A Fine Feathered Salute
November 28, 2009 NOTE: Today's post contains material (namely icing) in unintentionally unseemly shapes. There are also some poop jokes. If you are offended by unintentionally unseemly icing shapes or poop jokes, you will not like today's post. In other words: Hide the children!!
That said, everything here is safe for work (as always) and will most likely sail cleanly over the heads of the very young. Still, parents should note that CW has always been, and always will be, a PG-rated site.
Now, on to the unintentionally unseemly icing shapes!
Last week we established pretty much every possible way turkey cakes can be wrecked...except one.You see, turkey cakes have two inherent flaws. First, they're made out of chocolate icing...
which looks like poo.This you know.
However, the other problem - which I have avoided mentioning until now - is that they also tend to have long skinny bodies and blobular heads, which can look, well...
a little stiff.
The turkey poo-wang.(Nice "legs.")
Here's another:
This guy looks pretty shocked. Think that's because his beak fell off, or because he's so surprisingly out of proportion?**ACTUAL DIALOGUE WHILE WRITING THIS POST:Me: I'm not sure about "surprisingly out of proportion."John: Why, what's wrong with it?Me: Well, it's quite a mouthful.John: [screeching laughter]
Me: [innocently] What?
Turkey: the other dark meat.
Katey S., Owen H., Paula W., Laura I., & Lola P., these Wrecks give new meaning to "giving you the bird," don't they?

Here's what I don't understand. Thanksgiving cakes have given you practically a month's worth of material. However, who eats cake at Thanksgiving? It's all about the pie! Are there that many families that eat Thanksgiving cake that these cakes are so prevalent?
wv: imisti - These cakes had me laughing so hard, imisti in the eyes!
When I saw the second turkey cake I instantly thought of a turkey wearing one of those old curly wigs, but in yellow, red and orange instead of white. LOL :P
*snort*
Best post ever! XD
Hahahahahahahahhahaha...turkey poo-wang..Hahahahhahahahaa. *wipes tears from eyes
This post made me even gayer.
SOOOOOOOOO funny! The "turkey poo wang" is priceless, but I'll always have the "coiled crap hound" as number one in my giggle inducers!
That's what she said!!!
Actually cake 3 was not a bad looking cake - until ...
I agree with the - about 11:30 am - Anonymous post.
My three year old was looking over my shoulder and liked the last turkey cake. She said "Oh,that's so funny!" and I said "And it looks like a poop, doesn't it?" and she said, in the most delighted voice "Yeah!"
I've never laughed so hard!
turkey poo wang. OMG. BAHAHAHAHAHA!
LOL re: turkey poo-wang.
"Melissa said:
Oh my God, the term 'turkey poo wang' is the funniest thing I've heard since 'coiled crap hound!'"
You said it, sister! All these cakes need are some poo tornadoes to complete that festive Thanksgiving theme.
It's PIE season, people - if you would stop ordering cakes for Thanksgiving, all this (literal & figurative) crap could be avoided.
"Turkey poo wang" *snort*!!!!
This post has made my day. LOVE the dialogue finale!
"Giving you the bird!"
You're SO funny!
I can't believe these are allowed to be sold in public grocery stores...or are we just deviants for seeing them this way?
the funny thing is my husband would think nothing is wrong with these turkeys lol
I don't understand the dialogue between you and John.
I have not read your blog in a long time. It is great to be back!
way to funny!
@Erin
LOL! You never KNOW what they will say next!
oh this made my day! HEElairous!
Have you seen the Cake Wrecks (Flip camera) commercial? A guy is using a camera to film a professional cake and says, "This is what it's supposed to look like..." then pans over to a Wrecked version of the cake and the annoyed looking woman who made it.

No wonder these turkeys look happy this time around!
hahahahaha
THANK YOU. so much.
All the turkey cakes from the past few posts have been hilarious and greatly improved Thanksgiving at my house. :-D
But today's are best of all! Lily
My mother is visiting from Ohio for the holiday, and I gave her your book (gotten when you all were in Framingham, Mass.) to read. She was laughing so hard she couldn't speak, and she's planning to get a copy of the book for her sister. :-) Then I showed her the blog, complete with phallic turkeys, which set off more gales of laughter!
If you've ever seen a real turkey, it's not poo-brown anyway. They're white, especially their necks & heads. These wreckerators need to get out more. Maybe visit a farm after their Wilton class. --Samantha
eww... where has that wang been?
I think I gave myself a hernia laughing at the Turkey cakes! I will never look at a Turkey in the same way ever again. I found this site three days ago and have not stopped until I have looked at every sigle wreck! I can't tell If I am having chest pain from a heart attack or if it is from my aching chest from laughing! Thanks a million!
I'm so jealous!
here in the UK we don't celebrate turkey poo-wang day &so can't buy such wonderful cakes
The first thing that popped (or should that be pooped?!) into my head was 'Oh dear' Can they genuinely not see that their cake is shaped like a penis covered in poo? Dibs on not eating the poo-penis!!
I thought Mr Hanky only came out at xmas time?
This was your funniest post ever!
Actually, most domestic turkeys are white, which is what we all eat at T'giving. But wild turkeys (we have a flock living about 1/2 mile away) and they have a blue-red head. And I believe that's what people are trying to copy for T'giving, the traditional Pilgrim-wild turkey- look. Except they're not right. And they don't have red, orange and yellow feathers either.

This one reminds me of an afghan my Grandma had at her house!
Thanks for the hysterical laughter today! Not sure what made me laugh harder, your post with witty banter or Melissa's comment.
awesome poo wang clan
Four words for you now: What. Would. Freud. Say.
My son asked me why there were turkeys that looked like willeys. *sigh*
Husband cracked up.
I, I just thanked my stars that I make normal cakes. :)
Ha ha ha - that one lost his pecker! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!
Given the avian nature of this episode, would it be too fowl to call those last items poococks, as opposed to poo-wangs?
HYSTERICAL!!!! You never cease to make me LOL Jen!
That's why they call it the "struttin' turkey cock"
Best. Entry. Ever.
Oh dear Lord.
That's about all I can say after looking at these...0_o
Owww, I think I pulled something from laughing so hard!
"The other dark meat."
Jen, you bring balance to the (bakery) force! I wish you could see a video montage of all of us snorting and crying with laughter all around the world.
Love,
Melanie in NJ
Well done, Jen! This post will certainly be tough to beat. *smirk*
Also, that last one looks like a yeti attacking a can-can dancer...blech.
I laughed so loud and hard that my mostly deaf grandma heard me from three rooms over and asked my husband if I was choking. One of the funniest wreck sets yet!
