Rude Cakes: 1

Product Information

This book calls for a craft, no? You could bake a cake! Or you could make a cute rude cake craft, one that can be worn as a jaunty little hat or kept around on a bookshelf! Even the golden girls had a penis cake tray. If you don't know who the golden girls are you are too young for this blog.

For those mates with a twisted sense of humour, our offensive gifts are for you. Shop our middle finger sculptures, offensive office stationary and even personalised rude underwear! When I first read this book, I thought it was rather strange and a bit heavy-handed with the whole politeness message. That was until my nephew came over and made me read it to him again and again and again. I am always fascinated by the things that entertain children and so I finally asked him why he liked this book so much. "Because Aunt Venus," he said, leaning in and whispering conspiratorially. "The cake is just so rude." That's it folks. It wasn't the pencil and ink drawings, even though they were quite cute. It wasn't the message. It wasn't even the fact that there where monsters or that he liked cake. The simple fact is that who would ever expect a cake to be rude? And isn't it funny that one is? The sad thing is, this isn't the rudest cake I have been asked to do. Just last week I received a call from someone who was almost too embarrassed to ask for the cake she was after - a certain part of a male's anatomy. Who knew that cakes could be so rude? In this strangely entertaining book, there is a not-so-sweet cake who never says please and thank you, never listens to its parents, and is just downright rude. Don't worry though, this rude cake gets its just desserts when it is snatched from its bedroom and forced to become a hat for a one-eyed monster. Fortunately for the cake, these Cyclops are not rude. One brilliant thing about this picture book (there are many!) is the use of the plural. “Rude cakes” goes the text while we see one particular pink rude cake doing all sorts of bad behaviors, from not saying please to never listening to its parents. It calls a cute marshmallow friend, “clumsy crumb” at one point illustrating just how rude a rude cake can be.

Oh this is a cake for smoking gardeners….

The art is my favourite part of the whole book. The expressions of the cakes (and other food stuff) are perfection. But I also love the little details that can be found in the illustrations (like the poster in the bedroom). Oh, and now that I read the book, the cover is even better than before I read the book. :) But give this one a try. If other books about Manners haven't worked for you, this unusually themed book might. I’ve got a lot of love for this one. It’s a manners book infused with fun and delightfulness and cakes! (And cyclopses!!) Would I be happy for my children to see the cake? I have 3 young children and the cakes always spend time on our dining room table before leaving for the customer - This is really my rule of thumb. Funnily enough though, I was ok with them seeing the cake above - we are not prudish about bodies in this house and I felt there was a certain amount of decency about having the marzipan ladies' boobs covered up with stars.

We’ve got a bunch of rude gifts for her and him in our collection, for any occasion. Actually maybe not any occasion, we don’t think these will go down too well at 80 th birthdays, funerals or graduations. But if you’re looking for funny rude gifts then you’ve come to the right place. How about a metre long penis pillow, which is so soft and makes the perfect companion for all the singletons out there or for when your partner’s away. We’ve also got stress balls in all sorts of shapes and sizes, rude mugs, jelly sweets and more. Offensive Gifts RUDE CAKES never say 'sorry' or 'please' and they cut in line! Which of course makes cupcakes, crumbs, and parents sad and unhappy.This book from Rowboat Watkins is essentially a Manners Book that uses a crazy, out-there theme to deliver it's message in a kid-friendly, non-preachy manner.
