Turkey Terror
November 17, 2010 GUYS! Do you know what time it is?
"Uh...lemme guess."Is it...
"National Imitation Crab Month?"No.
"Whirlpool Awareness Week?"
No.
"Oh! Is it football season?"
Close, but no. Here, I'll give you my "breast" hint:
Soon, you may be feeling a bit...STUFFED.
[gasp] "No...it isn't! It's..."
"Turkey Cake Time! AAAAAAAA...
AAAAAAAAA...
*gasp, gasp, gasp*
AAAAAAAAAAAA...
...AAAAAEEEIII!!Thanks to Barbra G., Tamara O., Kati K., Carol G., Anna S., Jen, Amanda S., Meghann P., & Kristine C., who think these fowl cakes are really for the birds.

that football one made me laugh! that's a brilliant concept, just needs better execution.
i'm not quite sure what's wrong with Alex's cake. (surely a sign that I've been reading cake wrecks too long!)
As for the stuffed turkey... what are the yellow things? bananas? labia??
And the flaming turkeys... well, we now know the wreckerators are no good at barbecuing or cooking, either.
@Knit wit... a very good point. Although, if it does happen, have a laptop on hand and use it as a good opportunity to introduce them to the wonderful world of CW :)
I kinda think the last one looks like scooby....on fire
D.
On the football turkey with flotsam - is anyone else even more confused by the random piece of chocolate? The little Hershey's Special Dark? No? Ok, then. Just me.
Poor Alex! I always feel bad for people with holiday birthdays, but the bacon leaf piping is awesome!
I'm glad the 3rd cake acknowledges a little-known fact about the Pilgrims: in addition to all the other trials they faced, they also had to deal with swirling white and orange vortexes swallowing their children whole!
I've never seen a football that just had a Caesarean section before. Cool!
#5 is staring at me.
As for # 2 I think decorating a cake with leftover turkey gizzards is very artistic.
#5 is still staring at me. Make it stop.
This is a full-out feast of chuckles at the Chuckleheads who dare to make turkey cakes! ... The cupcake turkey is the best. It looks like it's giving the finger four times over. The one after it looks like an "artistic" interpretation entitled: Turkey In Flames.
Ah the flaming poo naughty bit cakes... best time of the year!
What the heck is that last photo? It looks nothing like a turkey. It looks like a chocolate lab with a blazing backside (the whole back).
OMG these are so FUNNY. that turkey one ?? who would have thought to make that???
that last one looks like a kangaroo in a bush fire, with some pumpkins.
Why bananas and grapes I ask. Why? Just why?
Our local bakery had a "turkey" cake on the counter the other day. I wish I could have some how gotten the picture. It was sad sad sad.

Thank you for reminding me of that hilarious episode!!!
And IHeartBeer said "I think I'm required by Epcot law to say Hey, doesn't that last cake look like Scooby Do on Fire?"
PERFECT.
Good god, have these people even SEEN a turkey
The football cake...at least it's consistently seasonal?
The last one reminds me of a flaming pile of poo. (Flaming poo pile?)
Who in their right mind would actually PAY real money for one of these cakes ? Poor Scooby Doo as a flaming turkey...what a travesty !
I think I threw up in my mouth looking at some of those DX
Holy freaking crap! The last one looks like a dog who's ashamed of himself because he just lit the house behind him on fire and now it is engulfed in flames.
What is WRONG with wreckerators? Why don't they realize they can't decorate cakes and need to change their profession before someone gets physically ill?

Killing turkeys causes winter!!

Gosh, looks pretty awesome to me.
YES! Turkey Cake Wrecks are my absolute FAVORITES on here. Whenever I show people CW, I always tell them to search "turkey" as one of their first viewing experiences. I'm excited!
the last one looks like what you could find in an 18th month's old diaper..... good grief! Can't they get a grip on it?
#rd one is nice cake to eat yum yum
He he nice cake styles.. thanks for sharing
The last one looks awfully worried :D :D :D
Oh, man.... I have an order next week for a turkey cake. I hope it turns out much better than these poor creations!
EEK! Where's the humanity?!
Actually though, I'm glad for all the humor I can get now! Just got out of surgery and now I can catch up on all the Cake Wreck goodness while I lay in bed and make my poor man do all my bidding >:}
WV: "vilat"... the noise these pseudo-turkeys made instead of "gobble"?
OK, since no one else did, I'll say it....
The last one is Scooby Poo on fire.
OK, who set fire to my tortoise?
(Come in, Cake Number Six!)
I could be wrong, but I think that last one is actually a poo squirrel with a flaming tail.
Holy cats, people. First thing I thought when I saw #5 was "are you supposed to serve it with a SPECULUM?" Ewwwww.
And Kelly, your lyrics made me laugh so hard my basset hound rolled over and peed a little. Thanks.

Make that "Flaming Turdkey".
LOVE the Mr. Hankey in a turkey costume...that needs to be on my menu for Thanksgiving! LOL
That last one is definitely Mr. Hanky on fire!
"Happy Birthday Alex ... Let's Give Tharhs"
???
Well, at least there are those leaves of bacon to nibble on while you try to figure out what Tharhs are, and how to give them (or why).
"Imitation Crab" cake looked to me, at first glance, to be decorated in bacon, delicately folded into those leaf shapes. I wondered if it was a fake cake and actually meatloaf or something of the sort. Which would be awesome with raw bacon on top. (Proscuitto crudo would be safe to eat AND delicious, and looks identical, though.)
Looking at these with my DH, and laughing pretty hard. Then we got to the last cake - I looked at him and asked "What the hell is that?" He laughed and said "A squirrel on fire." ROFL Sure as heck isn't a turkey!
I was referred to your blog by a friend of mine this morning, and I've wasted the ENTIRE DAY here. I've been in tears with laughter more times than I can count, and I managed to wake both my children up with my giggles. You guys are hilarious, this blog is fantastic, and you've just gained one more reader! Thanks for what you do!!!

P.S. Loving the obscure geek references, keep them coming!
That last one quite clearly is a flaming poo. CLEARLY. Or, you know, that's what my husband says.
That last turkey-looking thing actually looks like a flaming turd...ouch.
Do chickens have lips? Because that last turkey does!
Cried the turkey cake to the guests, "Gobble, gobble me down if you dare."
oh man, that last one looks like a piece of poop with a fiery mane!
btw, my friend and i once planned to have a 'cake-wreck off' but, alas, it never came to be... someday. someday!!
I was looking at the cakes with my almost-3 year-old son, who with each new picture would go "Cake!" At least until we got to picture 6, where he went "AHH! Hippo!" And then back to Cake!
Personally, I think that the last one looks like Mr. Hankey trying to escape an explosion in the pumpkin patch.
That last one looks like Scooby-Doo trying to outrun a fireball.

I asked my six year old daughter if the last one looked like a turkey. She said "he he, no it looks like a poop on fire." Now I can't stop laughing! Thanks for that one
