i can't imagine making a cake like this for a funeral.

and this dude is selling cd's giving brides wedding cake advice.

omg say it aint so

It's listed under their adult cake section...like an over the hill type ain't it?

Nuh-Uhhhh!!!! Say it ain't so, Joe!

Geesh, I used to work at a casket manufacturing company and we wouldn't have had one of these for a company function, let alone my dad's funeral! Good lord!

Could it be a joke!

Am I missing something? It looks like just another morbid over-the-hill cake to me. I checked out the site and there's several tombstone, RIP,grim reaper cakes there. why does THIS one deserve to be on cake wrecks? I don't get it.

He's already been on there once:

(scroll down, he's below the stripper cake for the 14 year old)

How MORBID! I am speechless!

Oh how I love cake wrecks!!! the turkeys were so funny!

All4cake: I think the reason the coffin should be on wrecks was because it was for a funeral, not the cake itself. if it were for a birthday, it might be ... well I was going to say OK but I just can't bring myself to say.. it's just too creepy.

That is so tactless, I can't even imagine walking into a funeral, seeing that and keeping my composure. And it's a sloppy job on the cake to boot.

So what would the etiquette be for hacking, I mean serving the cake? Cut the head section first? Or the feet? Or straight down the middle for the gut shot?

And while I'm at it, how about those belly cakes? "OK, who wants a piece of Miffy's colon? No? Here, this ta-ta has your name allll over it."

Yikes.

the only thing that would make this cake more innappropriate is if it was red velvet.

(ps, i agree on those belly cakes. and the baby tushy ones)

Let's not forget those baby bum cakes too I don't care how perfectly executed they are, cutting a baby butt is just creepy

Those cakes are too funny. Thanks for posting.

His cakes are so good, or I meant to say. They're to die for. LOLOL

I hate to say it, but I think this is the place where I got my wedding cake! If it's The Cake Gallery in Omaha, it is. The office where I worked got all the birthday cakes for employees there, and it's only a few blocks from my house. That's just too funny!

I followed the link supplied by the OP. I didn't see where it said it was for a funeral. When I visited the O C G website, that cake is in the adult cake section with various other 'RIP' cakes making me think it was made as a joke for a bd.

Where is the link that says this was for a funeral?

You have got to be kidding! How tactless can you be?!

Oh gosh, my afternoon laugh. I'm all for serving yummy cake at a funeral, but it really should not be so literal.

I forgot to add: Is coffin still a politically correct term? I hear "casket" everywhere now.

what is Mary Kay frosting? Just curious.

Mary Kay icing

it can also be made with 1/2 shortening 1/2 margerine

great for filling cupcakes

if it's not for a funeral, what's that date about?

if it were a birthday....06 was the year, i thought that was the date of the deceased death, what else would it be?

Gosh, I don't know....the year the guy turned 50?40?60?30? I'm not going to say I've done oodles of them, but quite a few RIP tombstone ones where they wanted the date on it.

I found the time to do some quick checking, and yes, this is the bakery that did my wedding cake. I haven't had one of their cakes in eons, but I remember them as being quite tasty. If I was to guess, it was for a "milestone" birthday...40, 50, etc. The date would be when the guy reached that milestone.

I just checked out that site and OMG someone needs to confiscate that guy's airbrush... who the hell is paying good money for that crap?
