Are You Ready for Some Football?!
January 30, 2009 Hey Superbowl fans, Anne-Marie here! Did you know the Big Game is right around the corner? Yup, time to get those Terrible Towels and foam fingers out of the basement, whip up a yummy batch of deep-fried cheesy sausage poofs, and plunk down on the couch for five hours of testosterone-fueled annihilation!!
With all this testosterone-fueled frenzy, though, I think the nation's wreckerators may be, well, just too frenzied for quality control:
A little swirled poo, anyone?"Or, hey, we don't have to use all those cupcakes! How about just four, and then put a big plastic football on top?"
"Yeah, that's the ticket!"
"Oh, or there's always recycling! Don't we have some leftover baseball cakes from last year's World Series? Let's use 'em! I'm sure no one will ever notice."
And if you're really stuck for ideas, there's always last year's cake decal. You might need to modify it a little, though:
"Perfect!"Thanks to Stephanie R., Jennifer W., Jennifer T. and David C.!

This is even funny for those of us in Europe who have never seen an American football game... and would prefer not to....
I think those last two were done just to see if they could get on Cake Wrecks. I don't know any other way to explain them.
Actually, the football/baseball theme would work here---the new football stadium for the Dallas Cowboys is practically within spittin' distance of the baseball Ballpark. But, they should have added more flotsum--like soccer balls and golf clubs for more diversity. Ha. and maybe a beer bottle or two?
Hey I love the foot-base cake. You round third base and sack the catcher, right?
Love the re-used decoration too...just think of how much they're reducing their carbon...er...cake print. Nobody will ever notice that half of it is cut off! Flawless!
By just reading the title I knew there was going to be at least one lump of frosting that looked like poop. The CCC is the worst.
eesh! that's just insane.
Love it! Today is my birthday, and I'm a big Steeler fan so I'm very much looking forward to Sunday... these cakes just made my morning.
The baseball diamond is classic. <3
I saw a swirly poo football cake yesterday at the grocery...yuck! Everyone that walked by it wrinkled their noses...hilarious!
I LOVE this blog!!! It makes me feel so much better about my cakes!
Those are...a little turfy for me.

I really need glasses. I thought that first photo was Orphan Annie's Craniotomy sutures.

Those are lovely. I have to bring dessert for the party I'm going to on Sunday but I think I'll stick to undecorated Chocolate Chip cookie Cheesecake.

Recycled cakes...AWESOME!!
Does that third one really say Super Bowl THREE?
i think the last cake is an example as to why children need to be taught roman numerals in schools.
otherwise, how could cakes with edited decals be so accurate?
There's nothing really wrecky about the 4 cupcakes and the football, other than that it's a CCC.
These are truly some of the best actual wrecks I've seen! Football on home plate??? The poo cake almost made me throw up! And reusing last years plastic logos, Oh bad. that is like all time low budget low. Actually I used to have a manager like that... You would have to be on your own low budget low to even buy it. But we are grateful for their contribution to our entertainment.
maybe they are used to the teams that share stadiums with baseball teams durring the early fall. the baselines and stuff are still out. hummm...
What's wrong with the football/baseball field combo?
Anyone for Calvin Ball? I brought my tennis raquet.
WTH...that first one is just nauseating.
I don't know what's funnier. The misplaced quotation marks or the cakes :) Maybe both :)
Oh man, those are too good to be true. The first one really does look like poop - better wait to bring that one out until the first keg is gone!
Phoo-D
I was chuckling at the post until I got to the recycled "Superbowl" cookie cake. Then I was fully into LOLz territory.
Speaking of cookie cakes, I just learned from a co-worker that she went above and beyond to save me from a wrecky cookie cake on my birthday.
The baker was going to spell my name wrong, but the co-worker stood right there and made sure every letter came out right.
Awesome.
Baseball/Football cakes would definitely work in Philadelphia. From Lincoln Financial Field, you can clearly see Citizen's Bank Park. In fact I have a picture of the Bank when I went to my first Eagles game at the Linc this year. And during Game 4 of the World Series too. Sigh.
Oh, that first one is just vile.
Nicole, you're missing nothing, trust me.
I voted for Cake wrecks, but I'll grunt anyway just because you mentioned it: Unf unf! *does appropriate pelvic thrusting* lol there.
I made green tea cupcakes last night. *separate* cupcakes. Iced in plain white vanilla icing, not wrecked. nommmmmmmm
Awful! And the swirled poo - gag!
I wasn't going to comment on these cakes--Anne-Marie did a great color commentary on them--but the WV was "cried". How could I pass that one up?
Most of us looked at the pictures and laughed until we cried. We may not know football, but we know a cake wreck when we see it.
you don't have to post this, but I used to work in advertising, and as of about 2004/2005 the terms Super Bowl and The Big Game became copywrited property of the NFL and there is a possibility that they could pitch a fit about you using them on your website, but .... probalby not - just thought I'd tell you that.
swirled poo .... can't breath ... tears on my face .... !!!
absolutely LOVE your blog! Your commentary is the best!
I agree...poot-ball isn't so appitizing! :D
Never could figure how to play football... just add those cakes to the confusion
No one would mistake me for a sports lover but I do have a nostalgic affinity for baseball and to mess up a perfectly good baseball cake by putting a plastic foot ball on it is awful...
WV: eymister...EyMister, you got some poo on your cake!
Oh wow...how hard can it be to make a football? I made a better football cake than that in '95 the last time the Steelers went to the big game. And I was 5 at the time!
BTW, GO STEELERS!
LOL, my fav is the swirled poo cake!
I could not resist my WV: watess. Used in a sentence: Watess this mess that "decorators" do and fully expect money for? AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
I can't believe the superbowl logo cake would ever make it for sale! Who double checks these cakes before they get sold. I wonder if there is somone who works for each grocery chain that designs these cakes and sends the designs to the actual stores, with a little askerick that says *in case of not having correct year logo, cut with scissors and then add roman numeral with icing* ** cake is even better if its in colors that have nothing to do with the teams**
I. Have. No. Words.
Actually, I do have a few. WTH?
The first one is really nasty
this is great, even you't particularly care about the SuperBowl, it's still funny stuff!
The football across from the baseball diamond cracked me up. Huge football on itty-bitty ball field.

LOL I love the modified decal from last year!
Um... If you don't know much about football... please, PLEASE don't attempt a cake!!!
I am seriously grossed out by the leftover world series cake. HOW OLD IS THAT!!??!?!? Nasty!
That first cake looks like turds stitched together to make...what else? A Frankenturd!
The last one is actually the logo from 2 years ago. They've had that thing for a long time!
(I didn't actually know that, I went and looked it up.)
I saw my first live Cake Wreck today! I was at the grocery store and found a CCC. One "piece" of it was shaped like a recliner, and the other "piece" was a weird white and red "tv" with "Super Boll" on it. OMG!
LOL
Me and Hubs are just gonna watch movies and pretend this "event" isn't happening. :P
With crap like this being offered in grocery stores. It's a wonder more people don't bake at home.
But where else would they get the little plastic football?
Ha, I swear I saw the poo one at Sam's club and thought of this site, but was out on the rare occasion alone, so the camera was home in the diaper bag... drat :)

If this is Super Bowl XLIII couldn't they have just added an "I" to last year's decal?
Those are true wrecks indeed. The recycled decals are just not worth it!! Let them go, seriously!
