My weirdest request so far has been a fruit fly cake. Story behind it was great though. A research center that uses fruit flies to study cancer ordered it for their boss' surprise bday party. I was told the fruit fly (cake that is) had a name the second they saw "him". He was babied by the group as if he was one of their own until they ate him. I didn't know anything about using gelatine at the time and experimented forever with different candies to get the wings to form.

I haven't had breakfast yet so I'm definitely not googling decubitis (I was a nurse's aid for about 8 yrs. just after high school and went to college to be a nurse, but didn't finish) and I have seen a nurse stuff about 20 ft. of gauze into one of those puppies!!



Believe me when I say.........you CAN have a gory, nasty, disgusting, vomit-inducing, wound without it being bloody!!!!!!

I was reading this thread and thought to myself who would want a toilet cake then an old friend from Highschool contacted me on facebook asking if I could make her father a birthdady cake I said no problem I will be in town the week the party ( highschool was on west coast of Fl, I now live on the East cost of Fl) then she said she wants it to look like a toilet. I responded with the price and have not heard back from her and i hope i don't, I can just see it now I am vactioning at my mother in laws this summer and I say by the way can I have room in the fridge for a toilet cake.

think about a big gaping hole that you could literally fit your fist inside of on someone's backside w/ the inside looking a little like Freddie Krueger's face!

Oh my. That's terrible. Can you imagine suffering with one of those?

This one, to depict a prank game they played on each other by swiping credit cards down each other's butts. Whatever:

Its a gag from "Will and Grace" tv show

haha, KHalstead's explanation was enough to make me gag. no WAY am I googling that! :]

Is it just me or has this thread gotten WAY off topic?

Here's something weird someone requested from me once -- she wanted a straightforward three tiered cake. Okay I can do that. We haggle over the price, the design, etc. and she tells me "you don't have to put a board under the cake." Like HUH??? Yep, she wanted NO cakeboard or anything under the cake. So like where's the cake supposed to sit? She thought it would save her $$$ for no cakeboard. So I tell her "do you put your dinner on a plate?" "Well yes, (duh!) it holds the food." To which I respond "as the cakeboard holds the cake!"

Bob, I keep getting this mental image of someone trying to transport a cake with no cake board!

Ok. Bob you have my vote. No cakeboard? That has to be the strangest.

I know, I know, I was literally stunned speechless at that one! Not only because of the suggestion itself, but she was soooo serious in making it! Honestly I have no idea to this day what her thought process on that one was...

I also had someone request that I make an almost exact copy of a Tinkerbell cake they saw at Wal-Mart. They paid for the cake kit and I charged them twice Wally's price for the cake. I thought that was a little weird, too.

Several years ago a woman called and said she and her group of girlfriends were going to a local restaurant for a surprise celebration for the recent surgery of one of the ladies.

She wanted a pair of naked perky boobs... not a torso, just boobs (including nipples)... on a tray, because the friend had just gotten a boob job after years of wanting to have that done.

So I made the cake. :shrug:

I have no idea which restaurant, but I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall when the wait staff brought the cake out. hahahahahaha

I've done a car crash cake. It had to have 2 wrecked cars, a horse, a deer, and an ice cream cone on it.

I've also done an old man hunched over a cane with rooser combs on his knees. Same customer as above. The same lady has requested a 3D "fat lady" from the opera and a "father time" type old man.

She definitely comes up with the oddest requests, but I love doing them!

I think I got a few strange ones that I was asked for, but right now at the top of my head I remember one where they wanted Real peackock feathers and they brought thos star fishes (real ones..dry) and the wanted them with the feathers..I have no clue why...

I would have to find photos..
