Off By a Hare
April 19, 2011 Ok, bunny cakes! This is your week to shine.
HIT IT!
Um...
Very attractive.
(Get it? 'Cuz it's shaped like a magnet? Eh? EH??)
But seriously, that's terrible.
Oh COME ON.
You're joking, right?
And this is just cheating.Badly.
What the...?
A sunburned mouse? Really?
Look, maybe you should just go back to cheating.
'Cuz this is getting disturbing. [shudder]
Those eyes are staring into my soul.Hold me.
C'mon, bakers, you can do better than this! Let's try for a big finish, eh? Ready? Aaaaand....
GO!
AAAAAAIIIIEEEE!!

This is sad. Really sad.
Actually, I give a pass to the bunny-log. It has a cute face even if it's just an oddly re-purposed roll cake.
It's a good thing it's morning and I just had coffee. Because if I needed to sleep after seeing those, I'd probably have nightmares. Gah!
Easter bunny will eat your soul
That 4th one - a bunny in black face? Really?
On that first one, I'm guessing the baker had pig cakes left over?
The fourth one isn't bad its just different its well done it just is unrealisticly colord
fantastic, really a spectacular collection today. that coconut(?) covered pink bunny was so close and then they decided to frost and decorate and things went downhill quickly. if you have a pan that does so much of the work for you to then screw it up is remarkable!
I'm ashamed to admit, but I kinda like the purple bunny log roll.
It's cute in a creepy kind of way.
Ummm...is that 4th one just a coffee can covered with frosting? And its lid hidden by a chocolate digestive biscuit? And stoo is right, it looks ready for a Minstrel Show. A cute, well-frosted Minstrel Show, but about a century too late for comfort, nonetheless.

Stay away from the first one...it looks rabid. O.o
The last one scares me. Even if it has a Pi mouth. Looks like it's saying "Must..Eat..Children.."
The others are just pathetic!
The last one looks like he's a member of the British judicial system.
I think the last one looks like George Washington in an alternate reality where he was a crackhead.
Just me? Darn.
HA HA HA
Laughing SO hard at these!!!
#1 since when do mutant pink pigs wear bananas for hats???, #2 Rabbit Roadkill perhaps?, #3 bunny on acid, #4 bunny stuck in purple legwarmer from the 80's then hit in face with hammer, #6 poo with eyes, #8 large psoriatic rabbit- ewwww, #5 7 & 9 the reason some bakers should quit their day jobs.
Sure #8 isn't a pinata?
Why is there a cockroach cake in this line-up?
Something about cake #8 reminded me of this:

(I think it's the icing around the bottom. Martian toes!)
Please bring back the airbrushed pink bunny from yesterday. He was at least cute in a hey-I-can-draw-that-too kinda way. Today's little pink bunny looks more like Pig from Pearls Before Swine.
The dark evil beast (disguised by a pair of teensy bunny ears) slowly rises up out of the slimy green pond, lurking silently until the kids from the Easter egg hunt wander too far into the forest...alone...
#3 isn't a rabbit. It's an alien. One of the rarely sighted, but extremely vicious "pinks".
wv= ditses The people who made those rabbits are all ditses
The "Bunny Log" is quite cute. Even better if its an icebox cake.
Comments by a 7 year old...
pic #1 - that one looks weird
#2 - I don't know what it is! But it looks like a "u"
#3 - that one looks like a bug
#4 - that one looks like a purse
#5 - that one looks really cute (wha...??)
#6 - that one looks like a beetle
#7 - what is that? I think it's funny
#8 - that one looks like a pinata
#9 - that one is cute (she's 7... )
#10 - that one looks like a billy goat, but my 12 year old insists that it's a zombie form of George Washington.
:)
Yeah that last cake scared me too...especially the 8.99 emblazoned on the top. It's like they REALLY expect you to pay 9 bucks to scare the pants off your kids/relatives. Of course I'd be the evil person who'd say "For nine bucks you'd better rig it to squirt fake blood!"
Oh and I'm gonna be singing that song aaaaaall day now thanks to you :)
That last one looks like Bugs Bunny crossed with the vorpal bunny from Holy Grail. With rabies.
Run away! Run away!
And because of course I don't read the comments first... I may be the twelfth to reference this!!
Cake #2?
Isn't it OBVIOUS!! It's inspired by THIS gem:

