The Super Bowl of Sunday Sweets!
February 6, 2011 ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOOOOOTBAAAAAALLLLLLL???!???!
Awww yeah, Cake Wrecks fans, we are NOT going to disappoint on this Super Bowl Sunday! Granted, the three of us know as much about football as we do Japanese ventriloquism, but we wouldn't dream of featuring non-Super Bowl-related cakes on such an auspicious occasion. In fact, today we're going the extra mile and celebrating the entire list of playoff teams with amazing Sweets. Booyah!
First, remember in the playoffs when that guy from the Patriots was all like, "I've got the ball and I'm running toward the goal with it!!"

YAY, COLTS!
But golly, we were all thrown for a loop when those Jets hit the court!
And when they went up against those Falcons, boy... we never could have predicted that thing that happened at that one point there.

FALCONS! TEAM OF THE MILLENNIUM!

SILLY OLD BEARS!

GO MASTER CHIEF!
And then, oh SNAP! The Ravens came out of nowhere and were at the 40 yard line... the 30... the 20...
Yeah. That's SO Raven.
By the Disneyland Bakery. We think.
WELCOME TO THE HOTEL CALIFORNIA, EAGLES!
Man, the Packers traveled all the way from Boston to go head to head against the Milwaukee Steelers.
But the Steelers were all like, "We're not gonna lose, no way!! We're gonna take that round thing and run until the guy in black and white blows his whistle!"

Will the Steelers steel themselves to steal a victory? Only time will tell. And 'til then, we'll just keep cheering on our favorite team.
GO RED SOX!

