Fairy Tale Endings
August 17, 2010 WARNING: Today's post is not family friendly, on account of it being a little TOO "family friendly." IF you knowwuddamean.
Ah, children. So innocent. So sweet.
So blissfully unaware of how much their castle cakes look like a gaggle of man cannons.
I believe this is from the Netherlands. (Eh? Eh?)Oh, oh! OR, if it were in Troy, then this would be a TROJAN castle.
(Get it? See what I did there? BOOYA.)
I'd say this customer got royally shafted:
[Zing!]I mean, just look at that top tower: totally cockeyed!
[Pow! Zam! Whap!]
Still, this next castle cake really can't be beat:
[Sha-ZAM!]Yep, that's some stiff competition, right there. Definitely has the upper hand.
[Rat-a-tat-tat! BzzzING! Ker-PLUEY! Eckie Eckie Eckie Eckie piTANG RoooBoing ezrowsurh]
Lauri, Lisa M., & Sarah H., they say "a man's home is his castle."
Frankly, I can't top that.
Also, 3 geek points if you correctly ID the Eckie Eckie line.

I can't help but think of the cookies in "Death to Smoochy"
Some of those must have been intentional, dontcha think?
Many of your readers are forgetting that they are "now no longer The Nights Who Say Ni!"
Now I'm gonna *have* to watch all the clips on YouTube. Thanks for wasting 2 hours of my morning...
Perhaps if we build a large wooden badger?
Monty Python and Holy Grail, the Knights Who say Ni!
I don't believe we have any thing like that here in Troy.
This post has clarified for me just how many bad cakes are out there in the world. I mean, if you have a whole category of "castle cakes that look like penises," that really says something.
seriously, can you make a shirt with a picture of that cake on it and under neat that "gaggle of man cannons?"
because i'll totally buy it.
It gives an all new meaning to "go eat a dick."
No thanks, we already got one.
the line is from the knights who say ni, except they don't say ni anymore
monty python and the holy grail
Perhaps these wreckorators need to spend some more time focusing on scientific deduction whereupon they will discover that the actual answer is 'duck' and not *ahem* well, you know.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
geesh...get your mind out of the gutter :-P
oh and thanks for all the comments, now I'm gonna have all the Holy Grail movie going through my head ALL.DAY.LONG.
i'm not dead yet....
i'm getting betta!!!!...
:banghead
Oh, dear. Just...*shakes head*
(ha, when I read 'eckie eckie' I thought, "hmmm, I've heard that before" but I couldn't place it!)
Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni! Now we need to find some shrubbery for those castles!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, girl! SHRUBBERY!!!
The thing about these cakes for blissfully unaware children is that someday they WILL be aware. For example, today little Madysyyn is being served a purple gaggle of man cannons for her princess-themed 4th birthday party. Fast forward twenty years... she's going through family photos. Perhaps she's helping her mom sort through some of the accumulated clutter in her house. Perhaps her serious boyfriend is interested in seeing some photos of her childhood. Suddenly she stumbles upon a picture of herself smiling behind a gaggle of purple man cannons.
Safe to say the therapy bills, already high from being named "Madysyyn" will only trend upward. And that all future bachelorette parties she attends only serve as painful, painful reminders of this... incident.
Poor Madysyyn.

Oh my gosh, it's like looking at the cover of Little Mermaid all over again!

I think most, if not all, of those cakes would benefit greatly from the application of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Hand_Grenade_of_Antioch" rel="nofollow">Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ... EACH.
I would think only the adults would see the "Men cannons" as children would have not seen anything like that yet. A lot of giggling going on by the growups at those parties. To-day a lot of the post made me laugh as will as your quips. Love this site.
Thank you so much for the great laugh this morning. I really needed this today! Your blog is the best!
Ack! Monty Python! I almost fell over from laughing when I read that!
Monty Python & the Holy Grail!
We are no longer the knights who say "Ni"!
I Love you for the Monty Python line - such a great line :D
Wow, from the thumbnail of the first one, I thought it had Diva Cups on the top!
Ah, penis puns. That's why we love you.
If you don't know that that quote is from Monty Python, you don't deserve the air you breathe!
Ah, the whimsy of childhood!
I still remember when I had a phallus, err...I mean, palace playset of my own.
Now, you get some serious props for also wedging in a "knowwhaddumean" comment in there as well. Wink, wink, nudge nudge.
I have to agree with the diva cup comment though... Icing can just be so hard to get the tip to come out right...

Monty Python and the Holy Grail (The knights who until recently said Ni!)
unfortunately, I can spot a Monty Python quote from a mile away... ah, my wasted youth! ("AAAHH! I said 'it' ")
Gaggle of Man Cannons. All I could think was "pity they fire their balls off early and leave a big mess."
And in a strange twist of irony, my word verification is "conic."
WE ARE NO LONGER THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY NII! You must cut down the tallest tree in the forest wiiiiiiith... a herring!!!
also, hehehe cockeyed hehehe
WV: unsmus. Unsmus always watch out for excessively "family friendly" wrecks.
*snort* I love the fact that the first...um..."castle" has obviously been to the local Planned Castlehood. There'll only be a 2% chance of the pitter-patter of little minarets coming from that kingdom, or at least that'll be the case if they roll them down the rest of the way...
I liked Kate's comment about "Madysyyn"!! Yeah, I can see children thinking the cake's a Disney-esque castle, while the grown-ups snicker away (enough to give a child a complex!). Then one day, the photos from the birthday will be a source of embarrassment. Perhaps part of the photo montage at her wedding? Life-long best friend tormenting her at her bridal shower?
But that first one... bad enough it looks like "man cannons". But purple, orange, blue, with silver sprinkles-- colour-blinded, clearly. (what, the cannons were soooo happy to be featured on Cake Wrecks they got excited and sprinkled themselves?!). (Note that you've got my mind now in the gutter!!).
Love the veins on the tilted pink-topped, round-tipped castle. Seriously, the wreckerator was so... innocent... they didn't realize what this looked like?
Monty Python and the sear for the Holy Grail!.......NI!
What about, "Biggus Dickus."
*collects her three geek points*
We are the knights who say.... NI!
So BAD!!!
Its from TEH KNIGHTS WHO SAY NI!
from Monty Python
Thank YOU so much. I laughed so hard at this post I had to stop reading and breathe. So rich with double meanings...I lost it on man cannons.
Had thought once about getting a castle cake kit...not now....

Oh, c'mon, make it tougher! We are The Knights Who No Longer Say "NI!"
phew! I had a hard time fitting this one in.
The knights who formally said "Ni"
Somebody take Jen's keyboard away from her....She's going to pun us all to death....
Those look an awful lot like VEINS on the "towers" of the white castle with the pink "roofs"...
My high school is the Wilson Trojans :( the jokes never end about it.
Seriously, I feel like some of those were done on purpose :P