Smokey Robinson on Sesame Street, "U Really Got A Hold On Me"
Which brought up in conversation on facebook recently led to an interesting discovery. Most of my friends were traumatized by this video. lol

The era when men were men and dux were dux.
Wow, those were disturbing.
The Pink coconut one on first glance, I thought it was meat! (shudder)

Is it just me, or does #5 look like it has an actual cotton ball for the tail? Mmmmm.... fuzzy goodness.
I'd do the log-shaped bunny. At least they did a good job with the face and all. Even if it is purple. It's still cute.
Love that alien rabbit, too, with the orange and pink antennae. For your sci-fi themed Easter celebration.
I have to admit that the purple log cake (I'm guessing it's ice cream sandwiches stacked together and frosted) is clever and cute. The pastel is not a typical bunny color yes, but it fits many Easter decorations...
*ducks*
I have to admit that I too like the bunny log! :)
Well, my 2 1/2 year old daughter immediately said "nunny guk" (bunny cake) when she saw these, so they can't be that bad. Right...?
Yeah, I kinda like the log roll bunny too, actually. At least, I'd be willing to eat that one and it's not demon-possessed. These make me thankful for plastic flotsam, as well. Cheesy, but at least we know what they're intending to make this way.
OMG I've been seeing that purple log one advertising on TV for the past couple weeks for a certain famous ice cream shop! AND the first thing I said was "Wow, that's a wreck!" Haha!
Aww, I quite like the round tube purple one, at least it does look like a rabbit and looks quite cute. Not sure how you'd cut it though...
That bunny log is from Baskin Robbins!! I saw the commercial the other day and was appalled.
Wow. Just wow.
If the bunny log roll is ice cream cake (it looks like something Baskin Robbins would make), I'd eat it. With my eyes closed.
Please tell me there will be bunny sweets on Sunday to make up for the last two days' cakes?
Those are some Fierce Bad Rabbits!
I actually kind of like the magnet bunny ccc (patooie!) in a between-the-choice-of-that-cake-and-getting-my-hand-chopped-off-I'd-choose-the-bunny-magnet kind of way. *Shields face with arms, looks around, and runs away*

i think number 6 is somekind of mutant bulbord from pikmin
the log o'bunny was quite creative
Baskin Robbins has a commercial for that purple bunny log...where the father is on the baby monitor subliminally asking the mom who is in the bedroom asleep for that creepy cake. in the background the kids are grinning knowing that they may get to eat purple frosting and have funky poo...*nuff* said!
wv: bablera~ my mutterings after some of these cake wrecks...
I thought everyone knew the religious significance of sunburnt mice.
Attracted! *snort* Hahahahahaha!!!
All it needs are the little black things in the magnetic man game (put the facial hair on him...)
Thanks for including this year's B-R Easter Bunny roll cake, which made me laugh out loud when I saw it on TV a week or two ago. It's really walking a fine line.
Are we sure that the pink coconut-y one (*7) isn't actually meat? Cause I'm pretty sure it's eye is 1/2 a black olive...
That complete chocolate 'bunny' thing, looks like one of those bug monsters in Pikmin. I now oddly want to dig that game out...
The fourth one looks like a bunny cannon.
That third one looks cute to me. Maybe it's just not as bad. Is it possible Cake Wrecks has ruined my judgement? "Oh, that cake's not bad. If you want to see bad, look at this!" *holds up picture of The Wheeled Loch Ness Peep Monster CCC (patooie)*
Did anyone notice #1 appears to be rabid?
Seriously, though, do people buy those fugly cakes? Even if I was totally desperate for an Easter cake, no way would I be buying one of those for MY table.
WV: twoat- If I tried to eat one of those ghastly cakes it would stick in my widdle twoat.
