The Search for the World's Most Disturbing Shower Cake ENDS HERE
July 22, 2011
Heads up!
Wow. This is so stinkin' sexy, I almost didn't even notice the outie belly button.
Because fetus cookies are SO last year:
Goes great with mother's milk.
And lots of screaming.
Proving once again that bakers are taking posts on this blog as inspiration:
I'm torn (ha! Ew.) between asking what that gray pouch thing hanging out is and desperately, desperately, not wanting to know. In fact, know what? Don't tell me. I'm never having kids, so knowing what the inner lining's poop chute or whatever looks like is just one of those things I never need to know. Seriously. Leave me to my blissful ignorance.
And finally, look. I realize that a lot of talent was required to make some of these wrecks - I do! However, no amount of talent will ever make any part of this look yummy to me:
In fact, you could say the amount of talent a baker has when making a placenta has an inverse reaction to how much I want to eat said placenta.
Or, in other words:
SWEET BETTY CROCKER I AM NEVER EATING AGAIN.
Thanks to Matt R., Sarah M., Carl G., & Heather A. for today's gut-busters. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to skip lunch.

Umm... Am I the only tapped individual who thinks that last one looks like Voldemort Spawn? Just askin'...
Holy smokes! I have seen some discuting cakes on your blogue throughout the years, but the last one takes the cake! (pun intended).
Ewww! Eww, eww, eww!! I'm never having kids - can't risk having someone serve this horror at my shower!
Could cure my sweet tooth! Ewwwwwwwww!

Oh for the love of all that's holy! I'd walk out of any shower featuring those monstrosities.
Can you say "disturbing"?
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.
If I wasn't afraid of childbirth before I am now! Yuck.
A definite case of when art should NOT be realistic.
First off,
I must know why all these pregnant torso cakes with boobs are ALWAYS apparently cold and secondly,
doesn't anyone know that newborn babies and their placentas are a great source of vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients? Its a government plot to reduce the population and get us to eat healthier.....
I'm going to put on my aluminum foil hat now and hope the aliens make me forget the placenta bowl
Actually, yes, some of us have and do eat placenta. However, it is generally cooked. The thought of a piece of raw steak or pork chop for a cake is just as odd to me.
I love the first one!!! You guys just need a sick sense of humor. Plus their just cakes not like its the real thing. Sheesh.
Geez-us! Disgusting!!! That delivery room table is the worst!
These are different, creative and cool as hell. I would totaly take a big piece. Awsome cakes!!!!

