Hungry Like a Wolf
May 18, 2010 I don't take many requests here on CW, but when Katie P. asked for werewolf Wrecks in honor of her friend's new all-girl werewolf book
SO. Werewolf cakes. Right. This should be interesting.
Here we have the elusive half wolf, half cake breed:
Now, you might think that a cake sprouting a wolf head would look odd. That's where the pine sprigs come in.
Ever heard of Hover Cat? Well, here's hover wolf:
Or possibly centipede wolf. I'm not sure.Whichever it is, here he is mid-transformation:
[maintaining a straight face (which is more than I can say for Mr. Weepy Pee here)]Um, I get the feeling you're not buying this. That perhaps your confidence in my werewolf wreck-spotting ability is slipping.
Well, look, you can tell this next one's a wolf by the teeny little bone in front of him:
That's clearly the femur from some poor soul torn asunder by this hell hound human hybrid!
Ignore the weird ripply ear-or-possibly-wing-like things. It's a hell hound. Trust me.
You know you can trust Canadians, right? And they claim this is a werewolf. I like his little 80's exercise headband and how his ears sprout from the side of his jaw.
Hey, Katie P., Sarah F., Alexander B., & Renee T., do your ears hang low?
Katie, I hope I've done your friend and her book proud. And for the rest of you, if you're tired of hunky guy werewolf books, give Claire de Lune a try.

I'm scared... very scared :\ Especially at the first one.
I really like the progression from bad to worse, Bravo!
The first one is admirably done, but not very appetizing. The second is bizarre, the third a shameful mess. The fourth is what happens when the baker loves a certain tool too much. The fifth isn't so bad when you compare Lon Chaney, Jr.
I would bet the last one is Teen Wolf from the great 80s movie featuring Michael J. Fox.
Actually, the pine sprigs on the first wreck look like asparagus fern. Which is, um, toxic. So you can have your wolf and poison people too!
If you took the blue M&M eyes off the last one, it would look a lot better.

LOVE the cakes! LOVE THEM. Makes me want to go out and, uh, well, not eat them exactly, but find a wrecky werewolf of my own.
Thank you for playing! It should be a fun day!
Can you do a thing for penguins pretty pretty please!!!!!!????!!!!!
I think that last one may be Chewbacca
Kitty Norville is also a great female werewolf-- the series keeps improving as it goes on.
The first one needs teeth. The last one reminds of Lon Chaney.
The ones in the middle? um....
ARe you sure the last one isn't Chewbacca?
Thank you SO MUCH! The werewolves had me in stitches. Love and appreciate the post!!!
Now I've got that song stuck in my head! Sounds like an interesting book, may have to give it a try!

Why am I reminded of that horrific moment in The Fly II (yeah, they made a sequel, boo) - the only thing I remember in that movie is the military testing the transporter thingee on a dog, and it arrived ... inside out.
The last one is a wolf? It looks more like a tanned Chewbacca.
That last was more ape than werewolf.
Oh c'mon... that last one has to be a sasquatch doesnt it!!!!
I'm with Fran- last cake is a Wookiee.
And why would you put pine needles on a cake? For reals? Don't they know that some people get serious hives from that stuff? There's a reason they make fake Christmas trees, people.
I think it's weird how the Canadian werewolf's eyes aren't actually in their sockets! creepy!
I'm stunned!
I was going to second the comment that the last one looks like Sasquatch, but the Teen Wolf idea makes sense too. After all, Michael J. Fox is Canadian right?
I am a Canadian. Today, I am an embarrassed Canadian. For the record, none of their eyes are in the sockets ... well, aside from that first beheaded wolf.
Speaking of ears sprouting out from the sides of one's jaw--has anyone else noticed Ralphie's ears (from A Christmas Story)? They basically look like this werewolf's ears--go watch that movie and you'll see for yourself!
the last cake is clearly a representation of the dad from Teen Wolf. That's the only cute werewolf I know of. (I tried to embed a picture here, but it didn't work and I'm too lazy to keep trying).
I'm not sure there is even cake under some of those messes. The thought of all that icing makes my teeth hurt.
Any self-respecting Canadian will tell you that is Sasquatch.
The pink one might be Mrs. Howell's dog.
The first wolf looks kinda sad, maybe even a little forlorn. Poor wolf.
Have to say, that as a Canadian, I think the last one looks more like Chewbacca than a wolf. Maybe it's just me? :)

What WAS that pink centi-wolf thing? I don't care who ya are, I wouldn't eat that. Ewwwwww.
The Canadian werewolf looks more like Chewbacca.
NO I think that last one was a Sasquatch
The first one (the wolf or fox head) is actually quite good. The second one is cute. Also, it would make interesting neon colors inside you if you ate it.
But the rest of them, yeah, they're wrecks.

Anteaters. Please do one on anteaters! I love anteaters. If you can't find enough anteater cakes, it's OK to include aardvarks, pangolins, and echidnas. Thank you.
As a Canadian I can say the last cake is not a werewolf, but sasquatch! LOL!
Bravo Jen,
Your post and the wrecks are soo funny.
I thought #1 was a "bring me the head of Smokey the Bear" celebration.
mocking
I coughed up a hairball on that first one! yaaaouzzzzerr!
The last cake is endearing. He makes me smile.
Shouldn't there be some music by Warren Zevon playing along with this posting? @Chera: Michael LAndon stared in "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" in 1957, two years before Bonanza.
I am embarrassed for all Canadians. (And can I send out a collective "we're sorry!")

"... I saw a werewolf reading a Chinese menu in Soho in the rain, and his hair was perfect. ..."
First I was scared of the last cake, because his teeth are so long and sharp and gnash-worthy. But then I noticed his pretty bright blue eyes and I just wanted to pinch his little icing-covered cheeks. Awww.
Liz in Seattle
Werewolf!
Werewolf?
There.
What?
There, wolf. There, castle.
Why are you talking that way?
I thought you wanted to.
No, I don't want to.
Suit yourself. I'm easy.
WV: detor... Talk of werewolves always sends my mind on a detor to Young Frankenstein.
I think the Canadian one might be a sasquach.
that last one could also pass for a monkey. that bites.
the eyes on all of them make me shudder...bright blue, weeping pee, etc....
a decapitated head on a bed of greenery. on a cake. ick.
that third one looks like a skein of yarn with bleeding eyes.
Oh, that first pic reminds me of Piggie Pie, a *hilarious* kids book about a witch matching wits with a wolf, both trying to get some piggies to eat. One of the pictures in the book is of the witch dreaming about a wolf-burger - his whole head in a burger bun, with his snout & fuzzy ears sticking out! Such a good, funny book, flip through it at the library or buy it for your nieces or nephews if you don't have kids.
You know the sad thing is I have seen children's book illustrations that looked like the first cake.
@Junkfood:
You're right! He DID stare!
(He also starred.)
=^~.-^=
Why is everyone saying the first one "looks sad"? Wouldn't YOU be if it were YOUR head on a cake?
What's he supposed to do, whistle "Dixie"?
Wink and make wisecracks? Tell fortunes?
Say that he'd lend you money but he's a little short?
Sheeeeesh.
