Butterfly Misses
August 27, 2009 [singing] "There's two things I know for sure:
"These Wrecks number seven..." (okay, six)
"And they'll make you want to hurl!"Sorry for inflicting you with that song. Heh. Ok, now let's see how else bakeries destroy the seemingly simple butterfly, shall we?
And we can't have that, now, can we?
First, every Wreckerator knows you have to make butterflies out of cupcakes. Otherwise, you run the risk of them looking like...well, butterflies.
And we can't have that, now, can we?But malformed, lumpy wings just aren't enough. Sometimes a wacky mustache is needed:
"Oui oui, I believe I have, how you say, wee wee'd mehself! Hon hon hon!"
Uh, guys? Exactly which demographic are you going for here? I mean, I don't think little boys are wild about butterflies, and little girls don't usually like camo OR poop.
"Oui oui, I believe I have, how you say, wee wee'd mehself! Hon hon hon!"Or maybe a turd-errific, camo-riddled model:

Are you sure the camo one isn't a turtle?
I saw that third one in middle school science class. That's a chromosome pair.
Oh no way! Those poor, poor butterflies!
I have to say, for a CCC (ptooey!), the wings on that last one are pretty good (if you think about what butterfly wings look like on some species). That is a rather unfortunate color for the um, center part, and the um, stripes don't help either....
wv: surame
It's a surame what those wreckorators did to those "butterflies".
Yikes. Big shiny slimy-looking black slugs with "wings." Mmmmm.
Seven? Am I missing something? Or is one of these so bad that it counts as two? Your call, gentle readers: where's the double wreck?
WV: trimpl. These cup"cakes" trimpl all over the bounds of good taste.
BWA HA HA HA HA HA @ Happy Ending!!!
I am a little curious as to how those slugs grew wings. I am sure all the other slugs on the block are very jealous.
I am wondering if the moldy spotted one is a turtle. It sorta looks like it could be a turtle. Attached to his brother. And they never agree on where they are going.

I kinda like the last one.... it's cute.
The others should be burned.
Poor wonky butterflies!
WV-jught- A contraction of just and might. "Put one of them there moose-stashes on that there butterfly. There, that jught do it!"
That last one looks like a penis with wings. Just sayin'... :o
on the last CW, I thought you meant "happy ending" because it looked sort of okay, and then I looked longer (and harder) and saw the middle....and, oh, DISGUSTING.
why aren't CCCs banned? because then Jen would have nothing to post.
The camo-poop butterfly is horrific. But the flesh colored, phallic looking butterfly about did me in.
I wonder what they would come up with if someone ordered a butterfly BANDAGE cake. >.>
Oh my gosh!
I don't think I've ever seen a malformed butterfly like them in my life...
And the camo and poop butterfly? I don't think even my brother would like that one
Another great post that had me in stitches yet again :P
And my verification word was Mothe... It's a sign lmao
an x rated butterfly cake... just when you thought you ahve seen it all.
..."these wrecks number seven." I'm only counting six -- unless the final monstrosity and it's heaving member count as two! ; )
Those are not the best butterflies I've ever seen, but what concerned me most was the big bleeding cockroach on the lower right on cake #2. Because if that's supposed to be a butterfly it's a little too obese to fly on those skinny wings.
At first look, that last one, while terribly wonky, was still kind of pretty. But then I looked again and ... oh, oh my!
Wreckage know no end. Thankfully I have not had coffee yet... camo-fly would have done me (And my monitor) in.
Wow! That last one could have been nice if it wasn't for the unfortunate choice of worm color. Uh, do you think the decorator did that unintentionally, or is it from an "erotic cake" bakery?
Little girls don't usually like camo or poop. That is my new favorite saying!
LMAO @ at the happy ending butterfly. That's sick - yet very funny.
I thought for sure that the camo entry was conjoined Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle twins.

If that wretched song is in my head for the rest of the day, I'm going to shove you down some stairs. :-)
* ow * my eyes hurt!!!
i really should stop looking at your entries first thing in the morning (except sundays) -- i'm unable to function for an hour after that! (:D but what a fun way to get non-functional...)
I was thinking to myself, 'that last one is actually very pretty'... and then I saw it .... it was like the loss of my innocence all over again.
You know, I kind of think the last butterfly is cute. A little girl would love that cake!
But seriously, what's with the green camo with poop on it? How can the baker/decorator NOT see the resemblance to... well... poop? Do they laugh when customers with no...ummm... taste buy them? Do they snigger in the back "We got someone to buy the poop butterfly! hur hur hur!"
Oi...
Oh, the poor, poor, maligned butterfly! Kinda makes you want to return to the cocoon, doesn't it?
I so want the frosting on the French butterfly. That looks like some YUM-MY buttercream. Let me at it!!
Is it just me or does that last one resemble a certain part of the male genitalia?
haha
Natalie
That last one's shaped like something not-so kid friendly! :O
The top wings of the 4th one look like dog bones and I think that mustache is antannae gone wrong!
My girls would love the last one. It's very cute and girly despite being a little lopsided!

Happy ending. HA!
oh, mercy! Happy ending! lmao
Wow. Just . . . wow. (The awesomeness of today's commentary almost covers over the hurl-worthiness of the CCCs! Almost.)
O_O That last one seems to be a very happy... erm.. butterfly boy.
That last butterfly looks like a penis.
Seriously.
Are butterfly cakes ALWAYS cupcake cakes?
oh.my. A penis with wings. Wow!
Yack...Those are barf-tastic.
I find it oddly amusing that the majority of cakes that you do see are CCC. It's like "Are you REALLY going to try to make something look normally shaped out of round objects? Good luck..."
That last one... No comment!
Oh, love the last one! I KNEW it could be done.
Wow, the last cake. Phallic.
Wow.
My 3 year old is looking over my shoulder and we got to the third one and he goes a BONE cake. I keep telling him its supposed to be a butterfly, but he insists its a bone.
They put wings on panty liners so I guess putting wings on a penis wasn't that far a stretch. Good grief.
I think I've seen that camo-turd-riffic cake before...eww. I didn't need to see it a second time.
I dunno... is that a camo butterfly or a turtle wearing a belt?
I think I saw the last one in San Fransico in the gay pride parade... Mr. Happy Penis ( a anti STD mascot) in a Las Vegas show girl's feathers.
The poop and camouflage one looked like a slimy slug crawling through toxic ooze to me.
And, dang it, I've been avoiding that stupid song even since my dad, in a moment of sentimentality, gave me the CD when I was, like twelve.
*vomits* *looks at vomit*
Hmm... Looks kind of like a butterfly.
oh no! i feel so bad for them!
I'm thinkin' the camo one is a turtle with a lapband.
