A Floridian's Fall Trip

Seriously! Fall! Already!
I think I just pooped a pumpkin!
So, now that I know it's officially "Fall," I think I'll kick off my flip-flops, crank the air down to 78 (which may take a while, since it's [checking temperature] ooh, down to 92!), and then find some great Fall cakes to get me in the spirit of the season.
Let's see...[rifling through e-mail]...aha! Here we go:

Well, thank goodness for big plastic leaves, at least:
I mean, just try to imagine this pair without them. [shudder]
And what says "Fall" better than a bunch of plastic leaves?

I like how the Wreckerator impaled all the leaves Ninja-style into the icing, too. It really says, "Psst. Hey. Are these leaves dead... or deadly?"
Well, one thing's for sure: when the Pod People come, this will make them think twice before going after the Wreckerators.
You know, an optimist would say these scarecrows are half icing, half plastic:
...a pessimist would say they're just half-a$$ed.
It's a swirl! It's a flame! It's...
Anony M., Michelle G., Peche, Claire, Steven W., Lora, Jen L., & Lindsey & Chris B., I love that cake. No Y?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA posts like this are the reason I shouldn't read this blog at work! The scarecrow started it!
Yes! Autumn is the season of ninjas! I knew it!!
Oh dear. After the pooped pumpkin, the rotisserie chicken, and the acorns, my mind just got into a groove. So when the squashed pumpkin cookie cake showed up, I spent 5 whole minutes wondering what you had to eat (and in what quantity) to produce orange and green poop. I may be skipping dessert for a while.

"Happy Fall Ya'll"...."LOL"!
Cher & Melissa beat me to my comment. I also noticed the second cake being labeled as rotisserie chicken. Is THAT what those things on the sticks are? ;)
Oo. It's election time, and already our straw man has dropped a pumpkin.
What really gets me is how expensive these cakes are compared to grabbing a box mix, throwing that together, and squirting icing haphazardly all over it.
I mean sure, I get paying thousands of dollars for a Mike McCarey cake (pardon me while I have a little fangirl squee over here for a second...*squeee*), because then you're paying for art, for an experience, for a status symbol, for so much more.
But seriously, wtf is wrong with people even willing to pay $14.99 for something that looks like an icing bag barfed on it? And the people who will pay for that are the very ones who complain about the high cost of a truly artistic cake!
The tag on cake #2 (Poop Reeds is what it looks like to me!) says "Why cook tonight, Rotisserie Chicken" I loooooove the rotisserie chicken cakes!
Mice! I skipped #6 -- guess I blocked it because I couldn't deal with the anatomical questions posed by the scarecrow on the right.
What are the tall yellow things supposed to be -- flames? No wonder scarecrow #2 went weak in the knees. Or the thighs, as the case may be. Maybe the flying monkeys got to him. Yeah, that's it.
wv: howwor. Oh, the howwor of it all!
I think the "fetus" cake is supposed to be tomatoes...?
As for Florida fall, the temps today dropped to the low 80's and it feels wonderful!
What the heck is that "rotisserie chicken" cake supposed to be? Cattails? Rather disembodied from the plant? Drumsticks hence the "chicken" label? I just don't get it!!!
it's sure fall here....quite chilly this morning, my heat is ON.
i cant believe these are considered professional cakes
The approval delay sure leads to a lot of repetition. But in a good way.
I agree that the "rotisserie chicken" on the cattail (SOS) cake is probably an ad. It's all from the deli section of the grocery store. Or maybe they just punched in the wrong code when they were printing it.
At first I thought the cattails were corn dogs. Poop on a stick didn't occur to me until I read the caption.
Pod People??? I thought they were kidneys. Why 5 kidneys? Is it time for kidney stew???
Doctor Tarr,
Actually, I have moderated comments all day today every 10 minutes or so. I think it's just that people don't read through before posting. Ah well. Fun times.

Loves that one cake advertises for a deli chicken on it lol. And why do those things on that cake look like poop popsicles?? Gross! Maybe they only wish it really was a rotisserie chicken. I know I would rather eat that than buy that cake.
very beautiful..
i like
actually, it's Spring here in Australia...
But sadly, no Spring CakeWrecks evident downunder so far
Until I came back and read the comments, I did not figure out that the third creation was acorns (that seems grammatically wrong).
Sometimes, I feel like I'm cheating and the comments is the equivalent of a game walk-through.
not sure if this has been said butt4 when you posted A bunch of plastic leaves with the WORD "Fall," that's what. (Word.) I heard Brick loudly whisper the (Word.) part. Brick who? some may ask. The youngest kid from 'The Middle' - it's high larry us and represents my life to a friggin T

cakes</a> are nice. good creativity.
That definitely read, "WHY COCK TONIGHT" to me.
It was nice of them to label that second one "rotisserie chicken" -- I'm guessing those must be the drumsticks then. And someone ate the rest? Odd, cause the drumsticks usually go first.
I'm a leaf on the wind. See how I soar.
Oh wait. You say I'm not on the wind, I'm on a cake? But there's clouds and stuff.
Oh, that's airbrushing. Right. Well then FML.
half icing, half plastic:
why did i think that someone had put baby sweetcorn on the cake till i realized it was icing
New Word Needed!!
Poo-pitties? Poopitties?
Poobs?
Boops?
rack-a-poos?
Swirly nipps?

Ninja, Vanish! (poof of powdered sugar)
Doctor Tarr, you're the only other one who saw what cake #2 really was...it's a corn dog cake, "ya'll"!
@Alisha Rene'
I could totally hear Brick saying that. "The Middle" is all kinds of funny.
I'm going to use "Happ Fall Ya'll" as my greeting through December.
BTW, ever looked at the website "regretsy"? It's etsy wrecks.
