The REAL King Cake
August 17, 2017 Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, so I thought I'd feature some appropriate cakes. However, I realize many of our younger readers may not be familiar with The King. So listen up, whipper snappers! Picture an older, more talented, better looking, Southern Justin Bieber wearing a white, bedazzled jumpsuit.
...
Also, he may or may not be dead.
...
Maybe don't picture that part.
Right. All together now? Then let's get started!
This is Elvis:
;)
Rawr! Ffft ffft...
This...
;)
...is not Elvis. I'm thinking either Ray Liotta or Wayne Newton.
Elvis:
;)
Not Elvis:
;)
John claims this looks like Jimmy Durante. It's like I don't even know who he is anymore. (John, I mean. Jimmy I had to wiki.)
Elvis:
;)
Um...
;)
I'm going with Liza Minelli.
Elvis:
;)
Oh! Wait! I know this one!
;)
The Brawny paper towel guy!
And finally, Elvis:
;)
Annnnnd:
;)
Queen Amidala. Or maybe one of the guys from Menudo. (Thanks, John!)
No, no, I'm staying with Amidala.
Thanks to Paula H., Diana C., Connie B., and Chrissy K. who are all, collectively, nuthin' but hound dogs. And oh! The crying! ALL the TIME! Enough, already!
Ah thank you. Thankyouverramuuuch.
Update from john: The Munsters! The last one looks like the kid from The Munsters! I knew it was something with an "M" from my childhood.

Please, the last one is clearly Eddie Munster not queen Amidala.
The eyes in the first missed mark (MM) are so realistic, they're creepy. Do they stare at you as you cut the cake? Honestly, it looks like the ripped the eyes out of some doll (Talky Tina, perhaps? ) and used them on the cake.What on earth is that striped thing - his bandana?
Here's some Jimmy Durante for you young-'uns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9RchGMmizg
The second "Elvis" cake is CLEARLY Don Knotts!!
The last one looks like a male character from Mulan!
The last one looks like a Kabuki actor.
I never noticed before, but the King really IS like a better looking Bieber. Crazy.
Also, in looking for pictures of Jimmy Durante, I came across this, so you can see them both side by side for comparison.
I gotta go with Don Knotts on the second one.
The first cake is Ray Liotta with a coral snake on his chest.
Yep, I'm seeing Don Knotts in the second one, too.
The fourth one is clearly O.J. Simpson.

First one looks like christopher walken to me
Lisa Minelli! Bwaaahahahaha!
They said their cakes were high class, but that was just a lie.
The first one looks like Christopher Walken with a dye job. And it keeps looking at me...

Clearly Elvis/Jimmy Durante has been reincarnated as today's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and who knew that Elvis/Lisa Minnelli and Frank N. Furter were all the same person!
that last one is clearly Eddie Munster
The second one looks more like Don Knotts to me!
Sorry, but #3 looks like Madame (Wayland Flowers puppet) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/78/Wayland_Flowers_and_Madame.jpg.cf.jpg
Don Knotts - really? The second one is clearly Lee Van Cleef, can't you hear the ocarina wailing in the background?
#4 looks like Tom Jones to me
Talk about a passel of hound dogs.......
The one I'd really WANT to "cake" with is my old funny girl, Erma Bombeck...a humor writer from a bygone time...(That could maybe be her up there, impersonating Liza Vermicelli.)
Erma probably would have loved these!!!! Just not to eat.
=^-.-^=
The second-to-last one is *clearly* Commander Riker from Star Trek: TNG. Before he grew the beard.
The last one is *so* Jerry Lewis!
The 1st one looks like John Travolta to me!
OMG! These cakes look like all the people mentioned in the comments ESPECIALLY "Madame" ! Got it in one! 😂😂😂😂😂
Are those doughnuts or squashed paper towel rolls above Brawny Elvis?
That striped thing in the first one isn't a bandana, juice. How in the world did Elvis get my kid's missing sock. Oh God, don't tell my kids that Elvis is haunting our dryer. I'll never get them to help with laundry.
I really hope those aren't sliced oranges (with the peel on?) covered in chocolate, in #4...
I cannot stop laughing. It's like the wreckerators never saw a picture of Elvis. Or if they had they erased it from their memory and decided to do whatever the heck it is they did to make these look so oddly horrifying and hilarious at the same time lol.
Everybody seems to see someone different in that second Wreck. Personally, it's serving me some Joe Strummer Realness.
Cheers,
Storm
Definitely Don Knotts, but I couldn't think of his name until I came to read the comments, so I was going to say Barney Fife. Or Mr. Limpet.
A whole post of Elvis wrecks and what do I end up getting sick in my head?
Sally (from The Dick Van Dyke Show) singing "I Want to Sing Like Durante."
Cake #1: Walken in Memphis
Why does the "Eddie Munster" Elvis have a shoulder growing out of his face?
