Patty Cakes
March 16, 2010 Ah, the many faces of St. Patrick's Day...
Seamus' shame:
You know, bakers, if we don't stop glorifying smoking with all these sexy baked goods, the kids will never stop sneaking their pipe tobacco into school.
Wee Willy of the Explosive Facial Hair wishes you a St. Patty's Day:
Not a happy one, though. Wee Willy is too small-minded for that.Next we have our regular guest star:
Well, howdy, Doody.And finally, there's...uh...this guy:
My gosh, it's full of clovers!Jen: Actually, those are shamrocks, not clovers. Didn't you read yesterday's post?
Oh, sorry, my bad.
Careful now, Jesse, Jennifer R., Shinpai, Caroline S., & Chris; I hear watching a Cloverfield can make you sick. Shamrock fields are fine, though.

Ok, I actually like the "Wee Willy" guy. I have no idea what he's supposed to be - although I could do without the "wee appendage" - but he's kinda cute.
WV: "vometis". Many of these wrecks are "vometis"
LOL on the 4th one. what is it with le-poo-chauns these days?? a little slip in icing or what?
What the HAYELL is that third cake supposed to be?! It looks like an electrocuted POM-POM.
There's nothing like a good cookie cake to celebrate the Irish potato famine!

Correct me if I am wrong but is it not supposed to be Paddy's day?! Or does that make it a double wreck?!? lol
Those cakes are pretty hairy...but I'd still hit it!
Ah & begorrah! The third cake is actually to celebrate the little known St Cowpatty's day.
Yah - Willy is oddly cute, but could do without the unfortunate wee body line extension.
Not digging the lepre-pig though. Not at all - too creepy.
That first one isn't too bad, for a Cupcake Cake. All right, "better than most CCCs" isn't a very high hurdle, but at least this one isn't committing indecent exposure the way those shamrocks yesterday did.
I actually like the Irish Rapper. Not all that skillful, but it's upbeat and jaunty.
That last one, on the other hand, is going to give me nightmares for years.
LOL!! Can't wait to see how many experts show up today to comment on this one.

WV: "unmuhnervs"- all them stinkin' shamrock/clover comments yesterday was gettin' unmuhnervs!!
Rappin' Irishman. Hahahahahaha! And I see our South Park friend is back. How on Earth did anyone ever think he would be appropriate for St. Patrick's Day? >sigh<
Surely no one buys these things? What are stores thinking? You get what you pay for with minimum wage cake decorators (oh, wait - they're "cake wreckerators" - I forgot for just a minute). Aye carumba and YUCK!!!
Awwwww . . . Wee Willy is cute! I'm not so keen on his wee willy, though!
Lovin' the time change . . . means Cake Wrecks for the day goes up at 9:30 p.m. my time instead of 10:30 p.m. when I should be in bed!
Aye, the first one's not too bad for a CCC (ptooie!!) and the last one's fairly cute and adorable (though I'll admit, Lass, he does look like a pig wearing a leprechaun mask).
But the "Wee Willy" one.....what the blast is all that blarney about????? Shaggy hair does not honor me sainted Patrick, I don't care if it IS green!!
Given its, er, expression, I'm not entirely certain #1 is smoking pipe tobacco.
Look it's Mr. Hankey the Christmas-Poo in his St. Patty's day outfit.

I love your Samuel O'Jackson rap! "Monkey fightin" is the best cleaned up phrase ever!
Actually, I like the last one with the shamrocks in his eyes. It's silly but well done. If I wanted a St. Patrick's day themed cake (because, well, don't we all) that wouldn't be off the list.
Wee Willy appears to have a very very wee willy indeed. Poor guy.
Aye--they're magically delicious!
Re: “Howdy, Doody!” Wreck.
*Ahem-ahem-ahem.*
“I’m sure glad someone rescued Mr. Peanut out of that septic tank in time for the St. Paddy’s Day parade!”
^..^

