When the World Is Not Enough...
May 11, 2009 Just cram some more crap on there.
You know those picture books, where you have to find all the hidden objects? I think this cake is kind of like that. So tell me, can you find:
- 6 Styrofoam lollipops
- a picket fence
- a red-eyed demon child riding its trusty star steed
- a gold coin
- enough ribbon to choke half a dozen children
- a dozen roses
- a big thumb print
- what is either a bottle cap or a foil-wrapped candy
- a red jelly bean
- what I hope is an Oreo cookie, and not a rusted metal disc
- tulle, tulle, and more tulle
And in case you didn't spy it, this photo also has an added bonus! See, right here:
(buh dum bump!)Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. (And the week after that, and the week after that...)

I went to a confirmation party yesterday. The cake was lovely, and the contrast makes this one so much worse!
That's one wreck!!!
I cant find the gold coing lol

It probably took them an hour to get to the actual cake.
YIKES!!
Don't forget the badly-spaced, wobbly writing on the side of the cake.
What I love the most is the two christmas trees... 12 days of chritening anyone??
The trees in the background have an amazing resemblance to the pine tree shaped car fresheners. Ewww.
It also looks likes something took a swipe outta the icing on the left corner!
It looks like the dollar store barfed on a perfectly good cake.
LMAO. That cake is so much fun. I love those I Spy games! I wouldn't dare eat it though. So many potential choking hazards. Good way to kill the baby, if thats what you're going for.
BTW...I think the horrid thing DOES say "Welcome to the Christian World" on it...that's just weird!
Uark2003, I'm having trouble too. I can only find 11. They're in the tulle. 8 pink, 1 purple, 1 yellow, and 1 white.
I imagine the final one must be in the front right group. The other corners have 3 each. But I only see 2 in that corner.
*mouth agape*
There are no words.
"Welcome to the Christian World"
If I'd known it was a world of pink and blue icing, rainbows, gold coins, and sprinkle-covered clouds I'd have tried harder to get in!
What does the text on the cake say -- welcome to the ?.... the congregation? the christening? the commotion?
Hmmmm...I would have to say that that cake's probably not doing the Christian world many favors. Truly, truly hideous.
can't...breathe...
thumbprint?!?
you're killing me!
Good lord. If that was MY Christening cake, I'd crawl back into the womb. It's a freaking CandyLand nightmare.
That inverted rainbow is no ordinary rainbow. It is Kouda, a special mushi that appears when it rains. Don't touch it, or you'll become dehydrated if you're not in contact with water at all times!
Does anyone else see what looks like a rotton orange peel on the left under the green lolipop?
Enjoy your trippy cake, Baty Rijah Charlize!
Hey Jen! It's high wedding season. Can we see some wedding wrecks? Mine's next week--let's hope it doesn't end up on here!

Looks like a crazy Christmas house -- way to many ornaments in a little tiny yard.
I think the rusty Oreo is actually a fake penny. Which I'm not necessarily sure is better... at least an Oreo is edible!
"Welcome to the Christian World" want some LSD?
WV:flati. This cake is not a flati-ing portrayal of the Christian world.
Wow, that's really quite... hideous....
I won't even touch "Welcome to the Christian world". Dang.
...and a parr-tri-idge in a pear treeeeee!
>^!!^<
Wow. Wow.
Who knew that the Christian World looked like Psycho CandyLand?
The thumbprint is on the left (as viewed) corner...like someone stuck a finger in it getting it out of the box.
WV:funmeti All this cake needs now is some dat funmeti sprinkle frosting!

"...Soda is very commonly found in glass bottles, so that is a soda, not a beer (note the straw)"
**********
So? BEER is commonly found in bottles, too.
AND, some afficionados claim that drinking booze through a straw gets you buzzed faster. Maybe even drunk--which could WELL have been the motive, here.
=^>.<^=
If this is a supposedly edible creation, then why in the name of FSM are the lollipops made of styrofoam?
That cake looks over flowing! :D
Maybe the baby was Christened in Candyland!
Did Sandra Lee make this $40 $500 cake?
Gee, my godson's christening party only included a simple cake shaped like a cross, with an understated piped blue border.
Poor kid, he didn't realize what he was missing.
EEEP!!!
Looks like a "flotsam float" to me.
Nice bonus, btw. ;)
That has got to be the tackiest Christening cake I've ever seen!
Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows....this is a baby boomer christening! Does Leslie Gore jump out?
Seriously. What the Heck?!?!
You absolutely made looking at that cake fun.
Love the drum roll....
"Seriously, now, inventory's coming up fast and I don't want to count all these styrofoam lollipops and picket fences! Get them out of the bakery....TODAY!"
wv gostedi~ Your lettering is getting a little wobbly, gostedi now."
Welcome to the Christian world!!!
LOL LOL It was never that much fun when I was a kid. I think I would still be in Sunday school if we'd had beer with straws, and cake with toys and stuff all over it! A child (or a stoned high school kid) would love this cake.
I love this cake. IT's making me nostaligic for the "Christian World"................
Did I mention that I work in Mental Health? Crappy cakes like this are good for business once Jr. is an adult.
I'm actually nauseated...
Today marks my husband's and my 7th anniversary. I demand he makes a cake like the first one only with more disney princess and pokemon cake toppers to celebrate this amazing feat of husbandly patience.
I'm pretty sure the top of the cake says, "Welcome to the Christian World" or something close to that. That has to be the strangest Christening cake I've ever seen! BTW, I think I saw TWO gold coins on it. Weird.
WV: gamyt = The objects on this cake run the whole gamyt of things you might find in your junk drawer.
That isn't a beer with straw. Some people are just so stubborn.
That is a COLA drink with a straw.
In the Philippines it is common to have then in glass bottles and even plastic bag with a straw and that bottle is NOT in the shape of a typical beer bottle common in the PI.
I'm another who recognizes the BONUS label from the Philippines. And that cake looks pretty typical for something made there, cheap & over-done. But considering the percapita income there, this was a treat for the family. It's also the reason I made my kids birthday cakes myself while we lived there. :)
I think the cake is a tad overdone. But if the posters are right and this is from the Phillipines, I'm not going to condemn it because it's a cultural difference. Some of our things look or sound pretty funny to other countries too.
wv: Noope. Noope, not gonna make fun of this one!
Yes, that is a soda bottle, Royal Tru Orange to be exact. Although... admit it fellow Filipinos, beer is, more often than not served during Christenings. In fact, all occasions are just an excuse to bring out the San Miguel (beer that is).
And that's not a particularly ugly cake for Filipino standards, it's actually average. haha.
it reminds me of a pop-up book.
Was there a sale on plastic stick-on cake decorations that day?

My 3 yo is now begging for this cake. Shame on you, mystery decorator.
