Talkin' Turkey Tuesday, Too
November 24, 2009 We're continuing to count down (up?) the top 20 ways to wreck a turkey cake. Hold on to your giblets, folks, 'cuz this is gettin' gooood.
11. By confusing turkeys with bank-robbing peacocks:
(But isn't his little kerchief mask adorable?)H. By plumbing the depths of the phrase "intestinal fortitude":
Spoon. By anthropomorphizing a mushroom cloud:
Yes, seriously.(I know, right?!? That's what *I* said!)
17. Or by confusing it with the Magnificent Bagel-Nosed Falcon of Uganda:
(The resemblance is uncanny.)
And lastly...
20. By putting an Indian headdress on Cthulhu:
Nicole D., Marcy P., Sarah T., Diane M., Lindsay H., Michelle G., & Kristen R., I'm starting to forget what a turkey even looks like. I guess that means I'm ready to start decorating!

Are H and the last one actually coated in Marshmallow Fluff? If so, I'm almost impressed.
Ew, that last one looks so like something you'd find in the litter tray and then decorated with crepe paper. As if.
Both yesterday's and today's posts were terrific! I love that you included "snuffleupagus"!
I've found my turkey, but I have not found my turkey cake. OK, that's not fair, as I haven't been looking. I think I'll pass given the range of specimens available...
Word verification: framit (pronounced "frame-it")
LOL at your number list!!!
11...H...spoon
LMBO!!!!
The last one looks like a cross between Cthulu and one of those Virgin Mary candles you can get at the grocery store.
WV:halpawle
god halpawle these ugly cakes.
okay I just had to say
SPOOOOOOOOOOON!
Jen you miscounted. You left out the number 'fork'. =P
And for spoon, you see an anthro mushroom cloud, I just see a muppet wearing a wig. Possibly Beaker.
And i don't know why but 11. makes me think 'B-rated movie'. Maybe its the corny special effects.
The burning man cake will be much better once someone eats the 'wheels'
The first one looks like a well-tanned Tweety Bird wearing a swine flu mask in front of the NBC peacock!
I feel a little slighted, Jen. You promised a top 20 and today's half only has 7. I'm no math whiz, but I think that means you're a liar. :)
haha, it took me like a full minute to realize you were messing up the numbering on purpose. *runs to the kitchen for a cup of coffee*
What about the other 7?
Number two (pun intended) looks like he just did the Nestea plunge into a pile of multi-colored pillows.
Who taught you to count?
I snickered until I got to Cthulhu. Then I spewed out Diet Dr. Pepper. Madness indeed.
The first turkey looks like he's doing a little dance too. A dancing, bank robbing turkey. Hello Thanksgiving!
the headdress on Cthulu!!! Roaring with laughter.
I bow to your comic genious. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Okay, Rio Turkey, as I'll call him, actually looks kind of nice to me. I think that scares me.
OMG! I LOVE Cthulu turkey! That's awesome. I mean, it's awesomely bad, but it's totally awesome that you actually called it Cthulu. You're awesome. (I think I've had too much caffine today).
And lastly.... SPOON!
hee hee... Spoon.
These are even better (worse) than yesterday!!!
Wreck on!!
(Spoon) looks like a pretty good depiction of what the muppet beaker would look like with a red afro.
Thank you for Cthulu Turkey!
intestinal fortitude seriously grossed me out!

The mushroom cloud looks like Beaker with an afro. Meep meee meeep.
Rarely can I find looking at cakes so very unappetizing. Should post these on my fridge door as a diet aid.
I do kind of want a Cthulu cake. Do you think that, if I ordered one, it would look like a turkey?
The 3rd one reminds me of Beaker
Seriously? These are just frightening! That last one looks like a octo-turkey!
Your counting seems a bit off there...
There is nothing like intestinal cake.
that anthropomorphic mushroom cloud looks a whole lot like Beaker with an afro
The last one looks like an alien from Cocoon with the bright aura around, jajajajajaja
Is it weird if I heard this in the voice of Cousin Eddie from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation ("cuz this is gettin' gooood")? ... No? ... okay then :-)
Hey, isn't that first one the NBC network logo?? Or, perhaps, the elusive "pearky" (or as they say in southeast Asia... "Turcock" (turkey/peacock hybrid).
Wow.
Call me crazy but the one thing I love about those CCC is the amount of icing they are able to pile on to 1 single little round of cake.
Viva la wrecktastic icing overload!!
SPOON!!! it's the battle cry of flatware everywhere!
and also, cthulu. IN THE SAME POST! my head might just explode from all of the awesome.
my captch is....whobowel, as in..."whobowel is responsible for the poo turkey?!"
I love the numbering system. And I think the last one looks more like Pthoolhu, if you know what I mean.
okay, seriously I sat that looking at spoon for forever trying to make sense of the sentence. When I finally realized it was "number" spoon, I about fell out of my chair laughing. I heart you Jen!
I lost it at "Spoon."
Why are the 1st two turkeys flipping me the finger?
And the 3rd looks like a Muppet.
Cthulu with an Indian headress! That's awesome!
wv - suche - These "cakes" are suche a waste.
I vote for the Cthulhu cake! Why choose a lesser evil?
You know what part made me bust out laughing?
Spoon.
I'm still sitting here at work giggling about it. They're going to start wondering about me.
Spoon.
LOL!
um, Jen, not to nitpick, but won't the library slightly frown upon the fans stocking up on their copies of Cake Wrecks?? either that, or that's one sucky present if you have to return it to the library...
:)
Is it just me or does number Spoon look like Carrot Top?
SPOOOON!
My 3 yr old son thinks the mushroom cloud one looks like Elmo. He refuses to belive it's not Elmo.
But if he's a bank robber, why is *he* sticking up his cute little twig arms in the air? Well, I suppose it would go with the slipping 'kerchief. Maybe he just got busted by one of those redneck-shotgun-shell-wedding-cakes.
First loved meeting you in atlanta.
second, my co-worker think i am insane. i was laughing at spoon and demon snuffleupagus... from Rio when i saw the Cthulhu!
will you come and help me out, the people in the white coats are not very nice.
spoon. hilar!
-moochmom
Thos of us of a certain age saw that first one and thought, "The following is brought to you in Living Color on NBC!"
And the last one looks like Our Turkey of Guadalupe...
How many people actually have *cake* for Thanksgiving anyway? And CCC, at that?
The sheer amount of icing on these is enough to make me gag, and I've always been of the "icing is the best part" school of cake enjoyment.
