10 Bakers Who Would Really Suck At Pictionary
March 12, 2014 Ready, Set, DRAW!
1. Steak:
;)
I guess "T-Bone" doesn't like his steak well done.
(HEYO!)
2. Guitar:
;)
Strings are for sissies.
3. Truck Tire:
;)
Yes, really.
4. The Eiffel Tower:
;)
Try as I might, all I can see is the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story. Just me?
5. Basketball:
;)
*sigh*
6. Flip-Flops:
;)
Made from only the freshest diseased lungs.
7. Alligator:
;)
Post-digestion.
8. Fire:
;)
"Fire" going down in flames. The irony, it burns.
9. Airplane
;)
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious... and don't call me 'Shirley.'"
10. Elvis:
;)
...left the building a long, LONG time ago. This looks more like David Bowie wearing a skunk.
Thanks to Teresa, Anne D., Mattia M., Julia B., Sherri C., Katelyn C., Rachel, Emily D., Jen M., & Heather R. for drawing all the wrong conclusions.
Editor's note- Some of you have told me that you're having trouble seeing the pictures today. If that's you, would you send me an email to let me know? Thanks so much and Wreck On! -john (the hubby of Jen) (comments(at)cakewrecks.com)

Maybe he's the Wicked Alligator of the West and someone threw water on him?
BTW, I speak Jive. ;)
A Big Hunk O Skunk
Are You Lonesome Cake Tonight?
Alien House Rock
I can actually see the alligator. The rest? Not so much.
And the David Bowie wearing a skunk comment cracked me up - I needed that :)
Thanks for the laughs-much needed. This is why I sucked at pictionary
Oh, my goodness. I thought that "airplane" was a really strange tennis shoe! My bad!
Thank you for telling me what these were supposed to be. I would have wasted a whole day at work trying to figure them out.
Sung to "If I Had a Million Seconds"
If I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
I would draw you a steak
A pink intestinal T-Bone steak
And if I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
I'd draw some strings for your guitar
Trust me, Freud says you're not a sissy
And if I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
I'd draw you three more tires
A fishnet tower and a hairless mole
And if I had a million seconds, I'd draw you lungs
If I had a million seconds
I'd draw you a pre-digested alligator
If I had a million seconds I'd draw some flames
That didn't burn
If I had a million seconds
I'd draw a tail fin on that plane
If I had a million seconds
Shirley it wouldn't be so lame
And if I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
I'd draw Bowie wearing a skunk hat
But not a real skunk hat, that's cruel.
If I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
If I had a million seconds
Then we'd win!
Please! #4 is really Eiff Tower Squarepants. And, wow! $30 for that last "Work-o-Art". What a bargoooon!
(and EVERYBODY calls me Shirley)
So the "guitar" doesn't really look like a guitar to me. I can't say what it looks like because this site is generally family friendly. Let's just say it doesn't look like drugs or rock and roll.
So was that just me? Ok, Carry on.
Frah-gee-lay! It must be Italian!
And that airplane looks more like a submarine to me.
I guess I need to wake up a bit...#9 looks more like a shoe (think smelly tennis shoe) than an airplane. Unless I tilt my head to the left. Then maybe?
The alligator has been turned into a newt and it hasn't got better yet!
In #9, I swear that it looks more like the starship enterprise from the side then an airplane... but maybe that's just me. Also #10 could pass for Mike Score from Flock of Seagulls, he did have that crazy hair you know!
Maria...not just you. I also saw not-drugs and rock and roll, and it gave me the embarrassed giggles.
I'm glad you're here to explain this to us!
Otherwise I'd spend the day with held tilted, squinting and puzzling.
Wait, the first one is not poorly inserted IUD?
I thought the airplane was a sock and the flames were bananas. But the real stumper is the basketball. HOW THE HECK IS THAT THING SUPPOSED TO BE A BASKETBALL???
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the airplane was a tennis shoe.
Pictionary Jr. is a little more my speed.
Alyssa, now that you mention it it does look like the Warp Engine from the Starship Reliant.
Cake 1: The latest in fashionable food: mashed potatoes, white asparagus and a white steak, all on a black plate.
Cake 2: And it comes with free lessons, Mason, really. No strings attached.
Cake 3: I never tire of these wrecks.
Cake 4: I see London, I see France, I see this cake’s underpants.
Cake 5: Hoop, hoop, hurray! Nice try. Almost made it into the hole…but turned out to be a rim job, instead.
Cake 6: Splish splash, I was takin’ a bath, along about Saturday night. Rub a dub, got outta the tub and my left foot was bigger than my right.
Cake 7: Trying to look scary, and not wanting to end up as a fashion accessory, the alligator looked the hunters straight in the eyes and pursed his lips….
Cake 8: Jordan asked for banana cake for his birthday….
