September 4, 2015 Some of my favorite new submissions this week.
They asked for, "Happy Birthday Sally/Mom," but I suspect they ordered it over the phone.
;)
Give it a minute.
THERE IT IS.
And here's a little hunting tip:
;)
HEYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bakers, you keep using that word:
;)
"Plain"
I do not think it means what you think it means.
(And am I the only one who thinks it's wrong to put frosting on angel food cake?)
First, you will be mildly traumatized:
;)
Then, you will have just one burning question:
Is that actual fur??
Thanks to Jeremy C., Brittany W., Adrienne P., Jen C., & Angela G. for the shiny pink... hunting hat? Yeah. Let's go with that.
BONUS MYSTERY WRECK:
I often joke that I don't know what a cake is supposed to be, but seriously, you guys: I have no idea what this is supposed to be:
;)
Now taking suggestions in the comments.

Please, please let that be plastic on the Minion cake!
As for the bonus cake.... I'm going to go with a trainee baker making something with the little bits left in all the pastry tubes that were filled with frosting, the cupcakes that didn't sell, and putting it together in an odd-shaped space on the counter.
It's a fleur de lis combined with sergeant's stripes. 'Course, it looks like vomit, so, who would buy that?
Mystery cake: Winnie the Pooh in an over sized sweater with piglet's genitals
Jen you and your hubby should be writing for a comedy sitcom, you're both spot on and hilarious. My guess for the mystery wreck: Road-kill CCC. The top layer are the tread marks from the tire tracks, albeit they are colorful. You can see the poor tiny creature's legs poking out from under the tire tread marks and his headless neck at the other end. I can't wait for the other wreckarator guesses!
Bonus Answer:
A fish?
The last cake...
1. a really bad attempt at a celebration cake for Marriage Equality???
2. X Rainbow or Rainbow X
3. Some Jap Anime show that you've never heard of...
Although I find 3 highly unlikely as you seem to be very firmly fixed in geek culture... yes I read EPBOT!
Angel food cake with frosting is so wrong I gagged a little.
It's RAINBOW FISH after a few days in the bottom of the boat, because someone forgot to clean out the rowboat at the end of vacation.
It's a rainbow trout!
Bonus Cake - I'm going with RAINBOW Trout!!
Jango Fett's severed head eating a Cheeto.
It's a rainbow trout... ish? Or a humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa?
Bonus guess: A Transformer?
Rainbow trout.
I also see a tropical fish. Though that's much less entertaining than other answers.
Angel food cake should be plain. No frosting, no mix-ins, just plain cake. Of course what you pile on top of it is a different story - strawberries, whipped cream, chocolate, the list goes on and on. But the cake itself should be unadorned.
Mystery wreck... I would say a rainbow trout!
Bonus Mystery Wreck:
I think it was supposed to be an Indian arrowhead, but I'm really not sure.
The Power Rangers at midnight, in the fog.
The last Rorschach cake looks like a fish to me. That's been partially filleted.
The Bonus Wreck is OBVIOUSLY a "surfer boy" torso cake wearing a multi-colored tank top; lying on its side....and it's naked from the waist down! DUH! (Square, pink penis!)
Sadly, all I see is a headless mermaid corpse who's tail fin has been consumed by fin rot. That or it's a Popsicle with a bite out of it?
Mystery cake looks like someone was making an arrowhead and made the "v's" backward. Or may a "feather"?
My cupcakes think it is either a tropical fish or multi colored arrows pointing to an egg timer. Makes perfect sense 0.o
angel food cake should NEVER be covered in frosting. Those cakes are crimes against the entire human race.
Last one...I think that is what happens in the brain during an acid trip... O_o
I've got a horrible feeling it's meant to be the album cover from Darkside of the Moon...
Bonus? I see an attempt at the Chevron Gas station logo mixed with a game of Tangoes - the one with the flat geometric shapes that you assemble in different configurations to mimic specific silhouettes.
I think the bonus one is trying to look like a feather perhaps?
For long time fans, that last cake is Epcot.
Bonus picture: Rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise and it's a Gas Station Sign on psychedelic drugs.
I'm gonna go with Boy Scouts' patch in Cake Wrecking.
Cake is plain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.
Mystery Wreck: Inside-out Boy Scout Arrow of Light?
I have never, ever seen angel food cake with icing before, that defeats the purpose of a light fluffy cake. Even whip cream or whip topping would make sense, for lazy people who don't want to go to the effort of going to the dairy section. But why icing? It doesn't even look nice, and going to all of the effort of making swirls would take a lot more time than actually base-icing it and putting some trim on.
Also, I think the last cake is a very confused South African flag.
The mystery cake- The orange "tail" looks like it could be Florida. I'd say they were celebrating the Western migration, with the West pushing back. A little too much...
Y'all see a fish in that mystery cake? I was thinking it was the Chevron oil company logo so maybe it's what the fish would look like after an oil spill?
I give up.
And you're right--NO icing on an angel food cake! What is this world coming to!
OOOHHHHH, now I see it.... it's supposed to be a hat! a-HA!
the mystery cake? I'm thinking something from Minecraft.
You are not the only one.
A Mondrian?
A dead butterfly after a rain storm
New topic: Is the horrific minion wearing braces, or the sinewy threads of the poor creature he ate for breakfast?
Rainbow Fish, obviously.
A v-neck sweater?
Looks like the little fish confronting the massive sharks! Someone's gonna get creamed, or should I say 'frosted!'
I think that is the result of a stroke happening to someone decorating with an airbrush.
I'm sorry, but nobody's gonna address that "hunting" cake? What the SERIOUS HECK is that thing supposed to be??? I mean, if it's not the thing it looks like, in which case I have a whole lot more questions....
Seriously!!! WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!?
Hunting cake: what was that thing on top SUPPOSED to be?
Angel food cake: The only time I have liked frosting on angel food cake was when we served it at my sorority rush parties. They always had this thick pink icing that was absolutely wonderful! But otherwise, I think the cake should be naked so you can add chocolate sauce, whipped cream, fruit and other fun things.
Last cake: Beginner's Special/Mess???
Juls, is my Disney Junior radar picking up a parent whose child loves The Octonauts as much as mine, or are you a marine biology buff? Haha I have to admit that I'm both, and I also saw a Humuhumunukunukuāpua'a!
Somone obviously watched Ghostbusters before making that Slimer, I mean, minion cake. The bonus cake looks like a piece of the grafittied Berlin Wall. I mean, why wouldn't you celebrate 25 years (almost!) of German unity with a cake like that‽
