Funny
March 17, 2009 I love labels. See, I titled this post 'Funny', and therefore it is, right? I think that's the theory behind this cake, anyway:
Maybe we should try that with all cakes. See, this next one could be "Lizard Crushed Under Petrified Easter Egg":
Poor guy. Those eyes just about popped out, didn't they?"What Happens When You Ask For 'Happy Birthday Jaime' Around St. Patrick's Day":
And "Recycling Soggy Corn Pops*":
*Speaking of which, Corn Pops has the most insane website for a breakfast cereal I have ever seen. Has Kellogg's gone 'round the bend?

@ Kelli--J'aime" is French for "I like" or "I love", as in "J'aime CakeWrecks". "Mon ami" is French for "my friend". Just had to set that one straight.
And I do believe that the rainbow cake is one of the scariest things I have ever seen...at least, among things claiming to be edible.
CW1 looks like it was a shamrock-birthday cake for Trish, and when it wasn't picked up, they made it "Irish."
Someone at Kellogg should be fired for that website! (needless to say, the cake decorators should go too!)
Yeah, agreeing to the trippy quality of the CornPops website. It reminds me of the "fruity oaty bar" commercial in Serenity, which is to say, Japanese... on crack.
I went to the Corn Pops website and got an obnoxious enough message telling me they want to force me to use Expletive Deleted Flash (TM) to view the site, having turned it off by default.
I can only imagine what the Expletive Deleted Flash (TM) animation is like.
The thing that intrigues me more than anything else about the CornPops website is that it apparently had to load four different times before I could get to the content.
WTF is up with the corn pops website? It's the best web advertising I've seen.... almost as good as the chupa chups website.
lmao at the cornpops.
Is it just me or does it look like someone peed all over them? ewwww gross, I don't like my cakes shiny and wet looking.
Congratulations for the bloggies!!! Aren't you proud with not one, but TWO prizes!!???
You deserve it!
I've often wondered why my son is so fond of Corn Pops. I've also had many moments where I ponder why he has so much darned energy and where the heck he gets it from. Thanks for solving my dilemma!
Apparently, Corn Pops have some form of speed in them, and the Web Site designers eat ALOT of 'em.
Since most of the people I know who eat Corn Pops are adults with "the munchies" on a regular basis, the website seems just about right.
Wow, that Corn Pops website is crazy. I had to leave before finding out if the boy and the monster would indeed become BFF's because the flowers with the mouths were truly frightening.
I hope Jamie did have a happy Patrick because happy Patricks are make the world go round.
At least when they ate some of it, it made it square and centered. I bet it looked even worse.
LOL at anyone believing those are actually Corn Pops. They're butterscotch discs.
And Kelloggs fired Phelps for one lousy bong hit? Somebody was smoking way more than that when they made that Corn Puffs Site!!
Oh my gosh, that corn pops site was INSANE!! I was stunned into silence and couldn't stop watching. Crazy.
I think those corn pop looking things on that cake could be butterscotch candies. Did they melt though? So yuck!
Thanks for the laughs!
You should see how weird the Corn Pops site is without Flash installed. My work laptop usually ruins all of my fun, but seeing that creepy Corn Pops website sans flash really cracked me up!
Borbu -- what you ask for a shot of when you've have too much bourbon.
Hey, how are you doing? Hope all is well
Yuck! The "corn pops" one looks like someone opened a can of corn and dumped it on the cake, corn juice and all!
AAHHHHH! Why did you make me go to that Corn Pops webstite? Freaky
That corn pops web site is the best! Thank you mushy corn pop gold cake.
That website seems a little excessive for breakfast cereal, doesn't it?
Blargh, sticky slurry all over that sad, sad cake. And it looked like it was going to be so happy, with the rainbow and everything.
The "Irish" looks more like a label. What, is the cookie flavored with Baileys? Either that or, "What's the guy's name? Eh, I can't remember. It's got something to do with being Irish. That's good enough."
