Research and development (R&D) by UK companies is being actively encouraged by Government through a range of tax incentives. The government views investment in research and development ('R&D') as a key to economic success. It is therefore committed to encouraging more smaller and medium sized ('SME') companies to claim R&D tax relief.
The incentives are only available to companies and include:
- increased deduction for R&D revenue spending and
- a payable R&D tax credit for companies not in profit.
The government is committed to improving access to R&D highlights the need for more SME companies to understand what relief is available and how the process of claiming tax relief works. Recent changes to R&D scheme rates have increased the relief available so a clear understanding is needed to ensure that companies are aware of how the tax rules work.
What are the tax reliefs available for SME companies?
A company can claim enhanced deductions against its taxable profits for expenditure which is qualifying R&D expenditure. The amount of the enhancement has increased over the years. The rate was 125% for expenditure incurred before 31 March 2015 and has increased to 130% from 1 April 2015. This amount is in addition to the actual expenditure (ie a 230% total deduction from 1 April 2015). R&D enhanced relief represents an additional corporation tax reduction of 24.7% of the expenditure incurred.
If the R&D claim creates a tax loss, then the company may be able to surrender the loss for a cash repayment. This is 14.5% for expenditure incurred on or after April 2014. A surrendered loss could therefore give a repayment of up to 33.35% of the expenditure.
Where the company incurs qualifying R&D expenditure before it starts to trade, it can elect to treat 230% of that expenditure as a trading loss for that pre-trading period. The pre-trading loss created by the R&D relief can then be surrendered, as above, which could provide much needed cash flow for new companies.
Qualifying R&D capital expenditure incurred by a company would be eligible for 100% research and development allowance. Details of this allowance are not provided in this summary.
Example of R&D claimA company has adjusted net profits of £50,000 before an R&D claim and allowable R&D expenditure of £70,000. The enhanced claim is therefore £70,000 x 130% = £91,000. Deducting this from the adjusted profits gives a loss of £41,000. The company decides to surrender this loss for a cash repayment. The amount they would receive is £41,000 x 14.5% = £5,945. |
Research and Development Expenditure Credit scheme (RDEC)
R&D relief under the SME scheme is not available if the R&D project has had the benefit of a grant or subsidy. There may, however, be an alternative claim available to the company. This is known as the Research and Development Expenditure Credit scheme (RDEC). RDEC allows the SME to claim a taxable credit of 11% of eligible expenditure. As this amount is taxable it is known as an 'above the line' credit. The government has announced an increase in the rate of the R&D expenditure credit which applies from 11% to 12% where expenditure is incurred on or after 1 January 2018. The credit received is used to settle corporation tax liabilities of the current, future or prior periods subject to certain limitations and calculations. Where there is no corporation tax due the amount can be used to settle other tax debts or can be repaid net of tax.
The RDEC relief is also available to an SME for expenditure incurred on R&D that is contracted to it by a large company.
Qualifying projects
R&D relief can only be claimed by companies that have incurred expenditure on qualifying R&D projects that are relevant to the company's trade. A project should address an area of scientific or technological uncertainty and be innovative. The innovation needs to be an improvement in the overall knowledge in the relevant field of research, not just an advancement for the company. Qualifying projects could include those which:
- increase the life of a battery
- create a new type of material in an item of clothing
- develop new spark plugs for use in an existing engine.
An important point to appreciate is that the activity does not have to create something completely new from scratch. It could include:
- developing a product that exists but where there is some technological uncertainty which can be improved
- making an improvement to a product or process eg exploring new cost effective materials which will allow a product to perform better.
Companies should document the uncertainties and planned innovation at the start of a project to provide evidence to support an R&D claim.
Relevant activities on R&D
Once the company is comfortable that R&D is taking place, then the next step is to identify the activities of the business that relate to the R&D activity.
There are essentially two types of activities:
- those that contribute directly to achieving the advancement
- certain activities that indirectly contribute to achieving the advancement.
Examples of direct activities are:
- scientific or technological planning
- scientific or technological design, testing, and analysis
- activities which design or adapt software, materials or equipment.
Examples of indirect activities are:
- information services eg preparation of R&D reports
- indirect supporting services eg maintenance, security, clerical
- ancillary services eg paying staff, leasing laboratories and equipment.
- Indirect activities would all have to be undertaken for the R&D project.
Once the project begins to be involved in the production process, any R&D activities are treated as having stopped as development has finished. It is therefore beneficial for companies to keep a timeline of activities and their purposes to detail when the business starts to move into the production phase and therefore optimise their claims.
Types of expenditure
Qualifying expenditure which is incurred on activities which are either directly or indirectly related to the R&D project fall into different categories. These are as follows:
- staffing costs
- software
- expenditure on consumable or transformable materials
- costs of work done by subcontractors and externally provided workers
- costs of clinical trial volunteers.
To be eligible, expenditure must be revenue in nature and paid by the time that the R&D claim is accepted. This means any accruals for expenditure have to be monitored carefully after the year end to make sure that they are paid and not written back to profit.
Further detail on some of these categories is provided below.
Staffing costs
The staff costs include employees and director staff costs ie salaries, employer pension contributions, employers' NIC but not non-cash benefits-in-kind. Where an employee or director only spends part of their time on an R&D project then the costs are apportioned. The relevant staff are those involved in the directly and indirectly related activities highlighted above.
The indirect activity list included categories for 'supporting' and 'ancillary' services. The staff who perform these services should be providing supporting or ancillary services for the R&D project and not for the other people who are directly involved in the R&D project.
- The salary costs of a maintenance worker working full time on maintaining laboratory equipment used for R&D can be claimed.
- The salary costs of an accountant keeping a record of the maintenance work done including the laboratory maintenance cannot be claimed.
If directors are taking dividends from the company rather than salaries it may be more beneficial to change this for any directors involved in R&D.
Consumable transformable materials
Materials that are consumed or transformed in the R&D activity are eligible expenditure. Items included would have to be items which were consumed or transformed so that they were no longer usable in their original form. This would therefore include:
- water
- power
- fuel
- a chemical substance which is transformed
- an electrical component.
For expenditure on or after 1 April 2015, any consumables or transformable materials that are included in a product that is sold, transferred or hired out will not be qualifying expenditure for R&D relief.
Costs of work subcontracted out and externally provided workers
Where the SME subcontracts qualifying R&D work to a subcontractor, the SME can claim a deduction for the cost of the subcontractor work. The amount that can be claimed depends on whether the SME is connected to the subcontractor but generally it is 65% of qualifying costs. Similar rules apply to externally provided workers.
Methods of claiming tax relief
Companies can claim R&D tax relief in the tax return for the period when the expenditure is charged in the accounts of the company. HMRC have specialist offices which are able to offer advice on R&D claims.
Further support for businesses
A number of measures have been announced in the Autumn Budget 2017 to support business investment in R&D including:
- a pilot for a new Advanced Clearance service for R&D expenditure credit claims to provide a pre-filing agreement for three years
- a campaign to increase awareness of eligibility for R&D tax credits among SMEs
- working with businesses that develop and use key emerging technologies to ensure that there are no barriers to them claiming R&D tax credits.

