Guess Who!
February 24, 2009 ATTENTION CELEBRITY SINGERS: never hire a cake decorator to paint your portrait.
And for the rest of you: can you guess who's who on these cakes? I already gave you a hint. (Answers at bottom.)
Say, do you suppose this Wreckerator realized that "B'day" sounds exactly like "bidet"? That just seems like a bad play, eh? (Hey, these rhymes are unintentional, Ok?)
Did you guess them all? No cheating, now!
Ok, here are your answers:
First:
Tori looks through the looking glass.Or, you know, the make-you-ugly fun-house glass.
Second:
Ohhh - the album is named "B'day". My bad. Or, M'bad.
And last but not least:
Yikes. I guess she does kind of have crazy eyes - I never noticed before. Huh.Rachael G., Sarah W., & Anony M., don't stop the rock.

This reminds me of a notable scene from the 80s, involving my Mom. She wanted to buy the new Willie Nelson album (sheesh...album...how old am I?), but when she got to the store, she forgot his name. She came home with the Lionel Richie album. The one with his picture on the cover. Ummm...Mom? Willie and Lionel don't really look alike TO ME...
(And, I thought the third cake today was Courtney Love!)
Am I really the only one who thought that 3rd cake was Mick Jagger? (Looks just like him - but I'll admit, the fact that it was for a 6 year old made me a bit confused!)
Ha! I believe I told our bakery to go nuts with Tori Amos and that the weirder it got, the funnier it would be, so I think she did pretty well!
I thought that the first one was Madonna and the second one was Paula Abdul. I couldn't stop staring at the TEETH in the third one long enough to even hazard a guess. Those teeth will haunt my nightmares for years to come...
I looked at the second one and thought, "Someone had a Sophia Loren themed birthday? No clue on the first one, but I got #3. That was practically Miley's drivers license photo (albeit in a blond wig).
hahaha. The last 2 look pretty scary, but we LOVE the Tori cake. it was made for my sister's bachelorette party. it was a huge hit! so fun!
love the blog.
I'm super-pleased that everyone else ALSO thought the second cake was Charo.
Astounding.
YES the CHARO cake! I loved it...though would Beyonce.
Poor Tori.
wow. I was WAYYYY off....I thought it was "1.micky ourke, 2.lisa rinna and 3.britney and/or steven kojo."
For a second, I was worried that my David Bowie cake was going to appear here (even though it's not a professional decorating job). But at least you can tell who it is on my cake!
I think Beyonce should be known as Charo II from now on ...
It probably doesn't say much about Miley Cirus that I was able to guess the Hannah Montana cake. I could've sworn the first one was Madonna!
I said #1-Madonna and #2-Charo and #3-Miley Cyrus.
So I got one out of three. What's my prize?
I thought the first one was Stevie Nicks and was completely stumped on the second one (still am, even though I know the answer). I got the Hannah Montana cake, but only because it was for a six-year-old girl.
I thought the second one looked like Charro and the third one looked like Suzanne Somers :)
I thought Jasmine was the youngest member of the Three's Company fan club.
That's not Miley, it's Susan Summers!
Are you sure that second cake isn't Charro? I swear, it looks just like her.
Looking at the comments I can see that I am not the only one who saw Charro, lol.
Yikes on the hanna montana one..
That second cake is so Charo!
I thought they were:
1. Madonna
2. Mariah Carey (fake tatas n' all)
3. Britany Spears
Whole lotta wreckage goin' on there!
t.
Charo's birth name was....
María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Moquiere de les Esperades Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Najosa Rasten
Ay carumba!
HAHA I KNEW THAT WAS TORI! i want a tori cake! and of course i knew miley but i was stumped on the 2nd one.
Mmmm... Tori Amos on a poo cake...
Now there's music to me ears ;)
NEVER would have guessed Tori Amos- I thought it was Mariah Carey!
I thought the middle one was Charro, too.
Nailed Miley Cyrus, though! Not literally, or anything. Just the cake. I didn't nail the cake, either. I just... oh, nevermind.
