"Special" Deliveries
January 6, 2010 
I will love him/her and squeeze him/her and call him/her "Babs."
Good friends, the Hooks and Slices always hoped their little ones might one day grow up and fall in love. However, little James' love of the open sea and life-long distaste of children would eventually drive Sally to drinking and raising teacup poodles. (Although after the ASPCA stepped in, she was forced to stick to just raising them.)Here's a tip: if your last name is Bignar, and you want your shower cake to read "Welcome Baby," proceed with caution.
Wow. It's not often one gets to witness the birth of an embarrassing nickname!Do you suppose a kid named "Finally" could ever get addressed in a non-sarcastic manner?
I mean, think about it: "Finally! You're here!"
Ah yes, Luca Joeseph Kiwi Mango - that's the name of kings, right there.Tasty, fruity kings.
Anony M., Alisa K., Carrie B., Shane M., & Amy C., how many people do you suppose asked what flavor the cake was?

Tirya, why did your parents name you ugly birds in utero?
my twins were "lumpy" and "hiccup" in utero, but that was because one hiccupped every day and lump moved around all the time, creating lumps on my belly.
I am so disappointed that the name on the 4th cake is Mango. I wanted it to be Mongo. That little one could grow up to be strong enough to sock a horse in the jaw but Mango?
This is what they can expect, impressive but not the same.

Hilarious, as usual.
I can tell the "babbies" cakes was, almost for sure, decorated by someone whose first language used the cyrilic alphabet. So well, just a forgiving smile to that one :0)I
"War Cake," as in "It's chocolate covered shrapnel, thus the awkward shape?" Or because they shot the strawberries right into the side, which would explain their odd placement? Was a derator used to make this? Without a doubt!
Maybe "Derator" is actually a misspelling of "Detonator?"
The Babbies Cake - Babbies are what we call young babies in the black country area of the UK so this may not be a mistake...

LOL! When I read this, I laughed so hard, I shot my teacup poodle out my nose. Excuse me while I wipe off my computer screen.

How about "Finally! The pain is over!"
That sounds like an event to celebrate with a cake to me.
Anon - Why ugly birds? Our last name is "Tweet" so the bird theme was sort of a gimme. =)
I guess they finally figured out how a babby should be formed?
I laughed so hard I snorted. By myself in the office. Know what? It was still embarrassing. I love Fruity Kings.
My friend actually named her daughter Kiwi. At first I just thought it was a nickname.
The last cake is a new top favorite for me. Right up there with "Your Day Has Come" with the chopped off hand. :)
maybe the parents on the first cake are Dark Tower fans? Wolves of the Calla come ta take your babbies!
ahhahaha "kiwi mango". omg! i love these. they are some of the best. and thanks, i needed the laugh tonight.
My parents were married for about 14 years before I was conceived. My baby shower cake appropriately said, "Welcome. What took you so long?"
Sorry, but I'm with everyone else who said 'babbies' might not be a mistake. It's a perfectly reasonable word in many parts of the British Isles, so really it just depends who the cake was for and what they intended to have on it.
I'm thinking Kiwi and Mango are the colors to used.... hence the orange and green... under neat that.
@culinarychiq lol i get it...but isn't it juliet? not julie?
Maybe twins, Luca Kiwi & Joseph Mango? Actually that sounds like a pair of sub-Saharan African rebels...
it really masterpieces'd never seen