The Lamb's Companions.* 1Then I looked and there was the Lamb standing on Mount Zion,* and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.a 2I heard a sound from heaven like the sound of rushing water or a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps. 3They were singing [what seemed to be] a new hymn before the throne, before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn this hymn except the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been ransomed from the earth.b 4These are they who were not defiled with women; they are virgins* and these are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been ransomed as the firstfruits of the human race for God and the Lamb.c 5On their lips no deceit* has been found; they are unblemished.d
The Three Angels.* 6Then I saw another angel flying high overhead, with everlasting good news* to announce to those who dwell on earth, to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. 7He said in a loud voice, "Fear God and give him glory, for his time has come to sit in judgment. Worship him who made heaven and earth and sea and springs of water."e
8A second angel followed, saying:
"Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great,f
that made all the nations drink
the wine of her licentious passion."*
9A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice, "Anyone who worships the beast or its image, or accepts its mark on forehead or hand, 10will also drink the wine of God's fury,* poured full strength into the cup of his wrath, and will be tormented in burning sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb. 11The smoke of the fire that torments them will rise forever and ever, and there will be no relief day or night for those who worship the beast or its image or accept the mark of its name."g 12Here is what sustains the holy ones who keep God's commandmentsh and their faith in Jesus.*
13i I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on." "Yes," said the Spirit, "let them find rest from their labors, for their works accompany them."*
The Harvest of the Earth.* 14Then I looked and there was a white cloud, and sitting on the cloud one who looked like a son of man, with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand.j 15Another angel came out of the temple, crying out in a loud voice to the one sitting on the cloud, "Use your sickle and reap the harvest, for the time to reap has come, because the earth's harvest is fully ripe."k 16So the one who was sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.
17Then another angel came out of the temple in heaven who also had a sharp sickle. 18Then another angel [came] from the altar,* [who] was in charge of the fire, and cried out in a loud voice to the one who had the sharp sickle, "Use your sharp sickle and cut the clusters from the earth's vines, for its grapes are ripe." 19So the angel swung his sickle over the earth and cut the earth's vintage. He threw it into the great wine press of God's fury.l 20The wine press was trodden outside the city and blood poured out of the wine press to the height of a horse's bridle for two hundred miles.*
* [14:1–5] Now follows a tender and consoling vision of the Lamb and his companions.
* [14:1] Mount Zion: in Jerusalem, the traditional place where the true remnant, the Israel of faith, is to be gathered in the messianic reign; cf. 2 Kgs 19:30–31; Jl 3:5; Ob 17; Mi 4:6–8; Zep 3:12–20. A hundred and forty-four thousand: see note on Rev 7:4–9. His Father's name,foreheads: in contrast to the pagans who were marked with the name or number of the beast (Rev 13:16–17).
* [14:4] Virgins: metaphorically, because they never indulged in any idolatrous practices, which are considered in the Old Testament to be adultery and fornication (Rev 2:14–15, 20–22; 17:1–6; cf. Ez 16:1–58; 23:1–49). The parallel passages (Rev 7:3; 22:4) indicate that the 144,000 whose foreheads are sealed represent all Christian people.
* [14:5] No deceit: because they did not deny Christ or do homage to the beast. Lying is characteristic of the opponents of Christ (Jn 8:44), but the Suffering Servant spoke no falsehood (Is 53:9; 1 Pt 2:22). Unblemished: a cultic term taken from the vocabulary of sacrificial ritual.
* [14:6–13] Three angels proclaim imminent judgment on the pagan world, calling all peoples to worship God the creator. Babylon (Rome) will fall, and its supporters will be tormented forever.
* [14:6] Everlasting good news: that God's eternal reign is about to begin; see note on Rev 10:7.
* [14:8] This verse anticipates the lengthy dirge over Babylon (Rome) in Rev 18:1–19:4. The oracle of Is 21:9 to Babylon is applied here.
* [14:10–11] The wine of God's fury: image taken from Is 51:17; Jer 25:15–16; 49:12; 51:7; Ez 23:31–34. Eternal punishment in the fiery pool of burning sulfur (or "fire and brimstone"; cf. Gn 19:24) is also reserved for the Devil, the beast, and the false prophet (Rev 19:20; 20:10; 21:8).
* [14:12] In addition to faith in Jesus, the seer insists upon the necessity and value of works, as in Rev 2:23; 20:12–13; 22:12; cf. Mt 16:27; Rom 2:6.
* [14:13] See note on Rev 1:3. According to Jewish thought, people's actions followed them as witnesses before the court of God.
* [14:14–20] The reaping of the harvest symbolizes the gathering of the elect in the final judgment, while the reaping and treading of the grapes symbolizes the doom of the ungodly (cf. Jl 4:12–13; Is 63:1–6) that will come in Rev 19:11–21.
* [14:18] Altar: there was only one altar in the heavenly temple; see notes above on Rev 6:9; 8:3; 11:1.
* [14:20] Two hundred miles: literally sixteen hundred stades. The stadion, a Greek unit of measurement, was about 607 feet in length, approximately the length of a furlong.
a. [14:1] Jl 3:5; Ob 17; Acts 2:21.
b. [14:3] Ps 33:3; 96:1; 98:1; Is 42:10.
f. [14:8] 18:2–3; Is 21:9; Jer 51:8 / Is 51:17; Jer 25:15–17.
i. [14:13] Mt 11:28–29; 2 Thes 1:7; Heb 4:10.

