Hi,
I'm Holly, a freelance project type of girl. I'm a bit of a crafter and I do funny things. I went to art school and can make just about anything in the kitchen. I have a real job, you may even call it a career, so I'm not going to list my name on the Penis Cakes website. You will have to excuse me for that.
Regardless, I'm not some kind of cake ninja, I'm just a girl who makes funny things. It is funny to make something from a penis cake pan, then when your friends eat it you can quietly chuckle. I hope you will make something from the site and share it with me.
Hi Holly. Any suggestions on what I can do with both my penis cake pan and my bundt cake pan?

Actually I think this is an even better idea than making a straight-up penis cake for a bachelorette party, which is a little corny. Make a nice palm tree or fireworks cake for the bridal shower, so all the uptight relatives will have to politely say nice things about it...

It's like what Carvel did to Fudgie the Whale!
Although the cake depicts the shape of a whale and was originally decorated as such, it was adapted for holiday uses by rotating it 90 degrees counter-clockwise so that the whale's body, now upright, could represent a face. The whale's tail would then represent whatever a character traditionally had on its head: the Easter Bunny's ears, a leprechaun's hat, or Santa Claus's tassel. Fudgie the Whale was often promoted around Father's Day, using the slogan, "For a whale of a dad."posted by funkiwan at 11:47 PM on February 4, 2013 [6 favorites]

This is as good of a place to tell this story as any, because penis.
I once lived with some artistic folks that had a rather large carved weed pipe. A large, pink pipe. A large pink penis pipe.
It was cut out of pink/salmon colored soapstone or something and was just the sort of carving you'd find at any souvenir shop in Tijuana. It was just about life sized, alarming veiny, circumcised and had the bowl carved above the balls at the base of the shaft, and the stem and smoke came out of a hole right where the urethra should be.
There was absolutely no way to smoke out of it without looking like you were about to slurp on some massive dong. It was intentionally very awkward and suggestive.
The story was that they had had the pipe for many years and it had served as a really accurate personality test. If you weren't uptight you'd just shrug and get over it and smoke out of it. Because a penis pipe is really just a pipe.
But if you were uptight? If you refused to smoke from it, assuming you wanted to smoke the devil's wheatgrass as a guest in their house? Apparently everyone who failed that test ended up being bad news and all kinds of trouble. I only saw one person refuse once, and he totally ended up being a confirmed dick.
Well, I saw two people refuse. The other one was a hairdresser and painter friend from the neighborhood who was ultrafabulously gay, but he was a good Hispanic Catholic boy who was everything but openly out of the closet because, basically, he didn't want to break his mama's heart. We gave him a pass and didn't push the issue because he looked like he was about to faint and blush himself to death.

TIL penis pans exist.
Wait, you've never seen anything like this before? You've never seen phallic baked goods? No cookies? No molded chocolate on a stick? No penis soap-on-a-rope? No zombie-shambling bachelorette or hen parties?
These things have been around since at least the 60s or 70s if not much earlier. There's a whole industry for this stuff. You can get penis hats, penis napkins, mardi gras beads with penis medallions, penis shaped silly sunglasses, giant inflatable penises, squeezy penis stress balls, penis pencil eraser toppers, penis finger puppets, wind up hopping mechanical penises... heck you can probably get penis-shaped penises with penises all over it.

And now that I'm more awake -
Dude, you could get so many more ideas out of the cake if you let yourself cut the balls off and reposition them:
* Saguaro cactus. (Move balls up to either side of cake. Use cupcakes to supplement length of cactus "arms".)
* Stretch limo. (The balls both go along one side - one towards one end, one towards the other - and are the wheels.)
* Eel. (Balls go on either side of cake and are fins.)
Etc.

I have to admit to always being utterly confused over the extreme phallocentric nature of bachelorette party paraphernalia. It all seems a bit...worshipful. As if the young girl's life has led up to this moment of...what? Getting a dick of her very own?
Then add-in the consumption of phallic cake, candies, etc. and the symbolism gets really weird.

I once lived with some artistic folks that had a rather large carved weed pipe. A large, pink pipe. A large pink penis pipe.
Huh. So I bought a similar thing in Peru as a gift for my friend who was a weird combination of uptight and ...something to make us unsure if he was into guys.* But he loved to smoke so it seemed reasonable. Mine was smaller, maybe a foot high or so. Very erect penis to smoke out of.
I was 21 or so, travelling with my parents over Christmas. They were heading on to Chile so gave me essentially a big bag of individually-wrapped presents for their friends, asking me to take them home and hold onto them. I get to customs in Toronto - solo white college guy coming from Peru. Obviously they ask me what's in the big immigrant bag I have. I say it's a bunch of presents, they glance in and just see a bunch of small individually wrapped items. A little suspicious, so they ask me to grab one and unwrap it.
My hand goes it, I pull something out...and I can feel that it's the penis-bong. I'm holding it in my hand at customs, and I definitely fit the profile of drug-importer. Clearly I can't put it back and try a new item. So I hand over with this resigned look on my face, when they ask me to step into a private room for a longer discussion I can't say anything but "yeah, yeah, I figured."
Stupid penis gifts. They lead to problems.
*I acknowledge that this sounds pretty bad of me. It made sense in our context, and the gift was appreciated as a joke.

I say it's a bunch of presents, they glance in and just see a bunch of small individually wrapped items. A little suspicious, so they ask me to grab one and unwrap it.
My hand goes it, I pull something out...and I can feel that it's the penis-bong. I'm holding it in my hand at customs, and I definitely fit the profile of drug-importer. Clearly I can't put it back and try a new item. So I hand over with this resigned look on my face, when they ask me to step into a private room for a longer discussion I can't say anything but "yeah, yeah, I figured."
Stupid penis gifts. They lead to problems.
*I acknowledge that this sounds pretty bad of me. It made sense in our context, and the gift was appreciated as a joke.

This is hilarious, looking at all these things trying so hard not to look like penises, and failing deliciously.

Nice try, but they all have a delicious creamy filling, right?

Don't leave us hanging, Lemurrhea. Did they confiscate the dong-bong, or did they let you keep it?

Now, call me suspicious, but I think this is just basically a front for Big Hen.
I mean all the links go to Bachelorette.com.
Holly probably works for them.

From the home page of the site:
PenisPans.com has a sponsor, Bachelorette.com Of all of the bachelorette party sites,
bachelorette.com seems to be the best place to buy a penis cake pan.

I once lived with some artistic folks that had a rather large carved weed pipe. A large, pink pipe. A large pink penis pipe. ... It was intentionally very awkward and suggestive.
I think "suggestive" is probably reserved for situations where you can still plausibly say "no, this isn't necessarily a giant pink dong that you're putting your mouth on," right? Because that pipe sounds less like it's suggesting something and more like it's just straight up telling it.

Faint of Butt: Oh they let me keep it, no problem importing a bong as long as there aren't any drugs.
However, let's just say their attempts to ensure that I had no drugs makes the fact that you asked me rather eponysterical.

Just goes to show :
You can take the cake out of the penis pan,
but you can't take the penis (pan) out of the cake

I can see why you might have one penis pan. But two?

You know, I'm really not one to find the phallic in everything, but I've never understood how anyone could buy this tequila with a straight face. That's expensive liquor too! Why would you put it in that ridiculous bottle?! Why would you pay that much for pink tequila?!

You know how some single-link posts are kind of 'meh'? Not this one. Thanks, I needed this.
