Ba-Loony
September 28, 2010 It's the beginner's basic: one round(ish) glob o' icing, and one string.
And yet...
Yeeeeah.
Er, sorry, but I'm afraid writing it doesn't make it true.
Well, I AM seeing something that starts with a "B"...[looking around] Er...
[waving] Hi, kids!
Dude. Are those teeth?
You know what to do when you see packs of wild balloons running in opposite directions, right?Thaaat's right: Check the expiration on all your prescription meds.
Look at this next Wreck long enough, and you'll begin to ask yourself some interesting questions:
Questions like, "Which way is up? Which way is down? Is that green circle supposed to be the string? And if so, why aren't the balloons attached to it? Hey, am I being Punk'd here? Is that show even ON anymore? And where did my friends go? Do I seem strange, standing here alone in this bakery, questioning a cookie? Answer me, random old woman walking by! ANSWER ME!!
"Oh. Sorry. Well, I didn't know you were called Dennis, now did I?"
Look out, Kerri. They've organized, and they're coming.Which reminds me:
I bet it's a girl.

These balloons make me feel MUCH better about my Up cupcakes with balloons on them. They slightly looked like grapes, but they were better than these!
No. They are not teeth. I may be too delicate to say what they are, though.
Ahahaha, Dennis. Thanks for the Holy Grail tie-in; it made my morning.
No, they're not teeth...they're tampons.
OMG too funny! LOTS of sperm balloons today...and some that look like Christmas lights (on the green loop of "string")
#1 deflated balloons or wimpy bouquet?
#3 boobs, sperm, or eyeballs with trailing nerves? I can't decide....
#4 eyes with leaky pupils or *gasp* TAMPONS???
#5 those are some plump sperm, er balloons, with very active tails, er, string. segregating themselves by color, racing to opposite ends of the color wheel perhaps? warm colors here, cool colors there....they look like they repel each other!
the white things on the pink-circled cake are tampons (unused). I know how those look like.
I think that fourth wreck looks like something that ladies use during their time of month...
'Are those teeth?'
...not my first thought. Not my first thought at all. Though the 't' was right.
Heck, *I* could do a better job making icing balloons than these idiots, and I've never decorated a cake in my life! The one batch looked like demented eyeballs, and the rest looked mostly like...sperm. Or deformed sperm.
WV: ulaidism. I'm not even going to go there.
Moistest? Two of those cakes say "moistest" and that's horrifying. I already hated the word moist and that just takes it into nightmare-inducing territory.
Teeth or tampons?
I despise frosting balloons! They always look obscene or fecal in some way, and never, ever do they actually look like balloons. If you want to give someone balloons for their birthday, WHY DON'T YOU BUY THEM ACTUAL BALLOONS?!?!
Come here, nice little cake decorator... see this lovely white coat? Such a nice coat. Put one arm in here...
Love the Monty Python reference!
You see teeth, I see tampons - even wreckier!!!!
On that last one, I'd say it's septuplets. It looks to me like seven little swimmers made it past the finish line.
I hope those are teeth, because that's actually more appealing than what I think they look like...
Awesome wit for a Tuesday!
Help, Help! I'm being repressed.
Are they teeth? or tampons?
Ummm - I don't think those are teeth. They are more feminine hygiene-y to me (in keeping with the "hi kids sentiment of the previous pic ;)
#4 looks like feminine hygiene products....YUCK
Not teeth; tampons. What better way to "have a happy period" than to eat a tampon-adorned cookie cake?
to answer the question, "dude, are those teeth?" it seems to me they look more like tampons. I have never seen tampons on a cake. Nor do I ever want to see tampons on a cake. And now, they make all the other balloons look "used". so sad. so very, very sad. who could have imagined that balloon making was so difficult??
Keri's balloons are pretty good, compared to everything else here. I think what distubs me the most, however, is that I"m not sure what the first one is. Is it a cookie? Is it a pie? It kind of looks like pie to me. Who decorates pie? Pie is fine on it's own! Let it be.. please wreckerators, let it be.
