Boom Baking as a Hate Crime

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 12:29 PM

This cake was made by a detective who lives in Alaska (and happens to be the brother of a friend of mine).

Sorry, everybody—but it's too horrible not to share.

That is really fucked up.

It's not even timely, Brendan. Have you ever heard of right-click-save?

God you are so useless

Posted by Non on January 13, 2009 at 12:42 PM

That looks offensive to my taste buds.

Posted by N on January 13, 2009 at 12:46 PM

Why not just go all out? Here is a subjectively "better" one.

I'd lick it.

The cakes are made with BROWN frosting. And, the numbers that were placed in FRONT are WHITE.
Hmmm..conspiracy? I think NOT!

That cake is a horrible perpetuation of the conspiracy that planes took down the Twin Towers.

what's next? scrotal sac shots?

That's nothing. One time I made this weird chocolate brownie cake that crumbled in the middle when I took it out of the oven - it looked exactly like the Oklahoma City bombing, just chocolate-colored.

I actually laughed out loud. From a design point of view this is so perfect that I don't believe an evilbent artist could do a better job of making something look urg dreadful.

And heres the deal - I am a designer from Alaska (ouch you know thats gotta hurt), 30 years in Seattle, and moved to San Francisco. And you know what don't move here there are no jobs. And I am not gay and I am not Jewish, no matter what others think. It's ok to be gay, or whatever you are - all perfect. Just like this cake.

RISE OBAMA RISE!

That made me laugh. Thank you.

This is so wrong. The planes didn't hit at the same time!

I had forgotten about that event...

Posted by pop on January 13, 2009 at 1:28 PM

The cake is a lie.

What, no Pentagon and Shanksville, PA cakes?

Posted by Urgutha Forka on January 13, 2009 at 1:32 PM

Gives a new meaning to the term "bad taste", eh?

Posted by Melinda on January 13, 2009 at 1:36 PM

#4 - HOLY SHIT. (Is that a pterodactyl hitting the north tower?)

Posted by Dougsf on January 13, 2009 at 1:39 PM

Is that from that Food Network show "Ace of Cakes?"

Posted by CommonKnowledge on January 13, 2009 at 1:46 PM

One plane hit from the north and the other hit from the south and only the south tower had a TV tower on top, otherwise it's pretty good for a hate-cake.

Posted by 350 on January 13, 2009 at 2:06 PM

It's got gray icing, I can't even begin to think how you'd make gray icing.

Posted by spencer on January 13, 2009 at 2:26 PM

Only the North Tower cake should have a toothpick sticking out the top.

And the second little plastic plane should be penetrating slightly lower, and from the East.

Posted by Napoleon XIV on January 13, 2009 at 2:36 PM

The candles should be on top of the towers.

I'm sure the good folks at Cake Wrecks will lurve that one: http://www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

Posted by Sylvie on January 13, 2009 at 2:39 PM

It's not the bad taste that amazes, it's the hideousness and the hopelessly bad construction. And the icing, jesus god, that's just terrible. My dog could make a better-looking cake, and I don't even have a dog.

Posted by Fnarf on January 13, 2009 at 3:10 PM

It doesn't qualify for Cake Wrecks. It isn't by a paid professional decorator. But Jen may make an exception, just because it's in such poor taste.

Posted by Silverstar98121 on January 13, 2009 at 3:55 PM

Where is the little van full of dancing Israeli operatives? This cake isn't telling the whole story, god dammit.

Posted by R. Armitage on January 13, 2009 at 4:40 PM

and where is tower 7??

Posted by bombs on January 13, 2009 at 5:44 PM

I like it. We've been consuming twin towers metaphors, appeals, nostalgia, and revenge ever since that day. The repetition of the planes flying into the towers was scorched into our skulls for months. Why not acknowledge what's going on, and comment upon it by literally consuming the towers?

Posted by wf on January 13, 2009 at 5:45 PM

I'd hit it!

Posted by MarkyMark on January 13, 2009 at 6:09 PM

It's a beautiful, poetic labor of love! My birthday's 9/12, but has anybody ever made me a cake that resembles heaps of smoking ash with a narcissistic douche standing atop it holding a bullhorn?

Never. Not even once. *sniff, sob*

Posted by WordyGrrl on January 13, 2009 at 8:46 PM

The "9 11" candles located on the cake's corner stand as an encrypted code. Translation: Happy Birthday, Rudy Giuliani.
It's good to know if you're going to burn in hell that cake will be served.