Fear Factor, CW Style
Friday, April 3, 2009
Imagine how much better the show would have been, though, if they'd substituted the following cakes for the gross foods challenge. It wouldn't have been that much easier on the contestants, and seeing their expressions when they got a pleasant surprise as opposed to a sticky/wriggly one would have been awesome.
Oh, and in case this intro hasn't been warning enough, guys, here's a tip: PUT THE FOOD DOWN. AND THE COFFEE. AND THAT PRICELESS MING DYNASTY VASE. (Dude, what are you doing carrying that around, anyway?)
First up, here's looking at ewe, kid.
Eva G., for some reason the phrase "bubblegum tongue" from that John Mayer song keeps coming to mind. (And now every time you hear that song, you will think of this cake. That is my gift to you. [bowing])
Or if you'd prefer to live high on the hog, you can always pig out on this guy:
Looks like someone brought home the bacon. Hey Cattie P., way to ham it up!
Hey, where are you all going? I'm not done yet! Ok, ok, no more puns - promise.
This one looks kinda crunchy:
Stephanie N., I don't care how artistically done this sucker is - I'd still stomp on him in a pinch. (Assuming he was less than an inch long, of course. Otherwise, Jooooohhn!!!)
And lastly, let's finish up with a little seafood. (Although for some of you, this will mean seeing all the food you ate for breakfast.)
[lower lip trembling] Must. Keep. Swallowing.
From the short bursts of eye contact I was able to make with this guy before the dry heaving began, I think I decided it was a catfish. And as for those green things - well, it helps me to keep the bile at bay if I tell myself they're grapes. So we're going with that, ok, Joanna B.? Don't bother telling me they're fish eggs, or catfish brains, or the prepubescent larvae of a water-dwelling grindylow: honestly, I don't want to hear it.

