NOBODY SAY "SPERM"

Sometimes bakers like to stretch themselves by making unusual object cakes. You know, stuff you don't usually see made into cake. Everyday things. Mundane things.
Stupid things.
Like this tiny broom.
And bikini bottoms:
JUST the bikini bottoms.
(Part of me wants to believe this is a Spongebob cake gone wrong.)
And this... tree?
Because when I think "festive party food," my first thought is, "I dunno, maybe a tree?"
Some conjoined pencils:
It's like those snap-and-share Popsicles, only ugly and harder to eat.
When I turn 44 I hope someone gets me a confusing baby shower cake:
Complete with lil' poo pile.
(It's a key. How do I know? YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.)
(Also Julie told me.)
And finally, there's this tall drink of water:
Which would be really boring if it weren't for the... captured tadpole.
(Yes, we're calling it a tadpole.)
Ahem.
Sooo, yeah. Way to stretch yourselves, bakers!
NOW STOP IT.
Thanks to Megan J., Heather F., K.B., Kathy B., Julie, & Leslie, who claims that "tadpole" rings a bell. [head tilt] Nope, I don't see it.

I believe the last photo is a cakey diagram of a Na'vi female's reproductive system. I saw Avatar one and a half times so I know these things.
"Lil poo pile" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think that last one is upside-down. I bet it's Liberty Bell.
:)
That's a BROOM? How can you tell? I currently own two brooms, and have owned/used many others before and none of them looked like THAT. Even the "traditional" straw broom.
I truly thought it was a sleeveless hula dress at first.
Turn the last one over. It's obviously the Liberty Bell!
Top one, Dalek in a skirt, obvs. Last one, menstrual cup. With tadpole. Because tadpoles.
Well....the fourth one ("pencils") had the number 2 right.
=^-.-^= And I wouldn't dream of saying that word you said...(neither would Mr Eps.)
But what is the conjoined pencil one really? My brain just can't make it be anything at all! It's driving me crazy!
I adore that you noted that conjoined pencils were harder to eat. Not impossible, or even inadvisable. Just more of a challenge.
That's not a baby shower cake, that's an embryo shower cake:

You're welcome.
Drugs are bad, mm'kay bakers?
Pretty sure that last one is a diva cup.Why the tadpole? I have no idea.
OK, apparently I have been reading too many sex toy review blogs because that... "tree" looks exactly like a buttplug to me. Like wow, that's a buttplug.
Also, I think "Liberty Bell" might be this year's Epcot.
I see a whisk broom.
*Because when I think "festive party food," my first thought is, "I dunno, maybe a tree?"*
Only for Arbor Day.
Yeah, I saw the key: why is this poor guy only getting a key on his 44th birthday, don't most boys get their first keys at about 16 (recently raised in IND. to 16.5 in the vain hopes of reducing accidents)?
the poo pile in cake #5 is probably supposed to be an eye - at least the front looks like it's supposed to be the head of whatever that is.
I think the first one is supposed to represent a shaving brush, but that's a kind of small broom, yes?
@Shkuz -- that really IS two pencils. They['re conjoined, I presume, because it's easier to ice a bunch of cupcakes in a big slab than two long thinner ones.
The first one looks like Admiral Ackbar in a dress. (Must have been some party!)
I instinctively know what 99% of these cake are before reading your posts because I am an elementrary school art teacher:) The similarities are uncanny.
That tall drink of water is a bell, I think.
that first one...are you sure it's not *ahem* a um...shuttle...cock? that *may* have been my first thought on seeing it...my mind guttered it completely. :D
Hah! Y'all beat me to it with the liberty bell comments:-p
I thought the key one was a tardigrade.
It's official, I've been reading Cake Wrecks too long (long enough?). I knew exactly what every single one of these was supposed to be without blinking an eye. I don't know whether to be proud or cry a little. ;)
I think the number 2 uh pencils look like they are going number two lmao. I have a birthday coming up soon and now I am afriad one of these wrecks is coming for me lol. So now I won't get cake I will order a pie instead hehe.
Is it just me or do the first two look like Daleks?...
I thought the first one was a piece of toast flying around. Rocket Toast!
OMG, Angie, THANK YOUR for saying it before me, because that is *NOT* a tree. That is *DEFINITELY a buttplug.
The water glass(+tadpole) is actually the liberty bell upside down. . . Which kinda makes it worse
Great vision, Betrayer. It is Rocket Toast to me as well!
Last one's obviously a sperm whale!
first one is upside down chanterelle mushroom?
I could tell the next to last cake is a key, but that last one doesn't look like a bell...even if you turn it upside down. :)
