Dastardly Dad Designs

I guess I have to call this a tie:
Yep - tied for worst icing cohesion and worst neckwear representation. Unless that's supposed to be an alien joystick, of course. In which case, someone needs a checkup. Ew.
How about some tasty powdered hot dogs on the grill?
And for the discriminating Dad, there's always this classic WTF design:Jeremiah L. submitted this beauty over 10 months ago, and I still have no idea what it's supposed to be. A car? A grill? A set of weights? A toolbox? A lunchbox? Elmo? Herbie the Love Bug? A picnic basket? Bertie Bott's fizzing whizbees? Phil Spector? Seriously, WHAT IS THIS?!?
Stephanie H. & Phyllis L., I think I need to lie down for a bit. That white spot on the bottom chocolate cupcake is making me question my own sanity.

...It's got to be chef from South Park. That was all I could see
@Blissfully caffeinated: I think the 'alien' part just came because it's green. However, I do think all future 'joystick' manglings must and should now be called 'alien joysticks'.
Won't that be a lovely tribute to this wreckerator?
Shhhhhhh...
I have secret info on the first cake:
This is actually a prototype for a new BOARD GAME.
(!!!)
Here's how it works:
A bunch of letters & stuff is scattered willy-nilly over the top of a frosted cake, see?
Then you attach a thing --which could be mistaken for a necktie, but which is actually an arrow--to the center.
That's your "spinner".
Players take turns spinning the arrow and seeing if it will hit the letters hard enough and well enough to scatter /rearrange and form actual words. Then they shoot for sentences (or "inscriptions").
Someone was doing pretty well here until a bad spin bopped the "D" right out of the ballpark.
[Ages 6 & up. Not a fat-free game.
Parental guidance discouraged.]
>^@@^<
that last one is seriously the most perplexing cake I have ever seen. WHAT IS IT?
I too believe it is the classic red grill, yet it appears to be a dual axle model-- perhaps to support the seemingly 175 pound lid.
Oooh, sendingtheclowns - you should patent that - or trademark it, or something. A game you can eat is a great idea.
The "powder" on the hot dogs has to be meant as the charcoal ash that clings to the wieners when they inevitably fall through the grill plate onto the coals! Then Mom or Dad takes a long fork and fishes the wienies out and plops them back on the grill. Yum! Nothing like that taste... it is probably the cause of all manner of illnesses.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I thought there already WAS a game (or two) that you can eat.
Or doesn't *everybody* play marbles with gumballs...???
And then, there's also Pin the Tail on the Pizza...
Licorice Lasso Roundup...
My brain is getting foggy....

You say the red "gas grill" was sent to you over 10 months ago. I saw one in my local market yesterday! Apparently this has a template. The salutation was plastic. It is no more comprehensible now, either.
My daughter (6) looked at the last one and said "Oh, a fireplace. Why are they burning the silverware?"
wv: boars- Not all Dad's are boars on father's day. :)
In the name of all that is holy, please.... WTF is that red thing?!?!?! I'm laughing and getting even more confused and freaked out by the second!!!
WV: unico (reads as unique-oh) That sure is one unico wreck.
it a grill. seriously.
I agree the third one is a red gas grill on wheels, but I have to wonder, with all that lovely space on the red lid why did this decorator decide to cram 'Happy Father's Day' into the little brown blob on top?
I think the red CCC is a Mazda that didn't get assembled correctly (or maybe the buyer was supposed to put it together since it wouldn't fit in the box otherwise). The two white CC are s'posed to be the windshield, it's got three tires, a steering wheel...
Zoom, Zoom!
I seriously think I laughed for about 5 minutes on this one.
The description killed me.
My stomach hurts.
It's the Kool-Aid Man! OOOOHHHHHHH YEAHHHHH!
the last one is Snoopy's dog house after his attempt to cook the 'round headed kid' some lunch.
I know what it is: It's a fat lady bending over (away from our view). The chair is breaking as she does so.
Oh my gosh! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!
That hot dogs on the grill one is so nasty! It looks like to peachy pink things at the sides are severed tongues hanging out of the cake! Plus, why are the burgers poo green?
I can't figure out what that last one is supposed to be either, and the longer I look at it, the more I just find myself laughing histerically.
I think it looks like a barber's chair.... I mean, there ARE barbers who are fathers. Maybe even mean fathers that inspire their kids to send them cakes that say, "Hey! we like ya. DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY JOB!"
The white thing on the side? DUH! It's a garbage can! Like, "If you do happen to quit, we can kick Oscar The Grouch out of the can in the alley... So anyway, you keeping your job, RIGHT?!?
phil spector?
hhahahahahahahahahahah
LOL
RMAOFL
you are just unbelievably funny.

thanks for your creativity

I CANNOT stop laughing at this!
Sendingtheclowns-- I've never played marbles with gumballs, but when I was a kid we learned to play poker with uncooked macaroni, and then with chocolate chips. (game ends when there are no chips left....)
It's a grill.....I think!
my husband thinks it's fat albert showing his belt.
it´s a transformer!
I thought that was Chef from South Park.
That last cake..
Simple and obvious...it's a WTFBBQ.
Internet memes as cake. Yum.
Christmas town?
My 2 year old is here with me looking at the cakes on your site, and coming across this one, she tells me "that's not birthday cake, that's couch!" haha, random.
The last one.. it's Epcot!
So many people commented on this one, and not one person pointed out the Harry Potter mistake!
Sorry to be a nitpicker, but Bertie Botts made the Every Flavor Beans, not the Fizzing Whizbees...and sorry to be so late, but I just discovered this blog and I'm going back through old posts.
Awesome for using an HP reference, though!
J
Oh, come now. Bertie Bott makes the jelly beans. Fizzing Whizbees are their own thing.
But that is a hilarious cake, & that's what I'm here for.
Looks like Fat Albert to me.
It's a grill
I think it is supposed to be a grill. The knife and fork are the "tongs" for the BBQ that are hanging off the front handle. Wheels are at the base. The white box, possibly the propane tank??
on the last cake, it's also a wreck because it says "Happy Fahjer! Day." near the top.
but I guess it is sort of small.
the inscription.

I think it is supposed to be a naugahyde Easy Chair seen head on. Great work!
