OMG. that's just gross! who on earth would have an appetite for cake after seeing that?

Anonymous said...

That was seriously disturbing.....I would die. Hopefully it was a close group of friends.

My best friends' sister is having her first baby in Oct. We are getting together invitations and cakes and all that jazz. I emailed it to her. She's going to die.

Gross

All I have to say is... !!

TTQ said...

Come on guys..you know it's funny as hell. To me it looks like a pregnant blow-up doll...

Hey wait..maybe I should sell that idea, pregnant blow-up dolls.

Ashley said...

I would be pissed if some one gave me that cake! Especially with pregnancy hormones kicking it. It would be a very bad scene!!

Karyn said...

TTQ - Yes, it's funny. And to be honest, if my friends got it for me, I *might* laugh. (As long as they got me a pretty cake, too. One that I could take pretty pictures with.)

However, the thing I think is totally gross isn't the Pamela Anderson boobs or the baby or even the French bikini wax--it's the... um... I can barely type it...

It's the... pink lips. And I'm not talking about the ones on her face.

I mean, SERIOUSLY?! Ewww!

Steve Bryan said...

After seeing that cake, I will not reproduce...ever. I heard that some men become impotent if they see their wives or girlfriends in the delivery room, but this cake is having a similar effect on me.

Who on earth would make such a cake? Its like the penis or boob cakes they get for showers. No need. I hope no one took the knife and did a c section on olivia.

PS-
Nice landing strip on the icing version of olivia. Who knew she had time to get waxed and all in preparation for being on a cake and giving birth. Do women really take care of things down there before they give birth? (and yes im a guy, but a gay one, so I have no clue).

Lisa said...

I laughed so hard I peed...but then, I have four kids.

That is the funniest cake I have ever seen.

Holly said...

Do you suppose the cake had a raspberry filling?

Sally Lawton said...

OMG! I actually can't breathe! That is the funniest thing I've seen in ages.
hahahaha!!!

Karyn said...

Raspberry filling??!!! EWWWWW!!!!

I don't think women get bikini waxes before they give birth.

I do know someone who got one, however, and she said it was the biggest mistake ever. So much blood circulates down there when you're pregnant, and it made the bikini wax more painful than the actual birth.

Sally Lawton said...

Forget bikini waxes - where's the hospital gown, the sweaty face and the gas and air?
I've never given birth - but my boss constantly describes it as 'the most horific time of her life.'
I'm going to print this picture of Olivia and shove it on her desk - with a post it note saying 'liar!'

Anonymous said...

I love it!! I decorate cakes and now I have a new idea for future baby shower cakes!! LOL

Nickole said...

I am an esthetician and I can tell you that women do get waxed before giving birth. Not only bikini waxes, but brazilians too. Usually it's because they don't want to get shaved. They don't want to be itchy when the hair grows back. They also get pedicures so they have something pretty to look at while in labor.

I've never had kids, but I can't imagine caring about what my toes look like during labor.

That cake is pretty freaky.

Manic Mom said...

OK, that is AWESOME! I wish I would have gotten a cake like that--seriously hilarious! BTW, what does NSFW mean--I am trying to figure it out...

Not suited for women?
Naked single female whining?
HELP ME ON THIS ONE!

Karyn said...

Not Safe For Work

Manic Mom said...

Oh, and I didn't read the comments before I posted but YES! Women do get cleaned up down there before the birth. Gross here, so don't continue reading if you don't want to read something gross--
My hubby gave me a trim before labor, and I bet a lot of husbands do this for their wives--Karyn, how about a blog-poll on this one for your readers?

And pedicures--yes, you feel so gross and ugly, and the only thing NOT ugly on your body are your toes. Even your feet swell all ugly! I had my toes painted alternate pink and blue for my third child. Thought about having the words painted:

PUSH on the left foot and HARD on the right foot for motivation during labor!

Anonymous said...

Manic, your husband mowed your lawn before birth? How romantic. Did he volunteer?

Connie said...

That cake is just wrong!!

Seriously. . .

Connie said...

BTW . . .

How is Elvis doing?

Manic Mom said...

It wasn't romantic--it was necessary! hahah.

TTQ said...

Yeah you are right..there has to be a pretty one too. For the scrapbook. But this is the kinda legends that gets passed down for ages..

Rapsberry filling... I can't decide if I should laugh or throw up..

Anonymous said...

HAHAHA WOW that was unexpected to see! My sister and I were looking for a cake for her baby shower since she is expecting her first. We about died laughing when we saw that. I must say some one has a ehem "creative" mind.

Ok it might just be me but I love original ideas like that and would probably do something like that for my third baby shower.
