Ok, I am looking for ideas for a cake for my friend’s shower, and I found some that are rather disturbing. Check out “baby 15” here: > **[Coolest Baby Shower Cake Tips and Ideas](https://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/baby-shower-cake-tips/)** > > Take a look at the coolest Baby shower cake tips and photos.

I used the Wilton teddy bear cake pan and a sheet cake pan. I made a quilt out of fondant that I call the head! Also, baby 19 with a photo of the ultrasound? Does anyone think taking a knife to the mom-to-be’s ultrasound photo, and then _eating it_ is just bizarre? > **[Coolest Baby Shower Cake Tips and Ideas](https://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/baby-shower-cake-tips/)** > > Take a look at the coolest Baby shower cake tips and photos.

I just e-mailed my girlfriend and called her “babycakes.” Consider me officially squicked out. ---

Ooo, baby shower cakes! They do seem to attract the creepy factor quite well, don’t they? I always cringe when a baby shower cake comes up on Cake Wrecks. The [belly](http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2009/02/hey-everybody-thish-cake-ish-from.html) [cake](http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/11/oh-mama.html) [is](http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/06/its-rude-to-stare.html) a [pretty](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wGr8njEWjtI/SKBbPdvWPNI/AAAAAAAAAPo/-uJzThWEtX8/s1600-h/tattoo+preggo.jpg) common [theme](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wGr8njEWjtI/SKBa0VS4_uI/AAAAAAAAAPg/A_vR9eAdgTk/s1600-h/Marz+pregnant.jpg), which always creeps me out. We’re going to cut into a pregnant mother and _eat her_? Oh, and then there’s [this](http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/12/fetal-bites.html).

While we’re linking to Cakewrecks, [THIS](http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/07/creepiness-continues.html) baby cake is really, really disturbing: (Warning: creepy as heck). Did I mention it was disturbing? ---

_shudder_ I’d almost managed to block that one entirely from memory. Now the nightmares will be back, no doubt. ---

No links to the one where the baby’s actually coming out and the text says something like PUSH, [INSERT NAME], PUSH? ---

I hadn’t even considered that possibility! Ewww. That makes it even worse. And it also appears that the “mother” is missing the top of her head. ---

OK the head bread could be cool for Halloween or something but the baby cakes… Just ew. The work involved in creating something so gross is mind boggling! ---

In the OP, Cake #20 is actually pretty! The plastic stroller with the pink roses in it . . . And #13 is rather nice too, made to match the plates and napkins at the party. That’s going overboard as far as I’m concerned, but at least it’s not advocating cannibalism! ---

That’s going overboard as far as I’m concerned, but at least it’s not advocating cannibalism! Yes, many of them are ok, as it’s not a site meant to show horrible cakes like CaerieD’s (that is some new level of hell, over there.) I use them often to get ideas for kids’ birthday parties and such. Which kind of makes it worse, because people submit their own cakes for others to admire and clearly have no idea how wrong, say, eating a fetus is. With the trainwreck site, at least the people submitting them are aware of how horrible they are. What’s funny is my friends are sadistic enough to find one of those cakes hilarious, and now I kind of want to recreate one and see if people take it seriously. Kind of ‘candid camera’ for cake.
