More Sponge Cake!
April 16, 2009 In our continuation of Spongebob Wreckage, let's take a look at some more "artistic" interpretations of good ol' Spo (aka "Uncle Blue?" If you say so, Rufus.):
There's the "Cheater's Cubist Movement":
Talk about trying to fit a square sponge into a round hole - er, I mean cake.
Two bits of flotsam and one thumbprint is all it takes!"Toyism":
Or is this "neoplasticism"? I'm always getting those two mixed up.And the more homespun "Folk Art":
"Shock Art" tends to live up to its name:
How rude.While "Fluxus" - so named because the sense of proportion is kept in a constant state of flux - is my personal favorite:
And lastly, there's the genre-spanning "Lowbrow Dali Deconstructivism":
Faboo.Thanks to Renee, Becca S., Kim S., Allie L., Diana D., Katie H., & Bridget F. for today's movements.
Note: No, I didn't make those art terms up; you can read the [ahem] "real" definitions here. And my apologies to artists everywhere. ;)

They're all bad, but man that last one is horrible!!!!
I've made a SpongeBob cake, but hopefully it's not a wreck:

The last one looks like Spengebab.
I didn't think the NeoPlastic cake was that bad! I mean, yeah, it's just the toy stuck on. And I don't want to know what ingredients are in the blue goo ocean.
But let's face it, there is NEVER going to be a "classy" SpongeBob cake. So if by some weird twist in logic I were to decide I wanted Spo on a cake, that would be exactly what I want, I think.
I have to say, Kelley, your Spongebob cake is pretty damn awesome. Mayhap Jen will take your cake an inspiration for a Spongebob Sunday Sweets post?
wv: crocte
Sounds obscene.
I'm more amused by the comments this time than I am by the "cakes" themselves...the cakes are pretty lame!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the "Meet the Robinsons" movie reference. I love it so much! Also I think there might be something wrong with me since I think the blue spongebob cake is delightful, or it could be that particular shade of blue is my favorite. Keep up the funny!
Oh i totally love the last one..;D
No matter they look like,they all look yummy.;D
In the last one it looks like Sponge Bob pooped out a pink bubble. Hilarious!
I love the dali cake.
The last one is a major trip. Love it! hahaha =]
my mom made a spongebob cake wherein hid nose was pointing straight up between his eyes. very, very wrong.
I'm sure this has been said before, but this blog is an awesome thing to read on a Friday night when you've had a few, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.
(Not that it isn't awesome otherwise, of course.)
sssssssssccccccccccccaaaaaaarrrrrrry!
Sorry, I'd buy any of these!
Oh, Poor Spongebob...he gets no respect at all !
The Verdict:
Leave him in peace on Bikini Bottom and stop trying to make cakes out of the poor little dude !
That folk art Spo looks like "Bill" from schoolhouse rock's song, "I'm just a bill".
Actually, in SB SP, there's an episode in which he's trying to be cool to impress Sandy Cheeks (the squirrel). Patrick tells him that in order to be cool, he should stick his pinky up in the air. His pinky is, thus, in the air the entire episode.
I have a feeling this cake was unintentionally rude; just a mistake by adding an extra finger.
I think although sponge bob looks wonky, the airbrushing on the last cake is nicely done, in my opinion.

On that third-to-last one, are those jellyfish, or Sputnik?
