Easter Indiscretions
April 5, 2010 NOTE: Mildly suggestive material ahead. Parents, please pre-read.
Today's cakes were sent in by a mister Seymour B.
(Ok, no they weren't, but that joke makes me snort.)
If your first thought upon seeing this cake was, "Look! A hidden Mickey!" then I want - no, need - to be your friend.You know a Wreck is bad when calling it a "butt" is erring on the side of generosity:
Aaaagghh!! Where's the rest of him?
(Just look at that foot angle. C'mon.)
No butts here, (except this one ->) but I think someone took "Playboy Bunny" a little too literally:
And right out in public, too. Tsk, tsk.And finally, there's this thing:
Right now you're probably wondering if this is a bird or a bunny. In a few more seconds, though, you're going to notice how, er, ballsy the Wreckerator was with the design. Next you'll note the unfortunate placement of all that hair. Then the use of the color blue. And finally, you'll have an uncontrollable urge to e-mail this link to all of your friends and family - except Uncle Fred. (Fred's such a killjoy.)Then, when I snap my fingers, you'll want to go to the nearest tattoo parlor and get "Cake Wrecks Rocks!" inscribed somewhere really obvious on your body. Ready? Annnnd...[snapping fingers]
Hey Becca, Kelly F., Anna C., & Alison R., ever consider permanent body art? Yes? Excellent.

You said "public."
Hehehe.
my son's response to cake three is "gramma must have made that one".
now his written comment (he's four and wants to write it himself)
hi
Umm the last two are just Wow...wow wow wow??
I still can't figure out what's wrong with the first picture because I keep seeing the hidden mickey. Sick, isn't it?
Every time I look at the second cake, I can't help but see some sort of smiling, three eyed alien creature(s).
I don't see a "Hidden Mickey" so much as I see an Albino Mickey lost in the rainforest.
^..^
I TOTALLY thought "hidden Mickey!" before I thought of anything else. Let's be friends!
What's the pooh & blue colored 'rainbow' on the last wreck supposed to be - the condom???
Disturbing is the only word that comes to my mind.
Thank you, again, for making me snort my coffee first thing in the morning! I love laughing out loud each time I read your blog!! Keep up the good work!
By the way, my word verification word is 'bullical' Is that shorthand for I need to 'bully my calories' and eat more cake???? Sounds good to me!!
Lynn :)
I actually thought about Mickey for the first one!
I'm sad to say, I didn't see the Mickey.
Well, Hello Jen!
My name is Maria and I must be your friend! :)
Before REALLY looking at the first one, I thought "Why is there a Mickey cake on an Easter post?!"... See?!
LOVED today's post. Just... WOW!
Actually, I thought that last cake was Darth Bunny!
I didn't see Mickey. I saw a Sesame Street yup-yup monster.
In fact, I can't see anything else...
I don't understand, all I see for cake no.4 is a little dicky-bird...
Alright, I am the person going "What's wrong with the Mickey" looking at 2nd picture and going "OHHHH, I see what its suppose to be!"
cake:
1- "oh look, its Mickey."
2- looks at direction of feet relative to butt... "um, ok... ow."
3- "anyone else getting a hippie vibe off of this thing?"
4- "..." the fact that the cake is heart shaped is making me think 'valentines cake'... although that would mean it isn't a... non-specific easter related bird (yeah i'll go with that) and is, in reality, MEANT to be an anthropomorphic... you know what. Which is even funnier to me for some reason.
It's the Easter Turkey, Charlie Brown!
I definitely saw a hidden mickey in the first one :)
The last cake made me think of breasts rather than balls. Personally, I find the red-nipple bunny most disturbing, and the sloppy face doesn't help.
I must admit I don't get why anyone would want to represent just the hind end of a rabbit (or a baby, etc.) on a cake (or anything else), but if you're going to make one, why would you put the feet on backwards? This is the second or third one lately with backwards feet.
Is there some inside juoke here that I'm not getting?
My first thought was, "Why is Mickey an albino?" Let's be cyber-buddies.
Yes, before I even scrolled down to your commentary on #1, I said "Hey, it's a hidden Mickey!" My husband is a former Disney employee and we live in Orlando--our brains are wired this way now.
