Our Childhoods, Cake Wrecked
January 5, 2017 I'll admit it, the fastest route to my wallet is straight through Nostalgia Land.
Yep, I will gleefully buy just about anything with the Stay Puft Marshmallow man on it, or Little Twin Stars, or baby Donald Duck. I'm also a sucker for Muppets and 90s cartoons.
But I gotta say, bakers, if you're going to prey on our devotion to childhood characters, it helps if we can at least RECOGNIZE them.
You know, like this:

And like this:

Not this:

Something kind of like this?

...but not at all like this:

And finally, just as a reminder, Curious George is a playful little monkey:

...not the traumatized pig-man who will be haunting our dreams tonight:

Thanks to Dan B., Trish F., Leighanne M., & Ashley K. for bringing to mind that age old question: why DOES pig-man have a shiny black horn on his head?

That last one looks like a melted leprechaun.
My, Minnie, what big ears you have!
That last one looks like Woody and Hammy from Toy Story had a love child
Curious George isn't really that bad, nose is just a little big is all.
I'm curious: why does one make the decision not to include SpongeBob's pants when it's in his freaking NAME?
But they did remember to include his SpongeBob's shoes. Although why they did, I have no idea.
In the very first Curious George cake (not the pig-man cake) is it just me, or are George's thumbs on the wrong sides of his hands?
I think the horn is supposed to be his little tuft of hair that sticks up....
@Annette: I was JUST about to note the porcine lean on "Woody", myself! Twisted minds must warp alike!
=^~.-^=
Curious George is not a monkey. He's an ape. Not that this would have helped the baker, but...
Gah pig-man curious george! Make it go away!
Curious George reminds me of the pig-nosed people in that really old Twilight Zone episode. :::shudder:::
The first cake reminds me of Lupin of Breaking Cat News. He is a white cat who loves curling up in a sink. It is a standard joke of the comic about how he disappears.
Curious George's hands in the good cake are just right, try lifting your hat from underneath with your thumbs turned out.
Hello Kitty looks less like a cake and more like a pie...
Looks like Hello Kitty melted in shame or just plain horror at what wreckerators were doing. And I never want to see that pig man thing again lol. Scary.
Hey, look, it's SpongeBob's long lost cousin, CakeFreddy Nopants
Hello Kitty is melting! Meeeelllltttiiiinnnngggg! Oh what a world!
The black lipstick! Why? Why? WHY?
“Spongebob” looks like Fred Flintstone reincarnated as a block of parmesan cheese.
That last one makes me think of Glowtard... Or whatever that YouTube cretin's name is...
The Curious George cake will haunt my dreams. And to make things worse, the yellow hat looks like a penis... WTF
I think Minnie and Spongebob are on drugs again. I'VE TOLD YOU TWO A MILLION TIMES TO QUIT METH!!!
