"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.

One word: CREEPY!!!
OMG! Frog baby cakes (actually a cute nickname) and that last one - EEEE GADS! The horrendous CCC strikes again!
The monkey is cute and well done and probably for a monkey themed shower...all in all, the best one going today!
OH! That last CCC made me fall over. That may be the best one is the history of ALL CCC wrecks! Can you do an wards show blog?
Maybe Karl Pilkington ordered the Tristan cake.
"You can be an ugly baby and everyone goes "awww innit nice?" There was some women in a cafe the other week that I was sat in, and she came up and she sat down with her mate and she was talkin' loudly goin' on about "oh the baby's lovely." They said it's got, er, lovely big eyes, er, really big hands and feet. Now that doesn't sound like a nice baby to me. I felt like sayin' it sounds like a frog.

I actually like the swamp baby cake!! It's nicely done on a green theme color... and beats eating a real-looking baby cake.
Congrats Shannon! and Tristan of course.
Oh Jen, you should have put a warning on that pregnant women shouldn't look at today's entries. When I was pregnant with my first, I dreamed I gave birth to a frog, in the front seat of the car. Fortunately, I had a boy, not a frog, and we made it to the doctor's office, but not the hospital.
OMG. That is the scariest monkey I have ever seen. I now feel very guilty for calling my little man 'monkey' when he was born!
And that might be the worst CCC I've ever seen.
Oh my gosh... Those were HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That monkey cake was for a baby with Werewolf Syndrome! (This comment is wrong in so many ways!)
I just LOVE this blog!!
It's amazing!
I can't deny that my fav section is what brides asked, and what they got.
Just keep up the amazing work!

P.S: I didn't know that the black pastries with the bone on the head were called "Africancitos"... it was a whole surprise for me...maybe it was only in that bakery!!!
the monkey....so scary
That is the creepiest monkey I have ever seen.
The pain baby looks like it has a dirty diaper!
My theory on that last cake is that it's supposed to represent the pregnant mother, not the baby. Check it out - she's wearing makeup and looks to be about seven months along. And she's concerned because the father ditched her six months ago.
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA
these are great!!!!
ET on the last one...
CC
omg, that last one is so hideous it made me laugh.
then reading "mutant flippered pig-child" made me laugh even more.
how can you produce a cake like that and think it looks suitable for other people to see/purchase?
Monkey cake looks pretty cool
Maybe Baby Tristan was a water birth and it's part of a froggy in-joke.
OR
Due to an unfortunate radioactive spillage near the maternity ward...
HAHAHAHA!! mutant flippered pig child! That's great!
I'm sorry, but ick. And not only does poor Lily have a rose-skewered hand, but she has some kind of hernia or tumor growing out of her little tummy.

What ever happened to baby booties and pastel flowers? "Hey, let's make a cake that is both difficult AND creepy!"
Good grief! Why can't cupcakes just be cupcakes and cakes be cakes - not cupcakecakes? How did this weird trend start, anyhow?
horrid, horrid, horrid. those might be the worst, THE WORST, i've ever seen on this site. i feel like i'm going to cry.
I love the gremlin at the top. It reminds me of something (not ET) but I"m not sure what.
The first one is a tarbaby.
#2 is the love child of Chuck Norris and Bonzo (look at the lips if you don't believe me!).
#3 is just a mutant.
That monkey is one of the creepiest things I've seen in a long time. It just kind of stares right into your soul....and there's just no excuse for the other cakes. I mean, what the heck?
Goodness....each of those is it's own nightmare
My son's name is Tristan, so I found that first cake particularly disturbing, lol. Although I do like the PP's idea about "Tristan" being an alien life force. I'll have to remember that! ;)
the first one looks like Grover.
Ok, so I am the one who ordered and paid for (yes I said PAID FOR!) the last cake of the freaky Hugga Bunch baby. Let me explain...It was for a baby shower for a girl at work so I wanted a cupcake cake so we wouldnt have to worry with utensils, etc. When I went into the bakery to order it I didnt really like any of the designs and the girl behind the counter assured me that she could make a baby and actually said and I quote, "I am very good at designing cupcake cakes." I was actually imagining a profile of a baby crawling or something. You get my drift... You can imagine my reaction when I saw this freak of nature! I almost peed my pants laughing! The lady actually asked me how I liked it, which let me know right away that she actually thought it was a very nice cake! I felt so bad that I just said, "Yep, sure." and I went to pay. Yes, I did pay because I felt so bad that she thought she had done a good job and I didnt have the heart to tell her that it was quite possibly the worst looking cake I have ever seen in my life! The picture didnt come out very well because we used our crappy office camera but the outline of the baby was made with a runny chocolate sauce of some sort! The pink funeral flower also made a very nice touch. The best thing was that it actually made for a very fun baby shower! We laughed the whole time and got a picture of the parent's to be reactions when they saw the cake. Of course they knew something was up because none of us could keep a straight face. We threw a sheet over it and had an "unveiling of the cake" if you will. I still think it would make for a great episode of "The Office" which is my favorite show! Hilarious!
Thank you so much for the obscure Mike Meyers "Sprockets" reference. It made my night!
I think the monkey is nicely done, hehe.
Yikes! As long as the monkey is a monkey, ok. But really? The others are just terrifying. And I thought mine was strange (it said "Happy Labor Day" - and guess what - I went into premature labor that night!) but these are just scary.
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

To Marji: Yes – as Tara said above, this was for our baby shower at my wife’s company, and they definitely paid for it. In the end, I think it was worth every penny as it kept everybody laughing for most of the 30-minute shower… :)
To knitorpurl: My wife’s coworkers actually did anticipate the moment, and had their camera ready. I think I still have the pic somewhere… :)
To studiorose: I like your theory… Maybe it was supposed to be my wife and not my beautiful baby girl. But, wait – my wife doesn’t look like that either, thank god! Oh, and also, we’ve been together for 15 years and counting, so nobody ditched out… :)

When I saw the face on your "mutant flippered pig-child of perpetual worry," I thought it looked familiar. A quick google turned up why. Remember "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" Scary. Horror movie. Bette Davis. See for yourself! http://www.horrorstew.com/images/BabyJane004.jpg
