October 23, 2015 Some of my favorite submissions this week:
Did any of you celebrate Bosses Day last week?
How about Boner Day?
;)
[insert obligatory 'head of the company' joke here]
Granted, some of us celebrate Boner Day every day, AMIRITE?
HEYOOOOOOOOoh stop looking at me like that, John.
It's been one year since Kate's heart surgery, so her family got a cake to celebrate.
The good news?
The baker really nailed, "Heartaversary."
The bad?
Now Kate knows how her family really feels.
;)
To be fair, I love cake more than I love people, too.
I mean, think about it:
People taste terrible.
The bakery claimed these were ghosts:
;)
So bakers, I'm going to claim this tissue is a twenty dollar bill.
We good?
Now, don't worry, my dear wreckies; this is NOT a baby butt cake.
(Phew!)
;)
It's a baby contortionist wearing a Space Balls helmet.
(Admit it: you just tried to visualize that. MY MIND-CONTROL POWERS ARE GROWING!
Mua-ha-haaaa!!)
(Now bring me a whoopie pie!)
And finally, while I still say anyone who orders a headless "Mom" body for a baby shower cake deserves all the lumpy cake boobage they get, I GUESS I can see where Angel MIGHT be upset on this one.
She asked for this in pink:
;)
DIBS ON THE BELLY BUTTON
And got this:
;)
Take a moment. Soak it alllll in.
It was hard to narrow down, but I think my favorite favorite part is the baby rattle pasties. They just scream "sexyAAAAAUUUGGHH!!" you know?
Thanks to Cori D., Anna E., Jessica P., Anony M., & Angel A. for reminding us that eating people is still a bad idea, so stop it, all of you.

For some reason, the rattle breasted baby mama reminds me of Mickey Mouse.
Thanks for the giggles and guffaws Jen!
Man, that last one just gets funnier the more I look at it. Thank goodness I banned my family from buying a cake like this for my recent shower. Actually, I should thank you for that, Jen. I used a few of your posts to convince them it was a bad idea.
Thank you!!
I know people who celebrate Boner Day everyday, too!
Ok, now for the elephant in the room....I am NOT a fan of the headless mommy cakes, but feel that what was requested (minus the belly button) was really kind of cute. The monstrosity presented was less than stellar. My main problem is it looks as if the baker poked the cake with a finger....baby rattle bra aside....
The error in the second cake might be the fate of every one of us named Kate. Instead of a "Goodbye, Kate!" cake, I once received a "Goodbye, Cake!" cake. I really didn't like my high-strung perfectionist boss, so seeing her seething over the mistake made it even better.
That last one looks REALLY painful; the kid's coming out sideways!
My daughter can actually DO the contortionist stuff... It's crazy...
The last cake reminds me of Mikey Mouse, too. The whole thing is a disaster. Disconnected body parts, with a baby growing on Mommy's hip. The only part a cake decorator could be proud of is that handwriting.
Is that a FOOT on the right side of that last cake? How the devil did it get over there? I've often wondered if these bakers have ever seen - or been - a pregnant woman. Yeesh.
Apparently the last cake is carrying the baby in it's kidney...
How can the baker of the last cake look at that piece of....work and say nailed it? O_o
Last cake: I can't make out the last word..?
And has the "mother" developed a third breast? Or has one of them migrated away from the pasties?
"I'm going to claim this tissue is a twenty dollar bill." Jen, you're the best. Thanks for this morning laugh.
As for the last cake, I wouldn't like to be the doctor who would have to tell the lady that she's not pregnant, but has a huge umbilical hernia, plus a suspicious tumor on the side.
My abs hurt from laughing at that last one ... One of those days I am SO glad I work from home. If I worked in an office, the guy in the next cubicle over would be seriously concerned about my sanity.
At least boner boy and contortionist baby like orange. As for that last monstrosity, forget baby-rattle-bra, why does she have a freaking MOAT around each of her boobages!?!? This wreckerator has obviously never seen a naked woman before; let alone a pregnant one, although this cake does give new meaning to the phrase "bun in the oven." All that's missing on that tummy are the sesame seeds.
"Eating people is still a bad idea." Not according to MY husband...