Cake 9: Literally leaving on a wing…and a prayer. (Or,
“Did that airplane hit you?” “No, it just winged me.”)
Cake 10: More pompadour….
So, at first I thought #2 was a baby rattle, then I saw the musical notes. #5 is from someone who was obviously told to keep their eye on the ball... #7 is the not-so-endangered West Florida Highway Roadkill Gator, althought the accident left him much less of a tail-gator... #8: I hope Jordan likes bananas? #10 reminded me of the Veggie Tales story when the characters were wearing boots on their heads. Although when I first read it, I though you meant David Byrne, not Bowie! Byrne would be more likely to wear a shoe hat, I think.
#5: Hah! The photo credit reads: "pumpkinorbasketball.jpg?") So even THEY didn't know what to call that thing.
#8: Not flames. Bananas...under pressure. So much pressure that they caved in.
#9: @SaraV~I see a sub, too: the Beatles' Yellow Submarine.
#10: I see neither Bowie nor Elvis. I see a miniature killer whale balancing on the top of Sulu's head.
=^e.e^=
P.S. to Mr.Wizard of Wecks: Do you have anything in your little black bag for me? I CAN see the pictures.
To me, that "airplane" looks like a giant foot coming down (squish!), as in Monty Python. If only...
@SaraV, I also thought it was a submarine.
The Elvis cake . . . no idea what I thought that was. Kif from Futurama being attacked by a shark, would be my best guess. And at $29.99 what a bargain it is.
#10 - The Thin, White Puke
#9 : I saw a submarine too. And really, bakers should stop trying to design anything with cupcakes. That's a recipe for disaster.
I really thought #9 was a halfway decent submarine.
I'm so glad you told us what those were supposed to be because I never would have gotten those right.
As for the "guitar" cake, I'm just impressed they had the flags on the music notes going the right direction (Music nerd alert!), but the guitar is just a disaster. Wow.
Cyclops Jack-o-Lantern looks VERY serious about life.
@Alyssa: In honor of your comment (re #10), I present this mini-filk...
I went to get a cake for you.
I told them you thought Elvis was so cool;
Elvis was so cool.
But what they showed me was a mess;
It looked like Butthead with a skunk headdress;
With a skunk headdress...
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran both night and day
I couldn't get away.
I have to say, the flip-flops are definitely the least bad of these horrible artistic attempts. Followed by the alligator. The rest? Just... no.
That "truck tire" is staring at me... make it stahp!
I'm with everyone else who thought #9 was a tennis shoe. If I was booked on a plane like that, I'd leave instructions for forwarding my luggage and start walking.
And that Eiffel Tower: Oh, sure. Let's try to replicate something made entirely of long, skinny bars with round things. Um, no.
I'll have to look more closely the next time I pass an 18-wheeler. I didn't realize that their tires are now full of eyeballs.
Most of these wreckorators didn't even stop to look at a picture of what they were trying to render in (mostly) 2D. If they had, I bet it wouldn't have helped at all. Because Wreckerator Power is invincible! (Or, as they would say it, imvecelble.)
@Sharyn ~ I'm not buying you a real fur coat. That's cruel!
I am SO glad I'm not the only one who saw David Bowie...
#3 is a Dalek, viewed from above. Right? Right??
The guitar looks to me like a skeleton arm wearing a boxing glove...
#1 I was wondering where that IUD went.
@Earl ~ #5 just about killed me! My boss is going to start charging me for the keyboards I keep ruining o.O
I thought the alligator wasn't too bad - not that I'd want to eat all that icing.
At first glance I thought the "basketball" cake was a petri dish (the plastic covering helped), and I was sure the "airplane" was a Converse runner (or "sneakers", as Americans call them).
@wildmaven: Now that you mention it...RUN!!!!!
I, too, saw a shoe for number 9... and the guitar in number 2 could also pass as a spotted turkey leg.
I think I'd be even worse at Pictionary than these bakers are. Weirdly I thought Dalek when I saw the truck tire cake.
No time to comment on all today. I swear the 2nd-to-last one was a running shoe. I was shocked when I looked at the caption and saw it was supposed to be a plane! The last one looked sorta like a New England Patriot to me. (No offense to any fans! It was just the impression I got.) The basketball was really bad. Reminded me of an orange martini olive.
The surrealist fashion designer Schiaparelli made a hat in the 30s that looked like an upside down shoe. I never knew that Elvis based his hairstyle on that.
@Starknight - That is AWESOME!!! I will now be singing those alternate lyrics when I hear I Ran from now on!
Am I the only one who thought that last one was a really bad Loki-impersonation? Because it looked like someone tried to recreate Loki and failed miserably.
That Mason plays a mean electric turkey leg!
Couldn't figure most of those. But the alligator is kidney d of cute....
