oh lord, just looking at all that frosting makes my teeth hurt!
LOVE it!
Actually, the final product didn't look THAT bad... unless all of that stuff is icing. In which case-ew!
What a lovely cake... and hilarious post.
LOL! Y'all have WAY too much time on your hands!!!
LOVING the way you threw in the German! Hahahaha!
I'd eat it!
Then again, I'm Italian. Say, you know we don't really talk like that, right? :P
But we do like cake as much as anyone else does! Hmm, I feel munchy now.
VW: clueyin. Don't know what goes into that cake? Let me clueyin.
That's one freakin' abig cake.
Until I started reading CW, I would have pushed my way to the front of the line for a slice of that. But after months of reading CW, all I see is poo. May be the reason I'm losing weight. Thanks CW.
More audio segments, please!
I just spit my morning soda all over my screen because I was laughing so hard. What a wonderful way to start the day--even though, I have to clean off my desk now.
Thanks for the Cake Boss transcripts, I have missed the past few episodes!
I almost choked on my cereal when you got to "Mach schnell!"
Well done.
wv: ungsto - Ungsto hungry! Ungsto want eat!
when I got to the last picture, I tried to say to myself, "WHAT THE F* IS THAT?" ...but I think it was my outside voice.
This post gave me indigestion for the rest of the day! Great laughs though!
WV: elamel - Italian version of lame
In the spirit of random accents - I'll say, "That's a bloody brilliant post!"
Oh, look - WV is "Bless"
bless you for making me laugh.
Keep up the good work!!!
Best way to start the day.
And I agree with Tricia. More of these audio posts would be fantastic. Mach schnell, Yates.
LOL
This is even better than the song where Number One learned the dog died.
Thanks for starting the day off right.
Holy [insert favourite exclamation here]! That's a lot of icing!
Great job with the audio clip. I'll echo what others have said: more audio, please!
Hilarious--Love the audio!!!
The end result is actually pretty spectacular. That first picture, though? All I can see is hot dogs.
Great post John! Bueno!
WV: fantshea is that like Italian for fantistical?
Up until, oh, the third time I looked at the cake I really thought all of the brown icing was hot dogs. That is just not ok.
Uh, the children's eyes are blacked out? Are they criminals defendents, or on the run from the cops, or something?
OMG that is funny! Thata isa soma caka!!
KC
That was great! Just when you think CW can't get any better, it does!
You peeps is crazy.
I've just decided that women with morning sickness need to wait until later in the day to view CakeWrecks. That cake just turned my stomach.
Too funny. :D
The petite Fours and bon bons just gave it the perfect finishing touch.
Best. Post. EVA!
That - the 'finished' product - is the ugliest thing we have seen in a LONG time. And, we are turtles - we basically swim in our own poo.
wv - thyovenu... we got nothin'. Does sound vaguely Italian, though.
WOW for the end product, that was mouth dropping. Wondering how big a tip they had to use to write on it.
Like someone said, I can't see chocolate now without seeing poo!
Loved the audio!!!
Sheri
For those first three pictures, all I could think was, "why so many hotdogs?"
Well, that, and "the Yates only seem to get awesomer with time."
Love the voice over! Great addition to the post. (though, you know, it wasn't really necessary, as I hear those voices when I read your posts... )
Gotta say, you got me with the mach schnell. Shades of Dorapost.
Keep 'em rollin'.... with laughter.
~~Di
Is it just me, or did John sound like Rosanna Rosanna Danna?
Megan Self
Oh myy!
What on earth are the big piles of pink frosting at the ends? They're like clouds--I keep seeing different shapes in them ("Oh, look! It's an elephant! No, it's a pig. No, no, it's a baby seal! It's a dinosaur! A pink elephant dinosaur made out of frosting!")
Yikes seems insufficient.
There's CANTALOUPE stuck in that icing. WITH THE RIND ON. Doubleyou. Tee. Eff.
Does anyone else see where the puffy pink frosting at the bottom says "Happy" something..?
Is it my imagination or are those pink squiggles in the last one supposed to be the words "Happy Birthday"? Well, the first part looks kinda like "happy" maybe.
Dassa lotta cake.
Actually, for future reference, Bueno is Spanish. Buona is Italian.
Hey! John got CAPS!
Hotdogs? Intestines? Poo?
None of these things belong on cake.
wv: oravora. "That's the Oravora, Alice."
That made my day.
OMG! Freakin hilarious!
LOL! Love this! I think this kind of commentary would benefit many posts :)
Urgh. Just...urgh. At all stages of creation. =P
Your 'Italian' was much better than the cake itself! =D Reminds me of Brak and his "Learnin' to Talk Italian" lessons. "La porta facta la zuppa: The door is made of soup!"
Is that a dead pink bunny face-planted in the cake? Sadly, I couldn't get the sound to play.
Heh heh! You're spoiling us. First the musical, now the read along. Pretty soon you're going to have to add audio to everything.
I loved how there were random words used like lasagna and then the German came in.
Più appaganti!
I also saw hot dogs on the first picture. I love hot dogs as much as the next person, but NOT on my cake!
Anyway, this post was hilarious, as usual, and the audio made it that much funnier. Great job, John! :)
"It's-a me, Mario!" is all I could think of while reading that. As an Italian from NJ, I can tell you I've never seen a cake like that before, and also, ewwwww. Also, half my relatives do actually talk like that.
Oh c'mon - go for the less obvious Don Novello reference and write a http://www.sullivansfarms.net/s1dneycom/lazlo/" rel="nofollow">Lazlo Toth letter.
Because those pink squiggles in the last picture? The first five are "Happy" if you look closely. I don't think the rest are "Birthday" - I'm guessing by the little white dresses it's confirmation or something. This level of wreckiness screams for a Lazlo Toth letter.
