Wrecky Replay: To Be Read By Rod Serling
December 29, 2011 Deedeedeedeeedeedeedeedee
You unlock this bakery with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension.
A dimension of icing.
A dimension of piping bags.
A dimension of wreckitude.
You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of bad taste and even worse skill. You just crossed over into...
BUM BUM BAAAAAHHHH...
Picture, if you will... a monkey. This monkey:
;)
[resuming serious announcer voice] Ahem. Now picture, if you will, five ravenous-yet-dim-witted Shih Tzu dogs:
;)
Now picture, if you will, a face of terror that watches in malignant silence far beyond your present capacity to understand. A face enigmatically bizarre in terms of time and space. A face...
;)
Now picture, if you will, Meerkat Zombies...raising the roof.
;)
This is the stuff of fantasy, the thread of imagination, the ingredients... of the Twilight Zone.
BUM BUM BAAAAAHHHHH... SQUEEDLEDEEEE!!!
Jennifer P., Matt N., Christine S., and Melanie L., picture, if you will... a dolphin eating a Snickers bar in flip-flops and a cardigan. Then tell me what that looks like. I've always wondered.
Note: A couple of people suggested the pictures should be in black and white which was an awesome idea. So we changed them. I think it adds to the ambiance, don't you? For those who really want to see the full color versions, click here.
UPDATE! LeAnna and Woobie took up the dolphin challenge and sent in their ideas.
AWESOME! Check out the flip flop thongs on his flippers.
And next we have Woobie's
See, the snickers bar is wearing the cardigan and flip flops because I apparently have no grasp of sentence structure. ?thought Who would have
Touché!
This one's from Vanilla Smoke. Awesome!

Awesome! Totally Awesome! You have so much more fun in your job than I do in mine.
Good thing you had the links for the coloe pictures. I totally had to take your word on the Tweety bird cake in the black and white picture. It could have been anything... *shiver*
This is awesome. Would you like to know why? IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON ON SYFY. Which is, as everybody knows, the best part of New Year's.
(I have a mad crush on Rod Serling.)
Awww . . . the meerkats are standing in a field of poo in both black and white and color!
Whose intestines are those meerkats frolicking in??? Mmmmmm I want a "bottom" piece!
I love Woobie's drawing! Genius and silly all at once!
Oh good grief, talk about Twilight Zone moments.... I checked in here this morning while an old "Cannon" episode was palying on tv... and just as i reached your BUM BUM BAAAAAHHHHH SQUEEDLEDEEEE, so did the orchestra on the show! Eerie echoes, to go along with the wreckorator-provided ones!
Super imagery.... Especially with the black and white. Excellently done!
I have utterly lost track of how many times I mutter, "What the hell IS that?" when viewing Cake Wrecks. Thank you.
Uh, the way you wrote the sentence, I imagined that the Snickers bar was wearing flip-flops and a cardigan... Not that that makes any more, or less, sense than a dolphin wearing flip-flops and a cardigan... (And why are they called flip-flops now? When I was growing up, they were called thongs and only worn when you were going to or from the swimming pool. I know that thongs are now underwear, but, oh, never mind...
I'm dying to see your challenge as a cake now.
So much for the theory that everything looks better in black and white...
As soon as I saw the opening of this post, I just had to go to Youtube and find Manhattan Transfer's Twilight Zone, then read the post with it in the background. Awww...some!
I don't understand what those dolphin things have to do with cakes?
@Donkalooza, when I was growing up we called that footwear "zorries" - I never knew why. Flipflops was #2, thongs #3.
As to today's cakes: the monkey-face cake is actually very impressive technically. But yeah, I'd be too terrified to cut into it. And the Shih Tzu cupcakes ... how could anyone eat one of those, when the wreckerator got the pleading-puppy look down so perfectly?
The monkey face is fitting, as Cheetah the Chimpanzee just died a few days ago at the age of 80.
UUUGGGHHH!!!! D:
Woobie's pic made me choke on my ice cream! Totally awesome!
The doggie cupcakes are cute, but the other cakes are horrifying! The black-and-white makes them even creepier, especially the Tweetie Bird cake. That one looked like an alien from some old B movie.
Are you guys ok? I noticed you hadn't posted for Tue, Dec 27th. Wondered if you had and it was taken down. Considering you guys find a way to post on holidays, vacations, out of the country (Canada), on the water (cruise), on painkillers, in sickness, and in health, I figured you must be going through something.
Do you need me to ship you some chicken soup?
On another note, the meerkats finally creeped me out.
This is my favorite post you have ever had. Keep it up!
Today's post is definitely more in character with the pix in black & white - very TZ. Somehow it makes the cakes even creepier.
@Jules, I'm used to calling them rubber slippers or just slippers...they also sometimes get called zoris - it's a Japanese word for them.
ah...the Twilight Zone...one of the best TV shows ever....and yes, definitley in black and white...thanks for the memories (and the smiles....)....
love the pictures at the end. and your lack of sentence structure made me laugh when i saw the pic that went along with it :) THANKS!!!!!!!
Excellent!
Now we just need those dolphin pics to be made into cakes!
Oh, the B&W photos most definitely work better than they would in color... more theme-appropriate; also keeps away any distractions from the true horror of these wrecks.
(PS: You have the best fans, coming up with dolphin illustrations so soon after you asked... My favorite has to be Woopsie's... It's got sort of an 'Eats Shoots & Leaves' thing going on.)
Ooops! I meant Woobie's rendition... Obviously I have trouble reading properly.
Am I going crazy, or is this a duplicate post?
[Editor's note- Yup. A wrecky replay. We're slacking. -john]
@Donkalooza & @Jules. I think it depends on the part of the country you grew up in. I've always known them as flip flops (because of the sound they make), but being an Air Force brat, and living in different parts of the country, have also hear zories and thongs. I think it's kind of like what you call soda depends on what part of the country you grew up in (soda, cola, coke, or pop).
I have read this post three times now just so I can laugh myself silly at the "squeedleDEEE" part. Thanks for making my day!
"So long, and thanks for all the fish."
"What up, playah?" made me snort. I'm wishing my birthday hadn't just happened, because I totally want hip hop zombie meerkats on my next birthday cake. Now I have to wait a whole damn year. *sigh*
Fact: I 100% thought the header said "Rod Stewart." It was equally awesome (though perhaps more confusing) with his voice.
Sara, are you sure you're not me?
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SCIFI'S NEW YEAR'S TWILIGHT ZONE MARATHON! Even though I have the complete series on DVD! New Year's just isn't New Year's with The Twilight Zone marathon on SciFi. I'm looking forward to seeing Rod again, as he's the father of my children. Well... he is in my own personal Twilight Zone. ;)
But anyway, seriously AWESOME post. I can totally hear Rod Serling in my head, complete with the awesomesauce music.
Cake #3-Those are supposed to be...meerkats? They don't look like either of the meerkats I've ever seen (there's the real-life ones, and then there's Timon!) I must say, I'd prefer to look at Timon, thank you!