My favorite part is how the baby foot isn't even inside of the baby bump.
Oh, no, Dina, the guy (or gal) in the next cubical would soon be as hooked on Cake Wrecks as you.
Dear parents: please stop trying to make "Jaxon" or "Jaxen" a thing. It's "Jackson."
I think Boner Day could really catch on.
I keep staring at the baby feet. How...? Umm.... I dunno. My eyes hurt. Who think these baby butt cakes are cute? *hurk*
@Will - I believe it's Jaxxynne.
That second cake is very well done, with the obvious exception of "cake" in place of "Kate". Those buttercream dots remind me of the disc melt candies often served at showers, teas, and receptions.
Every now and again, we see penmanship that is so pretty and ornate that it is illegible. That happened in the last one. I cannot figure out what the inscription says.
@SuBee You forgot the silent capital Q between the two ns.
That "baby" foot on the last cake looks like a monkey foot to me. Is that woman about to give birth to a baby monkey? That would be cute!
HA! SuBee you kill me!!!
Why does the bump on the last cake look like a cymbal from a drum set? Or a bell from a wrestling match? Or a golden fire alarm bell?
So, either she has a weirdly small baby bump just in the center of her belly (with the kid growing outside of it, for some reason) or she has an abnormally large belly button - either way, I think she needs to make an app't with her OB/GYN stat!
The worst cake wreck I ever saw in the wild was a Headless Baby Bump monstrosity.
Some woman was walking by in the parking lot of a local shopping center and seeing me with several kids figured she'd try to sell me on having her make cakes for their birthday parties.
The horror show she used as her sales pitch was awful. How do I express the revulsion I experienced? I immediately noticed badly-applied hot pink fondant, that had been given an orange-peel texture. The overall effect was of a pregnant woman suffering from a combination of dangerous swelling, and major cellulite. I wish that I had brought a camera with me, but sadly, all I have is the image seared into my brain.
I politely took a card, but inwardly thanked my lucky stars my aunt taught me basic cake decorating, and that my kids think a cake decorated by mom (no matter HOW average) is the Best Thing Ever.
I don't think that last baker has ever seen a human. Or, for that matter, a pregnant mammal.
SuBee: I stand corrected.
I think they may be on to something with cake #4. I think it is TWINS! Each one is lying on his/her side. Unfortunately, they could only fit one name - Jaxon -- poor Jaxoff will have to learn karate to defend him/her-self for the rest of his/her life.
I also thought when I saw the last cake - why does this women have a boxing ring bell for a stomach? And when I was told you can carry your baby on your hip - I didn't realize they meant before it was born!
Diggin' the Madonna bra baby shower cake!
The Kate is a lie!
There are so many great things to choose from that last cake, but I'd have to say the little cupcake boobies are my favorite.
Just one thing...are her boobs made of cupcakes? Are they? 'Cause it's just giving me a whole Katie-Perry-in-California-Girls-but-Pregnant vibe, and that scares the poo out of me.
Oh man. I just about died seeing that bizarre torso/cupcake breasted cake lmao. At least that is what I think they look like. Scary and not even halloween yet.
I was on the baby tummy cakes and my four year old popped her head up by my screen:
"Mama, what is that?" <puzzled face>
"A cake."
<dubious face> Um, okay.
What a shame that the balloons on the first cake actually look like balloons!
On the last cake... does she have a ribbon bow sewed to her neck??
@Q - LOL
#4 - "Misery: The Next Generation"
Navel areola. SMH
You should consult a physician for any erection lasting more than 4 hours, but especially if it lasts a whole day.
Of the many things wrong with the last cake - the cake assembler had to go *out of their way* to make that odd baby bump. Original cake tummy: one big round cake which cannot be hard as Google assures me mixing bowls can be cake pans. Wreck: one flat cake, one flattish bump cake - unless that bump is just frosting, in which case - ewww.
Happy Boner Day cake?
swimming "ghosts" cakes?
baby shower cake?
Thanks for giving me the cakes I need to have The Talk with my kids!
I'm pretty sure that the real baby Jaxon couldn't assume that position without being on the wrong end of some heavy-duty disarticulation.
