"Baby" Showers
July 15, 2009 Some cakes make you wonder what species of baby is being welcomed into the world:
"Extra, extra! Read all about it! Swamp Thing procreates!Becomes spokesperson for cloth diapers!"
I think this is a monkey.[German accent] "Wouldst you like to touch my monkey? Touch him! LOVE HIM!!"
And finally, we have our mutant flippered pig-child of perpetual worry:
Or maybe that's pain; it probably hurts to be skewered through the hand with a rose stem.Kimberly L, Erin G., & Justin E., now is the time on Sprockets when we dance.

I'm scarred for life.
That is all.
That middle monkey cake scares me so much. I was very creeped out just looking at it.
Haha! I love it! I gave a baby shower last month and am attending one on Saturday...the cake for the shower I threw was just perfect, thank you! I can't wait to see the one on Saturday...today's post was a great warm-up!

The cakes you feature on here never cease to amaze me. How can cakes really be that bad??!
EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT-THE MISSING LINK FOUND! AND PUT IN CAKE FORM!! So funny!

Oh good God! Those are horrible!
I just realized the last cake is for Lily which is my daughter's name. I must now think of some way to torment her with this.
OMG I didn't even know Miss Piggy was pregnant. Congratulations Piggy and Kermit!
Did that first cake commemorate the birth of Salad Fingers?
I completely hate to say this, BUT, the second cake isn't unintentionally wrecky - it's a very good representation of the subject, which is without a doubt an old monkey doll. My Aunt still has her stuffed monkey doll from when she was little, and it looks just like that.
After writing that out, I don't think that makes it any better. I think that may just make the entire thing more terrifying.
That last one's actually http://dfa.hasawebstore.com/front/clients/dfa/img/boojiboy.jpg" rel="nofollow">Booji Boy from Devo!
Just a few weeks ago I ordered a baby shower cake. You can imagine my disgust when I received: Congratulations Liz and JP. Ugh. Spelled right, no weirdo baby CCC, just a cake made exactly to order.
What a disappointment.
WV: expano. How can you expano this??

That first cake....I remember the day we cut into it. That cake is the cake the decorator made for MY SISTER IN LAW and her new son Tristan for the baby shower. We all got a great kick out of it and me and the lady who sent you this picture both IMMEDIATELY thought of Cake Wrecks.
And thankfully, Tristan was not born green and is very much of the human species. ;-)
that monkey is looking straight into my SOUL... freaky eyes! freaky eyes!
and swamp baby - well babies from the swamp need a warm welcome as well, so...
deformed ccc baby... uh, no words, sorry.
The monkey looks like one of those really hairy kids maury povitch pimps on his show once a year.
Scary, scary monkey. *shudder*
Tristan's cake is cute--it looks like a green baby Grover! XD
The third one, all I can say is, "It a gril! (I think!)"
Our class has decided here at tech school. The first must be a love child of Gonzo and Kermit gone wrong.
No, no, it's not a Monkey! It's a Boy! It says so... right....there.... oh, nevermind.
And I'm angry at Jenny for making me think of Salad Fingers.... that's just not nice at all.
wv: halif. Halif I know what that first cake is about.
The monkey cake looks like either 1) something from Planet of the Apes or 2) one of the characters from Space Chimps. Since the child is clearly too young to have developed and enthusiasm for either, I can't see any sane reason to do that.
m'kay... the first one looks like one of the Muppets.
Why do I hear Peter Gabriel singing "Shock the Monkey" in my head right now?
;)
That monkey cake scares me.
1) Welcome Baby Alien
2) It's a monkey!
3) Poor Lily.
Who makes these wrecks? The first one looks like a cake for Kermit the Frog's baby..
At least with these cakes (unlike the pretty baby cakes), I won't feel guilty stabbing a baby with a knife.
what the hell are those things? These are for HUMAN baby showers, right?
Ha ha! Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance . . .
loved that . . . gotta love Mike Meyer's outfit in that skit too . . . :)
My five-year-old thought the first one was Grover. Maybe.....
Wow!
I love baby shower cakes!
I have three little brothers. So I can see the need for a monkey cake! (snickering) ;o)
I love those boys!
~Lucia
P.S. I am pretty sure that none of my brothers were green at birth!
Oh, and BTW, the first one was supposed to be a Baby FROG to go along with the theme for the Nursery.
Sprockets! Yes! The memories...LMBO!!!
YIKES!!!!
The monkey is a tad cute, the others are just embarrassing.

That monkey cake is gosh dang creepy! [shuddering] It's following me with it's eyes...
Ya know... I'm almost going to be disappointed if my baby shower cake is not a wreck.
That being said, I can't stop laughing over this post. The monkey... is... terrible.
Um....BWHUH?!
Maybe the Monkey cake isn't really a monkey but the mom to be is a big fan of those Geico Cavemen? That's what I thought that was at first!
Looking at the first cake, is it not obvious? The Grouch finally found love.
The monkey is disturbing. I trust this boy child was not born already sporting a beard?
Lily isn't too bad for a cupcake cake, but it does appear she is...what was those plush flesh colored dolls from the 80's.. Hugga Bunch. Yes, much like one of the Hugga Bunch dolls.
Dear god, that last baby cake is scary. Why do people keep insisting they know how to properly make a cupcake cake? Is there even such a thing as a "good" ccc? I challenge the bakeries to make one, just one to prove it can be done.
Are the monkey cake facial features plastic or fondant? I honestly can't tell.
I think it's not a bad monkey cake, but it's a really bad baby shower cake.
AAAAHHHH!!!
My eyes! My eyes!
WV: nessibli ~ those baby cakes are "nessibli" the creepiest babies I have EVER seen.
LMAO!!! Loving the Sprockets reference, I LOVE saying that line. "Liebe meine abshminkey!" (or however the German word for monkey is spelled...)
The monkey's facial parts are just SO wrong...
The monkey cake makes me wonder. I bet the parents had a really cute jungle themed nursery with Curious George type monkeys swinging from palm trees in mind or something... and then they saw this....
When I looked at the first cake I read "Welcome Baby Triton". And it made more sense that way.
It's a cake only a Mother could love...maybe.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh!
*shudder*
The first cake, with the inexplicable, goofy-happy-looking thing --(was it made of flattened Twizzlers?)--I have to say, it's kind of charming, really. But completely lame.
The horrid, ugly monkey looks stoned. And reeeaally stupid. I'm sure he couldn't care less HOW stupid he looks, but DAYAM. It's a lot of stupid.
Each one of these pitiful pastries should have stayed home sick today...if not forever.
Wait- NOT little Lily! I can't help it; she looks so utterly, hopelessly NEEDY that I want to snatch her up in my arms and run home with her and protect her from the big bad world!
Poor little mess...
=^,,^=
A frog , a monkey and Lily , I think I'll get a dog
I think the first cake is cute. But that's because the baby looks like a green Grover, and I love all things Muppets. The other two are just plain scary.
But it's cool Shannon came on and explained things! I think your SIL's decorator needed to look at some pics of real frogs first!
Then, too:
Mr. "IT'S A BO4" is not *really* a cake, even....IS he?
I only ask because he looks suspiciously flat, and his right ear is flopping over onto the table...pretty sloppy manners, if ya ask MOI.
Ever heard the expression, "Ears off the table"?
Sheesh. Some people's monkey-headed children.
