Curbing Their Enthusiasm

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about these cakes seems to be a little, uh...

anticlimactic? [smirk]

Well, less than enthusiastic, anyway.

Then there are the smart alecs:

Oops!

At least you can always count on your co-workers to wish you well:

From what I hear, unless Jenn detonates Tabasco-soaked barbed explosives in her hoo-haw for a living, then odds are the delivery is gonna be a BIT more "pain full then" her job. But that's just what I hear. ;)

And we all have those friends who are especially supportive:

All things considered, though, this last cake is definitely the most inconceivable:

Yep, nothing says "Yours is a tragedy that might have been avoided" quite like a cake decorated with real birth control pills. For the women of Oregon! Onward!

Becca S., Lisa S., Ying K., Brittany C., Jenn M., Erin K., & Emily S., this thread on what childbirth feels like is probably the most effective (not to mention hilarious) contraception I've seen.

NOTE: No, that last one wasn't really a baby shower cake - but wouldn't it've been funny if it was?

After reading that linked thread all I can do is hide under my desk, roll up in a ball and rock chanting "thank goodness I had my tubes tied" over and over and over.

O.o

Also, the Marge cake cracks me up! Nice semi-obscure Simpson's reference.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw bacon on the birth control cake.

Note to self, do not read cake wrecks while in class.

You know, if I ever needed something to remind me that not having kids is always an excellent option, that thread you linked to would certainly come in handy.

My wife and I laughed till we cried for several minutes over your Tabasco...etc. comment. Thanks!

I love the Marge Simpson one! And I'm baffled by the Oregon one.

Sure hope those real birth control pills didn't leak onto the cake....

As a current resident of rural Oregon which has a tendency to be rather redneck-like (but let it be known I am not from here!), I sure wish there were more of those contraceptive cakes around!
