Father's Day Wrap-Up
June 22, 2009 Ok, last Dad's Day post, I promise. (But keep in mind that crossing my fingers behind my back nullifies any and all aforementioned promises.)
Yesterday fathers across the globe were given heartfelt messages from their children.
Messages like, "Aren't you glad you put me through college?"
(And if ever there was an icing color that should be banned, "radioactive vomit green" should be it.)
(I saw "Doty" for a solid 30 seconds before realizing that's a wonky capital "A".)Or, "Are you getting enough fiber?"
Eww.Then there are the less complimentary messages, though I'm sure they were just as heartfelt. Really.
Or, "I can't even bring myself to call you 'Dad'."
I think this one is "Squint your eyes and it could almost be golf-related, Grandpa."
(Get it? "Grandpa?" 'Cuz it says "Father's Dad"?Ah, you're no fun at all.)
I guess a lot of people were hoping for "happy father dads":
And finally there's the classic backhanded compliment: "You're #1...
"...at beating orange bunnies with a baseball bat.*"Vanessa B., Shylah E., Jujyfruit, Amanda L., Mary F., Lauren C., & Bekka T., I hear that's the most sportsmanlike way to go. * Yes, I know it's supposed to be a fish. So don't go pulling a "Spaceship Earth" on me, hear?

Father's Dad and bunnies. My day is complete. Thank you.
The "Deputy Daddy" plastic thingy on the "Your the Bestest" just puts that one over the top IMHO. Usually every successive wreck manages to top the previous, but today you started with the best. OK, the orange bunny meets baseball bat is pretty close.
"(I saw "Doty" for a solid 30 seconds before realizing that's a wonky capital "A".)"
Sadly, I didn't realize what was going on there until you spelled it out for me...
Okay cake #7....WHAT IS THAT????? The last one is a fish on a fishing rod line but I think your baseball bat with orange bunnies sounds much funnier. :D
Happy Fathers Day. Here's your poop cupcake. No not a whole poop cake. We wanted it to be special...individually sized...just for you...cuz we L-u-u-u-u-v You! :D
That is not a fish. it is a squat, deformed penis! which basically tells us that dad is really good at.... beating the... (yeah you get what I'm saying right?)
I still can't believe that bakeries try to get by selling things like this... surely the wreckporters were like me & just took pictures at the store/bakery they saw them in & didn't actually pay money for them. Yikes.
And I think it looks more like a bunny than a fish, too.
Those brown blobs......gross... what were they suppose to be?? The needing more fiber definitely explains what they really look like!
And... is that Bert's shirt?? I guess Bert kinda was the Dad to Ernie....
beating orange bunnies- LOL
Oh.. Molly C... YOU ARE HILARIOUS!
Uh, the 4th pic kind of made me throw up a little. Were those supposed to look like big piles of dog poo?
I saw a golf club about to hammer a fish - at least, until I saw the "fishing line".
Happy belated Farther Salters Dades! :)
Molly C--
Thanks for a long laugh to get my day going!
What the heck is that poo pile cake really supposed to be?
WV-- porec As is, that is one porec of a cake.
Did the same bakery wreck all those chocolate chip cookie cakes? And was I supposed to know that my dad and husband would want a CCCC- "the official dessert wreck of Farthers' Dad."
Note to self:
Never (ever) airbrush a cookie. More specifically, never airbrush grass onto a cookie. Failure to follow these instructions will cause said cookie to be very moldy looking and unedible.
Love,
Me
wv: ousnost- One ousnost serve moldy cookie to their guests.

It's hard to drink my coffee when I'm giggling uncontrollably.
Even after studying it, Cake #8, the orange one, looks likes "Happy Fatter Dad" to me.
And the "Doty" cake also appears to say "fatten" or "fatter"
"Happy Fatten Doty" ? I'll take it!

