Blame Decopac
September 3, 2009 These days many bakeries dream of the day when cake decorating will consist of two steps:
1) Ice the cake, and
2) sell it.
See, actually decorating a cake requires time and effort, and therefore is discouraged where possible. To help bakers achieve this lofty goal, a few enterprising companies (we're not naming any names here....except for that one in the title, of course) are manufacturing all-inclusive instant "decorating" kits.
Here's an example:
Cute, huh? As you can see, plastic is SO in right now. Not only does it save on frosting, but it also allows anyone with the skills of a semi-trained monkey to "decorate" a cake. It's foolproof! All you need is a rounded lump frosted brown, and you're good to go - just stick the plastic bits in! Who could possibly mess that up?
[sigh]
Wow. I'm impressed. This looks just like the carpet adhesive we put down last Spring.From this...
To this!

I love how the last cat looks like roadkill. *lmao*
And I must admit, when you asked how someone could possibly screw up the decorating by using plastic bits, I instantly thought, "why, they could put the bits on a CCC." *lol*
WV: sunvok: I'm going to the beach this weekend and I'd better remember my sunvok.
goodness, I suck at the WV thing. *lol*
LMAO That is too funny Marthka.
I LOVE how they all still have the tails stuck on the ends.
Bwaaaahahahahahahaha! Ha!
Blessings,

Mmmm, tasty, sugary, fluffy roadkill. With a plastic head!
OMG - I just blogged recently about the "dead cats" we use to teach with - now I could use iced versions!!!
Look though this post to see our roadkill cat versions!

Those cakes are mental. I feel like the people who make such monstrosities must be from another dimension.
Isn't that Garfield in his splashed on the car window pose?

Road kill cat has made my day!!
Amazing!!
That cat looks like a self-satisfied animal-akin rug. *Shudders*
Oh my goodness. I've been lurking for a while, but I just had to say something today. And that something is...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
That last one (the cat) looks like thrilled road kill.
"Kitty is SO happy he was hit by a bus!" *snicker*
Good. I hate Golden Retrievers!
OH NOES!!!!!!!
The tail on the dog looks like a little dildo party favour.
Of course its going to look bad, its a CCC, plus it was not made to be a CCC... This makes me ashamed to have been a grocery store decorator!
I think the cat is roadkill, and the dogs seriously need to go on a diet.
OMG i saw the dog at my local store when i was picking up my astronomy project that had made out of cake. I thought OMG i have to take a picture of that for cake wrecks but i really need to get to astronomy with this project so i can woo my teacher with sugar.
So if i saw it at my local walmart and several other people did to that means that it was an instructed wrecks so i guess walmart hates cake and doesn't want you to buy any ever
Short on party food?
Roll up that old shag and voila!
Carpet adhesive!
When I was looking at this with my 3 year old son in the room, he saw that first flattened dog & asked me, "Is that a dog who pee-peed?" I think he just recognized the face and a big spreading puddle of yellow.
That poor roadkill kitty!
I wish they wouldn't manufacture these stupid plastic cake decorating products anymore! You summed it up perfectly Jen when you said, "it also allows anyone with the skills of a semi-trained monkey to "decorate" a cake."
This is what happens when executives run the world and treat artists like sub-human liabilities. (I speak from experience)
I think I just died a little inside.
Running Vista with IE 8 and everything looks just great! I even rhymed a little just now, lol. =)
Welcome to the roadkill cafe! Table for one!!
The cat looks a bit freshly run over, but at least using cupcakes is practical for a party. After a few are pulled out, it wouldn't look so bad.
Sorry but this one cat reminds me of the bumper sticker that says "If you have lost your cat, look under my tire"!!!
All I can think about is those yummy cupcakes!
Mommy, mommy, they hit Scruffy!
How to make a roadkill cake:
1. Make the body out of cupcakes and frost them.
2. Order face and tail from Decopac.
Simple.
