Genius post. Best name: Buzzankhamun. Best face: Dora the Deplorable.
OK, maybe I'm just getting used to seeing these cakes now, but the Buzz and Ariel cakes weren't that bad... Sure, Ariel's face was wrong, but the rest was pretty good!
Or, the others are just so bad that they lookedgood?
The Dora one looks like she's been crossed with Russell from Up. And a couple of Mayan glyphs for good measure.
Obviously, that's Buzz Lightyear encased in carbonite--with a watercolor wash.
Tasty.
@mel ~ I'm so very glad you came to play today. This has been a really rough week. Can we please just skip Friday this week and move right on to Saturday? That'd be just great!
JoeMama, Lilies are a symbol of death or bereavement, so a "3-lily birthday" is one where you will feel sad or grief-stricken or possibly just aggrieved for at least 3 days afterward.
You missed Mickey Mumps!
Is it my imagination or does "Dora the Deplorable" look like Pepper from "American Horror Story: Asylum?"
Absolutely brilliant! Light or Stark, Mickey Mumps. My dog thinks I'm crazy!
@Sharyn and @mel - Brilliant, as always! :D

Thank you for your reply, and your advice concerning our architects. We are very much concerned about falling water, and have discussed this with our architect. He doesn’t seem too concerned, most likely because he is having domestic problems with his wife, and while they do not seem to get along very well, and his future hangs in the balance, he says , “I just can’t a leave her. It’s not my style.” When pressed further about the falling water issue, he just walks away muttering “dam it.” I am not sure he is capable of doing the right thing.
We would be pleased to send you a concrete offer in the hopes of cementing our deal. And I can assure you, our concrete offers are never half-baked, and are hard offers.
Concerning your current litigation, we may be of some assistance. We recently settled a similar case with the German baker, Herr Mousse. Ironically, the problem involved several Herr’s in the company. We brought in our German specialist, known as Moose because of his size. In discussing the issue, Moose covered all the Herr’s thoroughly, waited until it gelled with them, and then blew away their concerns. We combed the Herr’s, looking for kinks, but the Herr’s had none and easily fell into place. After this process the Herr’s said they felt taller, fuller, and more radiant. If I may say so, we were stylin’. I’m sure resolving your case will be a piece of cake.
We will prepare our offer and send it forthwith. Actually, we’ll send it with Forth, our courier. Please let us know when he arrives, so that we know the Forth is with you.
Sincerely,
Mr. Potato, Head Counsel
Tinker, Toys and Tops
I naturally assume any entrance fees for the Bad Enough Baking School would entitle the student to not only the instructional booklet "Cake Wrecks: when professional cakes go hilariously wrong" but with a beginners Pan-Wow baking pan? ;)
Almost choked on my popcorn reading this post & Mel's reply!
@Jodee: I 'm so sorry your week has been rough. I'm sending good thoughts and hugs your way. Both are unlimited, so use as many as you need as often as you want. And here's hoping things get better quickly!
@Sandy-Brava!
Sharyn and Mel, you made my head spin (which made the cakes look normal!) so, thank you!
Dora actually looks like Dora and Sponge Bob's love child.
No, not ready for Saturday. Saturday is mostly-moving day!
Cat in the Hat looks like V For Vendetta
Lmao @mel and @Sharyn. Oh man I am dying of laughter at the posts alone. Those cakes should be illegal in all states though lol.
Hubby reading over shoulder:
of Buzzunkhamun: "Well, that's not so bad, I've seen a lot worse." (Only because I show him Wrecks frequently.)
of Dora: "That baker has... um, skills." (I agree. Some of those skills are even related to sugar!)
@Blondie's Mom: No, you are not alone, though I expected our mermaid was selling "VitaSeafoodVegamin."
"Badenov Bakeries (Makers of fine “Mousse and Swirl” cakes since 1969) "
oh so many layers to this one. Well done ;)
@Sharyn and @mel: You complete me.
Mickey was actually 7/10....the face was pretty spot on like 9/10 but the cupcakes just ruined the effect.
@milbrit: you caught me off-guard, as I wasn’t planning on posting! I’m glad you enjoyed the results, and you got a bonus: Sharyn added a comment, and that prompted another response from Mr. Potato, Head Counsel.
@ MovieMom: Glad you liked the post, but sorry about the choking thing…. (That’s why the number one rule of CW is to never read it while eating or drinking…. Many of us have learned that the hard way…..)
@SuBee: You’re welcome…I think….(but if it made the cakes look normal, well, I guess that’s a good thing….). You’re too funny…!
@Arlene: Thank you, and I hope you’re OK….I don’t think we’ve ever had anyone die of laughter here before and I don’t want you to be the first. But, I’m glad you enjoyed the post, and appreciate your comment.
@lisadh: thank you so much for your supportive comment about “performance pressure.” It’s good to know that. And, thank you for your comment to Sharyn and me later; you’re too kind.
@Sharyn: What can I say? Not only did you write a brilliant post today, you were gracious enough to play in the comments – double brilliance! I appreciate your kindness in that. I am in awe of your ability to be both consistently and continuously creative and clever and funny, whether you write the main post or play in the comments. You are a gem, and we Wreckies are so glad you’re here. Thank you for being you.
That's not Hell No Kitty, that's Hermann the Albino Hamster, wearing sunglasses.
I was showing these cakes to my 13 yr. old. He scrolled through each one and named the characters until he got to the last one. I asked: "Do you know who that is supposed to be?", he says: "It looks like Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas." I had to tell him it was "The Cat In The Hat". The sad thing is, after studying the cake for a second, I could see where he got that idea. lol
@AA Thanks for the clarification and it makes sense. I, too, would feel aggrieved for 3 days if I got that cake.
@ Mel Great to see Tinker, Toys & Tops is flourishing after their work on the Olympics. Hysterical comment as always. I'd love to take a vacation in your brain. It would probably be filled with more thrill rides than Six Flags.
I wouldn't have known what some of them are supposed to be. Are those rice checks on the "Ariel" cake?
That was the Cat in the Hat?! I thought it was zombie "Where's Waldo?" OMG!!!
@Joe Mama: Thanks for the kind comment. I don't know how those guys find work..... As for my brain...well, I'm not sure what's in there, but when I nod my head there's a rattling sound.....
Both the post and the comments are just too, too funny!
And that Cat In Hazmat is fantastic, in a horrifying 'don't ever show this to kids' kind of way.
Nope, definately the skull of Waldo. He was not found in time. And the Dora one would put me off Chicklets, if I didn't already dislike them.
The little mermaid looks like an spanic travestite.
Light or Stark is one of the most hilarious things I've ever read. EVER!
The last cake is Waldo from Where's Waldo. Unfortunately it seems all the flesh has melted off his face...
I think that last one is supposed to be Waldo. Who probably wishes he were hiding.
That cat in the hat looks like where's Waldo. Pretty sure it could be either, or both for that matter.
Looks like poor Mickey shouldn't of sat under that tree with that
Giant nest of very angry hornets in it. Also that Dora cake should be renamed " Dora la Fea" ( Ugly Dora)!
Ok this is Sharyn's most hilarious post! The comments had me cracking up outloud - somewhere where I should not be cracking up out loud...
