This is my third post now either concerning or referencing Shrek. And that’s obviously not a bad thing at all.<\/p>\n

So during my research on Shrek I came across a strange phenomenon. It seems that Shrek is a popular subject of birthday cakes. And why not? I mean, kids love it (and adults too!) so why not bake a cake of our Ogrelord?<\/p>\n

Except the thing is, people don’t seem very good at it. Example:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t remember Shrek having huge feminine eyelashes. But hey, maybe this is fine. Artistic license and that. Maybe it’s for some poor chap with big bushy eyebrows and lady lashes, who gets called Shrek as an affection in-joke. Without knowing the whole story, who are we to judge.<\/p>\n

But then you have this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Something’s just clearly gone wrong here. It barely looks like anything, let alone Shrek. \u00a0A cake that has truly gone wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is more like it. This actually looks like Shrek (if you can’t tell, just compare it to the Shrek fairy cakes orbiting Shrek Prime). He’s almost\u00a0too<\/em> expressive though, in an ‘uncanny valley’ kind of way. Haunting.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope you like nightmares, Killian! (Also, KILLian? This kid confirmed for serial killer in the making).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not even going to fix that lazy eye then? Fine, I won’t judge!
\nI will however judge the floatation ring around Shrek. Utterly baffling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plain. Simple. Terrible. Sorry, Ammar!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe if Shrek was put in a wind tunnel he’d look like this. But he hasn’t been, and doesn’t look like this. I have no further comment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A rare ‘full body’ Shrek. The proportions are all wrong though. But I do appreciate the happily jaunty angle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Shrek comes from the eight dimension, where they communicate only in varying extents of pain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fat Shrek cake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kudos on the Super Mario Bros pipes as ears. This cake sucks at everything else. I’m not even sure if it’s meant to be Shrek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My personal favourite. A lot of love and care has gone into those teeth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Shrek has a melted face.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Probably the most accurate attempt in this list. However, I doubt a one year old is going to be able to appreciate that fact.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everyone involved with the production of this cake was dead within the month.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wrong green. He looks sad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Unbelievable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

No ears on this one. He can’t hear your screams.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, at least he’s smiling! Sort of.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This one is just all chin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hey yeah, I’d like to order a Shrek cake please. Shrek. Yes, Shrek. The ogre from Shrek. But could you also make him a tiny bit cross-eyed? Not noticeably so, but like so that if you looked at it for a while you’d be like ‘those pupils don’t quite sit right with me’? That’d be great, ta.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great shading! Terrible everything.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seriously, how many of these are there?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HAHAHA WHAT KIND OF 25 YEAR OLD GETS A SHREK CAKE FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY? I MEAN, LOOO-<\/p>\n

Oh wait, that was\u00a0my\u00a0<\/em>25th. It was made by my Mother and I think you’ll agree that it’s the best of the bunch. My Mother is a fantastic baker, and will literally make any cake you ask for.<\/p>\n
