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

God you are so useless

That looks offensive to my taste buds.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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/

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.

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.

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

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?

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*

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.
