Bad Giraffe! BAAAAD!
May 18, 2017 When your last name is Hammer, there's really just one way to nail a baby shower cake.
And that way...
...is NOT LIKE THIS.
;)
Aw, crap.
Still, at least everyone can get a chuckle over sh*tty "hamer"s. Imagine being the only one at a baby shower to see something wrong with this cake topper - which, incidentally, ALSO involves nailing things:
;)
o.0
Er, look, I realize my mind's in the gutter often enough to sprout legs and start scurrying, but seriously... HOW DID THE BAKER NOT SEE THIS?
Ahem.
Quick palate cleanser: look how pretty!

Aaaand back to reality:

Oh, BABY.
Almost makes you long for the days of hammer logs and randy giraffes, eh?
Thanks to Elizabeth H., Emily S., & Robin D. for the capital wreckage.

Re: the second cake.
If the parents to be are proud of their girafelphant and want to commemorate its creation why must you question their choices?
Hammer turds and horny giraffe.... who knew these could be sooooo funny?
It's... conceivable this was intentional. It's somewhat more accurate than putting a stork with a bundle up there.
If the giraffe had been with an zebra, it did happen.
At the Wild Animal Park in San Diego county, one of the male giraffes lost part of his tail because a zebra stallion took offense. To be sure, the giraffe had only known his own kind before coming to the park. When I was last there many years ago, he was the most prolific male that they had.
Third one's a Sunday sweet. Did you get some pictures mixed up?
[Editor's note- I must be tired. We now have two of these comments and I honestly can't tell if they're supposed to be jokes. I have to believe that if you've read Cake Wrecks for more than a week, you must understand what a missed mark is, right? How we put the good cake first and then the resulting bad cake? But every time we post these lately, we get these comments about how the requested cakes aren't bad. That's the point. They're not supposed to be bad! So. If you're trolling me, bravo. Your wit is as dry as the desert. If not, then I don't understand. Either way, I'm going back to bed. -john (the confused)]
The giraffe/elephant combo reminds me of the Modern Family ep where Mitch and Cam went to donate the gigantic stuffed toys they'd received for Lily to some charity. They had lashed the toys onto the roof of the car but it was difficult to get out of the parking space and the toys, er, rocked back and forth rhythmically.
Zeenia- that's funny! But the implication that the mom is an elephant is insulting in its own right. Oy!
Such a sweet couple - such a pretty cake. I don't understand why you think it is a wreck. My question is, who will the baby look like??? elaffe, girphant?
The last cake - is Raby the singular form of rabies? Cause that wreck is making me ill.
The elephant and giraffe is well done, apart form the unfortunate topper I wouldn't mind paying for that.
At least he elephant is not on top :)
As a teacher with TWO WEEKS left of school, my new go-to line is "aaaand back to reality"! (as in, Mrs. A, how can I get a passing grade?, Mrs. A, can I make up those assignments from last semester? Mrs. A, I want to do my class presentation now, the one I was supposed to do 4 weeks ago?)....
I appreciated (SO MUCH) the palate cleanser... elephants and giraffes...oh no
the last cake reminds me of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONIJXHvoynw
So.... Giralephant? Elephaffe??
What does it say about me that the first thing I saw on cake #1 was not turd hammers but floppy pink wangs?
Well, the baker for the first one was clearly, uh, hammered.
All I could think of with the first cake was a rather memorable line from Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog... and I wonder if the guy makes that joke.
John (thoJ), I get it.
Well that was one way to make my husband walk out of the room quick. He took one look at the randy giraffe and went nope don't want to know and went in the kitchen lol. At least he didn't drop a Mtn. Dew this time. I am still laughing.
Cake Wrecks has ruined me for life!
Today was the first day I had made and piped chocolate buttercream since regularly reading your hilarious blog. My first thought was don't let it look like the chocolate poop I keep seeing on Cake Wrecks.
Cake two is actually quite well done and pleasantly understated except for the unfortunate topper. Surely no baker would actually think of putting them in that pose. At first I thought a naughty guest had tampered with the cake but then looking closer it still appears to be in some kind of kitchen so the baker must have put them like that. My mind is boggling!
Regarding the 2nd cake, I COULD make a political joke and say,
"Glad it was a giraffe and not a donkey!"
But...I won't do that.
Instead, I will just comment on the last cake. It looks a bit...uh...frilly.
Hi!
My cake is the "palate cleanser", can you please credit my business? Sweet On You http://sweetonyoucakes.ca
Thanks! I love Cake Wrecks!
Ok, I saw the 'hammers' and the 'after-school what?' but I have to know, why is that last cake bleeding?
What do you get when you cross a giraffe with an elephant?
I don't know, but between the length of its neck and its nose, it WON'T HAVE TO TURN THIS CAR AROUND, it will SPANK YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU SIT!
Hee hee...mental picture of an elephraffe driving a car...
Wow, the last cake was trying to win some kind of wreck award, clearly. That's... painfully bad! The cake is pretty much trying to self-destruct out of mercy even!
Meanwhile, I have no idea what is up with the first cake, but that's ok. You don't need to understand what the cake is for to admire poo-wang--misspelled-hammers.
I love the Giraffe cake - I assume it's an in joke. i have friends where the hubby is 6.5, skinny as a rake and the wife is ... not... this is the joke that they would make. It may seem a wreck to the judgement of the net, but seems to me to be something that those involved might get.
