have you seen this happen? can it actually work? how do you rig up a realistic-looking cake for this stunt to take place?

i'm not planning on doing this anytime soon, but i've always been curious.

make sure there's some air holes in there.

my question is are the cakes totally fake? in which case it must be a BIT of a bummer for the recipient.

Charles Foster Kane to thread!

You could jump out holding a real cake.

also is there any way to do this w/o making it totally obvious? if there was a party for me & someone WHEELED IN a gigantic fake cake while everyone giggled i think i'd know what was coming

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

but would that make it any less good?

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

if somebody jumped out of a cake holding another cake i'd expect somebody smaller to jump out of THAT cake and i would be VERY dissapointed if that did not happen.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

Not if what was coming was a rabid pit bull jumping out, or Neil Patrick Harris, consider that the next time you snicker at the obviousness of the idea of jumping out of a cake.

midget!!

alternately, baby kangaroo

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:24 (twenty years ago)

remember that scene in Under Siege?

― latebloomer: Deutsch Bag (latebloomer), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:25 (twenty years ago)

Everyone assumes, oh fake cake and giggling friends, must be a naked lady, but sometimes it's actually a baby panda. For real!

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:26 (twenty years ago)

whenever i've seen this happen on film or tv, the cakes have looked either completely fake (like made out of wood) or else totally realistic. i guess carefully frosting a paper mache shell could work.

good call on nph, ally. but he'd have to be wearing fishnets and short shorts.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

a certain someone did this for me once. it was awesome.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

did the baby kangaroo have boxing gloves on?

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:28 (twenty years ago)

I think the key is to load it up with frosting. Otherwise, it becomes obvious that the cake isn't real. Though there's no getting about the sheer size of a fake cake that can fit a human being, so that is an issue. You'd have to do it at a huge party in which a 20-lb cake is justified. Also, the wheeling it in deal is not good. You'd have to get someone who'd agree to sit inside the cake, in plain view, for a while, otherwise people know because who wheels in cakes? They don't even do that at weddings, they just let the cake sit out.

― Allyzay must fight Zolton herself. (allyzay), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

but they might have to sit there for hours!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

i guess worst-case scenario you drug 'em

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

damn. but if you let the cake sit out with someone inside of it you run the risk of a waldo jeffers scenario when a cake-crazed partygoer decides to go ahead and cut into it.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

In my case there was no question the cake was fake and what the "surprise" was - I was more amazed that she had actually taken the time to construct a fake cake and gotten herself inside it.

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

That's why you always assume that there is a dead stripper in the cake.

drugging probably leads to sluggishness though, which is not what you want in a cake-jumper.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

maybe she constructed it from the inside out! anyway, that's really nice of your mom, shakey.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

i am amazed it took us this long.

― u saved me (dubplatestyle), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

put the cake over a hole in the floor and person can just step in when it's time.

― Miss Misery xox (MissMiseryTX), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

I think the only way around the obviousness of cake is to jump out of a giant pie.

― laurence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

has anyone ever tried the "popcorn trick" with a cake?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

on second thought, there's no way that would end well.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:34 (twenty years ago)

yr just jealous

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

then there's the issue of oven space if the cake were even partially real. no wonder this has fallen out of fashion. i've already got a headache and i'm nowhere near decided on how to do this.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:36 (twenty years ago)

Cake jumping is a social construction.

― Aimless (Aimless), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:37 (twenty years ago)

make sure you put the jumper-outter in AFTER you bake the cake!

i think i need to consult someone who is into performance art.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

i did a lot of dirty thing with that album, once.

― remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

actually, wrong. i did one dirty thing, repeatedly.

― remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

(and at the age I did it there was nothing particularly dirty emitted)

― remy (x Jeremy), Monday, 19 December 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

thank you for that little detail.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

haha.

but obviously the cake is fake, right? I mean, if I was at a party and someone wheeled in a giant cake and it WASN'T fake and a person/animal DIDN'T jump out of it, I would be disappointed. The trepidation/excitement would be all about whatever the hell was going to jump out of that cake - naked, not naked, regular or midget-sized? animal or person? drunk or drugged? boxing gloves or non?

we didn't.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 19 December 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

I'd be more interested in jumping INTO a giant cake.

PP that first pic looks weird, is that woman shrunken or something?

I jumped out of a vagina.

that's more like jumping out of a pie than a cake...

Can you hire midget strippers?

try to stop me

― oops (Oops), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

I think they make the cake first and then inject the person into it before it's cooked. Oh wait, I'm thinking of how they get the jam into doughnuts, aren't I?

I've only seen this once.

unlike a bulimic party, when the cake jumps out of the girls....

― d.arraghmac, Tuesday, 20 December 2005 13:20 (twenty years ago)

I've always wanted to jump out of a cake.

i wouldn't want naked people anywhere near my cake. that's a) unhygienic and b) tacky.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

― geoff (gcannon), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 15:20 (twenty years ago)