Thanks for the morning funny. Father's day may be over, but it's not forgotten.
Jen, tsk tsk tsk. *Shakes head* I cannot believe you didn't see the plastic tie on that shirt! *Sigh*
Cake Wrecks has inspired me to make my dad a cake that is beyond my abilities for his birthday... I think I will make a baseball stadium... with plastic ballplayers... and an oversized ball... and perhaps something that resembles an orange bunny hopping on the field... and I will write Happy Birther's Dad, Day....
I would have forever read doty if you hadn't pointed it out what it was supposed to be.
What is up with all the father's day cookie cakes?! What, dad's don't deserve real cakes? awww
Dad isn't even the Sheriff - he's the DEPUTY.
Too funny! Great laugh for the morning, when I really needed it.

But why is the fish emitting a trail of white smoke?
I am so lost on the golf cookie/cake. What are the blue lines supposed to be?
I think the bunny looks more like a gold fish.

I'm glad you told me it was supposed to be a fish. I was completely stumped. The green one still has me confused. I can't even see a resemblance to golf!
I got it, I got it! The Father's Dad thing, that is. hee hee. Thanks for the giggles everyday.
but still, why a baseball bat and a fish?!?
That Father's Dad cake is so funny. What is going on there??
I'm sure this is going to have been pointed out at least six times by posters in between the last time comments were put through and the time mine is, but I'm puzzled by the last one. It's been a while since I've gone fishing, but shouldn't the line come from the top of the fishing pole, not the bottom? Unless there's a new type of fishing poles I don't know about where you put the line underwater and hold the pole by the top.
My three year old said, "What is that? Is that a spider web cake? I have never seen a spider web cake before." LOL I guess the golf theory is a bit of a stretch for him too.
cracking up at those cakes was a good way to start my day.
@Anne: The rod is poorly drawn but not upside down. The black dot on it is supposed to be the reel
I love how the "golfing" cookie-cake looks like it was covered in green frosting and then had it scraped off for a do-over. So now the whole thing looks like it's covered in a thin layer of mold!
Those cakes are all ugly...but as long as they taste good, who cares!
I actually assumed the so-called "golf" cake is supposed to be a sailboat, and the blue lines roughly represent the sail. What that white line with the triangular thing is is beyond me. Maybe an oar (not usually used in a sailboat, I admit, but the whole cake has me stumped)?

I also thought the Deputy Daddy thing made it even worse and also didnt see 'DAy' - cifined but I thought it said 'Daty'
Ok so i totally love the color scheme on the first one...yeah that gree will probably make some crazy poop the next day, but i liked it!!
The beating bunnies thing cracked the the H up!!
Lmao at the beating orange bunnies crack.
okay, so the "golf" one...
definitely looks as though someone iced half of it green (for grass, i guess) and the other half blue (resembling a sky?) and then decided to try another route, so they scraped ALL of that icing off, leaving behind traces of blue and green soaked into the cookie.
and then re-iced it to resemble something unknown to anyone but the actual wreckerator themselves.
anyone agree?
Really, can someone explain the golf cake to me? I'm still not seeing it.
And if you hadn't explained Doty, I wouldn't have seen that it was supposed to be DAY either.
"Happy Father's Dad" indeed! That's one glad grandpa! Ugh...they never cease to amaze me...
Well I certainly didn't realize it was a fish! Beating bunnies with bats was my first guess! ...I didn't realize that was supposed to be an "a", either...
Nothing says I love you Dad more than a poop cupcake (wince)
Oh! It's supposed to be a fishing rod.
That whole image of orange bunnies and baseball bats had thrown me for a loop so I couldn't see it.
WV is "Jusses." Jusses is served when wrecky cakes get displayed on Cake Wrecks so we may all mock them.
why do they make the frosting look like poop?? don't they know it looks like poop!!!!????? this i will never understand.
I love the two last ones. They're note very representative of anything. This "golf" related one must be an ugly sailboat in an extremely algae infested pond. The bunny one is, as you said, a fishing rod and oddly shaped fish. I wonder if people need to learn more about boats and tackle?
I deeply enjoy the poop cakes.
You made me laugh out loud at work! Thanks I needed that...
