that says the word "beef" anywhere on it.
I am admittedly late on the comment, but I had to say this: My two-year-old daughter was watching the turkeys scroll by. She was actually pretty good at pegging most of them as turkeys, but she called them "Turkey Monsters!"
The "What the heck is this?" cake is clearly Snuffleupagus http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._Snuffleupagus
wearing the very popular 'Statue of Liberty' crown. Now that is how you celebrate Thanksgiving!
The neck of that last one looks more like a turd!
Am I the only one who thinks the neck looks like an erect penis made out of s--t? NASTY!!!
Okay--look a Melissa G's again--I have a suspicious feeling that was last months spider cake re-done. Do you see the EIGHT feather/legs???
I laughed so hard, I woke up my daughter two rooms away. If I'm up all night now, it's your fault for being so damn funny.
