Wedding Day Jitterbugs
March 9, 2010 Uh, guys? Somebody might want to call an exterminator.
Why?
Well, you know those "crawfish" on the wedding cake?
(Photo taken down at the request of the baker. Please enjoy this lovely photo of Epcot.)Yeeeah. They're looking a bit more like cockroaches.
Amanda L., those cockroaches look a lot more like cockroaches than any other cockroaches I have ever seen.

The fact that they look like cockroaches is only half the problem. The question still remains: Lobsters? On a wedding cake??
Cockroaches? Crawfish? They look more like Epcot to me.
Given this baker's arthropod identification skills, I'm not accepting any invitations to her/his house for crawfish etouffee.
Jen how do you stand it?? It's driving me nuts just reading all the commenters who didn't get your funny COCKroach reference, or who got it but didn't realize you wrote the pun on purpose. Aaaaaahhhh!
And for the record this is the grossest wedding cake I've ever seen in my entire life.
Without reading the description, I called them penis bugs. >.>;;

I was thinking the shape of those "cockroaches" looked like something else entirely.
Uhh...roaches? because I'm getting more "penis." "Penises with lots of legs."
either way - not wedding appropriate!
That front one is even missing a leg on the left side. eeeeeewwwwwww.....
I came in to post what a lot of others posted! Glad I am not the only one who did NOT think 'cockroaches' when I saw that cake! lolol....
hahahaha. thumbs up for epic innuendo. =)

This statement should really go on the home page.
Didn't Adam Sandler have a sketch about this subject?
It's a cock lobster!
Normally I'm willing to ignore the fact that a cake is ugly and eat it anyway. Erm, but not this one. Lost my appetite.
Well, they're either sadly abnormal penises - and, just in case they were modelled 'from life', the bride needs to rush her hubbie-to-be to the nearest clinic/hospital/emergency room for a thorough check-up - OR they're Klingon Kondoms....
did someone say C-O-C-K roaches?
Yeah...this one is a bit phallic. Creepy-crawly element is added, but it's phallic.

Really?! Why do so many people miss the purposeful innuendo?! A part of me is dying every time someone makes the joke that Jen already made in the post!
Are you sure those are cockroaches - I was thinking they kinda looked like, well, you know. Maybe the groom was a manager at Red Lobster. Maybe a lobster boat captain. Maybe a successful implantee.
wv - thear
Thear!s got to be some kind of logical explanation for that Wreckerator!s cocky attitude!
"That cake looks beautiful. Can we make it for my birthday?" ...unsolicited opinion from my almost-four year-old daughter just now. Eye of the beholder, I guess!
LOL, oh my god, you wrote cockroaches about 50 times in the post and people still don't get it. I guess next time you'll have to write "PENIS!" in blinking, red letters.
Anna Claire sez:
"...And for the record this is the grossest wedding cake I've ever seen in my entire life."
Ah, you haven't been reading this site for very long, have you, Anna Claire?
Welcome aboard!
I'm afraid you're going to have to rethink your delightful commentary and amazing puns in the future to avoid the kind of migraine I can only imagine would result from self-congratulatory, clueless would-be cleverness in the comments. So, for today's post, for example, instead of referring to "cockroaches" to make your point understood, you could post "HEY GUYZ THESE LOOK LIKE PENISES. WITH LEGZ. ROTFL."
Yeah, when I first saw that I thought it looked like a hairy peen. Mmmm, yummy.

SO TRUEEEEE!
I can't stand all of these non-joke-getters!
We put the (disgusting, bloody?) cock in cockroaches. That is epic cake fail if I ever saw it.
Take the first part of the word of cockroach, then add blood and hair. GROSS
I'm like, "She totally missed the fact that
those look like...ooohhhhh. I get it now!"
Great post, Jen...but I have to say you weren't very subtle...and yet people still arent' getting it!!? *sigh*
Oh, and good luck to John in your moderating duties today. :-)
Everyone knows crawfish have pointy little heads with long feelers not bulbously obscene heads. Must be cockroaches.
wv rerstry On their first anna-rerstry the couple will look back and say, "why did we think it was a good idea to put crawdaddies on the wedding cake!"
I'm so sad I didn't have hairy, red, clawed penises on my wedding cake. My marriage is doomed.
By the way, why's the wedding cake on the floor?
Maybe that's why it has bugs crawling on it ...
someone in the bakery failed to convince the bride to reconsider her choice or decorations... and then failed the execution. YIKES! Where is common sense when these things happen?
... Who would want crawfish on a wedding cake? No. Really. Who and why?
But yes.. COCKroach in certainly what I'm seeing here.
That had to be a 'cockblocker' of a cake!! I couldn't have any romantic thoughts after seeing that atrocity!!
I think it was supposed to be the cake for the stagette!
Well, from across the room, they could be ants...if that makes anyone feel better...
with emphasis on COCK?
Definitely dicks with shine lines emanating from them. Radioactive dicks.
take off the legs, people! Those aren't cockroaches
Kathleen @ 3:35 - YES. Now I have the B-52's in my head, warbling "cock lo-haaaw-obster!"
Also: These comments make me feel better about myself. Bless.
I hope you two went out for margaritas or something tonight. God knows you earned it today! :)

Ok, so I understand the meaning behind "epcot" but could someone point me in the direction of the post it refers to? I must have missed it.
Oh, and people really should scan the comments before posting their own. If you're trying to be clever, it's best to make sure someone hasn't already said your clever thing.
They look like a weird combination of hairy penises and steaming poops! Wow!
Today is the first time I ever thought of "cockroach" as a compound word. Part this, part that-- and the two parts together mean eternal love, no doubt about it. Turns out that a severed toe or a dead deer have nothing on this.
*wipes away tears*
I haven't read through all the comments (so please don't go Epcot on me;) but on first glance I'm thinking that is one HELL of a fertility symbol! All those cockroaches look more like penises with legs (or maybe I just need a cold shower LOL):-P
PS oddly enough my word verification is "cemen" ROFLMAO
I'm a little concerned these look a little more like radioactive male genetalia!!
They look more like penises!! YIKES!!!!
Wow! I've read your blog start to finish more than once ... and I think this is the yuckiest cake of all. I mean, some of the other penis & poo cakes were pretty gross, but this one is the worst because there is the greatest discrepancy between how beautiful it should be and how obscene it is...
Jen, really. All you had to do was a wee bit of editing: COCKroaches. . . and your fans might simmer down. Are you sure it was a wedding cake and not an "engorgement" cake? Just askin
