An Easterly Wind is Blowing
April 6, 2009 It's coming, my friends. Already bakeries are rolling out the pastel dipped confections, the marshmallow Peeps, and lots and lots of adorable, fluffy-looking little...
Whoah. My bad, Mr. Angry, I thought you were someone else. Hey, no need to get your carrot all bent out of shape there; we were just leaving. C'mon, guys.
[walking backwards] As I was saying, bakeries are ramping up the cuteness quotient with plenty of floppy-eared darlings like thi...
Yow! Aw, dude, you shouldn't jump out at people like that! Uh, and you've got a little something on your face there... No, no, you can hardly tell. Really.
Anyway, I'm telling you guys, there really are tons of sweet hippity-hoppity hares infiltrating the bakeries! Just give me another second to find one...
Ah! Here we go:
[Psycho shower-scene music]
Aaaiiieee! It's Lemon Lips, the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! He's got a vicious streak a mile wide - he's a killer! I knew I should have packed the Holy Hand Grenade this morning...
Well, if you'll all join me in running away this direction, we can continue our quest for the cutesy bunnies.
[staring wide-eyed]
Uh.
Right, I give up. Quest over. Hope you all enjoyed your time here today. Kindly exit through the gift shop...
Aviva, Rosie L., Amy D., & Kristin J., this one's for you:

Technically, rabbits are lagomorphs, not rodents. Though lemon-lips the CCC isn't necessarily a rabbit, so I'm still with you on that one.... yeek!
WV: Monsest. superlative of monstery - those bunnies where the monsest I've seen in a long while..
Bad bunnies. bleeding bunnies? who decided to mix Easter with Halloween?
That bleeding-eyed rabbit is an escapee from Watership Downs, ack!! That book scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid, and now I see it immortalized in sugar?! I'm running faster than you!!
Bleeding goughed-out Easter Bunny eye cakes? Awesome!
in this spirit of geekiness to which i believe this website subscribes, i must humbly submit the fact that rabbits are not actually rodents.
they belong to the order of lagomorphs.
Whoa! That 3rd one looks more like this than the Easter Bunny:

First, I screamed. Then I laughed. The bleeding eye bunny is just too great. I hate Easter. I have a rabbit phobia but the idea of munching down on some bleeding eye rabbit deliciousness is just too....well, I'd suffer through it.
Lemon Lips looks so much like Stitch's cave-dwelling, flesh-eating cousin it's legitimately frightening. D: D: D:
Cake #1 - I've heard that eating too many carrots can turn your skin orange, but I never knew it would be concentrated in one...um...area.
Cake #2 - The bleeding tears bunny would make an awesome b-day cake for Glenn Close.
Cake #3 - My gawd...what is wrong with people?!?
It's "Night of the Lepus" come to life, Cakewrecks style!

BWAH HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Let me guess, the people working in the bakery really hate Easter. And that last bunny totally licked a funny stamp. :P
What , no Monty Python Holy Grail references???
"that's a Mean Bunny!!!" LOL
That angry bunny nearly made me jump (hop?) out of my chair. That is one ANGRY bunny! And I agree with Veronica - the third one looks like one of the experiments from Lilo & Stitch, or maybe something from Pokemon????
Holy hell! The whole office is laughing with me on this one! That's the scariest thing I've ever seen...poor bloody-eyed bunny.
Rabbit #2 is what happened when the Nazi rabbits opened the Ark of the Covenant...
Wow, these are scary! Who is buying such awful cakes?
So people are willing to point out that rabbits aren't rodents and totally skip over the Monty Python reference? For shame.
Maybe these are Watership Downs cakes and not Easter cakes like Jasry said...
Jen you better lob that Holy Hand Grenade quickly....one, two FIVE! (three, sir!)
"That bleeding-eyed rabbit is an escapee from Watership Down, ack!!"
Ahahahahahaha!!! My son just finished the book; I can't WAIT to show him this! :D
"Look at the BONES!"
Loved the Monty Python quote Jen. Made my day. :)
Those cakes are just.....well, creepy.
Number Four could almost pass for Groucho Marx...

Hahahahaha... I love the Holy Hand Greneade reference. But methinks the CCC bunny looks more like someone crossed a rabbit with an Aboniable Snowman... look at those claws, yipe!
That one takes me back to Bunnicula one of my very first vampire books.
It's Bunnicula!! The vampire bunny of famous children's literature!
I was thinking something from gremlins on that third bunny...
Is it just me or does the second rabbit look like "The Holy Grail" killer rabbit.
Aaaaaaah! You shouldn't do that to people on Monday am! Man, I thought my nightmares had come to life!
(yes, this post totally deserved all of those exclamation points!! lol)
The last one looks like Bozo the Bunny gone awry.

As anyone fortunate enough to have house rabbits will tell you (I have two), bunnies can be quite disapproving and ill-tempered, as these cake decoraters are no doubt aware! I'm backing up my case with a link to another one of my favorite blogs:
http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com/
haha...seriously. As per usual, your commentary on the photos is the highlight of my day - I never start a day without it!
LOVED the Monty reference.
a.
ps - you have me secretly wishing that the next cake I order will be a wreck, so I have something to contribute :)
The bleeding one made me think of the suicide bunnies : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Bunny_Suicides
Jason,
It takes a lot to make me chuckle at a comment. I mean I read THOUSANDS.
But I laughed out loud at yours. Seriously.
Grateful for the morning laugh,
john
Completely forgot about Good Friday...WOOT!

#3: Chupacabra!
The first one I couldn't tell if it was a dimented sperm (ok I'm dirty) with a carrot coming out of it...Or just a dimented something with a dimented carrot coming out of it.
The third cake looked like a cross between The Easter bunny and Some Holloween beast thing.....
Good thing I don't celebrate Easter?
The second last CCC lemon lips kinda looks like something from the "Gremlins" movie.... but made of cake....
Those are really scary!!!
I'm scared... the bunnies are scaring me...
I'm telling you, that CCC is a Gremlin!
-Sea Nymph- said The bleeding one made me think of the suicide bunnies
Yes! My boss brought that book in to work a while back. Clearly he shares my sick sense of humor. I should share these wrecks with him.
Oh, also: the celery stalks at midnight!
WV: tamet. That bunny is so wild, no one has yet been able to tamet.
Perfect - just what I need to keep those blasted kids away from my Easter eggs!
I dunno, somehow, Stigmata Bunny seems appropriate for Easter.
I'm about to be fired for uncontrollable laughter.
My first thought when I saw #2 was the Holy Handgrenade. Now I think it should be used for all of them!
Hah, I'm glad to see SOME of you are getting the Monty Python reference - that "rodent" line is a direct quote. Perhaps I'm being too subtle?

Thank you, fair readers, for posting reference to the Killer Bunny of Caerbannog before I got to the post. My faith in humanity restored, I now return to work.
(Let's not discuss the yardstick with which I measure my faith in humanity, shall we?)
Lemon lips might be a lamb, not a bunny. Or perhaps it's the bastard child of a lamb and a bunny. Definitely odd for sure.
These are terrible!! These should be saved for Halloween. We need to save the childrens eyes.
Those are awesome!! Love the bloody bunny eyeball cake (now there's a phrase I never thought I'd say)... he's so sweet and cute and AHHHHHHHH, he's shot... right in the eye. That's gotta hurt.
The cake on the front page of carvel.com has a petrified-looking swirly bunny. (I found out through a circular.)
Mommy, I want a bleedy-eye bunny cake for easter to celebrate our risen Lord! Oh PLEEEEASE Mommy!!!
Crimeny, those things are freaking SCARY.
