Two Words, Bakeries:
August 21, 2009 Drug screening.
Seriously. You guys might want to look into it.
You also want to make sure the DTs are over.
"Triangle Man, Triangle Man,
Doing the things a triangle can..."
And just FYI, managers: Drawing a tuxedo-clad "Triangle Man" with webbed feet is not compelling evidence of sobriety. So you probably shouldn't pick that guy to do the window display:
On the other hand, if you ever have an occasion that calls for a clown to run over another clown who's broken in half while stabbing at a third clown - who's drowning - and all three to be surrounded by bucks, bucking broncos, and mysterious brown swirls in the sky... well, then, you should probably seek professional help.Courtney C., Jen C., Kirsten K., & Samantha R., I get by with a little help from my friends.

A TMBG reference? On Cake Wrecks?
Jen, I think I love you.
Yay! a TMBG reference! <3
Yay for TMBG! It's amazing how so many things I like and/or find funny come together on this blog. Thanks for keeping me amused and my 11 y.o. in hysterics

I LOVE They Might Be Giants!
Poor Nate.. he's only 4. He so doesn't deserve that.
My son had to inform me that the cookie cake is supposed to be a rocket ship, not a Picasso penguin. I still like my interpretation of the picture better, even though his is probably more accurate.
Actually, that clown is not stabbing at all! He's trying to rescue that clown from drowning the in white water creek running through the middle of the cake. And his body position on the bridge makes total sense. Thats exactly how I'd brace myself if I were saving a drowing friend :)
Okay, along with Jen and John for giving me my daily dose of awesomeness and LOL-lery, I also now *heart* Christina for this:
People, Triangle man is not a rocket! He's Baby Morris Day's butt crack at Epcot!
(Although by this point in the comments, I'm thinking we need to add something about a TMBG reference--but that's just me.)
Now, in re: the cakes--
People, I used to DO drugs. SERIOUS drugs. For, like, YEARS. And neither I, nor any self-respecting junkie* I ever knew, would have permitted indignities such as these to be perpetrated on innocent food items. For one thing, the David-Lynch-meets-Rob-Zombie-ness of that clown-murder cake comes a wee bit TOO close to some kind of cold-turkey-Day-Three nightmare.
So, in short: even chronic substance-abusers generally have better taste, a less-horrifying sense of color, and steadier hands than those who created today's exhibits. And remember: Friends don't let friends wreck cakes.
I LOVE the reference to "They Might be Giants!" in your commentary! Perhaps you could work Istanbul in some other time!
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!
Jen, I think the worst cake ever is in this very post; cake #2...that busy green mess. What. The. Aych?!
Oh Wow! Helllllooooooo?? Anyone home!?? The clown cake is killin' me! LMBO!! Love the commentaries and y'all's comments too!
First time commenting as I have been reading a long time!! Could not let the clown/buck/???? cake go by with no critique!
Holy Cr@pol@!
and poor Nate . . . the only way that would be appropriate is if he had decorated it himself!! Poor Baby!
I'm pretty sure some bakery type places DO use drug screening, a girl I know in Michigan didn't get a decorating job as a result, which seemed a little harsh!
Thanks Gladys! And I agree about the TMBG so I will oblige. For those who do not know what this means, it's "officially" a band called "They Might Be Giants."
However it "could" be:
"Teenage Mutant Billy Goats"
"Try Mom's Baked Gouda"
And my personal favorite to say to TMBG fans:
"They Must Be Geeks"
WV: teribbra-yes, I know my jokes are teribbra
Your blog is beyond funny!!! Thanks for making my Monday much better!!! Love the comments too. The Under neat that" cake is mu favorite. :o)

I think that's a rocket....
Today I walked past a Chinese restaurant in downtown Chicago with my husband. It was closed but there were wedding/birthday/anniversary cakes in the window. For some odd reason.
Here's what happened:
Me: I like that one. And that one. And do you think the silver balls on that one are edible? And OH MY GOD THAT'S THE CAKE WRECKS CLOWN CAKE.
Husband: What?
Me: I'm serious. You didn't see it?! I'll show you when I get home.
Man walking past: Hey, that's from Cake Wrecks.
Me: See, it wasn't only me who saw it.
I showed him when we got home and he said yes, I see, it is the same cake. And I said I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE CAKEWRECKS PEOPLE WHEN THEY ARE IN TOWN!
HAHA! I thought it was Triangle Man too. It didn't even occur to me that it could be a rocket until I read all these comments. Might have to look again, lol!
The "Triangle Man" is a rocket... doesn't take a genius to notice that one lol.
That rocket ship cake didn't say, "D-day"?
I couldn't stop laughing about #4, "Clown Wars," and all those unrelated animals! Those clowns must be trying to kill each other off for the single prized opening at the circus; after all, it's a recession, and even the Big Top's downsizing!
And that triangle cake, yes, the first thing I thought of was that They Might Be Giants Song, but I didn't think rocket, because what spaceship has *webbed feet*? People, it's a deformed penguin. After all, it IS black and white -- and has webbed feet!
I just discovered your site, and I am HOOKED - and this clown get up takes the cake... I am sitting at my desk crying with laughter! Thank you!

"butterfly" looks like all of the second graders on the playground at my school did.
