Like A Bridge Over Troubled Icing
January 5, 2018 [A group of Wreckerators, some in frosting-smeared aprons, walk on stage and begin to sing...]
When they're leery
;)
Feeling small...
;)
When tears are in...
;)
... their eyes,
Why not buy them all?
;)
All on one side...
;)
Ohhhhh

[joining hands]
When friends just caaan't beee found!
;)
[soprano solo]
I assure you, that's "Harry Potter!"

[chorus]
Why not pay me now?
I've a fridge full of stubbled otter:

[3-part harmony]
Why not pay me now?

"Fridge full of stubbled otter" ??? You guys are amazing and I don't know how you do it.
The second set of cupcakes look as if they came from he salad bar - complete sliced eggs for eyes.
I love your site, visit it every day. Today's post was especially brilliant (and that's saying something!) Thanks.
If you're in the market for a roadkill cake, that last one's actually not that bad...
but why on earth would anyone be in the market for a roadkill cake?!?!
WHAT in heck is that last cake? It looks like a rug? No,, it looks like dirt.
Sort of.
Awwww, wonderful! *sniff*...(a fake tear or two, for atmosphere..).
Now I will have that song stuck in my head like it was when I first got the LP...
The song was the icing OFF those wrecks.
=^-.-^=
Great song! But I absolutely LOVE that roadkill cake. Beautifully made and it even looks delicious. Strangely so.
I was wondering what you were going to rhyme with Harry Potter. Oh me, of little faith.
I mean, that last one is the monster book from Harry potter right?...oh wait, I just scrolled back up and discerned the roadkill. *sigh*
Stubbled otter. How DO you do it? I will never hear that song the same way ever again!
"Garfunkel."
I love sing-a-long posts! I’ll be singing this all day. I have a strong urge to share this with my pop music class on Monday. :-)
Ooooh, the texture of that roadkill cake! ... is a sentence I never ever thought I would write. Or even think. And yet it feels perfectly appropriate. Huh. Life is wierd.
I am totally surprised that the stubbled otter has not appeared as a groom's cake somewhere in this great nation. (Mind you, I am NOT advocating this idea. In fact, it is an AWFUL idea. Do NOT do it!) If it has been done before I do not want to see the photos and I am delighted I wasn't invited to that wedding.
Okay, I'm all the better for getting that out.
Here's a short message for guys:
For groom's cakes of any type or size
If you're trying to make
A roadkill type cake,
Instead just order multiple pies.
How the heck did they make the fur in that roadkill cake? It is extremely well done - although not what I would want to serve!
Thanks! I've had an awful earworm all day, and now I have BOTW instead. A vast improvement.
I'm sorry to say I never listened to Simon & Garfunkle.....funny sounding song though
Hmm roadkill or stubbled otter? I think I prefer your version to my roadkill theory lol.
I'm not sure about the last one. Is it brilliant? Is if a wreck? I might have to think about it for a while. Roadkill around here usually takes a week to peak.
I love the song parodies...and this one is truly brilliant. :D
Another brilliant post. "Stubbled otter" is brilliant, but methinks the critter is more small woodchuck. Otters have longer tails. Minor detail it is.