Okay, so not to split hairs, but the "Seahawk" is actually Pororo the penguin. It's a famous cartoon in Korea and my daughter absolutely loves it, hence why I am well versed. Don't mean to create another Epcot, but I mean...you were so dead on with the other cakes, why mix birds? I mean I guess I can see the penguin sea-bird/hawk connection. But that's a little below your standards!
love this sweets! you have outmazed me yet again. but why no Browns? maybe most of those cakes are wrecks?
Love the Eagles bit. :) And that 'packers' cake is amazing!
Now, this is my kind of sports post! Go Team CakeWrecks!
You guys have really outdone yourselves this time! Go team Cakewreck!
one of my favorite posts ever!!
so I know I just commented...but after reading the comments I just had to say...are some people for real..lol. It's like Epcot went and got all covered in daisies and rolled from Boston to Milwaukee...lol
Awesome post!!! Thanks for the laughs, from a fellow non-football watcher. :0)
And that Winnie the Pooh cake is beautiful!
Oh, my! That is EXACTLY how I would describe the foosball. My husband is so proud.
The Colts' cake is an absolute work of art! Wow!
BTW...out here in the heartland, those of us who are not "Chiefs" fans call them the Chefs...could have used a Chef hat and it would have been much more appropriate..beings as they SUCK! :)
Happy Super Sunday! :)
LMAO. The funny thing is, this actually added to my football knowledge.
AWESOMENESS!!!!!
Just verifying....Raven's not a CAKE right?
Cake Wrecks, I heart you.
Bravo and well done!
Love the commentary to go with the awesome cakes! And, since I work in aviation, I had to look up the info on that aircraft. Took me a few to figure out if those were "6" or "G" at the end, but yeah, I figured it out.
You know more about American football than I do! And, I'm sitting here in Fort Worth which is part of the Metromess that is hosting the Stupid Bowl.
I'll stick with the Puppy Bowl and Kitteh Half-time Show, thankuverymuch!
Great post, as always!
LOVE IT!
That was fabulous.
Thank you from the bottom of my football-hating little heart.
I almost skipped reading this post because I'm really not a fan of football...SO glad I didn't! lol
I believe you mean the -Pittsburgh- Steelers. <3
Excellent post as always. :]
Oh, Snap! I wish you could have found a Raven cake. That made me laugh the hardest though. :D Loved today's post. :)
@ Kim h, that's a Halo3 Master Chief Helmet cake.
(I had to look it up.)
I love that horse cake, that's some impressive detailing.
I think this is the funniest post I've ever read... on any blog! I was cracking up the whole time!
That was a great post! Loved "Silly old bears". The horse cake was beautiful, but I don't get the angel tier. Well done angels, but why are they there? Horses that have died? Weird.
Lesley
Well done!!! very nice :-)
YAY RED SOX!!!
Ellen
I've seen a lot of awesome stuff on Sunday Sweets, but that little penguin is about the cutest darned thing ever!
I didn't get the Chief's reference. I'm not a gamer. I guess you couldn't find a cake for a Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer? The rest of them were great! Keep up the good work.
Fantastic, I have to say, your knowledge on football is astounding.
HAHAHA!! I love football, and I love your post! Too funny!
Michael:
Surely you must understand that this is a huge blog and the audience comes from all walks of life. To not post about the Super Bowl today would have angered hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people. It would have been like pretending it didn't exist. They don't have a choice but to participate. Frankly, if there were a huge sporting event today revolving around lizard racing, there would be a lizard racing SS post. Plain and simple.
It's not about trying to participate in something you don't care about, or insulting the people who do, or trying to be something you're not. It's about not trivializing the fact that other people DO care, and that the Super Bowl MATTERS to people. It's hard to talk about football if you don't understand it. If you asked me the rules of football, I would probably respond with, "People tackle other people to get the ball to the end zone." I didn't even know who was playing until today.
There have been Cake Wrecks posts about things I'm enthusiastic about that didn't live up to my standards of the activity. I didn't get upset about it, because you know what? People have different tastes. And at least they took the time to realize that sort of thing was important to me, even if it wasn't to them.
This post is here to RESPECT the Super Bowl and its fans, not to insult them. Please try not to jump to offense, it's exhausting.
Now I want KC to change from the Chiefs to the Master Chiefs! Ha-larious!
As a non footy lover and completely clueless to US teams, this was an epic post :D
i was so disappointed you were going to discuss football in realistic terms, then you blew my mind. thanks.
FANTASTIC JOB JEN!! Anything I ever wanted to know about football, I learned from your post today. My knowledge was next to nill considering I'm a DETROIT LIONS' fan!!!!!
BA-DA-BOOM
WV: revirl...We Detroit fans hope someday the Lions can REVIRL, and make it to the Super Bowl!
Super Bowl Sunday, or as I call it, the celebration of the end of football season! Beautiful cakes! I loved the Falcon cake, and the bears, and the Patriots, and the Seahawks.
WV: goeyops: What you get when sitting next to a toddler who has a cold. Ick!!
This is not a cake related comment, but it is Super Bowl related. Jen, if you haven't already done so, you seriously need to see the Volkswagen commercial during the game today. It is available to watch online and has been for several days! I guarantee that you will love it!
that Raven cake is really realisitc! Wow!
Go red sox!ca
Lol! Football aside, some lovely cakes there. Love this site. :)
Conversation at my house yesterday went something like this--
Me: Oh, yeah, superbowl this weekend. Avoid pizza.
Man-in-house: Is that Sunday or Monday.
Me: Pretty sure it's Sunday. *googles* Yeah. Sunday, otherwise people would skip work.
Cake Wrecks makes fun of everything. Nothing is sacred. Having a sense of humor is being able to not take yourself to seriously.
And Winnie the Pooh made this day worth it. Silly Old Bear.
Is that a corset on a ninja turtle torso?
Hee hee! It's obvious that many of the commenters are Steelers fans, since they all commented to the steelers aren't from milwalkee, but no one seemed to notice the packers aren't from boston either.... obviously, Jen could have looked those things up if she didn't know, but that would have taken away from the 'don't know anything about football, ' and the 'go red sox!'
no need to get wigged out about this not being truely about the superbowl either. people tend to get very militant about favorite teams, and excited about every play. that'll happen during the game... this is for being lighthearted before it... now, since the sb is about to start, i'm off to watch some commercials! go Betty White!
I think you know more about football than I do. Wow! And I think the football cakes you showed are just right. Laughing myself silly.
Wow, the jet is fabulous. I love the runway lights. And I'm betting that if there were a national cake decorating Sunday and some sports site featured a tongue-in-cheek false understanding of the art of cake appreciation that you would dance a happy dance and link to it. Poor Michael is just disappointed that the post that thought at first would be beautiful professional cakes honouring NFL teams turned out to be beautiful professional cakes awkwardly shoehorned into humorous associations with NFL teams. Really he should be proud that his hobby is so pervasive that it merits a nod from such an unrelated genre.
This is how we feel about the Super Bowl at our house....when does baseball season start? During the opening kick off, my 4 yr old yelled "Homerun!!!"
Only someone who does know about sports could have written the subtle humor there in the text. You're too clever. The "That's so Raven" comment is priceless!
Friggin genius. This is why we love you. Along with other reasons.
Aww...I feel like a celebrity now. Glad I made it onto Sunday Sweets before I made it on here for something stupid I am bound to do. :) Thanks for featuring my Silly Old Bear cake. :) Especially in a post such as this. Funny thing is, I have an actual Super Fans "Da Bears" cake on my page too. he he
I LOVE today's post! (And I AM watching the game, and yet this post does NOT offend me ;-)
Once again, some of the comments are (almost...well, sorta...ok, not nearly) as amusing as your commentary. I found it funny that no one else except anonymous@5:50 commented that the "Packards" are not from Boston.
Those of you who are offended that these are not serious Super Bowl team cakes need to remember that this is a humor blog. And that Jen is an equal-opportunity humorist/satirist/punster.
@Michael: I doubt Jen would care if Troy Polamalu wrote a cake judging blog. I also doubt it would be a very successful blog. I'm just sayin...
Thanks for the chuckles!
wv-phitan: They 'be phitan it out on the field today.
The Eagles one was the best because I was smiling at all of the other cakes and then when I read "Welcome to the Hotel California Eagles!" I just about died of laughter.
