Cake Secrets
September 30, 2010 "My boss made me sweep the floor, even though I didn't make the mess. So I swept up, and then made her a special cake...
"...which somehow got set out for sale.""You know that third time I asked you to spell 'congratulation' for me?
"I was totally messing with you."
"My watch is in there.""Sometimes I like to draw vaguely obscene things on cakes...
"...and then tell your kids they're Oompa Loompas."
"I've never seen Star Wars.""I told you it was a grill, but to be honest...
"I don't know what this is, either."Oh, and I licked the spoon."
"I really, really, REALLY....
"...don't like kids.""I told my managers it'll never happen again, but...
"...wait'll they see where I put Snow White!"Oh, and if you guys like Post Secret, check out Frank's tour schedule; he may be coming to a city near you!

Somehow I feel like more people will be asking for their favourite Disney Princess riding a dinosaur this ... cake season?
I'd love to see Snow White and her dwarves riding a bronto... brachhio... whatever that dinosaur with the really long neck is called.
Oh dear god, who is hiring these bakers
I actually like the Cinderella/T-Rex cake. That would make a great combo cake when I have a combo birthday for my son and daughter!
Cinderella riding a T-Rex?! Are you kidding me?!?! Most awesome cake ever!
love the heads with eyes
I think the second cake might actually have been semi-intentional. "it's a boy" suggests a baby, so con-crall-ations might have been intended as con-crawl-ations. Either way misspelled, but possibly in a completely different way!
On the first cake, the sticker on the side of the container looks like it says "Village Bakery Corp" and "Vanilla Ice Cream". Price is either $21.99 or $51.99.
wv: sionse -- Wanted: cake decorator. Must have Bachelor of Sionse degree, with a major in cake decorating and a minor in creative writing.
Anon @ 4:42 is so right! "Cinderella riding T-Rex with her naked mohawk-baby carrot jockey army - she is the supreme bettercreme ruler of all cakedom! That's a cake I want! Bippity-boppity-boo!"
I couldn't have said it better myself. My birthday's coming up next month-- I've got some cake-ordering to do.
of course the "vaguely obscene" one is from kroger....... ptooey!
Is it wrong that I'm absolutely loving the last cake?
I think the "obscene cake" may have been an attempt at the wooly mammoth from Ice Age, and those two white arches are his tusks. It's snowing, and he caught two snowflakes.
I love how the cupcakes manage to glare at you, even through the non-glare glass.
If I don't get a t-rex + princess cake for my birthday this year, I may cry.
Was that obscene cake done by Jack the Ripper?
Lol at that last cake.. I really don't want to even try and find out where they put Snow White.. though I suspect she drowned in dino poo. Poor thing such a tragic ending.
Can I please ask what in the hell is on top of the first one?!? I can't figure it out :-/
That last one is NOT a Cake Wreck. There is nothing wrecky about anyone riding a T-Rex. Not even a Disney Princess.
{Also, my captcha for this post has a real word: "tries!")
I put the image on #4 into PSP turned it upside down. For a moment the white things looked like Mickey Mouse heads on top of a large pair of calipers and there appears to be writing in the brown yoni shape.
Finally I realized the truth.
The decorator was on serious drugs.
#1 My stomach is totally offended by this one. It's asking me not to read this blog again. Too bad I'm not listening... I see stuffed olives, lettuce, bits of red pepper and two ice cream cones. I shudder to think what might be inside... This must have come from Mrs. Cropley's bakery.
#3 Just too subtle for my taste.
#4 No.
#5 Scary monster + doily = "Luke... I am your aunt."
#7 Oy! "Bettercreme". I totally wanted these things until I read that. Ok, not so much. Sounds like something Basil would try to foist on the health inspector: "Soy beans and essence of cow."
The 'non-glare glass' doesn't seem to be working, judging by those expressions. And it has to be cleaned with clean water. Why so picky? I've always used farm runoff.
"Here kids, have some food product! It's made with bettercreme! Kids? Where did you go?"
#8 This is actually a set model for Disney's edgiest movie yet: 'Cinderella: The Final Conflict'. "No more pumpkin coach for me -- this time I've got a real ride! Now where are those stepsisters?!"
Note the cameos by 'Ariel' and one of the 'Seven Dwarfs' -- cartoon characters have to take whatever gigs come along, it seems.
Cindy is of course riding a T-Wrecks.
This is so effing hilarious :D
I laugh every time when I wisit this site :DD and your comments are extremly funny.
can't believe what people can do or write on cakes...
I recommended this site to all of my friends.
cheers from Croatia!
Anon @ 4:42 "Cinderella riding T-Rex (or T-WRECKS a la Craig at 4:25) with her naked mohawk-baby carrot jockey army - she is the supreme bettercreme ruler of all cakedom! That's a cake I want! Bippity-boppity-boo!"
FTW!!!!!!!
Am I the only one who is reminded of The Dresden Files novel Dead Beat? (how's that for geek cred?)
#7 was Sesame Street?I thought someone went old skooly and made FryGuys.
Another thumbs up for Cinderella and T. Rex. Best of all is the "For Display Only" sign right behind it!

I want that Cinderella riding a dinosaur! That is an awesome cake.
*lol* My 2 year old daughter spotted the Cinderella T.Rex jockey and now wants a Cinderella Dinosaur cake like that... :D
Never thought I'd see cakes like these.What ever happened to just your old average white,or chocolate cake?...Hahahaha..:)
Wait...what the knob is "Bettercream"? Is that like "I like bread and better?" or "You're butter-off not knowing what goes into our icing?"
Poor Seth...
I love that last cake so much. I especially love the intestines wrapped around both sides of the Cinderella-Dino duo
Cinderella/T. Rex: Tell me that is not a toilet paper roll!
Lol...I love how the cakes are made from "Bettercream"
Had to make a comment just to comment on the word verification: gynarrab - don't know what it is, but pretty sure #4 experienced it!
Maybe that last one was a request...
CAKE BUYER: "I want a cake for twin's birthdays...She loves Cinderella, and he loves dinosaurs. Is there any way you can do a cake with Cindarella AND Dinosaurs on it...and kinda make it go together?"
CAKE DECORATOR: "Yo...no problem! I got just the thing!"
Cinderella cake is only topped by an episode of "Venture Brothers" where there is a cowboy riding a T-rex and shooting a flame thrower! Awesome!
I have to say, I would have loved the Cinderella riding a t-rex cake. :3
If someone got me a cake with Cinderella riding a Tyrannosaurus, I would be absolutely thrilled. This would be particularly true if someone got me what I really want for my birthday - wasted.
Snow white...riding a dinosaur...only on cake Wrecks could this happen! Great stuff xx
That Cinderella riding a T-Rex cake is AWESOME! It is the very epitome of Awesome! It is what the word "awesome" was invented to describe!
Awesome!
Oohhh... they're supposed to be SESAME STREET characters.
I didn't even realize that until I read the comments.
So, is it me or does the "grill" one look amazingly like the "father's day santa suit" wreck, only upside down???? LOL!!!
I suspect that both the Trex cake and the Princess Castle cake behind it are BOTH demonstration cakes. For those who don't know, these demo cakes are usually done by the distributors of the deco-kits, on a styrofoam base with royal icing. If you leave any demo cake out where customers can reach them, they will get fingers stuck in them and have the various bits removed and/or moved around. I work in a bakery and some customer stole the princesses off of our Princess Castle cake (I work in a grocery store bakery and it happened after the bakery was closed) I think someone moved the Cinderella from the castle cake to the t-rex one. That would also explain the noah/abraham figure on the castle.
The end photo..is that cake or plastic?
What's up with the bottom cake?
