The Joker's Revenge
August 13, 2009 Thank goodness for those big photo books at the bakery counter. You know, the ones with all the cake designs in them? Yeah. Without those, how would we ever know what toys come with the cake?
What's that? You thought the books showed the cake designs, too? Ah. Please excuse me for a moment, while I turn my head and laugh heartily at your oh-so-sweet naivete.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Ahah.
I do so love shattering expectations.
Here's what Naomi J. ordered:
"Taxi!"
Great slithering slabs of slime-secreting slugs, Sally!(Sorry Naomi; I needed an S name.)
Note how all that airbrush dye pools together and glistens wetly in the light. Mmm. And the way that blackened, moldy green offsets the fluorescent green border. Yeah, that's tasty. And, of course, there's the eclair-filling slug bombs; can't forget those.
However, you should also note - and in the decorator's defense - that the batman toys look exactly the same. Hooray, photo book!

Holy hack job, batman! This is beyond 'wreck'. And the slugs... I haven't seen something so revolting since those slug things in the swamp in the latest remake of "King Kong". *shudders*
Heh, my "word verification" was bakedu... fitting, this was definitely baked doo
So MonkeeMama, what was the decorator's excuse for it looking like that? I'm glad they didn't charge you full price for it!
BWAHAHAHH... Now I am no Batman fan, but is the Batmobile really able to "climb" buildings? How can he not even bable to place the car on the road?
What really horrifies me is that the slug blobs appear to be a "fix". See the yellow beneath? Like... they airbrushed the lines? And then decided, "Oh, no, that won't do. Let me fix this. Ah! There we go. Perfect."
Vomit.
I can't imagine putting any of that yucky, paint-slick glop in my mouth.
What is up with people who can't even make a decent shell border??? I could do that when I was ten years old! Squeeze, pull, release the icing. I mean...seriously!
lol "why so srs"
I may never be able to eat an eclair or other cream-filled delight again. Those "dashes" look off.
Eekk. How awful. Again, I wouldn't pay for that.

Erm, it occurs to me, I could toke at midnight, consume questionable mushrooms, and take a handful of random pills, and *still* do better than that.
...hey, if I can do a perfect manicure under such "midnight" conditions, I can do a passable cake too...not necessarily picture perfect, but certainly not a vile horror!
wow...I have no words..I hope they didn't have to pay for it. Looking at it is bad enough. maybe we can at least hope it was tasty.
Holy cow, Robin! I was jarred almost right out of my chair as I scrolled down to see what Naomi had to lug home and then somehow explain to poor little 4 year old Jackson. Looks like an infestation of giant slugs has taken over the road there. And what? No Bat signal?! Shameful. Just shameful.
I wish I had took a pic of my son's 2nd bday. it didnt come home with me. It was a doggie sheet cake with red and blue. But the one I got was a plain white cake with a outline dog bone in the middle with jerry in it and my sons name is jeremiah. I almost cried. I was like I refue to pay for this and then they called the manager who said it was half price. I was not nice.
WHO THE HECK SHORTENS NAMES WITHOUT PERMISSION
Check this one out! An In-N-Out combo meal cake! My favorite is the amazing fries with salt!

Just for the record: I just found out about this website when I was discussing it with my friend, who recommended that I send it in. Thanks Jen M! Now I am hooked to the blog and will probably never ever experience a postable wreck like this again! Luckily for the future of all of my kids birthdays!:)
ROFL Oh my gosh! That's disgusting. I kept looking at the pic of the book cake and trying to figure out why the slugs were there. it was the wreckorators attempt at the lines on the road. lol And the Bakery manager let it go out the door!
sick and wrong... sick AND wrong.
I look at so many of these entries and am appalled at the results. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't pay for that lame excuse of a cake. I mean, maybe I would just so that I could take it home and take a picture to submit to this blog, but I'd still complain to the manager.
Glad that Jackson was happy.
Have you ever looked at a picture and then tried to draw it again with your eyes closed? Yeh, it sort of looks like they were doing that.
I was debating whether or not to look at the end result...
*face palm*
I'm sorry I looked... that was just awful.
BAHAHAhaha...this is one of the funniest ones yet.
"Glisten" is the perfect word to describe that cake. It sounds /exactly/ like that cake looks: shiny and oily. Yuck!
I think they airbrushed OVER the letters.
I bet you anything the decorator was off that day and a poor untrained co-worker had to make it last minute. D:
You are always clever with titles, but "The Joker`s Revenge" is exceptionally fitting.
I ordered that exact cake for my son's 6th birthday, fortunately it looked like the first picture. What on earth are those 'slugs'???