*ahem* sorry, I've composed myself now.
I think the third from the bottom is supposed to be Christmas lights. Not that that is any excuse for how wrecky they still look, but that would answer why they're connected.
Looks more like sorry dude we tried to be fake but had to show you in the cake that it really is not a good job lol!
#1 is a picture of colored cotton swabs.
#4...I'm afraid those are tampons.
What's the B-word implied for #3? All I see are eyeballs with pieces of... oh, right, brains.
I guess #3 is an eyes cream cake. Or an eye scream cake.
WV: grave -- Enough said.
Just reinforces the theory that cake decorators should have to pass a licensing test:
1. create a shell border
2. create a balloon
3. write "Happy Birthday" in block letters
4. write "Happy Birthday" in cursive
5. create a rose
6. remove the rose and repair icing
7. create a straight line using each piping tip
Okay, maybe #7 is too complicated for beginners. We'll save that one for the CCD license exam (Certified Cake Decorator).
The circle of ballons on the cookie look like vegetables to me. The blue-ish purple-y balloons look like eggplants, the yellow ones look like turnips, and the red ones look like misshapen tomatoes.
Because when you're about to eat a giant cookie, you want to be reminded to eat your veggies!
The one you said looks like teeth makes me think of tampons....
Okay, I'm familiar with "good jorb," but you lost me with "good job-ge"
Picture #3 looks like penthouse boobies and #4 is more the national geographic variety.
There must be a certain technique to making balloons.
Guess these poor wreckorators didn't get briefed on said technique. Some of them look like someone put down a blob of icing and then smeared it vaguely downwards with their thumb.
And I think this calls for another ban: The Cookie Cake. (ptooi!)
EPCOT!!!
uh... i mean...
TAMPONS!!!
btw, the idea of a cookie with frosting just sounds disgusting. ewwwww.
cookie + ice cream= yummy
cookie + frosting= toothache (tampon-ache?? lol)
This seems like the right time to recount the time I was blowing up balloons at work and a woman in her 50's comes in with a bag of balloons she wants us to fill for her son's bachelor party. Giant breast balloons. My coworker had to block the door because it was so awkward, filling boobie balloons in the grocery store. Needless to say we stuffed them in 3 trash bags and taped paper over it all so she could get home with them. Good times.
ARTHUR: Well, I didn't know you were called `Dennis.'
DENNIS: Well, you didn't bother to find out, did you?
ARTHUR: I did say sorry about the `old woman,' but from the behind you looked--
Cakewrecks and Monty Python. A match made in heaven! *clinks wineglasses together*
WV: "babifi" - When you tawk wike dis, you "babifi" youw speech. (Or you sound wike Baba Wawa.) Weawwy!
So glad I'm not the only one who looked at the 'teeth' and thought 'tampons'... Ugh.
The "teeth?" one totally looks like tampons... oh my.
Oh yeah. Those are DEFINITELY tampons.
Those aren't sprinkles, they're chromosomes.
MONTY PYTHON REFERANCE.
i think the cookie with the green string is actually supposed to be Christmas lights (the other cakes around it seem Christmasy)
no, this doesn't explain why half of them aren't attached, just why there is a green string :)
Ahh, Monty... now I have an excuse to go watch it again, just to get these images out of my head.
Not saying much, as everyone else voiced my opinions. Thoughts. Life-scarring visions.
I wonder if it could be a tie in to why my eye doc said I'm going blind?
~~Di
wv - krapso -- you figure it out - you're smart
Look out Kerri, Billy's Ballooon is after you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpc5vgi9zbM (Warning, don't be drinking near your keyboard for this one!)
Ha ha... Dennis.... good one
glad to know I'm not the only one seeing tampons there lol
im a fan of the tampon cake ... maybe for a preteen girl ?? marking her ummm... adulthood??
I like how, on Kerri's cake, they didn't have room for the Y, so they just stuck it on the balloon
wv: alsor - and alsor, the last one makes me LOL!
