I Believe the Children are Our Future
"Teach them well and LET them lead the way,
Show them all the [juvenile delinquency] they possess insiiiiide…"
Because every four-year-old is searching for a hero, that’s why. And if that hero can bus’ a cap with his 9 mil (check the photo), so much the better.
Play on, Lil’ Derrick: play on.
Thanks to Mary B. for pointing this one out over on Photo Basement.

Oh my...that's just wrong in so many ways. At least the cake is well done. I think the parent of that child should be given an award. Not sure for what, but there's got to be something.
OW.
My soul.
I think it just died.
Maybe this cake is for a 16 year old, how is born on February 29th, and therefore has only had 4 birthdays.
Oh my goodness, I am so glad I've found this blog. It's so funny. Thank you for making it!!!
Some kids have a college fund. Lil Derrick has a bail fund starter kit on his cake!
two words....
white trash
I cant decide whether I should laugh or be disgusted with the parents.
*shaking head in disbelief*
His twin sister probably got the "Li'l Ho" cake to match.
Perhaps they did get it because it had cars on it....BUT it also has a guy holding a gun....
HAHAHA!!
I just love all the indignant hand-wringing going on here.
I choose to believe the cake is in commemoration of and adults' 4 years of sobriety. Or maybe his fours years out of prison after that unfortuanate misunderstanding over the camaro's ownership. And, I further choose to believe he is called Lil Derrick because his dad is Derrick, too.
Wait, these mushrooms on the pizza taste funny......
"Honey, bring me and Lil Derrick another beer! Son, watch and learn. Daddy's gonna teach you how to beat up a hooker...okay, it's your turn. That's right, oh wow boy, you make Daddy proud. HONEY, MORE BEER BEFORE I GET THE BELT! Oh, Derrick dun beat up his first hooker *tear* Here son, happy birthday! Let me hold your controller while you blow out the candles so you don't spill your beer."
This is just SAD! 4 year olds should be playing with Trucks and Tractors.
what a wonderful role model...ugh
This is proof that video games do not cause violence, cakes do. Just ask Marie Antoinette...
only thing missing from this getting the gold medal is a line of coke and a bottle of malt liquor
Ahhh..."Thug Life"
I'm going to pretend Lil' Derrick cake came from a deadbeat-but-loving uncle in the middle of the night, after learning only 3 nights ago about his birthday. The parents are shocked to discover the cake on the kitchen cabinet, understanding that someone broke in and left it there, but not having a clue who could be responsible. Lil' Derrick enjoys his frosty treat while mom and pop are busy calling people up for answers.
OMG, that's horrible. That's a pretty interesting cake, for a 21 year old maybe for a 4 year old? Just horrible.
So much laughter, have read the whole thing... Now I am late for a dinner and I need to pick up a cake on the way. Please let there be a cake with something hilariously inappropriate iced on it.

This is a photoshop. The original said Happy 14th Birthday. You can tell by the gap between Happy and 4th.
I'm not so sure. It looks like there's about the same amount of space between Happy and 4th as there is between Lil and Derrick, and what self-respecting 14-year-old would put up with being called "Lil" Derrick anyway?
i love this website with all my heart.
First post, and I'm breaking out my myth busting skills from Snopes, and Worth1000, I'm sorry.
I was having trouble believing this, so I checked it out in a graphics editor. It looks like the GTA stuff was shopped in. The first thing I noticed was that the background from the cover of the game was still behind the logo. With a little bit of zoom, there's some sloppy spots where someone used a blur or soften tool on the A and T at the begining of "Theft" and "Auto." And there's a line missing off of the last "S" in San Andreas"
Also, the pixelation's inconsistant with the rest of the picture around the guy with the gun, the Rockstar "R" the edges of that whole picture, AND the GTA logo. You can see if you look close.
So I'm pretty sure, it's a shop, a pretty good one, but still fake.
In all fairness though, I do love this blog, and don't want to come off as trolling. Just wanted to point out WHY I was doubting that this one was real.
Now, to be fair, a lot of parents just have party themes that appeal to them for the first few birthdays, because really young kids don't remember this shit at all. Four is a bit old for that, but maybe they just have an older sibling who didn't want to hang around for his little brother's party. I doubt Lil' Derrick is even capable of playing GTA.
STILL, a hilarious cake, no matter who it's for.
OMG! There is no way I would let my child have that cake.
I haven't laughed that hard in while...his name is says it all for me. Here's to many ho filled birthdays Lil Derek!
EEEEEEEK!!! Anyone else hoping their kid isn't in Lil Derrick's class????? DOH! Parenting - FAIL!
Just wow. There's no way a 4 y.o. (or even worse, 3 y.o.-- he just turned 4) should even be playing that game!
Seriously WTF is wrong with people? Have they all lost it? And people think I'm crazy, at least I'm raising my kids right.
No offense to poor Lil Derrick, who's already been a member of this big old happy world family for 4 years(and had no chance pick out different doting parents), but maybe this is more proof that just because one CAN reproduce doesn't mean one SHOULD.
I'm hyperventilating because of this cake. The levels of inappropriateness is ridiculous. Sheer, glorious ignorance.
Sorry Danifae, but that's not photoshopping, it's just bad graphic icing. The graphics are probably blurry because the parent printed out a picture and gave it to the baker, who then made an edible transfer.
You gave me faith, but it's probably a real cake.
My first reaction was to email my best friend and say 'can't you just see your inlaws buying that?'. And she agreed.
You know your inlaws are trashy when you're planning to emigrate to another continent to avoid them ...
I can say this because I'm white . . .
That cake is truly a low in white trash history.
I didn't even notice the money until someone pointed that out. I can't imagine how many germs that money must carry. On top of giving a 4-year-old an adult's cake.
Danifae you merely pointed out that the artist who did the cake did a poor job with the airbrush transfer or the edible logo printout. Nothing more. I use photoshop daily for work. You can trust me, it's not shopped. or you can keep trolling.
Sweet, Merciful Jesus.
These people are reproducing, and (perhaps worse) their vote counts the same as yours.
On the bright side, no doubt this was bought with food stamps, so at least we can all sleep well knowing we helped makeLil' Derrick's birthday a happy one.
It's funny, really: I saw and saved a copy of this ( http://www.forumammo.com/cpg/displayimage.php?pos=-1774 ) yesterday, thinking it was especially ironic. No parent is that stupid.
Actually, now I know the name of the poor child in the photo.
I too weep for our future.
G*d help us...
DD
Awww...Tupac would be proud. "THUG LIFE". Geez this is a bad rendition.
I found a bigger/clearer version of the photo here: http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/140831.html
It really does not appear shopped to me. I think the GTA label was something scanned into a computer and then put on the cake.. kinda like you can get a photo put on a cake in the icing.
Scary.
After seeing this cake and the Eeyore/Eagles cake, I think a new parent of the year category is in order.
That cake would've been awesome if not for the fact that... it's for a four-year-old. PARENTS, YOU FAIL.
Aaaah, parenting. I just discovered your blog today, and i think it's awesome!
Hahaha I love it. In fact, I liked it enough that I featured this cake in my blog and added you to my blogroll.
OMG unbelievable!
I imagine a scenario: Doting but desperately un-hip granny goes to the baker.
"What do the children like these days?"
"Er... Grand Theft Auto is pretty popular."
"Oh, yes, little Derrick loves playing with cars. We'll have that cake, then."
Uh...
...is this for real? Has anyone noticed that "Lil Derrick" is only four years old? Woooowww.
My dears--
I am 54 and I'M too young for GTA!
OMG-are those really dollar bills rolled up and stuck in the side of the cake? For a 4 year old? Oh no....