WV, 'trathr'--Paddy said: "Faith'n begorrah, I t'rather celebrate by rais'in a pint than with that wreck of a cake!"
Finally, truth in advertising!.....
.....I mean the 'Irish' cake not the Corn Pops Cereal Website.
The day I see mouths on a daisy eye is the day I put myself in the nearest mental institution. Yikes!
I feel for that Boy'o Jamie however it could have been worse....
....he's birthday could have been on christmas!
(Come on imagine it for a minute, green and red frosting, Santa.....yet there it is....yes, Jen there could be more worse things that a Irish birthday cake wreck)
Happy St. Patty's and...
Peace,
Clueuin
P.S
istam: when you stammer to much. I stam, I stam, ah forget it!
Funny no?
Anon @ 2:49 - so glad to know that I'm not the only one that realized they were butterscotch candies. I thought that maybe I was hallucinating since everyone else seemed to be seeing Corn Pops (which look totally different).
Still can't believe the Happy Patrick Jamie cake- so pathetic.
Cornpops' site looks like it might induce seizures. Talking lizards just scream mind-altering recreation, somehow.
Someone over at kelloggs is seriously deranged!
"Lizard Crushed by a Petrified Egg" has brightened my day. I could almost hear the heavy THONK! as the egg made contact.
Wow, mushy corn pops, a cake trying to be Irish.......this is one boatload of FAIL.
This post was worth it just for the link to the corn pops website. They must be trippin'.
I think your post belongs in the Blog of "Unnecessary" "Quotation Marks" - I mean, did you intend to question Alec Baldwin's capabilities as an actor (gosh, not that I'm blaming you... I mean, c'mon he IS a Baldwin after all!!)
I think the "corn pops" are actually butterscotch disc candies covered in butterscotch or caramel.
Talk about a sugar rush!
OMG! That pop's site was hilarious! I enjoyed going to Japan and being on a crazy show. Haha!
pigs with flappy wings .. now i've seen everything (i hope) ... that site is JUST SO BAD - i'm really, really, really glad i didn't have the sound on when looking at it .... oh, and the cakes, fantastic wrecks, as usual.
oh my effing god, the corn pops site is like an acid trip. my dog is barking at the screen.
I just about had an epileptic fit looking at that website...
LOL someone had a one track mind when they did that Happy Patricks birthday cake lol
I just went to the Corn Pops website and it like someone ate one of these cakes all by themselves and then while on a sugar icing induced hallucination created the website. The rapping lizard was just too weird.
I was reading your post when my laptop battery died. (Just as I clicked the cereal link) By the time I hade gotten the power cord, I forgot just what I was doing and when the machine reloaded (sound before screen) I was totally at a loss for the strange sounds my new laptop was making. I may actually have been relieved to see that sight as scary as it is.
wv: warally - "Ah warally let my kids eat sugah cereal."
Whoa- what's with the drippy corn niblets at the end of the rainbow? Totally gross.
I was definitely just mesmerized by the cornpops website... wow. just wow.
Irish...I hadn't seen the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
wv..entic...an ent with a tic...it's late and I have no imagination..sowwy.
I saw my first CCC today. It looked like a green blob. I think it was suppose to be a shamrock.
If that first cake was sold around Notre Dame, I wouldn't see an issue with it. Since I grew up there, I don't even see what could be wrong with the cake! Go Irish!
I personally thought that the comment on the "tv star" in quotes was the funniest part of this whole entry! :D
Corn Pops website...definitely on CRACK!
That website hurts my brain
Corn Pops definetly are unique in their website design.
Oof, those cakes are ssooo not appetising.
Sorry for the bad spelling
Mae
@Karen: If you click the link, you'll see the commercial Jen's referring to, in which Alec Baldwin uses air quotes when he introduces himself as a "TV star".
That Corn Pops cake could use a little blue pill to perk it up a bit
Wow yummy...;D
Happy Patricks Jamie..lol..
This cakes are really funny..;D
Thanks for sharing it to us.
I hope you could visit my blog too..
