Isn't It Funny What People Ask For.
Decorating By irisinbloom Updated 27 Nov 2005 , 5:12am by SquirrellyCakes
I just wanted to share this with you all. I was at the fruit market Friday and the cashier and I were talking and the topic of cake came up and I told her I did cake decorating and she got really excited and wanted to know if I would make her a Thanksgiving cake and of course I told her I would. But what she said next blew me away, here I was thinking turkey and she said Flamingo, yep she wants a cake with a Flamingo on it and said if I could make her one that this would really make her Thanksgiving, it's just funny what make people happy, thanks for listening
You are right...that is a very strange request. However...for the weekend after Thanksgiving I will be doing a cake that looks like a cockroach!
..looking forward to seeing pics of both of those cakes!! A cockroach cake? ...YUUUUUUCK!!
I know...that is exactly what I was thinking. And the strange thing is that it is for a 4 year old girl's birthday party. That is the last thing my daughter would have wanted...she was totally into the princess pink stuff!!!
That is very strange! Why would a 4YO want a cockroach...ewwww! I guess I have no room to talk. My oldest (13 in a few weeks) wants PooPoo cupcakes for his birthday. They're to go along with a Stewy cake who will be in a diaper . Where did I go wrong...LOL! I don't even let him watch the show (Family Guy)!!!
My 4 year old daughter is into bugs! I have the author Eric Carle to thank for that. She has nearly all is books. Her favorite is The Very Clumsy Click Beetle. I made my first cupcake cake and FBCT from the character.
And I thought a Flamingo was strange, just don't think I could handle that one
I think it's strange too. Did she say why a flamingo made her think Thanksgiving? Just curious Maybe it's a family story. I like to do that sometimes with my cakes...tie them into a funny family memory.
Lisa, she didn't say why, but I am curious now so I think when she picks it up I will ask her, all I know is when I told her I could do that for her she was really excited
Cute flamingo cake!!!!
Cock roach?..... sounds like something my 5 yr old daughter would request. She wants to be an entemologist( bug scientist) when she grows up. She LOVES bugs!
Great cake, she had to like it...she's a collector...she probably didnt want to cut into it, just save it in her flamingo collection...
The flamingo cake looks great.
I will be decorating the cocroach cake this weekend. I was going to make one big cockroach using my oval pans...but was having trouble getting a fat enough cake board. So I decided to do a 1/2 sheet cake with an edible image of a cockroach and another small cake that will be shaped like a cockroach. This is the best I can come up with. My daughter was so grossed out when we were looking for an image. Anyway...I will post pics soon. Hope I do not gross all of you out.!
The "pink turkey" cake looks wonderfully done, haha, go figure, but you made a customer happy and that is the main thing. Very cute! As for the roach cake, well I give you credit, I don't think I could do it without nightmares and the "heebeegeebees"!

Just a bad, bad thought....did you put litttle brown jimmies in the cake?
That would make it really gross.
just my weird sense of humor working over time

I was so grossed out after searching for images...both cakes are just chocolate. I hope the little girl will be happy...she is having her party at Chuck E. Cheese...I wonder what everyone will think???? I am still trying to decide if I should give her some business cards!!!

Ewwwh, they both give me the heebeegeebees, haha! Let us hope that was the first time Chuck E. Cheese had cockroaches! Excellent job on the cakes!

Thanks! I am glad the lady is coming to my house to pick them up...I really would not want to deliver those!!!!
I guess the next kind of strange thing I will have is an armadillo groom's cake for a wedding in December. I guess the gross part is that the cake will be red velvet...makes me sick just thinking about it!!!!
You know...I have been wondering why all these people come to me with all this crazy stuff. Probably because they can't find anyone else that will do it!!!!
So you are becoming the Weird Cakes Cake Lady of Houston? Haha, don't knock it, there is most definitely a market for it, you must be impressing people, you keep getting orders for unusual cakes. You know, I don't think I could do a bug cake, I would be too busy scratching, haha!
Hugs Squirrelly
I think this will be my last bug cake...I had nightmares of cockroaches last night!!!!
Ooh, you poor thing, I think I would have too, I must say! Certain things really bother me and that is one. Hope you sleep better tonight!
Hugs Squirrelly
I wouldn't worry about your cakes going to Chuck E Cheese. I am sure their roaches are bigger and scarier!
