Random Weekly Roundup
September 28, 2012 Every week or so I sort through all the new submissions you guys have sent in. It's pretty fun, flipping through a random assortment of horror and hilarity all at once like that, so today I thought I'd share some of the ones from our latest batch that especially gave me the giggles:
Captain America Flees the Evil Laptop of Doom:
"Look out! IT'S ABOUT TO REBOOT!!"
(Yeah, yeah, I know it's not a laptop. It's a...um...briefcase? Of doom?)
Call me old fashioned, but I usually like my weddings and baby showers to at least get their own cakes:
Ooh, hey, do you think after they finished playing "dirty diaper," the bride threw it over her shoulder to a waiting crowd of toddlers? (Whoever catches it will be the next one potty-traaaained!)
And speaking of parties, it looks like the Greens did the Time Warp at this year's "runion":
;)
Hey, maybe they know the Browns! (You know, Doc Brown? Back to the Future? Oh, never mind.)
This next one isn't so much a wreck as it is my new favorite baker: Wreckporter Jen ordered a cake, and when asked what she wanted on it, she just said, "Surprise me."
This is what she got:
SURPRISE!
And finally, if you've ever wondered at what point your baker needs an intervention, this is that point:
;)
That, my friends, is a donut.
A donut with an ice-cream cone filled with solid icing crammed on top of it.
It's basically a sticky, loneliness-laced call for help.
Better eat it quick, before it gets too depressing.
Thanks to Michelle B., Kayla N., Carlton H., Jen J., and Rivit for the 'screams.

Oh. Oh my. Pikachu nipples.
What is this I don't even-- *explodes with laughter*
I think it was already pretty clear on Cake #2 that the guy was Randy.
That Pikachu cake...oh gosh, I'm still giggling. xD
The arrow pointing to the nipples is just the funniest :-D Thanx for the chuckles!!
In British tradition, you get a three-tier cake for the wedding,
with the top tier is kept for the firstborn christing.
And the other 2 with one for the people at the wedding and other for those who didn't come.
Wierd so that cake kinda is actually really cool to me,
The 3rd cake definitely says "Greer". I wasn't at this particular reunion (Thank God cause I hate my in laws - LOL), but I can recognize my last name in many a "wreck". Most come from handwritten cards, letters, and forms though. OR the telemarketer that butchers the pronunciation as if it was something Greek. LOL.
@AshleyP - you read my mind and stole my quote!
And my hubby was standing by on the Captain America cake, pointing out "Wait, isn't this the 'Blogger Jen' that you idolize and call your soul mate? Then HOW does she not know that is the Tesseract case and NOT a laptop?"
But don't worry Jen - I do still love you way too much for someone I've never met in person. :-)
Actually, I really LIKE that nipple cake. I'd be pleased as punch with it. In the eyes of the beholder, I guess! :-D
I vote that "Pikachu Nipples" becomes the next shirt design. We atleast have to put it on an apron or SOMETHING.
Pikachu nipples just made me laugh so hard I choked! So. Much. Awesomeness!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Mark me down as another nipple cake lover!!!!!!! I will be giggling about that cake for days. I think we have a winner for the cover of your next book, Jen. Hint, hint!
I love this blog, but this is the first time I'm posting something... But the "nipples" cake, made me laugh so loud I almost choked.
I just forced my husband to read this post a good 15 hours after I first saw it. I am STILL laughing at the nipple cake!
And I agree - the arrow really puts it over the top. Just in case we weren't sure where to look. :)
Now we know what Pikachu does between episodes of Pokemon: he goes to the bar, gets drunk, and doesn't remember what happened the next morning. LOL
Yes, I'm a Pokemon fan. ;)
Oh, sweet cone of sugar-induced-coma! Why am I never so lucky to find such a lovely treat? (honestly, I believe cake is just a vehicle for as much icing as is humanly possible)
"nipples" won hands down in our home. It even elicited laughter from my husband.
Yes Andrea! My favorite part of the Pickachu nipples cake is also the arrow. That AND that is is such a well executed cake. Best wreck! Best doggone(or should I say "dogdong") wreck ever!
An ice-cream cone filled with solid icing .......... yummmmm!!
I'd buy the top cake just for the Captain America figure.
The nipples cake looks like a DQ ice cream cake...and definitely the kind of thing we'd have put on a cake if left to our own devices when I worked there :P
Lol I love the surprise that she got. Never ever ask them to surprise you is the moral of that story hilarious though it is. Loved that donut plus ice cream frosted yumminess. I would be in a rush of sugar so bad my husband would have to tranquilize me lol.
Pika-boo-chu = perfect
Oh Sharyn, why did you send me to Urban Dictionary? I was having a shiny, happy time singing along with you, and then.....Will I ever be able to trust you again? I think it will take at least a day.
