Well, don't they say "To err is human, to arr is Pirate"?
Haha, my 7 year old watched me scroll through these cakes today and the only ones he didn't know was the first one and dinosaur. He loved them all. Like I said, he is 7. He thought yesterdays cake was "awesome" I forgot to tell him they were the cake WRECKS.
Is it talk like a pirate day or is Londo Mollari Narrating the page today?
I can't tell.....
Well, I must say, this is reaching pretty FARRRRR!

Yarr, what a motley crue...er, crew o' scurrilous cakes this be!
It brings a tear to me eye thinkin' this lot be callin' themselves professional bakarrrrs...
Happy ITLAP Day me hearties!
Arrr these scaliwags be making me baaarrrff Sharyn thanks for the laughs.
I think the dinosaur one is ad(arrr)able.
The last one is surrrrely Currrrrious Georrrrrge!!!!
That last cake is either Nacho Libre or El SuperBeasto.
What do we say about these cakes? Arrrrrgh.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh my goodness this is awesome Awesome AWESOME! Totally made my day. Now I'll be aarrrr-ing everyone for the rest of the day! Love it :)
Aaarrr! Hee hee hee! Aaarrr!
To celebrate the day, go into Facebook language preferences - one of them is Pirate. It's hysterical!
Londo! I can just hear him reading this and shouting "VIRRRRR! you moon faced assassin of joy!"
5 CCCs (patooie) in one post...aarrrrr!
I think the golf ball cake is slightly freaking me out, the green minivan looking cake is classy, though!
Today's my birthday, here's to hoping my cake doesn't end up on here.
The cake you labeled dinosaur looks more like Hamilton Island where I buried my booty.
That last one looks like a zombie version of the mushroom thingies from the "Mario" franchise. Which would be clever if it were actually intentional. Which it isn't. Oh, well.
That carrrrr cake is wrong on so many levels. Who orders a CCC for their wedding cake, and not a lovely display of individually decorated cupcakes? Can't they dress up the cake tray a bit, since it seems to be celebrating a wedding? I guess the limited budget also means they couldn't afford the inclusion of the requisite streamers and cans tied to the back as well--just a spray painted message on the door. And now the sheet of icing uniting all of the cupcakes is starting to sag, resulting in a quilted appearance for the vehicle... Oh dear, it looks like the back tire also has had a blow out--what a way to start the honeymoon! And the fact that the depiction of the vehicle of itself seems to be done by an elementary school student in art class... Poor couple!
1. If it be a numbARRR two pencil you're wantin', look no fARRRthARRR!
2. They'll not be gettin' fARRR with that flat tie-ARRRR!
3. That wreckerator be the son of a motherless goat what drunk me whole bARRRRel o' rum! (okay, so I got my Amigo mixed with my Pirate...)
4. Who'll be helpin' YOU, flattened, satchel-wearin' HamburgARRR HelpARRR Hand?!?
5. That be the sARRRiest dinosARRRR ever I laid eyes on!
6. If he'd be wearin' a straw hat, he'd almost be Luffy's pirate flag (anyone?). Uh, ARRR, or something.
@ShARRRRyn: uh, good job as always, but mostly I just wanted to say "ShARRRRyn".
I assume that these cakes will be nibbled to death later by by ......Pah! What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet…go "quack".
Cats.
Cats!
Ahoy! Avast! Arrr! :) That WAS fun! Unlike that last wreck which will haunt my sleep tonight.
har har harrrrrrrrr!!!!
I thought the last one looked like Larry the Cucumber in a "flat blue pirate" kinda way.
Dinosaur? That's a dog facing left, with a small round alien hanging from his tail!
Sharyn, I dont know how you do it but you arrrrrrrrrrre by farrrrrr the best.
Now remember lads and lassies: if you go to the barrrrr, don't drive the carrr, or you'll end up in the ERRRRRRRRR.
All of those cakes should be made to walk the plank!
For those of you who have not heard it, there is an official sea chanty for "Talk Like a Pirate Day":

There's also a Cap't Jack Sparrow song by The Great Luke Ski -- the twisted mind behind "Wreckin' By The Book"!

Enjoy!!!
Is it just me or does the dino cake looked like a green dog with an extra face on the end of his tail.
I'm sure that eventually these cakes will be nibbled to death by....by......Pah! What are those Earth creatures called? Feathers, long bill, webbed feet…go "quack".
Vir: .....Cats?
Cats! They'll be nibbled to death by cats.
That golf ball cake should be cARRRRRRRRted away.
Yay, Paul & Storm! Now I have to go listen to the Captain's Wife's Lament again.
TwinMom, my Sib had a CCC wedding cake of sorts. It was CCs frosted red, white and blue, arranged in the shape of the Texas flag (the couple lived in Texas). Cute and much, much less expensive than an official wedding cake.
Harrrharrrharrr! Funny
That's not a golf ball. It's cauliflower being stirred in a put with other veggies with a wooden ladle. It's less of a wreck if you look at it that way. Maybe?
@ bmbagain803: I changed my Facebook language to English (pirate), and it gave me a hearty laugh! I even posted this on a client's Facebook, just for fun.
The golf ball cake shivers me timbers. Too scary!
I watch One Piece, but I can't say that it looks anything like Luffy's flag. I thought it looked more like Cookie Monster in whiteface.
Hardy har har
o.O thanks for explaining what everything was since I saw a steamrollered Winnie the Pooh with tire treads across his face. can't see playing "Jukebox Hero" on that!
TLAP is also my oldest son's birthday! Needless to say, hilarity ensues... :-D
And Sharyn--or is that SHARRRRRRRRRRYN??--your song pARRRRRRRodies take the cake! :-D
Yar! What be a pirate's favorite letter?
You'd think it be "R," but 'tis the "C" !!!!
Man all the wreckerators should be made to walk the plank on these lol. Is that a monkey on the Jolly Roger? That or maybe a rabid cat I can't really tell. My brain exploded from all the pirate talk on here and Facebook lol.
A bit late, but save it for next year:
How do you know when you're a pirate?
You just ARRRRR...
Anybody know where a pirate keeps his buccaneers? Why, under his buckin' hat, of course!
Thanks for the laughs, John!
That last one looks like Papa Lazarou from the English show 'The League of Gentlemen' Scary Scary clown man.....
Awwww, you flatter me so, John & Jen! I'm sure I'll keep sending you pics. I keep finding SO many fails! It's an epidemic I tell you!
I thought the golf ball cake was Mr. Bill with an upside-down headset.
SubPARRRR! *laughing hysterically* pirate pun for the win!
That sangria bottle cake looks like a misshapen phallus with labels on it. Just sayin'. :|
