Naked Mohawk-Baby Carrot Jockeys
June 22, 2008 
This cake is so disturbing, I'm almost glad the picture doesn't include the whole thing. The plastic clone babies wearing naught but mohawks are bad enough, but then they're also riding carrots. What do you do with that? It looks like some kind of perverted vegetable rodeo, or maybe a bizarre clone military exercise, what with their little plastic fists raised high in identical salutes.
And what kind of occasion calls for a "naked babies riding carrots" decor, anyway? No, wait, maybe I don't want to know...

This is clearly in honor of the veterans of infant vegetable wars. And in proper infant vegetable war veteran style, the inside of the cake is made out of a root vegetable. What kind? It's part of the surprise! Of course, the mohawks are totally random. Everybody knows that they had mullets.
I kept saying "naked Mohawk babies riding carrots" out loud, faster and faster, to see if there was any hidden message, a Beatles song, you name it. No such luck! I pray it doesn't haunt my dreams...
i laughed so hard for a ridiculous amount of time when i saw this... i almost peed myself and feel off my stool simultaneously.
this made my day. thank you!! i want this cake for my birthday.
My choir teacher showed me this blog and I absolutely love it. It makes me laugh so much!
Sometimes the mystery is better left unknown, but this appears to be as some posters above noted, a baby shower cake improvising traditional Asian New Year's imagery...gone horribly and hilariously awry.
The baby riding an orange carp in the New Year's panels (bottom row, 2nd from the right) is posed like the mohawked carrot jockeys on the cake with the arms upraised with one straight up and the other out perpendicularly. The carp's tail fans out similarly to the carrot's green top. The magpies, the chubbiness of the baby, and the fish are auspicious emblems of a new year.

Someone gave my sister-in-law a carrot cake for her birthday recently. We were disappointed that there where no naked baby mohawked carrot jockeys on it.
I was wondering what to request for my 46th birthday. I will look no further.
Thank you for your sparkly blog!
My guess would be that it is one of those premade carrot cakes with the carrot decor to say what it is exactly. Someone got lazy at a baby shower and thought "Oh! I know how to make it perfect for a baby shower! Put these little plastic mohawk babies on some of the carrots! It will be so cute!" Whoever it was cheated and should be shot. ;)
I love this blog!! You have made my day!! I have laughed so hard that I cannot even finish all of your pages yet!! What a wonderful treat to look forward too! Your captions turn it from funny to hysterically funny! Thanks for quality laughter!!!
didn't mean to be anonymous, just punched the send button too fast!
I love the archives!! Your blog is always guaranteed to make me laugh since discovering it a little while ago. THANK YOU for keeping some easy links like "the classics" around for newcomers like me. Friggin hilarious!
Not that's what I call a carrot cake!!!
They're alien babies, riding into the earth's cities on their flying rocket-carrots, ready to take over our world. And force us to drink carrot juice! We must fight back against this orange menace! D:
looks like something from The Wall, Mel Brooks-style.
This website is such a great mood lifter!

Holy baloney, they're still commenting on this post!
I forgot how I even came across your blog, which of course you know is insane (you definitely have found a niche here).
All I can say is, thank G-d I don't bake--because they'd all turn out like these...
Baby Carrots. That is my guess for the explanation of this cake.
It's my favourite cake in the world.
Naked Babies are bad ENOUGH, but riding on carrots! GROSS
P.S
I : ) Cake Wrecks!
maybe they just needed a quick baby shower cake and this was the best they could do! i love it!!!
hahaha Who? What? Why?..would you make this????? lol This is so funny! xx
This HAS to be the best cake wreck in the history of history. in 30 years it will probably still make people spew milk out their noses with laughter! I know it will for me
Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
you know i always thought that this was a made horror cake topic. wow - it is real!
I saw your book on the Graham Norton Show so had to look up more Cake wrecks. Love it!
Makes you wonder what the baker was thinking...
Laughing so hard I just woke the sleeping baby - who will no longer be server carrots...
I think I just peed a little...
no...
yup
yup
you just made me pee...
but only just a little...
thanks :)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, few years late. But I checked Hobby Lobby yesterday and they don't have the Iceman babies anymore!!!!!! Where can I find some so we can celebrate the baby shower in insane style? Sister LURVES carrot cake and is the only flavor of cake she likes right now. BIL is a die-hard UFC fan. I so freaking need little Icemans to put on the cake, then I'm making the carrots be Tito Ortiz. Just saying.
I GOTTA know where did the naked mohawk baby thing come from is there some obscure holiday its related to or what??
Hilarious!!
I saw this commercial on youtube, and all I could think of was the babies on carrots! http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=1guJsD-au7I
Ha! Go tarako!
The video is a great find!!! I almost started singing the song in the office now....
I found another one:

