Giving Wrecks A Bad Name

Parents, if you don't want to risk bruised feelings on their birthdays, I suggest you NOT name any of your children "Cubby":

Or "Angus":

("Why, I declare, I didn't know it was the Colonel's birthday!")

Or "Ritchie":

And don't even *think* about "Bobby":

(Got milk?)

Or, heaven forbid, "Trudi":

And while you're at it, you'd better avoid pet names like "honey bunny," too:

In fact, maybe you should just leave names off your cakes all together. That way, nothing can go wrong.

I rest my case.

Thanks to wreckporters Laura R., Lacey C., Trisha A., Brian C., Kirsten H., Kelly N., & Erica for the name-calling.

P.S. Next time skip the name and just order their face on a pair of socks instead. You heard me. Like so:

Custom Printed Face Socks

Or get their pet's face, because all the cat and dog versions in the customer photos are ADORABLE.

Sunday Sweets: A Disney Movie Marathon, Part 2

Ok, so let's get back to our classic Disney movie marathon!

(By Christian Giardina)

It's Bambi's mom! Ack! All the feels.

Disney sure knows how to play the mom card. Remember that scene in Dumbo? o.0 But don't worry; this Dumbo cake is nothing but happy:

(By Pauline Bakes the Cake)

Gotta love those bright circus colors.

I spy some hand-painting on this Pocahontas cake:

(By Cake Couture Edible Art)

...but whether they used all the colors of the wind is up for debate. ;)

Here's one from John's favorite:

(By Mary Fairy Cakes)

Lady and the Tramp!

With so many big sculpted cakes out there, it's nice to see such a brilliant 2D design for single tiers. Check out the ruffles on the table cloth, the texture of their fur, and the spaghetti noodles! Plus the cake has Lady's collar wrapped around the outside edge. GENIUS.

We've devoted entire posts to Alice in Wonderland before, because it has inspired SO MANY amazing cakes. And here's one more:

(By CW reader Christie Jackson)

Look at all the detail! From the dormouse to the card doing a backflip to Alice stuck in the side "rabbit hole." Hee!

The Jungle Book still has some of Disney's best songs - so let's all hum "The Bear Necessities" while we look at this next cake, k?

(By Wonder Cake)

Humhumhum, HUM HUM HUM ha HUMMM...

(That waterfall is stunning. And the palm trees! Look at the palm trees!)

I'm not sure I've ever seen Tick-Tock the croc look so happy:

(By Emma Jayne Cake Design)

Perhaps that floating hook has something to do with it. :D

Speaking of lovable villains, anyone remember Madame Mim?

(By MG Sugarcake)

She's from The Sword in the Stone, and looks pretty fabulous made out of sugar, don't you think?

I think we should call this one "Pinocchio's Birthday":

(By Arte de Ka)

What a cool concept! And so many details! I'm in awe of the tools, the wood shavings, and the gold detailing on the books spines.

I know we had a Wreck It Ralph cake last time, but these Sugar Rush Racers MUST BE SHARED:

(By Kidacity)

Squee!!

And finally, I thought I'd end with two more Frozen treats, since I just can't decide between them:

(By Sonata Torte)

Check out that sugar sculpting!

And then there's this one, starring Olaf:

(By Danni's Cakes)

So much to love here, but that lacy snowflake airbrushing on the cake board really brings it to the next level of gorgeous. SO COOL. (pun intended)

Hope you guys enjoyed our extended movie marathon! Happy Sunday!
