I Can See Clearly Now... And... EW
July 23, 2015 I don't remember my 2012 slang very well - was this an actual thing people said?
;)
"You're eggs is prego."
There are so many things wrong with that sentence, my brain just imploded.
Still, at least it was a "closed belly" shower.
What does that mean?
Aw, I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED.
BEHOLD!!
;)
The "Peek-A-Boo, I Eat You" Appetite-Suppress-Inator!
(Have I been watching too much Phineas and Ferb this week? Yes, yes I have.)
Now, that's pretty good, but you must admit: the baby-embedded-in-clear-gelatin is kind of hard to see.
So for maximum Inator effectiveness, we're gonna need to open that baby belly up.
;)
Haha!
Better, better...
...but is it possible to make the whole thing shinier?
You know, in a more seeping, moist, and gelatinous kind of way?
;)
YES!
Just think, with these Appetite-Suppress-Inators, soon, Cake Wrecks will RULE the ENTIRE TRI-STATE AREA! Mwuah-ha-haaaa!
Thanks to Rish, Rachel G., Karen Q., & Diana M., who'd all look adorable in brown fedoras, I just know it.

I suddenly have the weirdest urge to watch Rosemarry's Baby.
I agree with all of the posts. WHY are these cakes shiny???!!!! Who is ordering or eating these things?!! Who thinks to themselves, "it would be so cool to have a cake with a see-through belly that shows a fetus for my baby shower"? Who, I ask you!!!? How sad is it that the "preggo eggo" cake is the best one out of the bunch?
It boggles the mind! Thanks, cakewrecks. Those shiny abdomens with tiny floating fetuses have scarred me for life!
This makes the cake that my hubby's grad students made for us when they found out we were expecting look rame! It was a pink and white sheet cake with "Woot! Spawn!" written on it in pink M&M's.... I am now thanking my lucky stars that it was not a shiny see-thru prego belly with a plastic baby imbedded in it!!!
I'd be terrified to cut into that last one, for fear that everything would come splooshing out.
@Nerfbomb and @sue - so (unfortunately) true: these wrecks ARE relatively (in a 5th-cousin-twice-removed kind of relative) tasteful compared to other more graphic wrecks... and how sad is it that I thought, "Well, at least they weren't CCC baby mama wrecks!"
There's no such thing as too much Phineas and Ferb.
Why does that baby have so much hair? And notice how they are all face down? They don't even want to partake in this nonsense.
Jen,
I have decided that if we lived in the same city, we'd be the best of friends. A woman who quotes Phineas and Ferb, The Emperors New Groove, Doctor Who and Firefly is a woman after my own heart. Thanks for being my long-distance Geek Sister.
Oh well there went my chances for sleep tonight lol. I still can't believe these things show up at baby showers. Who on earth wants to eat them? I am afraid to go near one let alone try and eat it lol.
I have what was once thought to be a fairly irrational fear of eating wobbly textured foods - now I feel that actually I was quite rational all along!
So much fondant. So much shiny, shiny, inch-thick fondant. My teeth are tingling just looking at them.
Urgh.
It was just a matter of time before we had a day of penis cakes followed by a day of pregnant watermelon cakes.
Now we just need tomorrow to be a post full of slimy newborn gorilla-hybrid things to round out the set!
@ Heather A: So... they're gonna need a BIGGER BABY!!!
When I was a child, I was mildly traumatised by my grandmother's festive dinner speciality: carrots on clear gelatin.
These jelly-bellies trump that memory of Most Traumatic Thing Ever Placed in Gelatin.
(BTW the "Prego" pun doesn't work outside of the US. I've seen so many eggo-is-Prego pregnancy announcements and gone "Huh? what's the deal with the pasta sauce jar? And what does that have to do with being up the duff?")
Why oh why did I have to read this while eating breakfast?? My appetite just went out the window....
@Nerfbomb I concur. Regulate the tar out of those offensive pans. I read the comments to the tutorial and wanted to reach into my computer and grab each person complimenting them by the throat! But this brings an even bigger question....Who on earth thought adding nipples was a good idea???? Obviously they aren't on the sports balls.... o_O
Is it wrong of me to want the little babies in the gelatin to have a Mohawk and be riding a carrot as they wave a tiny fist?
My first thought on seeing the first one was "Hey, they spelled Congratulations correct!" followed very quickly with "You're what? (facepalm)"
What the heck were these bakers thinking...oh wait, they weren't! Just hideous! Maybe some wacky tobaccy was involved with the decorators??
Poor baby Minnie, she is so ashamed! Disney should sue! LOL
@ Miss Paper After (re)watching "Monsters, Inc" last night, I think what we really need is a "Pregnant-Belly Cake Detection Agency". When a pregnant-belly cake is spotted one will simply call in a "code 2319", and a team of haz-mat suited PBCDA agents will swarm in, bolt a containment dome over the offending cake, and promptly incinerate it. Yes, that would be ideal!
As for that tutorial, I had the same urge! It started as soon as I saw "The belly cake is a baby shower staple" in the introduction. Then I noticed the cake's snail-shell-esque belly button & gave up trying to comprehend it at all.
I LURV your P&F references.
It's "your eggo is preggo". You can tell that's what it says, the O in "eggo" is just a little smushed. It's a pretty popular saying around here.
No such thing as too much Phineas & Ferb. As a matter of fact, MAKE MORE REFERENCES TO THAT SHOW AND OTHER DISNEY THINGS!!! YAH!!!
Leggo my Preggo Eggo?
@ Nagzilla
Oh. . . Dear. . . God!
