about
As written by Carrie Dahlby at the FuMP .com, 3/16/2010:
My favorite website that I go to for laughs, besides the FuMP of course, is Cake Wrecks dot com, the blog devoted to professional cakes gone horribly, hilariously wrong. The popular site created by Jen Yates recently spawned a hardcover book of the same name which made the New York Times best seller list! Inspired by that site and another cake-related viral internet hit, I have written a parody of the song "Cooking By The Book" from the kid's show "Lazy Town", complete with the YouTube Li'l Jon NSFW Remix ending, with rap lyrics written and performed by the great Luke Ski! On the song, we also have appearances by the other 3 members of Cirque du So What?, ShoEboX of "Worm Quartet", Chris Mezzolesta of "Power Salad", Devo Spice, as well as Wyngarde from "The Nick Atoms"! And as if that isn't enough, we've also produced a full MUSIC VIDEO to go with it! So feel free to have your cake and eat it too by downloading the MP3, watching the video, telling all your online friends about it, and regularly visiting the Funny Music Project, a.k.a. the FuMP dot com, and Cake Wrecks dot com! Why, it's so easy, it's a piece of, well, you know.

ShoEboX:
I pile on the frosting
In green and fuchsia lumps
This work is so exhausting
That my spelling talent slumps
Chris Mezzolesta:
I'll wish you "heppy bertty"
Or "Happy Hallydays"
Or "Happy Falker Satherhood"
For this year's Father's Day...
Carrie:
It's a piece of cake to make a wrecky cake
Just be a little lazy
Don't gotta do the cooking by the book
Just make it weird and crazy
Never use a classy recipe
Just gob on frosting daisies
If you throw away your cooking book, then you'll wreck a cake
We've got our Cake Wreck made
Our Carrot Jockeys cake
Finally it's time to wreck a cake
Devo Spice:
Wrecking cakes has its own science
Quotation marks abound
Decorate with raw defiance
Making chocolate fecal mounds
Wyngarde:
Don't tell me "I want sprinkles"
If that is what you want
I'll squeeze out "I want sprinkles"
In a pretty frosting font
Carrie:
It's a piece of cake to make a wrecky cake
Cake wrecks dot com will tell you
You also gotta buy her funny book
That Amazon will sell you
You do not hafta be the "Ace of Cakes"
Just make a fondant fish stew
If you do the wreckin' by the book, then you'll wreck a cake
On Superbowl Sunday
We'll make a wrecky cake
Finally it's time to wreck a cake
And on our wedding day
We'll make a wrecky cake
Finally it's time to wreck a --
Luke Ski:
Break it down, Jen! Show all bakeries why
They should have a spelling test before hiring some guy!
Grab some cupcakes, slather icing inch high,
Make a Curious George that'll make a kid cry!
That pink tarantula? That's a cake wreck!
That daffodil pony? That's a cake wreck!
That flaming armadillo? That's a cake wreck!
That groom's slab of beef? That's a cake wreck!
Carrie: Luke Ski:
It's a piece of cake to make a wrecky cake What!?
Just be a little lazy Okay!
Don't gotta do the cooking by the book What!?
Just make it weird and crazy Yeah!
Never use a classy recipe Cake!?
Just gob on frosting daisies Wreck!
If you throw away your cooking book Yeah!
Then you'll wreck a cake
Luke Ski:
Cake wrecks dot blogspot dot com
Has the cakes that are the bomb!
Army men like Vietnam?
Made by pros, not by your Mom!
Naked Mohawk baby carrot jockeys rule the world
In a vortex of doom, trapped inside a puce swirl!
It makes your head spin, like you're on a Tilt-A-Whirl!
I saw Darth Vader with a baby, "It's A Girl!"
Carrie:
You gotta do the wreckin' by the book! Cake!
Luke:
Yeah!!!