"This gives me an idea for playing the game "telephone" with wrecks.
Take a picture of a wreck, go into a store and ask for that design. Receive worse wreck in return. Take a picture of it. Repeat until no longer recognizable."

Hey, look! They already used your idea!
They are REAL pros, though, to be able to get to "no longer recognizable" in only ONE step.
>^!!^<
Now. This is how I REALLY feel:
It's for a kid!! A very YOUNG kid.
And it has little-kid-and-especially-boys-stuff all OVER it:
Batman. Batman TOYS!
Frosting. Very COLORFUL frosting!
And the best thing of all: it was Jackson's BIRTHDAY!
Excitement and fun and being young...!
((SIGH)) Call me a hopeless romantic, but I LIKE this thing.
ONE word..Hideous
'nuff said!
Wow..that is something I would definitely not pay for.
"Missed mark" is truly an understatement.
my first thought o those 'slugs' was "why did they put garlic cloves on a cake with batman?" i don't know which i'd prefer...ew.
Urp. Of all the grotesque things that we've seen on cakes... those slugs, which I believe are supposed to represent road striping, might be the very worst. They look...[shuddering] like puss... infected puss. Excuse me, I must run away now I think I'm going to hurl... happy thoughts...happy thoughts!
what is up with the 1-2 cake per post lately :( has been very dissapointing
I don't think that's airbrushing under the banana slugs. I think that the lefthand slug actually slipped a bit (or crawled away) after it was "piped" on the cake, taking the airbrushed colour with it. Either way, it's a horrible cake. I can't imagine what an awkward situation that would be looking at this thing with your 4yr old excited about the toys.
In a kinda backwards way...there is a certain skill involved in being able to make a highway line look like a slug. Maybe this is really symbols upon symbols in a cake.
Or maybe it's a wreckerpiece.
Oh, for the love of Pete.
That cake would be rejected and NOT paid for on the spot and I would have a few choice words for the bakery manager too !
A pre-made cake in the cooler would however be a good substitute ( with no writing on it at all ) I wouldn't take any chances...
My son had that exact same cake years ago. Fortunately, our local cake decorators take a lot of pride in their cakes and his turned out really good. How disappointed they must have been. I have been so fortunate to have never bought a wreck so far. Tho my hubby (after drinking a few beers) did attempt to make my 30th bday cake and after eating it, my son informed me that the reason it had cake crumbs all over the icing was because his dad had dropped it in the floor and then tried to "glue it back" with icing. nice.
She didn't actually PAY for that, did she?
The yellow "lines" in the road look like blobs of pudding!
Ahhh...I can SO picture little Jackson taking one index finger and going straight for those fat, yummy sluggies right off the bat [no bat pun intended].
~~~~mmmmmmmm~~~~
Can also imagine wanting to try out Batman's skills at surfing across the cake while perched on top of the Batmobile...WHEEEE!
wow, that is horrible! hope she didnt pay much for it!!
Wuaaaaa..What happen? I think it turn like the most dark night ever! And what was Batman telling, is he calling a taxi or Joker?! =D

Batman should never have to go through this.
mmm slugs. Not what I originally thought they were. Slugs is actually better.
Give them a break! They obviously lost their stencils. :D
what a hot mess...
I think you have finally found a cake which upsets me.
The first cake looked kinda wrecky to begin with, but the second...
WV: "evagging" The second cake made me so disgusted, I was evagging.
FLMAO! this is PRETTY BAD! how are they even allowed to SELL THESE? there's NO way in hell i would pay for this wreck if i ordered a licensed cake and THIS monstrosity is what i got! that's INSANE! and FUGLY as hell!! lmao
o_O That hurts my brain.
I thought the same thing as Jael (way up at the top) about being happy that the "artist" didn't try to recreate the exhaust. (Probably would have been in choclate, but let's not go there!)
And the only thing that comes to mind is "and me without a spoon." *strolls off humming the tune to "great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts..."*
Wow. I have no words...
(Except my little sister just pointed out that the non hitler-saluting arm is actually in a different position on the second cake than the first. Maybe it's the angle?)
Actually, I don't think they are the same toys. Batman's limbs are in different positions, and the first car is smaller and shinier.
Of course, if the cake looked better, that wouldn't matter.
