Obama's New Groove
November 18, 2014 One of Mike B.'s friends ordered an Obama cake for another, more politically-inclined friend. You know, something like this:
;)
But apparently the baker didn't hear him right over the phone, because instead...
they got this:
;)
;)
Yes, a llama. I swear I'm not making this up.
According to Mike, once she discovered the mistake the baker offered to replace the cake for free, but the guys wouldn't let her. Because, c'mon, that is one awesome llama.
Hey Mike B, squeakity squeakers squeak squeak 'um.

Bwaahahahahaheehehehehehehoooo....*cough*
Oh man, that is greatness. :D
That cake is so far past a fail, it is a success!
Obama, bama, mo-ma-ma
Bo-na-na, fana, bo-ba-ma
Mee-mi mo-ma-ma
Faux Llama!
That's a good llama...it's actually RECOGNIZABLE as a llama...which makes this an Epic Wreck...or Wreck Epic...at any rate, I agree with RachelCrazyMum it passed up fail and flew right into FTW!!! :-D
I llamanate this cake "best mistake cake ever!"
Love the reference from "The Emperor's New Groove" which is one of my all time favorite Disney Movies and the only time that I heard legendary singer Tom Jones singing a Salsa number in the film's opening!
I don't think I believe that story; but if it gives an excuse to reference "The Emperor's New Groove", I'll take it!
[Editor's note- Hi Erica. Yeah, I was right there with you. I showed Jen when it came in and we both said it was unbelievable. Then, I emailed the submitter and got more background and I'm completely convinced that it's true. I just hope we hear from the baker today since I'd love to know more. -john (thoJ)]
They are such INTERESTING-looking creatures. Know what else is interesting? That cake--the textural aspect. It reminds me of the llama cakes that my grandmother use to knit for me... =^-.-^=
If that cake were a stuffed toy it would be a dolly llama....
There once was a man called Obama
Whose cake looked much like a llama
'Twas such a big fail
Caused some to bewail
But others considered it karma!
Too political??!
Another "Emperor's New Groove" fan signing in. An underrated gem of a movie.
A catchphrase in our house is: "Why do we even HAVE that lever???!!!!"
This cake also allows me to quote Ogden Nash:
The one L lama, he's a priest,
The two L llama, he's a beast.
And I will bet my silk pajama
There isn't any three L lllama.
(To which someone told him large fires can sometimes be three "L-lllamas" which makes sense if you live in Boston.
I believe this cake is definitely a three-L lllama. Maybe four.
Thanks for the laugh! I can always count on you for a quick pick-me-up. Go OLlamaNation!
That's one awesomely amazing llama! Uh-huh!!
Thank you for making my day...my week...my month. I laughed so hard I snorted my soda onto the computer and didn't even mind mopping it up. That llama was very well done and recognizable. The back story really does make it an epic fail...almost a 360 degree, come back to better than what it was supposed to be. How funny!
This may be my most favorite wreck of all time. It's a good llama for one, and two there are Emepror's New Groove references everywhere. Seriously, one of the most underrated Disney movies for sure! Y'all made my morning!
*Insert political joke*
Como se llama?
Waaaaah!!! Llama-face!!! lol

Not only was this post itself full of awesome sauce, but the responses are the best ever! You guys are freakin hilarious. And if I had a dollar for every time my husband and I did the whole "So I put myself in a box..." routine, I'd be a rich woman. A forgotten gem, hidden in the shade of more famous movies.
I have laughed just as hard at the comments as I have the cake wreck! OMGosh!!
Thank you so much for making me laugh out loud in my office! I just introduced my 5 year old to 'The Emperor's New Groove' last week and he loved it! And I loved that he loved it! Thank you!
Emperor's New Groove FTW!
Great-great-great-great-great.......
I want this cake.
Belly laugh hilarious. I'm impressed with the thought, effort, and skill that went into that llama. In fact, that llama is so good others might want one just like it. It could become the new decorating fad. And just think of the resulting black-flecked poo swirls with eyes that you'll get to post!
Thank you for using puns from the most under appreciated Disney movie. Love. It.
Oh man!! I am still laughing about this! That is a dang good llama! And, I'm so glad you used The Emperor's New Groove - such an under appreciated movie.
Oh, bummer.
I wish I could "like" comments. You guys are hilarious! This post made my already pretty good day even BETTER! There is nothing I do not like about it!
"Yayyy, I'm a llama again! ... Wait."
Llama llama on a cake
Too well done to call mistake.
You're a very lovely llama
So much better than Obama.
Hilarious!!! It's a really good Llama too. The reader comments are cracking me up
Now that's a llama I would vote for!
" Tina, you fat lard, come get some DINNER!... Tina, eat. Food. Eat the FOOD! '
(Editor's note: now I MUST watch Napoleon Dynamite again! - the wrecksistant)
I'm soooooo glad they insisted on keeping the cake. And I hope they gave no explanation to the recipient--I think that giving llama cakes should become the next "thing".
I love the cake, but I love even more that so many people here are fans of The Emperor's New Groove. I also think it is one of Disney's best, and I don't understand why it gets overlooked. Maybe because there are no princesses to market? But llamas! So cute! And now I want a llama cake for my birthday! It's almost as if this cake were falling over the cliff of failure, but then the audience here is all, "I snatched you right out of the air!"
I love the llama! (Although with those demon eyes, it should be in AU Jared Is backyard).
Oh no, wait. That was an alpaca.
Llama, Llama, duck?
Wow, that's a really nice llama! I doubt most bakeries could do a llama that nice if asked to do it. Some may not even know what a llama is!
That wreck is so epic, it's exceeded 88 miles an hour!!
Nah, they got this cake exactly right. :-)~
I bet OllamaCare is more affordable.
Love the Llama!!! Though I feel the need to point out the misplaced apostrophe on the original Obama cake! lol
That llama is way better than that Obama anyway! I think I may request it for my next cake...
My 12 year old son looked at my computer, tilted his head and said "Well... At least they made a brown llama and not a beige one..."
Thank you Jen and John (thoj) for this epic so-great-a-fail-it's-not!
And thank you, CW community, for staying apolitical. What a great group!
THAT'S RACIST! lol
Here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little llama, fuzzy llama, funny llama, llama llama duck.
Also, I dreamed Daddy kissed a llama.
Donnie Darko Llama...
@mel:
VERY punny!! I've groan accustomed to your pace!
ROFLMAO!
Ahem,
I ordered a cake of Obama,
but it came out as a llama.
I'd ask for another,
but I'd rather not bother,
'cause it's likely to look like yo' mama.
