Product Information

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.

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? Maybe if Shrek was put in a wind tunnel he’d look like this. But he hasn’t been, and doesn’t look like this. I have no further comment. 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! 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 more like it. This actually looks like Shrek (if you can’t tell, just compare it to the Shrek fairy cakes orbiting Shrek Prime). He’s almost too expressive though, in an ‘uncanny valley’ kind of way. Haunting.

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. 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!

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. All right, all right, calm down. It's not so bad. You're not that ugly... well, you are. I ain't gonna lie, you ARE ugly. But you only look like this at night, Shrek's ugly 24/7! 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? 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. 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!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!

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. Shrek: [to Donkey] WHY are you following me?! Donkey: I'll tell you why. [sings] Cause I'm all alone. Something’s just clearly gone wrong here. It barely looks like anything, let alone Shrek. A cake that has truly gone wrong. Oh, you both have LAYERS. Oh. You know, not everybody like onions. CAKE! Everybody loves cake! Cakes have layers!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. 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!