Ewwww. The catfish one, I thought those WERE grapes. I wondered why someone would put grapes on a fish cake, then I read your comments and... YUCK!
You know, that big head was shockingly detailed. If they could do that kind of work, why couldn't they make an apple instead of using a strawberry, hmm? - April 3, 2009 at 9:34 AM
- joyce said...
Grapes. Looks like grapes to me. I did not know fish eat grapes. Pretty purple fish, but as a cake? Ewww. No thanks.
And I count over 62 candles surrounding the lobster crunchy cake. Maybe they were going to smoke the cake? or broil it? - April 3, 2009 at 9:37 AM
- Half Assed Kitchen said...
The goat head looks like it was smothered in paste. Which might appeal to a few six-year-old boys, I guess, but not to me.

that sheep.
will haunt me.

i demand you pay for the psychological damage that has occurred as well as the body guard i will need every night to check under the bed to make sure it's not there.
waiting for me.
being all... no eyeballed and such. - April 3, 2009 at 9:39 AM
yuck, what are the sticks around the scorpion/ lobster?

The catfish one is what nightmares are made of.

There is nobody else on the face of the earth who can make me laugh this hard this early in the morning.
On with critique.
Holy cow those are ugly. I may never eat seafood again. At least not purple seafood. - April 3, 2009 at 9:44 AM
Hey all,
So being from the great state of Maine, I can tell y'all that lobsters don't have large, curving stinger tails.
This, my friends, is a scorpion.
john - April 3, 2009 at 9:45 AM
Wow, utterly revolting. I am very glad I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I have so many comments struggling to get out, but I cannot find the words. Or maybe that's just the bile surging up from my stomach....
- April 3, 2009 at 9:46 AM
The sheep could be fun to put in somebody's bed...oh wait that was a horse, wasn't it?
The scorpion I absolutely hate having lived in the southwest my whole life. I really despise those little guys and this big one just makes my skin crawl.
As for the last one, it's funny you mention the grindylow because that's sort of how I pictured them...much like an ugly overgrown catfish. - April 3, 2009 at 9:46 AM
What no horse heads in bed sheets. You set is incomplete Jen ;-S
WV: heenstr - a Teamster with a harelip - April 3, 2009 at 9:47 AM
These are technically beautifully done (well, except for the chocolate pig...) cakes...but still.
I'm with you - I am going to choose to believe that the catfish is on a layer of grapes. That's what I choose to believe, and you can't make me change it. (bleh.)
My 10-year-old would give up a major internal organ for the scorpion cake, so I guess I can see that *someone* would order it (and it's gorgeous from an artistic standpoint..but a scorpion?).
I live in a country where they friggin eat calves' heads (tete de veau)...but for heaven's sake, it's all rolled so it looks like a roast, and it doesn't LOOK at you, so I truly cannot even begin to fathom WHY the sheep's head cake.
That's just wrong. - April 3, 2009 at 9:49 AM
Ovine or caprine?
The ruminate cake is still
Peerless and unmatched. - April 3, 2009 at 9:50 AM

Are you even sure these are cakes??

By the way, thanks for making me aware of rickrolling. Had not heard of that before, and my life is much more complete now....

My 4-year-old is totally gonna love this posting. I'd have to say the fish was the only one that really grossed me out, even though none of them would be my choice for a cake.

