Next Halloween, I'm totally dressing as a three-handed one-eyed Mickey Mouse pirate witch.
A couple of those took a minute... but all WHY?
Poor Snow, in #3. She's been living in that tiny cottage with a bunch of short people so long, she's developed a "widow's hump" that would put Richard III's scoliosis to shame.
I think Mickey is confused...
I don't see what's wrong with the first cake other than a 3-year old is not a baby. What am I missing?
I like the six-fingered Hulk goal tending!
It was kind of them to prove those were two-bite cupcakes.
They took one bite and left the other one for the customer.
When the Hulk requested a child, the six-fingered man only dared say, "As you wish."
Mickey the Pirate Witch???
One cupcake short of a dozen???
A "Baby" cake for a three year old????
That is soooooooo wrong in many ways
(Unless a "grazer" decided to sneak off with a cupcake without paying full price for the package!)
Yep, some of those took me awhile too, especially #1.
Hmmm...a man with six fingers on his right hand.
"HELLO! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die!"
What's wrong with them? Just about every one of them is missing a comma, of course. (Why is it that the non-optional "direct address" comma is left out so often these days?)
@JeanG, I had the same thought. I'd actually pay extra for that cake because of all the work that went into it, especially Mickey's ghostly third hand. Hard placing all that plastic flotsam so artistically.
Snow White and Hella Jeff, coming this fall on Adult Swim!
@Bigg3469: Not just one; look again.
Any chance you could do a Sunday Sweets tribute to Terry Pratchett and Discworld this week or next?
What was the maker of the last one on, and where can I get it?????
Nothing's wrong with any of them that a good, old-fashioned stampede of wild elephants through the bakery couldn't fix....and maybe the Mickey one needed a hand holding the lid up off the cake...obviously he had a hard time seeing clearly--look how he's dressed!
Oh, and the first one is missing the apron strings... =^-.-^=
@CC: Isn't that enough?
Ed, you did well. I cannot believe Jen missed the Princess Bride reference! You really made me laugh!
I agree with Sean. The missing comma bothered me more than anything (except for the missing cupcake, of course). The other cakes are weird or poorly rendered, but it's really just the missing punctuation that makes them "wrong."

Yes, it is. I was looking for a grammatical error or some other decorating horror.

I bet #6 went over like a lead balloon. *rimshot*
In defense of the first cake: I had I combination baby shower/birthday party for my son. My due date was a few days after his birthday and I didnt have the energy for two parties. His cake said "Happy Birthday new Big Brother" though.
i don't understand what's wrong with the first one - can someone enlighten me? I know a 3 year old isn't a baby, but it's not bad.
Funny thing is I didn't even count the fingers on the Hulk hand. I was just wondering why it was trying to do a reverse dunk? As for the cupcakes, I noticed 2 missing!
I am beginning to think that the ones who decorate these cakes are either uneducated or on drugs!
Snow White looks like PBS's Arthur.
Snow White is a cautionary tale. Get your salt from the dwarfs' mine and you won't have enough iodine in your diet to prevent goiters. I've always wondered why so many wear hoodies. Now I know.
As for the last cake, I think we have leftover flotsam from three different kits: the witch looks like she's wearing Daisy Duck's shoes (with both Daisy's hands on the broom, for safety, I guess), Mickey is clearly a pirate, with a disassociated hand, & the treasure chest I'm betting is from a Little Mermaid set (see the crab & water bubbles?).
That said, I have to admire the creativity of making all these leftover pieces (sorta) work together.
@JeanG, my sister and I cannot stop laughing at your comment!
OK, I've read all the comments hoping to find out what is wrong with cake #5, but no one seems to have commented. Please help, it is driving me bananas.
To Sean: Preach it!
;-)
Well, I saw this cake, comin' outta the room,
It had a black eye patch, and a plastic broom,
I commenced to laughin' and I said "ptoo-ee"
It looks like a Halloween cakewreck to me!
It was a one-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
(One-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse)
A one-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
Sure looks wrecked to me! (One eye?)
Well he came to the beach, and he lit on the chest,
I said, Mr. Purple Pirate Mouse, you're not best
I heard him say in a voice so beat,
You'll still eat me cuz I'm so sweet!
It was a one-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
(One-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse)
A One-eyed, three-hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
Sure looks wrecked to me! (3 hands?)
I said, Mr. Purple Pirate Mouse, what's your line?
He said, trick-or-treatin' and I think that's fine!
But that's not the reason that I'm on this cake -
The baker didn't really wanna decorate!
Well, bless my heart, not quite art, flyin' purple pirate mouse
Spray-paint sand, extra hand, flyin' purple pirate mouse
(He's on cake wrecks!)
Flyin' purple pirate mouse,
Sure looks wrecked to me!
Well, he crashed to the beach and he lit on the sand,
He started to wreck, really wrecking it grand
He was a crazy Mickey with a swingin' broom
Sing a boop boop aboop lopa lum bam boom
Well, bless that crab, it's that bad, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
Flotsam bag, witch in drag, flyin' purple pirate mouse,
(We love cake wrecks!)
Flyin' purple pirate mouse,
Sure looks wrecked to me!

Snow has one heck of a trapezius there. Must be in training as a shot-putter?
Just to add insult to injury, I'm pretty sure the Mickey cake is cupcakes...
Am I correct in perceiving that Mickey the three-handed Pirate-Witch is perched on a thin smear of frosting on top of cardboard, with no actual cake anywhere to be seen? Or am I just hallucinating from the excess of cake related horror?
I thought 4 cupcakes were missing - one in each corner.
I'm wondering why there is a treasure chest from the game Squelchies on the Mickey cake. It's got the little gems and the lobster/crab at the bottom! So weird/desperate/demented.
@AnonyMe - The balloons are upside down compared to the text. =-)
Wow. Snow White looks really really happy to be there lol. Almost couldn't tell it was Snow for a minute. And why is a three year old considered a baby still? Only wreckerators will know I guess. The rest of these especially the cupcakes had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
@Seabird Thank you so much! They're balloons! Now my brain can rest. :-)
@ Seabird: [piping bag solo]
This about did me IN.
I just absolutely love wrecked children's birthday cakes!!! They're even funnier than the wrecked wedding cakes and we just LMAO at those.
Ok I know I can be a little dense but what is wrong with the first one? 3 years olds are'nt babies, what?
0.o
You bakers have really outdone yourselves this time. You really have.
I thought Snow White looked so much like Rachel Dratch that I did not even notice the hump.
Happy Pi Day, everyone! (March 14=3.14, this year it's even 3.14.15)
Suppose they have a cake for that ? =)
It looks to me like Snow White wandered into a random Doonesbury strip. Those eyes are so Treaduesque Truedeauean?
Reminded me of some classic dialogue:
Dr. Frankensteen: Perhaps I can help you with that hump?
Eyegore: ...What hump?
@Seabird: Happy Ultimate Pi Day to you, too!
A Pi Day joke (hint: say it out loud)