WV: brouto. "I'm brouto become sick from looking at poo Leprechauns!"
When am I going to learn not to drink tea when I visit cakewrecks?
Between our 'regular' guest star, and Tamara Mitchell's "electrocuted pom-pom" comment, it's a miracle that there's anything left of my keyboard!
Tigerwolf, shouldn't that be "pooperchauns"?
"Wee Willy" has to be the most kid friendly penis joke I've seen in a long time and it just made me lol. LOVE IT. But I'm dirty like that. ;)
Bwahahaha!!! I totally laughed at loud at Samuel O'Jackson and Howdy Doody!
I love how you manage to sneak Sci-Fi quotes into places they just don't quite belong! "My Gosh, it's full of clovers!" I was just waiting for the 2001 sound track to kick in. :-)
Actually the Irish are quite good rappers, although its in more of jig without the bass.
To the poo cake I think his greeting would be more Hiddddyyyyy Ho!
Great post today with cakes that each have a peculiar charm and good cheer. I'd eat any of them with a little Guinness on the side.
From the shamrock eyeballs, I'm kinda wondering what they're packing in the pipe...!
Samuel O'Jackson - LOL!
That last one is just horrifying.
SCREAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!
Oh, thank God I'm Sicilian! I'm just ignoring the whole thing!
Actually, #4 looks to me like a big russet potato wearing a hat. O.o Baked potato, anyone?
I want the Wee Willy cake! He's hysterical!
Did anyone else notice that last one is a pig cake? LOL!!!
the last wreck gives me the willies. something about that large head of his. nevermind the shamrocks in his eyes. creepy.
now, wee willy does not give me the willies. perhaps because he has none to offer. poor lil guy.
Wee Willy's facial hair would actually make a good tree on a Dr. Seuss cake. (without the willy, of course . . .) The rest are just scary. Good thing I wasn't already afraid of leprechauns, because that last one is nightmare-inducing.
It's Mr Hankey!!! Hahahahaha!!! And the monkey-fighting snakes is THE BEST line from that movie, LOL.
wee willy *snort*
Cake Wrecks has proven, yet again, to be fun AND edumacational! I hadn't heard about the monkeyfightin' snakes on the Monday to Friday plane. Thanks, Cake Wrecks!
Number 4: To quote an episode of Father Ted where Mrs.Doyle combines gifts by baking a jumper into a cake..
'What's that? Oi'm froightened!'
Very glad we don't have Botany class today.....
JessiB stole my clever comment about Mr. Hankey, the St Patrick's Day Poo, so I will have to move on. The resemblance is uncanny, though.
Don't you just bet the wreckerator behind the first CCC was really proud of him/herself?
Poor Willy.
wv: hedis. My hedis achin' after all that Guinness.
McElroy (S.Jackson) says: Formula 51 -- Are you ready to take the 'effin' rainbow?
Just lovin' these samples of the blarney rock.
Glad to see that Mr. Hanky is stepping out as a representative of all holidays.
Is it just me or does the Rapper Leprechaun look a little too much like the Peanut Butter Jelly Time Banana? Maybe its just me...
Samuel O'Jackson almost resulted in my monitor getting a bath. I guess for a more patriotic bent he could also do "Jump Around" by House of Pain...
Wee Willy reminds me of one of those pencil toppers I had as a kid--you know, where you twirl the pencil between your fingers and give the little fuzzy thing with googly eyes a wild hairdo. Cute, but not what I'd get on a cake...and certainly not very Irish! XD
Poolechaun...makes me think of the South Park character...only with a stereotypical Irish accent. *shudder*
But the last one. Oh, the last one. Nightmare fuel if I ever saw it. A frightening cross between Chucky and Lucky. D=
Where do you FIND these??
That "Cheers" cake is taken from what I like to call at the grocery store I work for a "Balloon Wreck":

-Why didn't Anagram send us clover balloons again?
The first one looks like a uterus. A smoking leprechaun uterus.*shudders*
Laughing...so hard...can't catch my breath... so funny...still laughing...
Love that Wee WIlly has a wee willy.
