Putting Their Best Feet Forward
October 9, 2009 Ok, this is going to be toe-tally corny, but I'm doing it solely for the laughs.
Ready?
[pregnant pause]
Ta Da!
I get the impression you'd have to be a real heel to belly up to this baby shower cake. Eh?Yep, the belly cakes just keep getting better and better, folks. I mean, sure, the headless, limbless preggo torso was undeniably appetizing for a while, but it's nice to see bakers reproducing some with a bit more kick, don't you think?
Er...Either this baby is reeeally flexible, or she's going to need some corrective shoes later in life.So, today: fetal feet.
Tomorrow: fetal faces?
Ahh, we can only hope.
MK & Rose S., these babies really stomp out the competition, don't they?

Oi Jen, you were really on a roll with the puns today! Extra cool points. :)
Huh... is it just me or do the feet look backwards on that second one? The left on the right and vice versa?
*shudder*
I tell you, these cakes are just . . . "wrong." Who could eat something like this? Wouldn't you feel like a cannibal?
Oh the second one has the right orientation for the feet! In the fetal position babies typically cross their legs, sometimes so much that the heel is almost on the opposite hip. Although these feet are turned bottom of the foot directly out which is a bit awkward, seems like the bottom of the foot should be at more of an angle...
Oh my God! I just had a request for one of these this afternoon, first time I've ever seen one and now you have this posted today! And they did want an outie belly button on it! *shudder*
No, I don't intend to make it, I'll talk them into anything else!! Anything!! When did it become okay to serve body parts at baby showers? It's creepy, how do people not understand that?!!
I can't believe this... years ago I had a horrible dream that I looked down and my belly looked just like this, down to the unusually low number of toes. I'd almost blocked it out... must be a psychic decorator, unless that particular nightmare is more common than I thought :p
It looks like if you cut into them, there would be fetuses inside. Yuckyuckyuck!!
I feel slightly sickened, but also a bit impressed. Creative..... very creative.

I think I'm sick.

omg. is it wrong that i would have trouble cutting into a cake like that? I dont know. Oh man, for halloween they would definitely creep people out by putting a baby shaped cake INSIDE one of those cakes. aaaaaaarrrghh
um,...(phoow), oh, gees, I, um...man. I mean, well...just...(phoow)...well, they're um...
I got nothing.
cw-rewebary what a small child calls the library.
When I was pregnant I had this extremely strange dream in which the baby's feet were pushing out the side of my belly. I tried to describe it to my husband at the time and couldn't really get the image across, but this first cake is EXACTLY what my dream looked like. I showed these pictures to my husband so he would understand. And for what it's worth, I found the dream rather disturbing, and the cakes even more so.
Well...it could be worse. We saw pregnancy-themed cakes...not...um..delivery-themed ones.
*shudder*
Saw this, thought of you... *leer*

(Creepy, but work safe. There's something about babies dressed as carrots, only this time it's "Kewpie Sauce")
what's up with the *scarf* around the neck bit of the second one? seriously wreckorator... you maybe thought adding a scarf would make it look LESS like disembodied torso?
I'm thinking I should buy one of these cakes as a form of birth control for my son's girlfriend....
The "kissing can get you pregnant" stopped working a few years back. LOL
Might be the very first time I'd pass on a piece of cake....
My daughter would yell "can I have a piece with the foot?" or maybe "I want the belly button"
Thanks for sharing.....
Pregnant torsos and baby feet? Sicknast. I SO do not want a piece of cake.
wv: weasho - Weasho do love some fuuugly cakes.
See, this is what happens when people don't get given proper sex education and learn about pregnancy from Stephanie Meyer books.
Don't use a condom, baby full term in about about six weeks, it'll kick or chew its way out.
Crikey! I don't believe what kinds of cakes they make...
Pregnancy is an amazing thing, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't be able to bring myself to eat them!!
It's like that freaky bit in the Twilight books where the vampire does a c-section with his teeth!!
Wait... does that say "Bye bye TUNG"? Because "Tummy" would make TOO much sense.
Like somebody else said, I don't blame the bakers on these... I blame the nutjobs who ordered them!
The first one is really pretty if you can get past the feet. And the belly. And the boobs. And the lack of the rest of the body. I guess you could say the "execution" was near perfect.
I also concur that the tatas on the second one are way too much. That woman's gonna have some serious back issues later...
That first cake was cute and really well made. My last child was always making footprints on my belly when I was pregnant, so it's not that far off!
(screams) Alien baby! Alien baby! *hides under covers*
I love how on the second one they wrote all the words on the right boob.
Geez, if I ever go to a baby shower and they bring out a cake like these I think I'd have to lie and say I'm a diabetic or a vegan or both just to get out of having to eat such a scary piece of cake.
That just made me throw up a little. :P
I totally read Tomorrow: Fetal faeces too >.> To be fair I don't think it's an entirely unreasonable idea, given some of the poo cakes we've seen D:
That last one looks like the baby is stomping through her back, cuz those Boobs look more like butt-cheeks!
Ha, I love how these cakes make it look like the babies are busting right out of mama's belly! (Um, NOT!) Seriously, I had to consider whether these cakes were trying to depict a C-section...or what! Ick, no...this is sooo wrong...
how dreadful...
The black shirt over the boobs looked like Mickey Mouse ears upon my first glance. Mickey's ears over a stomach is too weird...
Strangely, the Buddha was born out of the side of his mother's torso as well.

Only one word comes to mind with these fetal cakes: Breech.
Mom's got a couple of serious cupcakes, there. Is this for a batchelor party?
I've never laughed so hard in my life. I seriously have to pee now!!!
Gross. Sorry, pregnancy becomes so self-righteous, we don't all need the visual.
On that first cake, the baby's feet are protruding so far out that my first thought was "Since when are babies born feet first, and from the side of the mother's belly?"
It was not until I saw the second tacky wreck that I realized it was supposed to be footprints. Of course that was after I managed to tear my eyes away from the emormous boobs, which look like those plain black bowling alley lane balls to me.
WV: spare - Spare us any more bowling ball boobies sprouting yoga baby bellies

I am not sure who would be able to cut into that cake, without closing their eyes and grimacing???
ewww....I don't think I can stomach the footie cakes! haha!