That last picture is a wonky creature on an upside-down HEART CAKE. They'll use that cake pan for everything won't they?
And I love the random Disney references. You're a girl after my own upside-down heart cake.
The fourth cake really has me considering age and freshness. I mean, if you take the timeline of holidays into account, it appears to be a Valentine's Day heart cake that may have had an "I [heart]U" inscription. Failing a V-Day sale, and found to still be in the cooler come November, it was flipped upside down and turned into a turkey for Thanksgiving. Failing yet another sale, and again found to still be in the cooler, they gave it one last go. Add a little blue and... ta-da! Spring Turducken!
Seriously, just how old IS that cake?
I've never been able to be hypnotized. So that won't work on me.
...Where IS the nearest Tattoo Parlor???...where's the phone book? hmmm, neck or forehead?
That last one is just freaky! Is it a bird? Is it a rabbit? Is it a big pair of chocolate balls with odd shape wangs drooping off the side of them?
....the horror.
1. It seems you need to be my friend.
2. I saw the feet as alien smiley faces first, then once I looked at the whole picture, I realized the poor thing's legs have been twisted a full 180°.
3. That one is just wrong. The spread legs make it even worse.
4. Oh I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts, deedly-dee-dee, there they are a-standing in the road...
wv: patedma - "I patedma self on the back after makin' all those purty cakes," said the wreckorator.
I still look at the last one and think, "It's a poocock!"
Doc
You mean that's NOT a Hidden Mickey on the first cake?
The first thing I thought of is why is Mickey on that cake?
Hidden Mickey? I can't see anything but Mickey! Even after looking at the second cake and seeing what the wreckerator was going for, I still just see Mickey. Albino Mickey, granted, with some sort of ear fungus, and something really wrong with his nose, but Mickey nonetheless.
Let's be friends.
Honestly, when I first glanced on the page, I thought the first one was made from jello. I was wondering what was up with that. All I could see was green.
Is it just me or does the "butt" cake look like to happy alien worms involved in something devious?
#4 - It's the Easter Ostrich, Charlie Brown!
verification word: yanast. Yanast-y ostrich cake ain't goin' to mah house fer Easter!
I thought that last one was a burlesque dancing turkey...
Wow. These are probably some of the wreckier wrecks I think you've posted. Just when think you've hit the pinnacle of wreckiness, things like these atrocities to baked goods show up.
Yeeeikes. 0_0
So is that bunny face up with its head in the dirt? I'm confused.
First cake is a hidden Mickey made of poo.
White poo. I'm scared.
the easter weasel ate the head & upper torso of the bunny from the second one....
I always knew I needed to be your friend. Makes me all warm and squish to know you feel the same. All hail the Mouse!
I actually thought hidden mickey lol
"Look! A hidden Mickey!" is *exactly* what sprang to mind. They indoctrinate employees really, really well. It's been fourteen years since my stint at Disney World and I still see Mickeys everywhere...
Looks like a Mickey to me, too!
DEFINITELY thought Hidden Mickey on that first one!
Yay! I finally got a wreck on Cake Wrecks! I submitted the second one.
I did see that the feet were facing the wrong way (and I also see the smiling aliens), but I didn't notice that the tail could look like, ahem, something else.
Maybe the bunny was hobbled, a la Misery, before being thrown face-down in the dirt?
I seriously thought the label under the second one said "Dingle Cake." Only after wondering what the heck a dingle cake is, how Jen could possibly let that pass without comment, and taking a closer look, did I realize my error. (Still...that does sound like a frightening fad-cake, along the lines of CCCs.)
Jen, what have you DONE to my mind?!?
Well since all I see is Mickey in cake #1 my name is Mickey and I have 5 Mickey Mouse tattoos, I think that makes us BFFs.
Strange thing is as soon as I read this post I ran out to my local tattooist 'cuz I just had to get a Cake Wrecks Rocks tattoo and there were 5 other people there getting the same thing so I came home 'cuz the line was too long. Oh well!!
*raises hand*
Hi, friend! I totally thought Hidden Micky!"
-Melissa
Completely thought it was Mickey. And I couldn't figure out why it was so terrible... Beyond a white-poo-Mickey head in a pile of grass...
One of those op-tee-kill illusions.