I'm only a light flyweight for lyrics; not in Sharyn's class, but this is what came to mind.
For M. Dale, Isabella, and Jeanette:
Bring a cone, Jeanette, Isabella.
Bring a cone, filled with frosting, fun!
It's a donut, and you know you want one;
Colorful sprinkles are sweetly calling;
Ah! ah! beautiful is the sugar
Ah! ah! beautiful is the rush!
Also: the arrow looks like it's tickling Pikachu under the arm. Maybe that's what makes the nipples show up! :p
I seldom *actually* 'laugh out loud' at a post on the interwebs, but the 'nipples' cake just floored me. I was just howling with laughter at that one. Oh my, yes.
I have to ask if the baker has a long-standing relationship with the client, 'cuz I can't imagine making a cake like that one for a stranger! Sure, the reaction MAY be laughter....but it may NOT.....
I was wondering why Cap Am was standing on that star/circle combo...eventually, I realized they'd tried to do his shield but the outer ring of red is just at tiny bit (not so as you'd hardly notice) non-circular. Plus, the white ring is a wee bit (not so as you'd hardly notice) out of proportion and non-circular.
Maybe he changes in that briefcase OF DOOM like Superman in a phone booth? He's gotta have somewhere to stash the shield.
Clearly, I haven't seen either of his movies yet.
I cannot wait for the next, poor sucker to insist I attend a surprise party. I will be shouting "nipples." That's not really a wreck, of course, since it certainly surprised her. Of course, if it didn't, I really want to meet her and become besties. Hopefully, the baker comes forward for their 15 minutes of internet fame.
I see on food shows that maple frosted donuts with bacon are popular (urk!) but I would walk miles through snow/hurricane and uphill both ways to eat a donut with a frosting filled ice cream cone on it. That, my friends, is under the phrase "awesomeness squared" in the dictionary.
Sharyn, you should know by now how much I adore and admire you but "I’d avoid the Pokemon Until you put something on" WINS THE INTERWEBS FOREVER. Everyone should just shut down and go home now. Of course, I also now know to never click on a link from you. ;)
@SamMac fess up- you're the baker and you regret you didn't do the piercings (which would have been brilliant but I'd actually thought "too bad it's hard to make a nice icing boa").
@laxmom (stands and applauds)
@hypen8 the only thing better than your song is your name :D
To Zoomom: Nice.
And to Pikachu Nipples (thanks, Sharyn, by the way :-D ) baker: You rock!
As for that last one, I belong to the Church of There's No Such Thing As Too Much Icing. Let us pray...
I just thought I would let you know that the Green Political party here in Aust was founded by Bob Brown. After seeing that cake and your comment it just seemed appropriate. :-)
Oh and Pikachu Nipples - :-D
Between Sharyn, and nipples and frosting LOLOLOL
Why does Captain America have a wizard's hat? I don't understand.
LOVE the nipples surprise! I want to shake that baker's hand.
OK, the 'Nipples!' cake has me giggling uncontrollably at work. It's amazing. Funniest ever, with the story attached to it. Worth being embarrassed in front of my work mates!
@Katimomkat I was wondering that myself, if you get real close and look it's actually a Captain America figurine.
Also - Nipples :D
I'd just like to say that when I read "potty-traaaained", I totally read it as Oprah giving away something. That is all. Oh, and nipples. XD
Honestly, after looking at the cake with ta-tas piped onto Pikachu with red piping gel, I can sincerely imagine a Snorlax cake with man boobs. (Snorlax is my favorite Pokemon.)
Is it sad I thought Hey pikachu looked amazing! LoL, very detailed with added red nipples!
I'd totally eat that cake!
The important question is: Was the 'Nipples' cake good?
The big cross behind the wedding/baby shower cake caught my eye. Maybe a not so subtle hint from a mother-in-law?
As someone who has made the Captain America cake before, I *think* the gray thing is a little stand with a monochromatic New York skyline on the background. Each of the individual Avengers cakes comes with one that has an "appropriate" setting. Why Captain America is not placed on the stand in the design, only the fine people at DecoPac can say.
Oh nipples <3
NIPPLES! I am crying right now! Best. Cake. Ever! I could only hope to be the recipient of such an awesome cake!
That's my wedding/baby shower cake. All I asked for was a wedding cake I didn't even have a baby shower so i'm not sure exactly sure why our backer put that there. For the pp the thing to the left is our wedding date (4-23-11). Thanks Jen coming across this made my day:)
Wedding-baby cake
is covering all bases.
Second base, third base . . .
An ice cream cone... FULL... of icing... on top of a donut also covered with icing... sob... how long until I can collect everything necessary to assemble one of my own...
