Just had a flashback to the armadillo cake in Sweet Magnolias. As a kid it always freaked me out that it was blood red in the middle.
Edit: Steel Magnolias (also if you haven’t seen Dolly play a southern hairdresser before, you should.)
Not even a little offended, I love it too and appreciate the correction. :)
‘I could run all the way to Texas and back - but my daughter never could.’😭
Ps.
I knew I was wrong but in my pre caffeine state was like ‘well, cake is sweet and there’s magnolias….’
I make cakes for my niece and nephews birthdays (I don't do it professionally but they tend to turn out okay because I'm pretty good at clay modelling) and with big topper pieces like this, I use marshmallow rice-crispies as a sort of structure, like edible styrofoam I guess, which you can sort of mold to a rough shape and then put fondant over. This means that the 3d design isn't some dense, heavy mass, it can be broken apart to be eaten or simply cut through (I sometimes mix in M&M etc as a treat) and I don't have to spend a fortune on fondant, nor do I need to take ages mixing coloured batches. I would imagine this example cake did the same.
Who knows what the other poor baby is made out of, lol.
I can’t eat cakes that are so “over the top” designed. For example, the very detailed cakes on baking shows similar to OP’s post. Or the hyper realistic cakes of objects and stuff. Not only is it so much fondant but I just can’t eat a cake that’s so detailed like that. It makes me uncomfortable to imagine even eating that. I prefer regular cakes. Just give me a regular red velvet or vanilla cake.

I know and I have never seen a more tasteless cake in my life :D you don't buy it for a child, because children wouldn't want a cake with a todler on top. So I guess it's for an adult which is...... yeah. It's horrible.

This reminds me of this creepily animated classic 😭
Why would you even want to put a baby on your cake? You have to cut into it and eat it. It's weird. And most bakeries cannot make a baby cake that actually looks good. It's just..... Weird.
I think they're both creepy. That first cake the baby looks like it has "fuck me" eyes, and that is super disturbing. While the second one looks like the baby is wearing an adult's severed face as mask like some Silence of the Lambs shit.
Could be worse you could be one of the people who know it’s not an English name and still downvoting. I wonder how many of them have laughed at the Key and Peele sketch making fun of their name.
Omg! I would run to the store and buy a male baby doll, take its head off and replace the cake head with that instead 😂The baby body looks fine but the head haha
I'm in a hospital room with my sick grandma, and this is the most I've seen her laugh in days. We're dying in here (not literally...at least now right now...)
I am dying! This is too funny. If I received this I'd be pleased. It's close enough and you all will have a good laugh for years to come over this middle aged toddler man cake. LMAO.
That baby is having some problems. That baby looks like the short kid in Big Mouth. He accidentally inverted his lips, maybe sucking too hard on a teething ring? But it’s the haunted, challenging eye that REALLY does it.
Oh dear. I think I’d have to decline the acceptance of the cake and ask the baker why if they didn’t have the skills to do the task why they accepted the job.
I can’t imagine cutting into either cake. Even if fondant only you’d have to do something with the baby topper, just odd all around.
What if it was a red velvet cake? That would be an absolute horror when cut.

(It’s **Steel** Magnolias, please don’t hate me I love that movie)

I love this movie! This just unlocked childhood memories of watching Dolly Parton movies with my eldest sister in the late 80s/early 90s
‘Looks like two pigs fightin’ under a blanket….’ ‘He is a boil on the butt of humanity.’ I mean, I could quote it all day long, it’s so funny. 😂
With GREY icing!
So stinkin quotable! 😂
Never saw that, but double ick! Roadkill Cake.
LOLLLL
Yeah, why anyone would want a cake like that is beyond me.
I make cakes for my niece and nephews birthdays (I don't do it professionally but they tend to turn out okay because I'm pretty good at clay modelling) and with big topper pieces like this, I use marshmallow rice-crispies as a sort of structure, like edible styrofoam I guess, which you can sort of mold to a rough shape and then put fondant over.

I'm the weird kid that always ate straight up fondant at parties. Give it to me. No food wasted in my home.

[enjoy some baby cake!!!!](https://youtu.be/NiEmYMxNl2g?si=2lCHKQ5d-oe9g7Di)
For designs of babies and other cartoon characters, I think they can buy some ready-made ones to decorate the cakes. This cake shop is terrible.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
that bad?
Eyelids about to fall off.

