Rabbit Food
March 31, 2010 [singing] "The bunny, the bunny, ohhh I ate the bunny."
Or, uh, whatever these things are.
Holographic rabbit ears? I bet those get a lousy reception.
Do not look directly into the eye of Mara!Or, just look at this:
Eek! You know, I'm starting to think maybe shredded coconut isn't the bunny cake cure-all:
Somewhere in that haystack may be the rest of him.
What the...??Are these on food court trays?
And yeah, they look like alien gophers wearing plastic rabbit ears. There's that, too.
Uh...
I'm sorry; those "ears" have robbed me of the capacity for coherent thought. And the pink yo-yo thingies jammed into the jawline? I can't...I mean, I don't...That is to say, I have never...er. Huh.

Ashley M., Sarah F., Anne B., K&J, Gail R., Laura S., & Brooke I., I don't want to tell you a joke that is funny I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny.

Update from John: Apparently, what we took to be food court trays are actually meat trays which I think we all can agree, is sooo much better. And it raises a question: is it even cake or is it some lovely ground chuck slathered in mashed potatoes? The world may never know! (Unless, of course, somebody bought one and ate it. Then we'd probably know. Ya know?)

One of my favorite posts. These bunnies are hilarious!
Those cakes are pretty bad. However, the Veggietales references are pretty awesome:)
Even worse than food court trays, I think those are meat trays! You know, the kind ground beef comes on... Ew.
Veggie Tales Rocks!
That first one looks really shocked.
And did anyone else notice that it's just half of a round cake set on its side?
The food court trays look like styrofoam meat trays. Who lets the bakery staff near raw meat?
As usual, CW surpassed my expectations! But, when you quoted VeggieTales...Well, you have now officially become the best part of my day. :D

Veggie Tales Rock! Love the reference!
Veggie-tales ref! Yes!!
In those food-court bunnies, it looks like they have deer antlers.
Love Veggie Tales!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH! I ATE THE BUUUNNNNYYYYYYY!
As I read this morning's post, I kept singing one of Anya's lines from "Once More With Feeling" (The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Musical)...
Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes,
They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses.
And what's with all the carrots-?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
Bunnies, bunnies it must be bunnies!
"... but now I feel sick in the head from the bunny..."
I think that pretty much sums up my reaction to today's Wrecks.
I thought we weren't supposed to sing the Bunny song anymore.
Those aren't Food Court trays, they are USED GROUND BEEF TRAYS FROM THE BUTCHER SHOP!!! E-Coli-licious!
Veggie Tales!!
I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny. I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny.
While these bunnies truly terrify me .... the yellow chicks next to the blue bunny are quite adorable. Ya know, focus on the positive here!
I don't want a tissue when my nose is runny I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny!
VEGGIETales for the win!!
Anyway awesomely uh... interesting bunn... curious creatu... yep, I got no words either for that last one...
That last one looks like leftover Christmas Elf ears.
So, upon seeing the first cake my three year old daughter says, "What the heck is that?!!!" 'Nuf said.
I LOVE the Bunny Song!
I third the theory of the meat trays. I've seen it done before -- and it's especially horrifying with animal-themed cakes. Bunnies soooo deserve better!
I think those are Vulcan ears on the last one...
I don't want to play on a day that is sunny I just want a plate and a fork and a bunny! (But not one of those bunny abominations)
Love the veggietales reference! I kept seeing Mr. Nezzer dancing in with the weird asparagus backup singers changing colors in the disco ball light! Made my day!
The last one looks like the result of when you mate a Vulcan and a Pokemon...*shudder*
Veggietales FTW!!!!
These are the scariest "bunnies" I've ever seen, and that's interpreting "bunny" generously.
I would sing the Bunny Song, but we're not supposed to anymore.
WV: Squin. Even if you squin', these things still don't look like bunnies.
I can't believe you knew the VeggieTales song! My son (shhh....he's 10!) is a huge fan of The Bunny Song and other VeggieTales. Also, we like to sit down together and read cakewrecks. I can't wait for him to get up and see this. Awesome! Oh, and John? Thanks (I think) for the meat tray clarification!
From my eight-year-old: Those tie-dyed blob things look like they just got teeth pulled and have gauze rolls in their mouths.
Perfect using The Bunny Song!! Love it!!!
We weren't supposed to sing The Bunny Song anymore, but that was the OLD Bunny Song, the one that said, "The bunny, the bunny, ooh I love the bunny. I don't love my mom or my dad, just the bunny." The song was so popular that the message of the video got lost and they had to go back and rewrite it!
Those bunny cakes, though. Those are something else!
...alien gophers WITH BOOBS.
Oh....no words can bring logic to any of these.
But I must agree with Jenniffer - we now know why Anya was terrified of bunnies.
"And it raises a question: is it even cake or is it some lovely ground chuck slathered in mashed potatoes? The world may never know!"
To quote the immortal George Carlin:
IT's MEAT-CAKE!
:D
wv: Epipha - when you come really close to having a moment of enlightenment, but miss
That last one's cheeks actually look like hands he's holding up, saying 'please don't eat me'!!
Meat-tray bunny needs a bra, and the one on the left needs to turn her antlers around.
This post has me wondering if anybody has ever seriously loused up a Bob, Larry, or junior cake.
Then again ... how hard is to mess up tomatoes?
Wait, seeing the ingenuity of some wreckerators, I can't wait to find out!
mumps!
My husband and I thought the alien gophers wearing plastic rabbit ears look my like mutated bunnies with boobs. Scary!
Do you think you could put a link to the Veggietales song in the post. I think a lot of your British fans might not have heard of it. Shocking as I know that must seem.
Can anyone tell me when the yellow bunny evolved? I can't say I've ever seen one of those before!
Drawn to Caricature,
Just click on the blue word "bunny" in the first line. It will bring you to a reeeealy bad recording of the song.
Wreck On!

