The Big Bang Theory
July 3, 2012 When it comes to cake fireworks, bakers like to start things off with a bang:
;)
Although sometimes they're less about writing the word BANG and more about...um...
;)
...exploding...hotdogs.
;)
Or...candy canes.
Or...
;)
...defying the laws of physics.
(Ouch.)
Hey, you know what every 4th of July needs?
Exploding balls, that's what.
;)
(Double ouch.)
I'm pretty sure this baker only works for tips:
;)
"Ready...aim...."
Figures. Just when I find some fireworks that almost sorta kinda LOOK like fireworks...
;)
...I realize they're supposed to be surfboards.
Because that totally makes sense.
Well, I guess it's only fair that we go out with a big bang:
;)
Just make sure you have it home by 11.
Pro Tip: icing elevations lasting more than four hours may require professional attention. Discontinue piping and call your baker if you experience dizziness, sudden sugar cravings, or the uncontrollable urge to make cupcake cakes.
Thanks to Meredith M., Erin W., Holly A., Elisabeth M., Shara S., Laura R., Natalie & Jennifer for the bang-up job!

We get to see the "gunpowder balls" cake under the "defying laws of physics" one. You see where it went!
Isn't it odd that a twelve-year-old has a good idea of what the joke is? As in, a GROSS idea?
I'm fairly certain that PrimBrit is correct. When I turned 18, my friends dragged me into one of those stores with brown paper "decorating" their windows. That store sold the exact decoration on wreck #2.
wrong! they are all wrong! ;o)
The law of physics and good for the other high school sciences, like anatomy. Now class this is a diagram of the male's reproductive organ with a helpful indication of semen flow. I think this should clear a few things up.
Did "Mr.Happy" on #4 just squeeze out a little carrot?
And #5 is obviously a pair of neutron stars, in decaying orbit and starting to collide. One is red and the other is blue because their extreme orbital speed (up pretty close to the speed of light) is causing Doppler red- and blue-shifts.
*Snicker* *Snicker* *Snort* Okay, now that I've anonymously betrayed my maturity level, I'm going to go read more cake wrecks.
I thought the first one looked like Bart Simpson barfing....but who am I?
In the surfboard one, the lone sun cupcake is really cute.
I wonder if I could have taken it out and been like "just this one please!".
I'm thinking 4 & 5 were originally one cake and are the result of a retrograde implosion!
Sky Rockets in flight... Afternoon delight. ;+P Well looks like some decorators were in the mood for an afternoon delight...lmao
I thought #5 ment you were supposed to tie dye your chest hair when wearing a bikini.
I'm just here for the comments.
I'm almost embarrassed to find this post SO FUNNY.
"Pro Tip: icing elevations lasting more than four hours may require professional attention. Discontinue piping and call your baker if you experience dizziness, sudden sugar cravings, or the uncontrollable urge to make cupcake cakes."
HILARIOUS! OMG. Just... so funny... and gross.
Oh @Sharyn, the "hotdogs" may not deliver, but you certainly do and @mel, I think you're swell :) unless you weren't being punny, in which case, I'm a lady and I didn't see anything dirty in that phrasing either.
I guess that is why they call it "banging."
I'm seriously afraid of these cake decorators now.
