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?

Donkey: [atop the dragon after she swallows Farquaad] All right, nobody move! I've got a dragon and I'm not afraid to use it! I'm a donkey on the edge! Oh wait, that was my 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.Something’s just clearly gone wrong here. It barely looks like anything, let alone Shrek. A cake that has truly gone wrong. You know what ELSE everybody likes? Parfaits! Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait."? Parfaits are delicious! 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. You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You'retrying to give them a hint, and they won't leave. And there's that big awkward silence you know? Personalisation: Each cake is skilfully finished by our own cake decorators and can be personalised to suit your own celebration or sent as a gift.

Shrek and Donkey are crossing a wooden bridge over a moat of lava] Donkey: Don't look down, keep on movin', don't look down, don't look down, keep on movin', don't look down... [a board under Donkey breaks, prompting Donkey] Shrek, I'm lookin' down! [screams] Oh! The first thing I put on the blank sheet of cake was Donkey’s teeth and Donkey and Shrek eyes. It was made from white rolled out fondant you can buy at Wal-Mart. Or you can make it by adding powered sugar until you can make a ball from your icing. I used a circular baby bottle cap to cut the circles for the eyes and I used the other side of the star tips to cut out the retina part of the eye. I set them down on the cake as a guide for where the rest of the face should go.Donkey, there's no "we", no "our". There's just ME and MY swamp! And the first thing I'm gonna do is build a ten-foot wall around my land. Donkey's owner: [moves Donkey's lips] I can talk. I love to talk! I'm the talkin'est damn thing you ever saw. Captain: Get her outta my sight. Owner: No, no! I swear! He can talk! You cut me deep, Shrek. You cut me very deep just now... You know what, Shrek? I think this whole wall thing is to keep somebody out! Oh, well, I guess that's cool. I mean, I don't know you, and you don't know me, so I guess outside is best, you know. Here I go. Good night.

Fiona: The sooner we get to Duloc, the better! Donkey: Oh, you gonna love it there, Princess, it's beautiful! Fiona: And my groom-to-be Lord Farquaad, what's he like? Shrek: Well, let me put it this way, Princess: men of his stature are in short supply. [chortles, washes his face] Donkey: Yeah! There are those who think little of him! [Shrek and Donkey laugh] Fiona: Stop it. Stop it, both of you! Y'know, you're just jealous that you could never measure up to a great ruler like Lord Farquaad. Shrek: [grins] Maybe. But I'll let you do the "measuring" when you see him tomorrow! Fiona: [suddenly anxious] Tomorrow? Will it really take that long? Shouldn't we set up camp? Shrek: No, that'll take longer. Fiona: But there's... robbers in the woods! Donkey: [tense] Whoa, time out, Shrek! Campin' sure is startin' to sound like a good idea 'round here! Shrek: Hey, come on! I'm scarier than anything we're gonna see in this forest- Fiona: [furious] I need to find somewhere to camp NOW! arriving at Duloc] Shrek: [observing a giant building] So, that must be Lord Farquaad's castle... Donkey: Uh-huh, that's the place. Shrek: Do you think he's maybe compensating for something? I was inspired by the picture of the Shrek trunk for this Shrek cake. I used a 14″ round pan for the bottom, one 8″ round and the middle of a bundt cake (for the tree) and a few cupcakes (just whatever batter you have left from two cake mixes). I cut the top of the tree at an angle for effect. I tried a new buttercream icing that I loved but only recommend if you’re looking for less sugar taste and you use unsalted butter.It's a spell! When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Every night I become this, this horrible ugly beast! I was placed in the tower to await the day when my true love would rescue me. That's why I have to marry Lord Farquaad before the sun sets, and he sees me... like this. But ya gotta have friends... Shrek: Donkey! Stop singing! Well, it's no wonder you don't have any friends. Donkey: Wow! Only a true friend would be that truly honest. Shrek: Listen, little donkey. Take a look at me, what am I? Donkey: Uh... [looks Shrek up and down] Really tall? Shrek: No! I'm an ogre! Y’know, "Grab your torch and pitchforks!" Doesn't that bother you? Donkey: [shakes his head happily] Nope. Shrek: [surprised] Really? Donkey: Really, really. This is my third post now either concerning or referencing Shrek. And that’s obviously not a bad thing at all. Probably the most accurate attempt in this list. However, I doubt a one year old is going to be able to appreciate that fact.

Shrek enters the tournament] Farquaad: What is that? It's hideous! Shrek: Well, that's not very nice. [gestures to Donkey] It's just a donkey. This is gonna be fun! We can stay up late, swappin' manly stories, and in the mornin'... I'm makin' waffles.