I LOVE VEGGIE TALES!
I own all of the VeggieTales dvds (I started collecting them long before having kids :)
I should send you a pic of the VeggieTales cake that I had someone make for my daughter's 2nd B-day. The girl who made it had never heard of them. She did her best (and I still thought it was cute and a 2 yr old wouldn't know the difference) but it was definitely a wreck!
One year for April fools day I made meat loaves in cup cake tins and frosted them with mashed potatoes with food coloring in them. So maybe you aren't far off on those meat tray bunnies! Today is March 31st, they are just stocking up early.
I thought the meat tray bunnies were wearing antlers..... Jack-a-lopes, perhaps??
@phelpsgurl - a Vulcan and a Pokemon?!??!!! HAHAHAAAaaaaa!!!
Did no one else see the girl Ewok ('80's cartoon version)instead of a squished cartoon mouse?
Waiting in antici...pation for the Rabbit of Caerbannog - thought he might be lurking behind the demon lambs of yore but no. None of today's "bunnies" (you've taught us well how to use quotation marks) are deceptively innocent enough.
BTW - my first post after reading this blog for a year- and buying multiple copies of the book!- and I FINALLY understand what everyone's doing with the wv. Ah-ha! (Mine was sefition - This is sefition for my first post.)
The store I worked in had the half round cakes with the plastic bunny face stuck to them with the coconut in a rainbow assortment of artificial coloring. They reminded me of tires with bunny masks. The store is gone but oh were they scary.
The last one looks like he has the mumps.
I get the feeling that song was more than a little inspired by Oogie-Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Especially when he's got the kids tied up and sings about how they're going to die.
Classic VeggieTales. Back when their characters were allowed to threaten murder and sing songs about skipping church to worship a bunny statue. You know, for kids!
Creepy cakes, Great song. At least the Veggie Tales bunny was chocolate. Styrofoam ground beef trays, what's up with that? Is their meat in cake boxes? And to answer the question about singing the Bunny song anymore, there is a new and improved version on one of the Veggie Tales sing along videos.
Someone get a bra for those "bunnies"!
"...Don't be the bunny..."
I LOVE it when you quote VeggieTales!!! Thanks!
