All Your Base Are Be Wrong To Us
November 18, 2009 I've had a few requests for more sports-related cakes, since I think there was a World Series or something going on at some point in the recent past. (My perception is uncanny, I know. Let's just say my "sporty sense" was tingling.)
So let's see...that's baseball, right? Okey doke. [virtually rifling through photos] Uhhh. Ah! Here we go:
Mmm, this reminds me of that most fragrant of bakery delicacies: the moldy kitchen sponge. And that Christmas tinsel? Flossing WIN.
What's wrong with this baseball diamond? Ah, the answer is in the question, grasshoppah. [nodding sagely] The answer...is in the question.
In fact, most of the "diamonds" on these Wrecks are anything but:
Although frankly, singling out the diamond issue here is a little like complaining there are no in-flight peanuts while the plane is going down.
Now, I never thought I would say this, but...Thank goodness for plastic flotsam!
How else would we know this is an Elmo/baseball kite?
Wow. This may be the first time I've ever hoped someone was colorblind. You know, for his/her own sake.Natalee S., Mary G., Dawn B., Hannah, & Ashley P., those "baseballs" are terrifying. Hold me?

NOTE: No, you're not losing your mind; two of these Wrecks have been posted before. Oopsie. I was, uh, testing your memory. Yeah. That's it.
(On the other hand, perhaps you are losing your mind, and only think you're reading this right now. Have you considered that? Hmmm?)

I kept going "Wow that cake is horrible!" Then go to the next one: "....OK what sport is that now?" and by the end I realised that... they were ALL the same sport. They were just terrible. That just proves how bad they are.
On Kevin's cake, is that a cricket bat that he's holding? If so, the "only has 2 bases" thing makes a bit more sense, but the bases are in the wrong place to be a cricket pitch. cricket field? cricket green? what exactly is it called, anyways?
Elmo baseball is epic. I'm so gonna order this one.
Its a ground ,with a pitch, and the strip is the Wicket.
Best pun evahr award to the title of this post.
They have ruined a sport I love.
I remember the "rose/baseball" cake from before. And how it burned my retinas the first time.
Thanks.
And I agree that this is one of my favorite titles. =)
Good news for the wreckerator of the first cake, they're actually pretty good at making icing bruises.
I read this section yesterday and was so overwhelmed by the cakes themselves that I didn't notice the title until today when I checked for the newest post. AWESOME is all I have to say.
The Elmo one is kind of cute... looks like the one in the bottom right is eating the baseball
Elmo: nomnomnomnom!
@LaurenH: I see it! I see the skeleton! . . . which means I'm now going to have nightmares about that first cake.
Oh man...something about green on baked goods that just does not work most of the time. And doesnt at all here!
Yee-uk!
Uh, well... *tries to think of something positive* The lines on the last one look really straight? ^_^;
"Complaining there are no in-flight peanuts while the plane is going down"? Why do I feel like I've actually seen that (or something similar to it) somewhere?
Why, oh why, are they drawing baseball bats with testicles on them?
The fact that there are rather nutty-looking bats beside the "diamond" does NOT make that cake any more APPETIZING. 0.0