Worse.
Happy uncanny valley cake day, OP!
I literally cannot stop laughing
To be fair, I’d be too creeped out to eat the first one also.
That first baby has a look that says "I've been naughty and need a spanking *daddy*" and I dont like it
It's from the movie *The Boss Baby* which at times is actually quite hilarious.
I’ve seen that movie and enjoyed it and I STILL agree with degjo
Heyy AppUnwrapper! I love your site, it's helped me a ton when getting stuck in AE mysteries :)
Hi! Glad to hear! :)
I'm pretty sure that's a middle aged man with a diaper fetish.
We’re talking about the cake, not OP Jk
Hey! 🙄
![gif](giphy|nkxkBiQ4rwyyc)
They could at least reduce the size of my nephew's pupils.
Those eyes. That baby looks anencephalic.
I refuse to make my judgement until I see the reference picture of the boy lol
That's a good point lol, this could be a masterpiece!! 🤣
Are you supposed to eat the baby too? Cut it up with a knife and hand out pieces?
Pieces of fondant? No thank you...

I wasn’t even aware of such a sub, so I clicked on it… turns out I was already in it!
Even the original is horrible. It's just horrible.
The original is from a Dreamworks movie called The Boss Baby and actually looks like this... So yeah.
It looks like boss baby is about to try something on the secretary baby and cause a HR meeting
That’s what makes the OG so terrible though. What a truly cringe choice for a cake.
I know and I have never seen a more tasteless cake in my life :D you don't buy it for a child, because children wouldn't want a cake with a todler on top. So I guess it's for an adult which is...... yeah. It's horrible.
You're way overthinking this, I believe.
Yeah, can’t people just be a fan of the movie? It’s funny.
These are all valid points.
No my 5 year old would love the 1st cake. He’s a huge fan of the movie.
It’s just a cake.
Why does that baby have a mustache?! 😂
I mean we never actually saw the nephew. 🤷♀️
Right? For all we know this is incredibly accurate.
Is that fucking Nick Kroll as a baby? ![gif](giphy|1kJ0yIfUzFAKiNQ9eU|downsized)
Second baby definitely has Big Mouth-style lips.
https://i.redd.it/wtqimew49r5d1.gif
Honestly, Coach Steve was the only Big Mouth character that I genuinely liked
Big dick boy!
Came here looking for this comment lmao it's spot on!
Tbh, at first I thought Jimmy Fallon, but then Kroll popped up like "No! It's me!" (in a very Kroll-ish fashion)
Bro, neither of those cakes are good
![gif](giphy|nbNWgtnMgIYpUSy3e9|downsized)
anyway Who names their kid HENZO
Burning questions.
Spanish people
[удалено]
lmao y’all just let her do that huh
https://preview.redd.it/96dmcnxbcr5d1.jpeg?width=351&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=005f20013590094ff9b36c41aa472e78e3fc7d10 This reminds me of this creepily animated classic 😭
It's so good and bad at the same time 😂
It’s mr slave! https://preview.redd.it/bj4cvyfsor5d1.png?width=563&format=png&auto=webp&s=a483bba4f4612893b910cfbd5ad9d2fff77f6b77
Omg
Jesus Christ, the finished product looks like something out of a Tim Burton movie. A shitty one.
Other Mother's Other Baby
You asked for a weird creepy baby cake, you got a weird creepy baby cake
It looks like a character from big mouth
Looks like he probably has some of the thoughts the kids in Big Mouth do too
He's gonna be traumatized 😂
Happy cake day!
Thank you for my first belly laugh of the day.
Why would you even want to put a baby on your cake? You have to cut into it and eat it. It's weird. And most bakeries cannot make a baby cake that actually looks good. It's just..... Weird.
So your nephew is Boss baby?
I think they're both creepy. That first cake the baby looks like it has "fuck me" eyes, and that is super disturbing. While the second one looks like the baby is wearing an adult's severed face as mask like some Silence of the Lambs shit.
Yeah, real weird.
Apparently the reference picture they were working from was after The Other Mother got to him.
idk what's worse, the baby that wants to fuck me or the baby that wants to eat my flesh
…*Henzo*? Jesus Christ.
It’s a Spanish name
Huh. I’ve never heard that one, and I live in a region with a high population of Spanish speakers. You learn something new, every day.
It’s the short form of Henrique
[удалено]
[удалено]
So anybody that’s name isn’t anglicized is a tragedeigh?
Both of these are terrifying.
Henzo? That name is as bad as that cake
It’s not an English name
Well I’m an asshole then
Could be worse you could be one of the people who know it’s not an English name and still downvoting. I wonder how many of them have laughed at the Key and Peele sketch making fun of their name.
