Naked mohawk-baby carrot jockeys
Some cakes are just intentionally weird. The plastic clone babies wearing nothing but mohawks are bad enough, but then they're also riding carrots. What do you do with that? It looks like some kind of perverted vegetable rodeo, or maybe a bizarre clone military exercise, what with their little plastic fists raised high in identical salutes.

Word-for-word
This is the problem with phone orders

Odd name

No, you can't have any
Unfortunately, no actual sprinkles were used in the decorating of this graduation cake.

Double trouble
Clearly, this is not what the customer had in mind.

Photo fail
Someone -- either the customer or the decorator -- felt that sexual harassment needed to be illustrated. The decorator can't be expected to be Picasso or anything, but check out how far the girl's feet are off the ground. Was that the spank heard 'round the world?

Straight from the notes
This customer probably asked for the actual Olympic rings on the cake. That's not exactly what they ended up getting.

Inspiration
The cake that inspired the blog, a picture of which was e-mailed to Yates from a friend in May 2008, is now the cover of the book of the same name.
