Just Beachy
June 14, 2010 Summer's here!
Time to celebrate the sandy beaches, pink and orange sunsets, and crystal blue waters of the...uh...
...apocalypse?"And the sky didst turn black, and the sea to ash, and lo, the Wreckerator did thusly expendeth her wrath upon the pink paper umbrella. Eth."
Gee, bakers, all you need for a decent beach cake is some water and a palm tree. How hard is that?
Ok, let me rephrase that.How about just a palm tree? A nice, simple, cheery...
Great gobs of corpulent crappy coconuts, what is THAT?!?
Right. Um, let's get back to the beach scenes, shall we?
Looks like someone's beach birthday has a heavy chance of sprinkles:
Yeesh. Now that is a crumby way to color a cake.Still, I guess it's better than this "beach umbrella" here:
Or as I like to call it: "Sprinkled poo dreams, in four movements"
Ally F., Alyska B., Jodee R., Shae, & Colleen M., this is one time when I can honestly say I don't want sprinkles.

The first cake looks like a chicken cutlet tucked under a crocheted blanket.

I feel sorry for whoever gets a frosting free piece of the tsunami cake... how sad!!
That second one made me laugh so hard. It's just so RIDICULOUS! haha!
That last one looks like a poo tornado in technicolor.
Sprinkled poo dreams...in four movements. ROFL!
Three of these are not planet earth.
The doggy doo doo & coconut cake surely has a very limited market? (OK, own up the person who ordered it!)
Reminds me of the unfortunate cake that was served at a posh dinner party on 'Beverly Hills Chef' (or something like that)...one of the young chefs took it upon herself to add beach umbrellas to an (otherwise lovely) tiered vanilla bean cake. The hostess saw it and went ballistic and the chef got her feelings hurt ("It's whimsical," she pouted) but in the end they served the cake sliced with edible gold foil and raspberry sauce and no one knew about the wreck.
Beach umbrellas = instant wreck? Looks like.
The first one isn't really a wreck, it's just at night.
It's also notable for being very light on icing, which is pretty rare for cakes made by the incompetent. Normally they'd just slather it on there.
Oh Man! Are all those Jersey Shores? Or I guess in light of recent history, Louisiana Shores? Still, deep belly laughs are what they give me, so it's all worth it! Keep up the good work!
Hey, with the onset of this spill, please remember those beaches that we can't visit and enjoy :(
LMAO.... these are sooo bad, but good for a laugh... and that "umbrella" one... it looks like poop with sprinkles!

Is it just me, or do the "waves" in the fourth cake look like, um... sperm? Maybe I've just seen too many bad cakes, because that's the first thing that leaps to mind.
A tree-sized umbrella could shade at least 50 people. I guess the Scale Police couldn't respond in time to put a stop to that wreck because they were busy scarfing down doughnuts the size of truck tires.
The last one is a dreaded Poo Python (note the characteristic 'sprinkles' marking) lying in wait under a clothesline. Caution: Always wear Really Big Boots (from the maker of the Tree-Sized Umbrella) when Poo Pythons are about -- you do NOT want to be bitten by one of those.

Strangely made my day...
But bakers STILL need art class.
