That's Not How This Works. That's Not How Any Of This Works.

Back by popular* demand! A brand new edition of Cakes Failing To Look Like The Things They're Supposed To Look Like!

[*The cats liked it.]

A Shamrock:

When the luck of the Irish has a bad day.
And then gets all its limbs cut off.

Balloons.
Literally the easiest thing you can make with cake:

WE'RE DOOMED.

A Football Helmet:

Alien skull. Final answer.

Flip-Flops:

If these look right to you, then someday you're going to make a podiatrist very, VERY happy.

Basketballs:

Or stick figures with no faces.

A School Bus:

Or so they claim.
I'm convinced this is actually a platypus named School Bus. See the little nostrils?

A Baseball Glove:

For the longest time I thought this was supposed to be turkey.
Then I saw the fingernails.

BONUS POP QUIZ!

Can you guess what this is supposed to be?

Here’s a hint:

“This is my handle
this is my… other handle
tip me over and play badminton with my lid.”

Thanks to Anony M., Jennifer M., Matt M., Katie T., Maggie P., Sally N., Tracie T., Jennalee, & Lauren L. who are all wondering what the birdie thing in badminton is called.*

* It’s called a shuttlecock.**

** Which reminds me of this post. Heh.

Here's something that mostly looks like what it's supposed to:

Paw-some Pet Stockings

The little fish bones on the cat one are so cute!

Clippy Branches Out

Tonight we're gonna party like it is 1960's Hippie Party Theme!

"Ahola, Tim!"
"Ahol.. what?"
"AHOLATTA BEACH TURDS."

"That... doesn't really make sense."
"It makes aholatta sense, Tim. AHOLATTA."

Remember Clippy, that annoying Microsoft Word paperclip?

Apparently we all told him to leave one too many times:

Tree what I did there?

"It looks like you're buying a cake! I will make you regret ever opening this bakery window."

And finally, if you're looking to get an intentional Cake Wreck for a friend's birthday: BEWARE.

You'll probably still get a wreck, of course - just not the way you intended. (Sorry, Alyson.)

Thanks to Paige H., Amanda K., Carolyn L., & Alyson A. for the wreck-ception.