I got Miley Cyrus.
Scary, that girl is.
I thought the first one was Madonna and the second was Sophia Loren, but I think I was getting influenced by the Oscars. Oh wait, that doesn't work because Beyonce was at the Oscars too and in a more prominent role. Damn.
That second one was definitely Charo. I thought, how great that someone has such a love for Charo that they requested a cake of her. I thought maybe the first one was a 70's Stevie Nicks, but I think that's just because she looked strung out and all hippy. I guessed the Miley one right away. It's the teeth, those frighteningly prominent and eerily straight and protruding teeth!
I thought the second one was Charo too...they are all WRECKS for sure !!! Hideous and strange...
I knew it was supposed to be a woman, but that first cake TOTALLY looked like Marilyn Manson with breast implants.
I guessed #3 but only because I saw the age of the cake-ee.
My guesses were:
#1 - Bette Midler
#2 - Wynonna Judd (after losing a substantial amount of weight)
#3 - Suzanne Somers (hopefully not hawking the Thighmaster)
So seeing the real answers came as quite a shock!
As bad as it looks, I did guess Tori Amos for #1. And yeah, though B-day should've been a hint for Beyonce, I only came up with Charo.
Oh dear. I never noticed Hannah Montana's crazy eyes, either. And now they will haunt me.
I love how everyone thought the second one was Charo. But I guess it makes some sense. The "cake" drawing looks like it has a tiny waist and really big boobs. You're not left with many options....because Dolly Parton is blonde. :D
I had no clue on the first one; thought the second was Kylie Minogue, and when I saw the lips on Cake #3, immediately guessed Mick Jagger.
I got the Hannah Montana one, and that's it. The huge mouth gave it away.
what?! fAT tUESDAY with no King Cake post?! The shame....
I thought it was Madonna, Charo and Britney. Hahaha. I'm sure Tori, Beyonce and Miley wouldn't appreciate that...
1- Some new singer I'm unfamiliar with
2 - Mariah Carey
3 - Britney Spears.
I'm actually rather glad I was wrong on all of them. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought #2 was MC! You think mayeb if someone requested her on a cake, the decorator would end up making her look like Beyonce?
WV: quite - I was quite stumped on all three of today's wrecks.
Awww, I got Tori and Hannah Montana, but I really thought the second one was supposed to be Dolly Parton :( I would never have guessed Beyonce in a million years, ha!
Tori's looking glass looks as though it's encased in poo.
My first reaction to cake #1 was Joni Mitchell (yeah, I'm old), but I rethought it and came up with Madonna. Clueless about cake two. The teeth on cake three are terrifying!
I thought the second one looked like Charo LOL
Oooops, thought the first one was Madonna. I'm terrible at guessing who's on cakes. Never knew that about myself.
wv: soughth - the things in your head. Use it in a sentence - Pleathe write all your soughths down in thith here journal and we will dithcuth them later.
The 3rd one looks alot like Susanne Summers to me.
Everyone thought the second cake was Charo...my first thought was Paula Abdul!
I guessed Madonna, Beyonce (only because of the CD titles below the pic) and Courtney Love! Eek. what does that say about me??
As a Toriphile, I am truely upset that such a cake could ever exist. The fact that I knew it was her upsets me even more, I think.
Would've guessed Barbra Streisand, Charo, and Kathy Griffin
i mistook tori for madonna, but i'm glad to know i wasn't the only one. my guesses: madonna, beyonce and hanana montana. turns out 2 out of 3 isn't too bad.
sorry tori amos.
OK, so my guesses were Madonna, Britney Spears and Courtney Love. I have no clue who Tori Amos is, but I do know that looks NOTHING like the pic on the magazine except for the butterfly. Wow, sure hope if anyone ever plans on putting my face on a cake, they at least do the rice paper photo thing. I can only imagine what I'd end up looking like in frosting.
I just came over here to say that #2 looked just like Charo - I am glad to see that others thought the same!
Another vote for Madonna and Charo, and the 3rd one I had pegged as Suzanne Somers.
