It looks like that wretched, evil baby in “It!”, I couldn’t eat any of it…well, maybe the corner, but none of the baby bits. That must have been one helluva a baby shower.
The blog is sure to make you feel better about any ugly cake you might have unintentionally made.
Interesting that the cake is from the UK, where there is a pudding known as 'dead baby."
(a bit of cultural lore I learned from reading Anthony Burgess, who had Caligula in Kingdom of the Wicked serving a pasty-baby with mincemeat erupting from its anus)
A friend of mine linked me to this blog a week or so ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. Even better, the comments on the cakes are oftentimes as hilarious as the entries:
I saw this site last week and wanted to post it here but got busy. I think the James Bond plane wreck cake is awesome but the rest are true wrecks and/or just plain scary.
The lotus foot cake is the one that gets me. It’s a train wreck. It’s clearly a well-done cake, everything that the customer ordered, and done extremely well.
I learned about this site on another board, and spent a lot of time on it. I think the cake made for the podiatrist, depicting a “bound foot” was about as gross as you can get, but yet it was good artistically because it did such a good job of mimicing the original. Think of the decorator that had to look at photos of the real thing! Ugh.
I made a cake this year for our library’s annual “Edible Book” contest. It was fun.
I see OtakuLoki beat me to mentioning the foot cake.
That baby cake doesn’t look like someone laid the baby there. It looks like soneone dropped the baby and that’s how it landed. Seriously, I keep expecting to see a chalk outline around it.
