Is there a new baby boy on the way? Time to celebrate! And one fun way to do that is with a memorable baby shower cake. There are so many cake ideas beyond the plain old white sheet cake with blue piping nowadays. Have some fun getting creative or perusing Pinterest for an amazing idea that the bakery can replicate. BUT ... before looking around, take a peek at this roundup of baby shower cake fails -- and take note of all the creepy cakes not to serve the guests. 

Clearly, many people out there feel the need to make baby shower cakes a little too memorable, and not always in the way they intend. In turn, we get cakes that are creepy, sad, inappropriate, or just all out disasters. Seriously! Anyone who thinks childbirth itself belongs on a baby shower cake should probably just step awake from the flour and sugar now. 

Other things that don't belong on a baby shower cake? Blood, forceps, poop (even if it's really chocolate), placentas, or disembodied pregnant torsos. Sorry, we had to go there, but this lineup of cakes will make it crystal clear why it was necessary. 

For anyone who wants to laugh, cringe, or just know what NOT to do with a baby shower cake if you're giving birth to a boy (or like EVER), check out these photos of the most bizarre baby shower cakes no one ever asked for!

"It a boy!" Hope the bakery's cake making is better than their grammar.

Dirty Diaper + Cake

If you're having a baby, you must be dying for a slice of dirty diaper cake, right? Wrong! Just let the mom-to-be have a slice of regular old chocolate cake already.

Jelly Belly

It's two treats in one: cake and gelatin ... with a creepy baby suspended inside. Thanks, but no thanks.

Whoops Baby

We can certainly appreciate the humor on this baby shower cake. We just hope the mom-to-be could too.

Sperm Cake, Anyone?

Okay, so putting the baby boy's name on the "winning" sperm, along with blue frosting, is a clever gender reveal. Appetizing though? Not so much.

It's a Boy (Sort Of)

We're not sure what's going on here, but our best educated guess from this angle is it looks like a bunch of baby parts half-covered by a fondant blanket. Folks, if you're going to include a baby on your cake, make sure it's whole, alright?

This baby shower cake was so graphic, censorship bars were put in place to protect the innocent.

For these parents, the excitement of having a baby clearly can't hold a candle to cheering for the UT Longhorns.

Sonogram Sweets

Don't get us wrong, sonograms are wonderful things ... just not smeared onto a baby shower cake torso.

Those Nails!

What's up with those red, white, and blue nails? Is mom a fan of manicures and the good old U.S.A.? Is the baby being born near the Fourth of July? Whatever the reason, it's weird.

Take a Bite Out of...

So do you start by chomping off the baby's head, or bite into his butt? We think we'll pass on all of the above.

Monkey Business

Is this a monkey or a hairy baby boy?

Sleepy Head

Sorry, but we don't think he's done cooking. Let's pop this baby back in the oven.

And It's an ... Alien?

This lucky mom is giving birth to a boy alien. Er, congratulations!

And the Winner Is...

Sperm cupcakes swimming toward a cake sporting a huge egg orb, topped by the winning sperm saying "bitches"? Conception is not a competition.

It Ain't Easy Bein' Green

Green was an interesting color choice for the frosting here ... although it just makes it look like Mom's giving birth to swamp monster.

Umbilical Cord, Anyone?

Because the umbilical cord is the tastiest part! And because NO.

Anyone like a slice of baby bootie with a side of placenta? Anyone? Anyone?

Whyyyyyyy is this scary demon baby Ethan on a cake, on a TV cake?

That stare-y zombie bear just freaks us out.

Up in Arms

Yes, a belly-and-boob-torso cake trend is creepy, but adding droop arms just makes it creepier.

Delicious Prince

Nobody wants to eat a sleeping baby. And the fact that it's a crowned prince doesn't make him anymore appetizing.

Baby's Out!

Enough with the cakes depicting babies popping out of mom's bellies. Childbirth is frightening enough as it is, folks. No mom-to-be needs to think about that at her baby shower.

Baby Bling

What's up with this baby? He's all blinged out and ready to smoke a cigar -- as soon as he's done with his pacifier.

Poor Baby

This baby does not look like a "sweet little pea." His head looks like a deflated, flesh-colored balloon.

Ready or Not...

The thing is, we are NOT ready at all to eat this cake, which comes off more like a scene out of horror flick than a celebration of life.

Fallopian Tube, Anyone?

This reminds us of 3rd grade sex ed ... not something we necessarily want to be reminded of at a baby shower.

We Want Out!

Clearly this mom is having twin boys, but if her pregnancy feels as painful as this cake looks, we're pretty sure she's over it.