"prepubescent larvae of a water-dwelling grindylow"
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! only you could pull something like that off without batting an eyelash! i almost fell on the floor as salty, vibrating mush because i was crying-laughing so hard at that statement! you so totally rock, jen, love this site!!! - April 3, 2009 at 10:11 AM
- peewee said...
I was like...these aren't THAT bad.
...and then...
gulp...the scorpion whatever that. THAT is when my coffee didn't go down so well. - April 3, 2009 at 10:11 AM
- Laura Dotson-Thomson said...
Mary had a little lamb-cake. It's head was white as fondant. hehehe. The first two actually don'tbother me too much. Yes, they are very odd and I wouldn't want to cut into them (cringe), but I mean they are kinda cute - in a way, without the tongue of course - if you leave them be. That scorpion on the other hand is nasty, and the fish. I don't even eat seafood, and get sick just thinking about it, so cake is not going to change my mind. Especially not that realistic.
I second the vote for grapes. I figured they were just green grapes... - April 3, 2009 at 10:15 AM
I LOVE the sheep's head! I actually ate sheep's head when I was in Namibia (the dish was called "smiley"), and it looked kind of like a broiled version of that cake. I may have to get a version of this cake for my next birthday!
- April 3, 2009 at 10:22 AM

Okay, I woke up with a stomach flu, and felt icky enough, but that fish cake did me in. But I did laugh on my way to unload my breakfast, so, thanks... I think.

Ewwww!!! No tongues!
- April 3, 2009 at 10:23 AM
- neil said...
funny story - totally not related to cake. i was visiting a turkish friend in germany and eating *breakfast* with their family. they brought out a few soups and so i thought i'd try them, not wanting to be ingracious. so, when i asked about the meat in one of the soups, i was told "schaf" (sheep). ok, i can deal with that. then, he said, "zunge". tongue. i almost lost it - upon further inspection, it really did look like sheep tongue, which is not AT ALL like your "bublegum" recreation here :)
- April 3, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Yikes, why does the tip of the left side of the Catfish's tale look like a chicken's head to me? It's freaking me out!
- April 3, 2009 at 10:31 AM
- Unknown said...
Seriously? I NEVER thought a picture of a cake would ever make my stomach turn... The first 3 I was completely able to handle... But that nasty catfish on the bottom? Uhhhhhhh.... I almost had a cleanup on aisle 3! GROOOOSSSS!
DK - April 3, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Congratulations, Jen! You finally grossed me out with Catfish Cake! I have been witnessing the bizzarre and ugly (and laughing my butt off) every morning for quite some time. Never have I been scared to look at a cake twice. But that fish...blrg. Man...my gag cherry has been popped.
....And yet...I'm still laughing. Have you ever heard someone gag and laugh simultaneously?
Love the site, love your commentary! - April 3, 2009 at 10:32 AM
- Sharon said...
I'll give them kudos for artistic achievement, but I don't want to eat them.
Well, I could eat the first one. I have a strong stomach. I'm wary of the rest. I think that might be a goat's head instead of a sheep's head. You're not gonna love me for pointing this out --> But goat head is apparently a common dish in Namibia. It's even served in restaurants there.
In response to the comments about the fish and grapes, I'm thinking it's a reproduction of reproduction of a old painting. Something that was sold as an antique-looking painting to decorate your kitchen like this https://www.1st-art-gallery.com/Pierre-Dupuys/Basket-Of-Grapes.html - April 3, 2009 at 10:32 AM
- Unknown said...
I used to have tiny catfish in my aquarium that spawned all the time... so I instantly recognized the last cake. =] It's a gross topic for a cake, but it makes me miss the little fish babies I managed to save (before their parents ate them) and raise to adulthood. *sigh*
And I agree with Maria, it might not be all that gross, but that sheep head is CREEPY. - April 3, 2009 at 10:37 AM
I was so amused to find a cake made by one of my friends was posted here this morning! I can vouch for Tom by saying the green things surrounding the catfish cake are, indeed, green tea tapioca pearls.
She also made some unsettlingly realistic pig cakes which you can see here:
http://www.theconnoisseurs.com/piggycakes.html - April 3, 2009 at 10:39 AM
I kinda like the fishy cake. That is unless it actually SMELLS fishy. That would just be gross.
- April 3, 2009 at 10:40 AM

I think the scorpion is kind of awesome, but then again I have a thing for arthropodst.

The catfish cake is what happens when noodlers have birthdays.
I can't tell myself those are grapes when I know they're roe!
Can you still hear them, Clarice? Too funny! - April 3, 2009 at 10:41 AM
All I have to say is WHY?!?!?!?! LOL.
WV: matchos - what needs to bet put to these cake-os. :P - April 3, 2009 at 10:42 AM
I could see the scorpion cake for someone whose zodiac sign is Scorpio (as mine is). In fact, I would kind of like it.
The catfish one though - erk. - April 3, 2009 at 10:45 AM
I dunno. That scorpion is actually kinda rad to me.
- April 3, 2009 at 10:48 AM
- Mella said...
Technically they are all good. It's just the chosen real life counterpart that's not cake compatible
- April 3, 2009 at 10:48 AM
The catfish was created by the artist Jennifer Lewis. She even molded the inside to resemble innards. Amazing!
http://www.theconnoisseurs.com/catfishcake.html - April 3, 2009 at 10:50 AM
- AJ said...
Wow Jen, those were AWESOME! And thank you ever so much for making me think about the sheep head everytime I think of John Mayer, not just Body is a Wonderland.
I love this blog and I consitantly refer to it in everyday life now.
Autumn - April 3, 2009 at 10:52 AM
Yeah. I feel that the scorpion is a beautiful piece of artwork that should never have been made into a cake. It's really amazingly sculpted, but I don't want to EAT it. Eep.

