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 loved the gaggle of man cannons from the Netherlands. Oh and you said 'it' in the post - twice. I counted. I think somewhere the Knights who no longer say "Ni" are cringing in horror.
Eeeeeeeeewww! The vines in the 2nd one look like veins!
OMG!! These are too funny! I wonder if there was a point where the bakers could see what was happening but it was too late to turn back. Now I need to go look at the pictures of my gingerbread castle and see if I accidently made some..you know...parts... Hahaha!! :)
Nice! Actually laughed out loud at this one:)
Hhaha doubled over laughing at the eckie eckie referance. LOVE IT XD
Also, that second castle is...uh...is...uh. Yeah, I'll just leave it that that.
This is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail right after King Arthur and Sir Didimore (did I spell his name right?) bring a shrubbery to the Knights who say Ni. The knights then announce that they no longer say ni but rather a new phrase, "Rat-a-tat-tat! BzzzING! Ker-PLUEY! Eckie Eckie Eckie Eckie piTANG RoooBoing ezrowsurh"
Like some others here, I was also hoping to keep thinking about mushrooms. Really, uh, wrong mushrooms.
Ni!
Does the answer of "my husband's text message ring tone" count? (aka, that one sound from Monty Python). Gonna have to send this one on to him to read!
This is why you use ice cream cones for tower toppers.
"We want....a SHRUBBERY!" LOVE that movie. Monty Python cracks me up!
the second one is anything but unintentional :-S
I think I need to go watch Monty Python. LIKE RIGHT NOW. XD
Those are pretty hardcore wrecks ;)
I request a recording of you doing the sound effects :)
I love you. But sometimes you just scare the crap out of me.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail! BAM!
Monty Python and the Holy Grail! Specifically, the Knights who formally said Ni!
C'mon Jenn... at least make it a *little* challenging!! ;)
MONTY PYTHON!
Oh GOSH! I sat here LOL'ing even louder with each comment I read! This was hilarious!

Twas the knights who say ni!
neeeeeeeeee--wom
*winces* I think people should only ask experienced cake makers to make turrets. I couldn't do much better than these!
WOW.
Oh dear lord, sometimes it pays to be oblivious ;)
Does this change the pronunciation of the "a" in cake to sound like "ah"?
/Cream filled?
I lvoe fairytales, despite their continuous repedativeness. Anyway, If I got handed a phalic castle like that, I'd wonder what else I was getting for my birthday. As a gay man, I might enjoy it.
Moreover, I'd prefer that if you are going to make a castle cake, I'd like my wreckorater to remember that bricks aren't rount, they're square. DUH!
Cake #3.. It's a... it's a ... a.... ROCKET SHIP! It's a rocket ship!
No comment, just WV:
shallyp
"Shallyp?"
"P'raps later."
They all seem to be circumcised also.
Wow...it's been a while since I stopped by. I sure did choose a terrific day to come back eh?
Yuck...
Oh where do I even begin.. dare I even comment on the one that leans? Or should I just leave my mind in the gutter lol. Some wreckerators just have to have dirty minds to put these on peoples cakes. I just wonder sometimes if they take evil pleasure in knowing someone will comment that they look like genitalia and are probably in back of the bakery laughing like hyenas.. I know I would be lol.
eckie eckie! knights who formerly said ni!
.... yes, i know it's already answered. but i DID pick it up immediately.
the phallic posts always make me laugh hard enough to spew liquids out my nose.
The Netherlands line had me cracking up all evening! Thank you!
I think the first two are possibly mushrooms. Definitely the second. Horribly wrong mushrooms. Oh my.
Oh no! Glitter! The herpes of the craft world! On edible phallic symbols! NOOOOOO!!!!!
[blink]
Suddenly, the Fireman Cake seems a pinnacle of propriety...
I wonder what the music at poor Madysyyn's party sounded like. The 1812 Overture, perhaps? Never mind. (I predict that by her 5th birthday, she will be beyond tired of hearing "Can I buy a vowel?")
If I'm ever forced to order a child's birthday cake (as opposed to having it made by someone I trust), I think I'll casually drop the letter sequence 'CPS' into the conversation, just to gauge the reaction.
Meanwhile, I wonder if the Lysol family of products includes eye drops. If not, I'll just have my retinas professionally cleaned.
"On second thought, let's NOT go to Camelot! It is a silly place."
Hilarious post!
WV... CANON.
I ain't kidding...
Yuck.....
I showed a coworker the pic of the second castle (the veiny one) and he just about passed out from lack of oxygen from laughing so hard...
That cockeyed one even has VEINS! Yoiks!
All I have to say to you, madam, is "IT!"
monty python and quest for the holy grail! NI!!!
"make it a nice shrubbery - not too expensive"
As Peggy Hill would say . . . "Hap - piness"
While these are funny, they don't top the nasa shuttle cake in my mind. Heck they don't even have a blatantly innuendo laced inscription to go along with them.
... and bring me a SHRUBBERY.
I think this is the first time I have read the phrase, “a gaggle of man cannons.”
Hahaha, absolutly reminds me of Death to Smoochie. At least one other person thought of that too. Well here it is if you want to watch it

The first cake is OK, if you have innocent eyes only looking at it but the second cake looks like it should have been for a bachelorette party especially with the little pink tops.
You win a bajilluion internets for the Monty Python reference.
I love the phrase "gaggle of man cannons"! Laughed for a good 15 minutes about that one!
monty python and the holy grail!! only my favorite movie ever!