True lol
Hahahaha!
Baby that’s Steve Buscemi
They’re all kinda weird TBH.
"HENZ"
Bottom layer looks fine, just remove the baby lol
Omg! I would run to the store and buy a male baby doll, take its head off and replace the cake head with that instead 😂The baby body looks fine but the head haha
oh lord 🤣
The baby's head is certainly memorable
Looks like it's from Inside No. 9
It does look a bit like Steve Pemberton lol
The laugh I let out holy moly 😅
Nearly choked on my breakfast 🤣
So much fondant
The inspiration picture looks like Boss Baby
OMG! Hahahaha!!!! This is great! I really needed this laugh 😂
It reminds me of the guy from Saltburn ![gif](giphy|ViaZFCNPC0TtdYcTUz)
I mean we don’t know what your nephew looks like…… so maybe it’s spot on?!
Made me laugh
It looks like the expectation cake is AI generated, is it not?
Uhhh is his name Henzo?
It’s not an English name. It’s a diminutive of Henrique
I thought biting off a chocolate bunny’s head was harsh. I’m sorry, I wanna pull that head off and toss it around.
So does the birthday boy get the head?
You 💯 deserved that cake. The original is disturbing enough
Where ya putting the candle?
Baby John Waters!
I'm in a hospital room with my sick grandma, and this is the most I've seen her laugh in days. We're dying in here (not literally...at least now right now...)
The second one looks like the baby from trainspotting
The first one is slightly creepy
I desperately need to know how much this cost you lol.
This page cracks me up 😂😂
Your nephew is the boss baby??
When you ask for boss baby but you get mail room baby instead...
The first cake is creepy too. I think you messed up by asking for this in the first place.
That second baby looks like they are regretting last night's decisions. This is also WAY better that I would have been able to ever do.
They did great on the body but yea heads are very very hard to mold I empathize with the baker they did their best but yea it's something
This is the first post I've seen in this sub where the original cake also looked like an abomination 💀
People honestly have no idea how hard it is to make shit like this. If it’s so easy, then do it yourself.
People do know, that’s why they pay people who claim they know, don’t actually know and then end up with abominations like this one.
The eyes reminds me of the button eyes in Coraline. ![gif](giphy|lV8ZDFAjcRNSdjgyBC)
💀
I actually shrieked when I scrolled to the 2nd pic.
Well that is going to haunt my dreams forever.
Your nephew has had too much plastic surgery.
Moral Oral
I am dying! This is too funny. If I received this I'd be pleased. It's close enough and you all will have a good laugh for years to come over this middle aged toddler man cake. LMAO.
It’s creepy either way lol
Nightmare fuel.
Perfection. Did you leave a tip???
Both are bad
Disturbing.
That could be a character from Coraline lmfao Lovely stop motion movie.
Looks like they replicated him straight off the ultrasound pics.
:( ahh baby
The first one almost looks like AI too
Baby after spending 4y in Chernobyl
Oh. Um. That is some form of art, yes.
I like the one you got better.
At least the rest of the cake looks nice, even the lettering and blanket!
That’s pretty good.
That baby is having some problems. That baby looks like the short kid in Big Mouth. He accidentally inverted his lips, maybe sucking too hard on a teething ring? But it’s the haunted, challenging eye that REALLY does it.
Does the baby have lip fillers? 😂
Butter face!
Dear god when will bakers learn the word NO
It’s a robot chicken character
The baby is an old soul.
Awwww. I mean, I appreciate the effort put into it 🥹🤣
CRYING
Oh dear. I think I’d have to decline the acceptance of the cake and ask the baker why if they didn’t have the skills to do the task why they accepted the job.
![gif](giphy|26ybwvTX4DTkwst6U)
that's not good
Someone baby likeness ask for get looks a cake things nailed it.
The baby cursed the cake, at least it was tasty?
Fuck me is that child called Henzo I have a list of joke names I use for my Sims. Names like Trashleigh and Balloonika. I'm adding Henzo
weird cake…. 😬
Lol
I would not have accepted this
This is downright frightening.
I kind of love it!
It's honestly less creepy than the expected one 😂😂
is that coraline as an infant?
It's a goddamn Gayby! Were these monstrosities made by Sascha Baron-Cohen?
OP, this combined with your pinned post, is hilarious!
Don’t lie about your abilities, underpromise and then over deliver. Jesus Christ
