Shamrocks? How About ShamPOOS?
March 16, 2011 
AHAHAHAHAAA!!Ew.
Those almost make me long for the days of anthropomorphized, lumpy-armed clover characters.
Almost.Ok, I think it's time we addressed the elephant in the room, guys.
Otherwise he'll just keep trampling on all the shamrocks.
Besides, maybe he'll remember what one looks like.
Nooo...
Not quite...
Egads! A pox upon thine cake!
Hey, you know what it is? I think I figured it out: the bakers just need a base of reference! A small photo, perhaps, or some shamrock-shaped things, perhaps made out of plastic...
Oh.Never mind.
Psst. Feelin' "lucky," punk?
'Cuz with fronds like those, you've definitely got anemones.Thanks to Trina D., Michele T., Cara H., Alena C., Sara, Coreena N., Nell B., Robin, and also the elephant in the room, who, when confronted with today's wrecks, offered this insightful commentary:
We hear ya, dude.

the first one looks like what I shovel at the barn...green lumps. Eww. Just...eeew.
WV: smeire
I wish the bakers didn't smeire the frosting after seeing how cute the baby elephant is.
I was feeling depressed earlier so I logged on to Cake Wrecks and was pleasantly uplifted by the "What We Have Here is Failure to Communicate" post--best cakes EVER.
Unfortunately, I just saw your latest post and must admit...I feel depressed again. And sick to my tummy. I think I'll be having flashbacks of the first photo for a LONG time...it's obvious the Gerber Baby had the flu and pooped all over those cupcakes...
:p
LOL :)
wv "forking" I ain't forking eating ANY of the baby poops in that first photo!
The first one answers the question of what leprechauns do in the woods.
I'm not so sure "Lucky" is a shamrock. He looks a bit like the character from Hemp Tycoon to me. More like "Lucky that when the cops raided your place, they didn't find your crop."
Loved the Finding Nemo reference!
There's a peacock in the sham shamrocks.

Well, might be able to kick up some of these shampoos by inferring that "Irish Spring" is the only worthwhile product to come off the Aisles.
I once found the end of the rainbow.
And saints above, there it did sit.
A huge pot of gold from the fairies.
Then I blinked and it turned into
...
Shaving cream, be nice and clean.
Shave every day and you'll always look keen.
The one strongly resembles a Peacock.
The first picture is nauseating. Do decorators not have a picture or know what a clover looks like? I could understand if it was an intricate design of a flower, like a rose, but it's a clover. It's on the Lucky Charms box! Clovers and Pine Trees don't have an excuse to look bad.
Someone needs to start a no'poo revolution for wreckarators! It seriously needs to stop.

That first cake makes me nostalgic for microbiology class. Oh, the mold cultures we grew and nurtured that semester!
And excuse you, but that sixth cake depicts the rare and endangered brown-spotted peacock clover, found only in the dark recesses of the wreckiest of bakeries. Have some respect.
In conclusion, cute baby elephant is really, really, really, really cute.
Really almost threw up on the first cake- the FIRST CAKE!
Shampo.. Now thats some funny stuff..
Oh, slap your self for the anemones joke! Loved it. Love the elephant, too!
"With fronds like these..." LOL My son is delighted that you've quoted his favorite band, Owl City! Kudos!
Haha, some of these are pretty gross! Can you imagine the color your tongue would turn after one bite?
Oh and kudos on the R&J and the Owl City references! I greatly appreciated them!
#1 – those are mutant, um, “swimmers” from Futurama
#4- W.T.F. really, if you’re not even going to try why waste the sparklie stuff sprinkled across it??
#6- looks exactly like the NBC Peacock with it’s head in the sand…guess that makes this an Ostrich?
#7- I thought it was wearing a bow tie until I realized THAT was the plastic flotsam.
#8- at least it’s a happy anemone.

I StumbledUpon this website some time ago and it completely slipped my mind until I found it again today, and I just have to say: OMFG I didn't realize a CAKE, of all things, could be so funny. Those shamrocks were all kinds of special. Love it! Thanks for the lolz
Gross!! Dare I ask why these wreckerators seem to be obsessed with turning all holiday cakes into poo catastrophes? Lol funny but also very very scary.
Haha so hilarious. thanks.
#1 Saints preserve us. Do these wreckerators not look at what they've done? I know some colors change radically depending on the lighting; these must have been made during a power outage. Or a brain outage...
#2 A still from 'The Gumby Workout Video'. Not to be confused with 'The Mr. Gumby Workout Video' which involves smashing bricks together and stuffing flowers upside-down into vases.
#3 What did giant chocolate chip cookies ever do to deserve the treatment they receive?
#4 looks like a model of a putting green. Sure, it's buttercream (or says so, anyway), but I can't get past the color. Or the fact of it being a CCC (patooie!).
#5 The thumbprint really makes this one -- without that, it would be so ordinary.
#6 Are people really trying to pass strange hybrid succulents off as shamrocks? I mean, really!
#7 Ah, an entry from the Irish Southwest: The endangered 'shamrock cactus'. Also known as a 'Gerber Cactus', it is delicious when deep-fried.
#8 "Lucky" on a cake is not a good sign, especially when paired with...whatever that thing is below. That 'fronds and anemones' remark is probably the best argument against stronger pun control laws yet to be put forth.
#9 Cue Henry Mancini. I am just old enough to remember when 'The Baby Elephant Walk' was popular. Oy.
Is that Mr Shuffles at the end??
Definitely more sham than rock :D
WV: terse (yep really) - I know my comment was rather terse, but that was all I needed to say.
Om my god, I almost risked peeing my pants looking at this entry. Well done!
Have I told you lately that I love you guys? You never fail to brighten my day/make me snort with laughter so that my coworkers think i'm even crazier than they knew. All in all, its a win/win thing.
"fronds" "anemones"
Are you an Owl City fan, Jen?
(If not, check out The Bird and the Worm by them. )=0)
You forgot St Urho's Day!!!! The mass Finn/American Day that is held on March 16th each year. The Finns wear purple in honor of St Urho!!! Maybe next year??
Ewwwww! Cat poop cupcakes! Thanks Jen I was longing for a cupcake, ummmm I may never eat cupcakes again! Blech!!!!p.s. My diet thanks you!!!OMG! I just puked a little,gag!!!
Ok the elephant baby is now my backdrop on my computer..totally made me squee!!
loved the owl city reference!
OMG OWL CITY COMMENT!
'with fronds like these, well, who needs anemones?'
DADADADADADA
#1 looks like how I imagine my first poop to look like (my parents will never let me forget the story of how, just after I was c-sectioned out of there thanks to my lateness, I decided to take a dump on the table.)
Also, thanks for the Finding Nemo reference. Love!