I think they're all beautifully done, though it would be wierd to cut into them. But, then, I find beauty in unusual places.
- April 3, 2009 at 11:05 AM
The sheep head I can handle.
The fish and the scorpion...Not so much. Thanks.
I find it amusing that no one mentioned the pig's head... - April 3, 2009 at 11:06 AM

Piggy was most likely made for a renaissance event.

- afterthoughtcomposer said...
it's not often that I actually have to "quickly peek" at the cake before I scroll it madly across my screen and out of view (whilst averting my eyes). Catfish, you win that category.
blech. - April 3, 2009 at 11:16 AM
- Sharon said...
What kind of plate is that under the sheep/goat head?
- April 3, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Mer, I totally agree! The chicken head was the first thing I noticed on the last one. It took me a minute to see it was a catfish (catchickenfish?)
In a word. Ewwwwwwwwww.
WV: poodeade. I suppose that's better than pooalive. - April 3, 2009 at 11:19 AM
I would totally serve the sheep cake for a Saturnalia celebration. Provided, of course, there was a nice gooey raspberry filling....
wv: quota. I think we've now reached our quota on "cakes that make us want to hurl." Among the list are some of the cheeseburger cakes and shiny intestine cakes featured in the past, and now the nasty catfish cake. The fact that someone mentioned that the artist molded the insides to resemble fish innards, while impressive, just makes it worse.... - April 3, 2009 at 11:20 AM
- Laura Dotson-Thomson said...
Why on earth did I click on that piggie link???? Why why why!? That not only looked realistic on the outside, but the internal about had be running to the bathroom! Who would EVER want that!?
Kudos on the realism though. - April 3, 2009 at 11:21 AM
- Justin N. said...
What does it say about me that I wouldn't mind being served any of these cakes?
- April 3, 2009 at 11:21 AM
- V. Nicharico said...
I totally agree with you on the scorpion! The artist did a fantastic job, but it's still a scorpion!! EEK!
- April 3, 2009 at 11:27 AM
The sheep head...
I want to say at least it's well done, but the nostrils/etc look like they're from a horse, and sheep don't have completely black eyes, so it looks like a little-green-men version of a sheep. I'm pretty sure I recall them having irises and pupils, just like goats.
Not that realistic eyes would make it any more appetizing... - April 3, 2009 at 11:28 AM
- jengersnap said...
Oh gawd! I'm not sure I should be proud of having ate my lunch through the entire post without loosing it. But I'm thankful I finished before visiting the site with the catfish innards.
Grossness to the extreme! - April 3, 2009 at 11:46 AM
I checked out the website provided for the catfish, sheep's head, and pig cakes, and although I commend the baker for her creativity and skills I still have to say this:
Why on earth would you try and make the vital organs on the inside as well?
Even with a strong stomach, my head still spun with the thought of cutting into a cake only to have the 'innards' spill out.
If you really want to gross 'em out, just put those photos on here as well... Blech! - April 3, 2009 at 11:46 AM
- Unknown said...
Oh, the catfish is just totally gross. Ugh. No thank you! It looks more like sushi than a cake.
The lamb would be better with out the tongue. I've not seen alot of sheep walking around with their tongues hanging out. Maybe it's a Passover cake?
What do they do with sheep tongue at Passover..(thinking deeply)

