Gosh, Kermit, I Think I'd Get That Looked At...
August 15, 2008 
The store selling these cakes (oh yes, there are more!) claims that they are watermelons.
Riiiight.
As you can see from this other example, the "slice" appears to have drifted southward over time, resulting in the truly unfortunate and rather alarming spectacle you see here. In fact, this guy could be the new spokesman for certain "personal care" items, don't you think? Can't you just see him bouncing across your television screen, his squeaky voice telling you to "ask your doctor if HerpAway is right for you!"?
Thanks to Bahktin for the pic, originally posted here.

haha, the red part is supposed to be the guts?
That is just plain wrong. Sick. Perverted. Absolutely hilarious. Kermi had a sex change and is officially 'OUT'!!!
If I was that frog, I'd get those black bumpy spots looked at!

Hi, Just wanted you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed this blog. My SIL hooked my up with it. I used to be a cake decorator, so I can appreciated this whole site. It's amazing what some people and some decorators can do (or not do) to a cake. Thanks for sharing.
I'm speechless...

OMG, I think I must now always start my day with a cake wreck! You brighten my day with the social commentary and the pics, OMG, I just keep laughing so hard, I cry. Wonder if I could get that printed on a cake.
I have to also admit, I've NEVER EVER had these experiences with cakes. What I've ordered has always come out correctly. So seeing these things, well, it just becomes that much more funny!!
Thank you for making my day!!
ah, Jen...you make me laugh. That picture makes me itchy.
The cake itself looks kind of worried.
AHAHAHAHA.
Win.
I was looking up information on watermelons and I read that the "flesh consists of highly developed placental tissue within the fruit."
Between that quote and that picture, I'm never eating watermelon again.
LOL!! I could probably get that it's a watermelon if it didn't have, you know, great bulging eyes or arms and legs ;p
Like that, it just looks like a very unfortunate female critter that really needs to visit her gynecologist!!
oh dear Kermit has Herpes!
Ewwww... that's so horrid! They need to fire that cakemaker. First of all, why does the watermelon have eyes and arms? It's clearly a vagina when you add body parts!
Once again, your blog has made me laugh until I cried. Thank you for making me smile first thing this morning!

Okay, before reading about the pic, I tried to decide if it was a very bad Kermit or if it was an OLIVE! Watermelon?? NEVER! Happy Friday and cheers! ~holds up coffee~
Besides laughing at their idea of how you cut watermelons, I find it wholly disturbing that they thought it was a good idea to make the watermelon a "person." I mean, it's one thing to eat a cake that looks like a My Little Pony (one of my first birthday cakes growing up) but it's something else to have a watermelon-man frosted so that it looks he's committing seppuku.
um yeah. and what exactly is that supposed to be?!?! and who would buy it?!? it looks like a really bad groom's cake!
I am not sure of the last time I saw a watermellon with eyes?? Thanks for the laughs keep them comming:)
And I just THOUGHT the feet cakes
were disgusting.
Who would do that to an innocent cake?
You know, it wouldn't be that bad if it ditched the limbs and the eyes.
But with them...
....ew. I'd buy one just for the hilarity, but it would be 'fun' trying to force myself to eat it.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I'd still rather eat this one than the faeces-and-flies cake, but ...
I'm not sure this will get approved but all I can think is "vagina"! Especially the one in the link.
My goodness this is indeed a wreck.
ok - having just spent that last 20 minutes digging through this new gem that is your blog...
Oh my god...
SERIOUSLY?
that's too much - the second cake looked like an evil alien va-jay-jay.
eesh!

Horrific! I'm with Amy, it looks like an olive to me. But no matter what it is, it's wrong, wrong, a thousand times wrong.
Oh dear!
Uh....!!
I have a picture of our Super Bowl cake from years ago....we said to write Pittsburgh "Steelers" and when we went to pick it up it said, "STEALERS!" We took it home like that....would you like a picture?
Nevermind the fact that if someone was feeling in a watermelon state of mind that they could...eat. a. watermelon.
Isn't a watermelon cake a little bizarre? Unless of course you own a watermelon farm, have just been crowned the county watermelon princess queen, or some such.
Hmmm...Poor Kermit!!
If they claim this is a watermelon....why add legs and eyes...OMG, It would have been much better without..lol!
Why do I feel like they couldn't make up their mind about the cake? Were they going for a frog or were they going for a watermelon? These are two things that SHOULD NOT be mixed.
Watermelons should never have eyes and hands, especially if you are going to cut them open.
My next question...people actually buy these cakes?
if its suppose to be a watermelo, then why the arms and legs??? Wierd!
Love your blog these cakes are hilarious

i have to order a cake in a few weeks, and part of me hopes it turns out awful so i can submit it to you! :) But since it's for a child's baptism, I hope it is just what i order.
Thank you for making me laugh each day!
I am wondering:
1. Have they actually sold any of these cakes?!
and
2. Exactly what occasion are these cakes appropriate for? I am afraid to ask!
In a very sick way, it is kinda cute :s
Since when do watermelons have eyes? Or vaginas for that matter?
I think those spots need medical attention STAT.
Awesome, I know what to bring to the next office pot luck!
You just keep topping the gross factor! My gosh, WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING!!!!!!!!!
This is so wrong. So very, very wrong. A watermelon? Please. That is a sick and perverted frog!
Honestly, I dont know which picture was worse..1 or 2? 1 looked like a whole body shot and the 2nd one looked like a closeup!
WOW, I can't stop laughing, that is sooo bad. Not to mention ewww who would want to eat that. And no it oes NOT look like a watermelon. Yuck....

Ok, even if it is supposed to look like a watermelon, I don't see why it has to have arms, legs, and buggy eyeballs put on it. What kind of freaky watermelons did they eat at THAT GUY'S house growing up???
My watermelons were appendageless, couldn't look at me, and didn't have gaping wounds that kinda of deter one from wanting to eat them.
People are so freaking WEIRD!
Oh. God.
Can't. Breathe.
Must. Stop. Laughing. (That cake in the link is pretty horrifying too, but this one really... er... takes the cake.)
*tilts head to the side* why would a watermelon need arms legs and eyes? Thats disturbing in of itself.
That is one creepy design.

Words fail me, I'm laughing too hard. If I were a kid, I would be afraid of that cake. If I were a 14 year old boy ---- I shudder to think... You've outdone yourself and THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
heck, put this one together with yesterday's "no sexual harassment" cake and you've got yourself a party! an awkward, awkward, party.
That is wrong on so many levels.
And the other example pic with the higher location of the *ahem* bits - is even naughtier - like some cartoon vulva for a health class....
Do some people just not look at the anatomies of humans??? Are they that clueless as to what "it" looks like "down there"???
Maybe it might have been more believable if they'd made the dark green and light green lines that are on watermelon. And if they'd neglected to give it arms, legs, and googly eyes. And if they'd made the "cut" bit a bit sharper instead of a jagged gash.... Maybe...?
I thought at first that this was just the first step toward bringing together the horrible pregnant cakes with the baby butt cakes :-)
I agree with Amy_D. Before trying to read what it was SUPPOSED to be, I wanted to figure out what it is. I thought it was an olive as well. I never figured it for a watermellon. OMG! I love it.
I've been sharing this site with co-workers. It is providing us a good laugh each day. keep it up.