Now, Jen, tell me you didn't send this post to a Japanese Noodle company!
Ahahahhahah......hahahahahah :-)
This is my 3 year old's favourite cake wreck. He asks "I want to see the cake of the babies ridding the carrots down a mountain" whenever he see's I am on cake wrecks :) Thanks for all the laughs!
And this is when the carrots learned about who their fathers actually were, and why their life is going so rapidly downhill. Apparently Mrs. Carrot had not yet had the Talk with them.
Naked babies are a King Cake tradition. They used to bake them into the cake (before they made them out of plastic), and whomever got the baby was responsible for buying the next cake.
It looks like a cake my sister would like. Perverted vegetable rodeo is SOOOOOOOOO her thing!
I'VE GOT IT ! The carrot rodeo is a carrot cake for a baby shower. Hahahahahahahaha
Oh my god!! I just discovered this site. I'm crying von laughing so hard. Keep up the good work. Babies riding carrots, who thought of this?
Whatever! My baby gets naked and rides his jet carrot all year long. This could be for any occasion... if your baby's cool enough!
Little did I know what lay in store. Seconds later, I'm simultaneously choking on my beverage, trying not to laugh out loud, and tears are streaming down my face.
Sadly, I do understand this cake. This was a last minute baby shower cake. They bought a carrot cake and stuck the babies, purchased at the craft store, on top of each one to make it fit the theme.
Little did they know what a stir it would cause!
I've had the worst month in my life. I was reading PassiveAggressiveNotes.com to cheer myself up and found your site. I've been reading it for the past 5 hours (yes, that's true) and laughing out loud. The pictures are priceless, but it's your running commentary that makes it hysterically funny. You have a gift, and thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. (This pertains to both of you, by the way.)
I've seen some naysayers on here, and I love how you deal with them. Kudos to you for being so classy.
I'm going to go wipe the tears (of laughter) from my eyes and continue reading. Thank you so MUCH for being who you are and for what you do. You cheered this mourning old woman up immensely. If I could hug you, I would. Or send you a horribly decorated CCC. :)
I think I need a shower now! lol
This is by my best guess, a baby shower cake. The mother-to-be wanted carrot cake, but the cake had to be baby-themed. Now, the only way to make a carrot cake baby-themed was to add babies to the carrots. Also, the only plastic babies the baker could find had light hair already, so they did their best to shave ti off, leaving each one with a mohawk. What you are left with- a mohawk-baby-carrot-jockey cake.
Is "spitting out beverages" in this post an EPCOT?
We ride!
and then you made it your logo. the end!
I need to recreate this cake! I hvae the out laws coming for tea!!!
I think someone asked for baby carrots, and the cake decorator said to themselves, "Babies on carrots? Well, okay, I can do that!"
True story: my first baby shower had a cake unveiled to me with one of those little plastic babies on it. The baby was African American..... My husband and I (and the baby when she was born, mind you) are caucasion... smh
Well, now we know what they were doing, Gangnam style dancing in a carrot arena. Guess they afford real horses.
baby gangham style?!
Root-wranglin' nudes prove,
for a fistful of sprinkles,
babies ride again!