Guh! Thank heavens my stomach is empty!
I'm not really fond of making cakes look gross and nasty. X( Have pretty and appetizing somehow gone out of style? :/ - April 3, 2009 at 11:57 AM
Seriously, what is wrong with these people? Why would you do that to a cake, for crying out loud?
- April 3, 2009 at 11:58 AM
I thought the pig cake was kind of cute. At least he looks happy. I just can't get past the sheep head's cold dead eyes.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:08 PM
I think that these cakes are more of the buyer's fault than the decorators... they're pretty well done, just a disturbing subject.
Blegh. - April 3, 2009 at 12:14 PM
I don't think the sheeps head could be a passover cake seeing as you can't EAT cake at passover...
no leavened bread... - April 3, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Ooohhh... stomach churning. That's no bueno.
I guess on the bright side, if I do hurl, maybe my boss'll let me go home early. - April 3, 2009 at 12:29 PM
- TornadoBaby said...
Stomach flu here too... it WAS getting better...
It takes a lot to gross me out, but like many other readers, that catfish did it for me. What was that you were saying about yakking?
Oh, and I personally LOVE your puns! Don't stop! - April 3, 2009 at 12:30 PM
- auschick said...
wow, that last one looks so realistic - i had to do a double take to determine it was cake. my MIL is chinese, so I'm used to seeing whole fish turn up for dinner whenever we visit, so this doesn't really gross me out too much...
- April 3, 2009 at 12:33 PM
Wow, those are all really impressive. I don't know why anyone ever request a head for a cake, but you have to admit, the bakers did a good job. Disturbing, yes, but technically successful.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:35 PM
It's official, I'm a freak.
I LOVE these cakes. The piggy looks like it's made out of solid chocolate to me (I couldn't hate ANYTHING that's made out of solid chocolate) The scorpion is beautiful--I wouldn't mind having a little version of him to wear as a necklace. The detail on the catfish is amazing. - April 3, 2009 at 12:38 PM
- IslandPearl said...
I think the noses were way grosser. Personal opinion.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Odd that you should have cake #4 on. Yesterday I just checked a book out of the library called Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin. So far it hasn't mentioned cake, though.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:39 PM
- Furry Kitchen said...
The fish cake is just wrong!
By the way, I think it might actually be a monkfish.
If you go here: http://www.fishingkites.co.nz/newsletters/newsletter96.htm and scroll down to where it says "Strange fish", you'll see a picture of a monkfish. Frighteningly close to this cake...without the grapes. - April 3, 2009 at 12:41 PM
- Unknown said...
Yeah, the lobster/scorpion is kind of wild. Well done, though.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:41 PM
Hahahaha! What weird and random cakes. You've really got to wonder what the reasoning behind them is.
- April 3, 2009 at 12:42 PM
- Kae said...
I actually would eat the scorpion cake...maybe the catfish. See, I have this rule that if there's something exotic on the menu and I haven't tried it and it isn't idiotically expensive or risky to my health...so, yeah. I'd eat those.
But the head cakes? Uh-uh. Brains are not on the list of things I'm willing to eat--not even cakey brains. I mean, how embarrassing to admit "I got Mad Cow disease from eating a cake shaped like a goat's head"...nope. I'll play it safe on those. - April 3, 2009 at 12:43 PM

YIKES!!!! I laughed at all of them, until I got to the last one, then I just wanted to puke. Like you, I barely was able to look @ it, but my first thought about the green balls was that they were supposed to be peas... either way, I remain squeamish/unsettled by that photo. If it were a real fish I don't even think it would have bothered me the way it does knowing that it's a CAKE!
- April 3, 2009 at 1:11 PM
The scorpion cake is actually very nicely detailed. It would be a great figure in a scorpion museum.
And, to John (Jen's hubby), I very much appreciate your correct use of "y'all" instead of "ya'll". Bravo. - April 3, 2009 at 1:16 PM

[gag] WHY wou-[gag]-would anyone make [urp] such a [running off to the bathroom]...
Seriously. Sick. I have a "sympathetic gag reflex" too. For some reason it came up in conversation last night at my friend's birthday party, of all places. NOT because of a nasty catfish cake or scorpion cake...in fact, it had nothing to do with the cake at all.
They all look too real for comfort.
(Oh, and that "bubblegum tongue" line still makes me laugh. Good thing I never really cared for John Mayer to begin with.) - April 3, 2009 at 1:22 PM

Ohhhhh, love the scorpion. And it DOES look crunchy...quite a feat for a cake.
- April 3, 2009 at 1:24 PM
- Unknown said...
That's beyond disgusting! Those are cakes?! Why, for the love of Pete, would you give someone a cake like that?! The scorpion freaked me out, the sheep/goat was plain disturbing, the pig was in poor taste, but the fish! The fish gave me the heebie jeebies - a cake shaped like fish!
Oh, and is it just me, or does that goat/sheep's head is surrounded by some kind of gelatinous substance? ::shudders:: - April 3, 2009 at 1:28 PM
The green things are more likely to be peas. In a pinch, they could be olives.

If you're going to eat fish, just eat fish! Don't make a cake and pretend. Ick!

