Today I am NOT Irish
March 11, 2009 Nope, today I'm opting out of my admittedly diluted Irish heritage. I refuse to acknowledge any connection, in however small a part, to this:
Where to start? The hand-shaped pasties? The mannish pectorals? Or perhaps the coin-filled diaper?
I'm guessing this is either supposed to be a pregnant woman, a pot-bellied man, or a fat Irish cherub who dances for spare change. I've yet to decide which of those options would make the pasties least disturbing, though. [tilting head thoughtfully] Hmm. Maybe the cherub.
Erin W., I've heard of a "coin slot" before, but isn't it supposed to be in the back?

LOL, that cake is wrong on so many levels. I'm not Irish today either.
The source of some pregnancies: someone putting money in your pants and groping your chest.
Whoever made this obviously had too much green beer to drink... GROSS!
DK
If you flip it over, it makes some sense...but it's not much better
That ... that ... THING!?!?!
It looks like something that should be in cold storage at Roswell.
Word verification: ablex. If you're ablex to see something in that thing, you have better eyes than I do.
Does not compute... This is horrific!
WTF is that? Oooh, do you guys remember the Leprechaun movies? Creepy.
It's disturbingly ridiculous!
I don't even get this AT ALL. This is by far the weirdest creepiest (GREEN HANDS!) cake ever. And for your site? That's really saying something!
HAHA! I thought it was upside down; a faceless head with the gypsy scarf.
And this is why you drink the Bailey's -after- you decorate the cake!
I abhor baby belly cakes with all my soul. This pic will now replace the scary alien hand pregger cake as my example of why I will never make one.
My first thought was, "Those are the smallest hands AND the smallest boobs I've ever seen on a pregnant woman."
It's like the St. Patrick's Day version of "Boxing Helena."
There's an unmistakable bump for a belly button there. So this is a torso. Now to figure out the torso of what? I highly doubt it's all that innocent, whichever way you look at it. That or I can't get my mind out of the gutter. =D
Wh-what did I just see?
This is more disturbing than the alien hand of doom. Wow.
I like that your mind goes to the same conclusions as mine...although I didn't think of the cherub angle.
I wonder what flavor it is.
I think the word verification is actually dead on today:
horifics
This is by far the best (and therefore worst) wreck on this site.
Is this some kind of sick baby shower cake? A baby shower that somehow involves a leprechaun groping the mother-to-be while stuffing coins in her underthings?
Truly disturbing
You know, if you turn the picture upside down, it's not quite as bad. It sort of looks like a head wearing a lucky st patricks day scarf.
This is the first time I've been genuinely scared by a cake on this site. With most of the wrecks, there is a way of understanding the (often twisted) logic that led to them being created. But this ... *shakes head in disbelief*
I thought it was a roast chicken cake. Yeesh. Nightmare fodder.
I'm pretty sure if you put the picture upside down, we'll se a whole new picture (maybe not better, but at least a new one!)
What in the name of sanity is that monstronsity?!
My mom and grandma were from Glasgow where you almost needed a translator into English. The only thing I could think of when I saw this is their expression, "God bless the mark." It was used to describe someone or something hideous or ugly, but trying to make it alright. Kind of akin to a Southern woman saying, "Bless his heart."
God Bless The Mark!
lol !!!!! love it!! hilarious!!
Holy moo. What the hell is that thing? Who's boobs are that close together on their torso, leaving all of that extra room on either side? If they are boobs, that is.
Maybe the white piping around the top = the cherub wings...? I have to say, like others have mentioned, upside-down it looks less creepy, albeit still bizarre. What a horrifying cake.
I'm thinking it's upside down - it makes so much more sense if you flip it - really (can it get any worse)
Seriously strange cake! Starting to wonder what the hell pops out when you cut it open? Lucky charms? :P
So horrifying!
At least the shamrock's in its' proper place....
I think the hands are actually supposed to be baby hand silhouettes. Um...I'm not sure if that makes them more or less disturbing. And I think the Giant pecks are supposed to be "her" arm stumps.
Really they should stop making headless torso cakes.
What on God's green earth is it?? Begorrah!
Wait... what is it?!
I've stared at it for a full minute. What on earth is that supposed to be?!?
If I see a leprechaun this month, I'm running as fast as I can in the opposite direction...obviously, those creepy little guys don't fool around jinxing people!
Maybe you should put a second picture turned around beside the first one, and have people vote on which way the cake was made to be viewed. It actually looks better if the "belly" is a head!
OMG! What is this? I still can't figure it out. I love cake, but I wouldn't be able to eat this because it's so disturbing.
My guess it it's Upside Down and Minus the face.
you should be worried about her wings...aaah
well i guess the irish can sell anything right???...maybe not
*blink*
Um...
*blink*
Enough with these disembodied pregnant belly cakes!! Am I the only one who sees Tleilaxu axlotl tanks??
What in the name of time is that supposed to be?
I have rotated my laptop 360 degrees and, I still can't figure out if those are pasties or maybe it is holding it's crotch. I need answers!
For the love of the gods I hope it's a cherub!
lol...i am still laughing about craiger's comment of "a pot-belly of gold"... *snicker*
WV: abiltr... i do not have the abiltr to decipher this catastrophr
I think it looks upsidedown. If you turn it the other way it looks like a fortune teller with gold coins for eyes.
I could never eat this--even with my eyes closed!
tina
I *may* have nightmares about this one!
...I'm Sicilian. I'm exempt from this.
