Annual Wreckage Review
April 27, 2011 "Good season, bakers, good season! A lot of you showed up, some of you made some stuff, a few gave roughly 65%, and I'd say this Easter was our 'best' yet!
"Now, let's review how our new designs performed this year. Elmer? I believe you have some numbers for us?"
"Yes, thank you, sir. [starting slide show] First up, our 'Clown Face Bunny' here made a huge impression in the 3-7 age bracket...
"...but, unfortunately, most were screaming too incoherently for us to make much of their feedback.
"Next up, 'Dalek Face' seemed to garner a lot of attention from college students in particular:
"Plus at least one customer was spotted chasing his girlfriend yelling, 'EXTERMINATE,' so I'd call that a 'win.'""'Bunny brick,' however, went over like a ton of itself:
"I think next year we should add a tail.""Our cross-over design for Passover, 'Rabbi Rabbit', also had mixed reviews:
"Something about an explosive head injury? I don't know. You guys see anything wrong here?""'Well, moving on, 'Ninja Bunny' made a killing, in a manner of speaking:
"So I'd say we made a good call on the throwing carrots.""'Baby Bunny Cake' was also a hit...
"...er, with cats."Yes, I know it's strange, but we had several customers wander over from the pet aisle, and they told us their cats loved the feather accents. So that's a keeper right there."
"'Puddle o' Poo,' however, actually got a few complaints:
"It turns out our marketing team was wrong: people only like chocolate icing poo when it's featured on Cake Wrecks. To quote our Marketing lead Stacey, 'Our bad.'""And finally, our Simpsons tribute lamb may need to get chopped next year. (Heh. Aheh. Little joke for you there.)
"Ahem. Yes, it turns out, not everyone loves Moe the bartender. So next year Marketing suggests we try a Maggie model, with a sugar pacifier.""It's gonna be awesome."

Another day, another cake wreck (sigh). Love that planet-of-the- apes-lamb-of-god cake. It should not be eaten and be preserved for posterity's sake. Amen.
AAAAAAAUGH! It's the return of the "Fingeroo" eyeballs from last Friday! AAAAAAAUGH!
Love the Doctor Who reference, btw. I am OBSESSED with that show. Seriously. I know the name of every episode since 2005.
That lamb looks like the creepy Bil Baird lamb puppet in The Sound of Music. Ho-Ho-Lay-He-Ho-Ho-Lee-Ho!!!
I wonder if someone looking like the Doctor walked by and that Dalek face cake and it shouted, "The Doctor must be EXTERMINATED!!!!" win!
L-O=V=E the Doctor Who reference. Who would have guessed that my son would actually be interested in my favorite website?
HAHAHA SIMPSONS LAMB. Jen I love you. And that thing does look RIDICULOUSLY like moe.
Rabbi Rabbit and Simpson's Lamb...Have I mentioned lately how much I love this blog? Thanks for a good laugh today!
Two comments. First, I would totally buy a Dalek/bunny cake. Second, who on earth thought FEATHERS were a good idea for a cake decoration? Bleck. That's worse than biting down on eggshell.
WV: crize. The crize of children who saw the bunny brick cake could be heard for miles around.
that lamb... is starring into my soul... and creeping the bejuses out of me
$8.99? Seriously? Maybe if you needed a frosting fix.
Puddle of poo. Oh dear.
throwing carrots? bwahahahahahaha

@etselec- oh, freakin' heck!! now, I'll be singing that for DAYS.
