The Frogs Talk Back
March 1, 2010 Recently here on CW I took aim at frog cakes, which I might have insinuated are all slimy hell beasts of Wreckage. A few of you took issue with this. So, here to defend their good name are some more frog cakes.
Take it away, guys!
"Well, Jen, as you can see we're extremely well-rounded."
"And we always put our best feet forward."
"In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find a frog cake that was too dimensional. (And if you did, I'd be crushed.)"
"Never mind all that, though: The eyes have it, dahlings."Uh huh. I see.
Well, frankly, guys, I think you're just making my point for me. But wait - what's this? Dribbles has prepared a short statement summarizing why frog cakes are awesome? Ok, then. Preach it, Dribbles.
"Thowwy, I can't wewwy tok wight now. Ma tongue is bwoke."Aw, what a shame. Well, slimy hell beasts you remain, frog cakes. Sorry.

"It's not slime. It's mucus."
The one with the huge feet looks a little crazy, but he's the best of the bunch!
Add me to the list of peeps who think the 2nd cake is actually pretty cute. Could have used smoother lines, but at least you could actually TELL it was a frog. And not a turtle. Or Atari's Frogger after he's had a run in with an asphalt roller...
It's hard for me to imagine a dark green cake of any kind that I would actually want to eat. Bleh.
But as always, Jen, the commentary is brilliant!
The second one is actually cute.
I'm trying to decide if cake #3 is more disturbing as a frog or as a stand of man-eating broccoli.
Call me crazy but I think the second one is cute in a mis-proportioned way. It's just goofy enough to be acceptable in my book. The others CLEARLY belong in wreck status.
I also thought the last one was a green dog. And the ccc is a perfect example of why you should just say no to cupcake cakes.
@kiddan — those are some pretty cupcakes at that link you posted

wv: egqkz - ingredient for a frog cake recipe: add two medium sized egqkz, beaten
The second one is surrounded by other wrecks, a fugly christmas log and some random blue thing. Wreck-o-rama!
I had to go look at the Sunday Sweet frog cake featured awhile back to even remember what frogs are supposed to look like!
i like the second one too.
the broken tongue one is funny.
hahahahahah.
funny this should come up.
I actually looked for pictures of nice frog cakes after your first post. i thought i'd find them and e-mail them to you for sunday sweets.
naturally, i found none.
frog cakes are clearly not cake worthy
Isn't the bigger question here why anyone would want to eat something that looks (or embodies the spirit of, as represented by the mad genius of a wreckerator) like a frog?
It took me a few seconds to figure out what was going on with the second to last one. It looked like the frog had defecated on the shelf below, but it turned out to just be another cake.
WV: brall. Jen's so freaked out by frog cakes, there's gonna be a brall.
Hahahahahaha. Oh well. They tried. :O
Eyelashes? On an amphibian?
*disturbed*
That third cake would have been a fairly good CCC if it hadn't been turned upside down before frosting! the eye stalks turn into pretty good legs, and the lump body into eyes (if there was still a cupcake where one of those glue spots is.)
Have any of these people actually seen a frog? I guess if they see those mutant frogs from MN, they might have an excuse.
There is some hope...google "frog wedding cakes," and you'll see what I mean! A frog cake can be nice, but I think it requires a wedding-sized budget.
I thought with the exception of some seriously fat lips my frog cake came out ok.. Or is that my wreckerator side peeking out?

The one with the thpeeth pwobwem hath a cute fwoggy bottom. (You can thee it in the miwwuh.)
I enjoy the "best foot forward" wreck. Totally Wrecky, yes, but somehow cute. :-)
Bwa ha ha! These are great! Love 'em!
CWAP! With hell beasts like these, the frog cake photo I sent you with the guacamole green lilypad side cake doesn't stand a freaking chance!
C'mon wreckers! Give a small town cakewreck a chance! Take the day off!
::pouts::
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your two dimensional joke and about being crushed. :-D
Cake number four looks like the decorator was playing a serious game of Frogger and the cake was run over by a truck..
This calls for a Sunday Sweets on frogs to give us hope...
Come on troops! Find those Actual frog cakes!
LOVE THE ALICE AND WONDERLAND CAKES!! YAY!!
So now you will have to actually do a Sunday's Best with the Frog Theme... Work really hard and find some that are done cute....
HAHAHAHAHAH one of your best posts in recent times
I made this frog cake for my son's 1st birthday. First cake I'd ever decorated completely by myself - thought it turned out really cute! Much better than the wrecks on here! By the way, I'm self-taught, never taken a decorating class, so I don't claim to be any good at this. :)

the one with the big feet is kinda cute.
Frankly, that second-to-last one looks more like a Cthulhu Cake...
I don't think I want to admit to this, but I bought that cup-cake cake for my son's 1st birthday...and I saw what it looked like before I bought it. Sad but true. Other than the green out of place wort or whatever it was it looked very much the same (tounge sticking out and everything). What was I thinking?
Oh well, my lil' one still looked cute eating that green frosting on his single cup-cake.
PS: I put a picture on my blog if you all want to see...just about identical. Except I think the one Jen posted was actually cuter than mine.

The second one is pretty sweet...but way too green !
shoot - I've actually made a frog cake I was kinda proud of once...
at least IT didn't show up here...
and yeah - the german chocolate poo catcher underneath the one frog made me lose my appetite, maybe I should start checking your blog PRIOR to dinner and it would help my diet?
I think this one needs to be added to the frog cakes... creepy... they look like green leeches...

I think the isolated swirl of poo on the cake under the second to last frog is more disturbing than the frog cake.