These cakes are excellently detailed. Great job!! I would order one of these cakes. People need to lighten up and remember...IT'S JUST A CAKE...click the little red "x" in the upper right corner of this page and don't worry about it. Sheeesh...closed minded people.
There's always more negativity. People suck!!! Try to be open minded...just because it grosses YOU out...doesn't mean that it IS gross.
O my god, the last 3 cakes really dont look very delicious...
(Note from john: Hey look everybody! I can put spam up now and delete their links! Sweet!)
Jen, I'm starting to think you create these things in a mad laboratory somewhere and then post them on Cake Wrecks. No, the truth is, I hope you do because I don't understand why anyone in their right man would create surgical instruments a bowl full of PLACENTA on a cake.
Why, for the love of all that is holy, why?
So please, tell me you make it all up. Tell me that someone didn't really think that somebody's idea of a great party was to have PLACENTA CAKE.
Please, tell me already.
I SAID TELL ME ALREADY!!
Ok. I've calmed down a bit and I'm going to go lie down and have a nap.
Sweet mother of monkeys! The Pamela-Anderson-Meets-John-Hurt cake in the top photo is really quite awesome in a seriously-twisted, black-humor sort of way, but the placenta cake... Okay, so to keep up the nerd quotient, it looks like something that would fly down off the wall of an alien planet and affix itself to the back of Spock's neck. (And yes, that IS the image that came to mind when I saw the placenta that accompanied the birth of my first daughter.)
Oh, and for Karlee Waddoups, about those spatula-looking things: think shoehorns, but in reverse. You're welcome.
OMG... The last cake... I hate to say it but it appears almost like it's supposed to be a dead fetus. I mean, eww...
OMF-ng gosh! I tried not to swear! I swear! but these were the funniest, grossest, hilariously freakish cakes I've ever seen! I am forever cured of childbirth, cake, and will never be able to think of either without gagging!
The grey gaping things in picture #3 are surgical drapes over a belly for a c-section. (=
Perfect cakes for scaring children from ever having sex, or the wrap party for "It's Alive".
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! I CERTAINLY WOULD EAT ANY OF THESE!! ACTUALLY THEY LOOK WAY TO AWESOME TO EAT!!!! GREAT WORK ALL YOU PEOPLE!!! LOVE THEM!!!
OMG!!! They are all wrong!!! Even the twins in utero - WTH, who wants to eat red uterus, vains, and fetuses!?! And the last one...everyone has commented on the placenta and the baby, which YES TOTALLY DISGUSTING!!! BUT, has anyone realized that if we were there at the shower, and standing from a different angle we would be looking at that babies buttholio!?! Oh my!!! That and the fact that the babies face looks like an adults! EWWWWWWWWWWw!
I was just eating a sandwich. I am not on my way to throwing it up. YUCK.
That "abortion" one is sooo disturbing. Who would do such a thing? People are SO disgusting!
i m now old (38 lol) but when i was a teen i watched sqirm & ate sketti w meat sauce. i showed those pix to my bf & or 14 yo son. I was rolling while they were busy being grossed out. Thanks 4 the laughs. i wouldn't eat those but the bakers r very talented ppl.
okay, i wouldn't eat a placenta cake, but my problem would really be eating the BABY cake!!!!!!!!
I am a med student with interest in Ob/Gyn so I have seen some pretty gross stuff. It is not really so much that the images gross me out; it's the fact that somebody would actually EAT these cakes. Also I don't particularly like the last image. The baby looks dead and as if she is about to become part of a cruel science experiment. Very disturbing.
The last one looks like the baby is dead. Unfortunately I just had lunch with a friend that had to bury their beautiful baby 2 wks. ago. Making cakes like that seems insensitive to me.
well i think these cakes are great. and for people who say that yu dont get squeamish or have a strong stomach, then yu wouldnt get grossed out by these pictures. there is nothing gross about this. and yes people would eat cakes like this. just cuz yu wouldnt doesnt go for others too. i give kudos to these cakes they are great and dreserve to be congratulated.
WRONG SO WRONG on so many levels. Having a baby is suppose to be wonderful not scare the crap out of you!
Wow. I wouldn't say they are disgusting because ITS CAKE PEOPLE!!!! The bakers are so creative and artistic.
These cakes ROCK!
I personally loved MOST of the cakes. The ones with the babies coming out of the belly were a little weird. I really LOVED the placenta cake with the twins though. The placenta is an amazing organ!! I love birth and everything about it. It's an amazing process and a beautiful thing.
Don't think I'd ask these bakers to make a cake for me... I may have to make a special trip to Carlo's and ask Buddy for something NORMAL & appetizing. Have to go throw up...
Disturbing n wrong on so many different levels is all I can say......really, wtf were they thinking making these cakes?
Twisted, warped, depraved, gory... and completely awesome. Thanks for the laughs!
this is just plain wrong.....
OMG. I've had kids. THREE TIMES. And each and every time I was blissfully ignorant of what was going on down below. I never EVER wanted to see what was happening. I'm scarred for life thanks to that last cake. Thank you for stealing my innocence, CakeWrecks! I can see this cake popping up on Etsy, though.
Maybe someone has already mentioned this- but come on! Where are the cakes of the way babies are supposed to come out? The bottom end I do believe not the gut you like a fish belly way...hmm...like surgery is so posh that noone wanted to bake a "push" cake huh?
I think I just threw up in my mouth....
After I realized that the glossy bits of the placenta are yummy frosting and started thinking of the thing in terms of a red velvet cupcake it got a lot more appetizing..
O.M.G!..People actually want to eat these cakes!..Yuk!...
Haha I think that there is a nipple ring on the first cake >_<
This is so wrong in so many ways. Yuck! Who would want to cut the cake....
eeeeeew. they got worse and worse! gave me the shivers. thank goodness my baby shower cake was nowhere near any of these! whew!
This is so great and funny....thanks for a good laugh.
These definitely took creativity and talent. However, I'm not sure that I would EVER eat anything that resembles placenta. Please use your talents for good.
Wow. I made the mistake of looking at these while having lunch. How gross!!
The ad at the top of the page is now for essure, permanent birth control. Awesome.
-lili, a mom who is all into natural childbirth and not grossed out by blood but who continues to be disgusted at the thought of eating human organs, or food shaped like said organs. Blech.
oh great the horror will return. when I was 22 I helped a friend give natural birth., I DID not know what I was in for!!!! when the baby was born I thought GREAT done!!! NOPE and when I saw the placenta ---well it sure scared me out of sex for a while. I had hoped to never see THAT again.... yet some weirdo made it a cake... pull their bakers license!! blech blech....