Yummy. Not only did I eat my lunch while looking at these pictures, but I also went to the links that showed the other cakes that had been created and the insides of them. I have a *really* strong stomach and I'm game to try just about any kind of food once. The only thing that makes me ill is the smell and sound of someone vomiting so I'm glad this website isn't a full-sensory experience, otherwise I'd have been right there alongside the rest of you while you were getting ill.
- April 3, 2009 at 1:44 PM
That fish cake seriously makes me want to hurl all over my printer. The others, although slightly mortifying and reminiscent of Steel Magnolias, are pretty cool. I still probably wouldn't eat them in the fear that I would get a slice of guts though. I hope the cake isn't velvet inside.

You couldn't stomp on the scorpion, he is surrounded by nails. Which is what I always ask for as trim for my scorpion cake!

That last one is absolutely, positively disgusting...and I think I may suffer PTSD symptoms from seeing it.
As for the scorpion one, also gross, but was that by any chance for someone whose sign is Scorpio? If so, I have to say that is pretty clever. Not nice to look at, but clever. And different. - April 3, 2009 at 2:12 PM
- Scritzy said...
Maybe there's a reason the candles around the scorpion cake look like nails. Don't step on the nails and you won't step on Scorpio here.
The catfish cake has now caused me to have the song "Fish Heads" running through my brain. Gee, thanks a lot. - April 3, 2009 at 2:34 PM
- Anna said...
Wow, this one is intense!
Strangely enough, I have to admit I am slightly enamored with the scorpion. It's magnificently done! Okay, maybe the - I'm assuming that's what it is - rusty sheet rock it's standing on could've been done better, but I really like that luminescent, golden shell this scorpion has. I would love to eat him. Also because that's about the closest I would ever get to eating bugs. And then I could tell myself I've kinda sorta had bugs at least once in my life and be all cool.

I also don't find these cakes at all disgusting. I mean, all of these things do get eaten somewhere in the world (maybe not scorpions, but you never know). Human body parts? Eeeuuch. Fish, sheep, pigs? Just funny.

I think you have just demonstrated a need for a whole new cakewreck category - "Cakes That Technically Aren't Wrecks But Make You Wonder Why The H*** Someone Wanted This In The First Place."

None of these are wrecks! They're amazing.

I am trully stunned by what some people come up with! I would not only pass on eating the cake at these parties, I don't think I would trust any of the food being served! Gross!
- April 3, 2009 at 3:18 PM
I'm another one who isn't grossed out by these. The sheep is hilarious, the piggy looks good and is perfect for a luau/Hawaii theme party, and the catfish is just silly, but cute.
The scorpion is amazing and hardly what I'd call a wreck! I'm an arachnophobe (spiders and scorps freak me out big time) but I would totally have a piece of that cake. - April 3, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Oh, and in response to one of the commentors, yes, scorpions are edible. You can buy scorpion lolipops and candy at gift stores here in AZ.

Cake was done for a friend's birthday after a BBQ meat-fest. It was funny to have more "meat" for dessert after the real meat we already chowed down on. For the final presentation, the tomatoe was removed and the piggy was surrounded with strawberries. - April 3, 2009 at 3:49 PM

- April 3, 2009 at 4:07 PM
I'm guessing that the scorpion cake is for a Scorpio. Or someone who really likes them for some other reason. Wow, though. Still made my skin crawl.
And according to the fish-cake site, they aren't grapes -- but don't panic! It's another edible item, green tea tapioca pearls. (They're like gummy candy, and quite good.)

- Anya said...
Hehe, the cake selection begs for Andrew Zimmern! But seriously, somehow I didn't get too grossed out by any of these cakes. Even the pig - well, wouldn't be my choice of a cake, it's kind of ugly, but artistically ugly. The really creepy thing was the deadly pale sheep staring at me with its black alien eyes.
Yay to all the Scorpios, wouldn't it be fun to get a cake like that for our birthdays? Yes, we're weird like that! - April 3, 2009 at 4:18 PM
- Procrastinateher said...
Wow, none of those grossed me out that much. Maybe because I remember how gross the ribcage with bleeding organs cake looked or something...
I think the last one should've used glace cherries rather than grapes, that'd be more realistic.
And the strawberry instead of the apple - who knows, obviously commonsense isn't so common anymore. - April 3, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Ew. The last one is the worst.

I think taxidermy is really creepy, so that sheep is high on the "NO" list.
Well, all of them are, really. Although the scorpion one is rather exquisite. It reminds me of "The Scorpion King." =)
Catfish=NO. I HATE tapioca pudding (my mom calls it 'fish-eye pudding', blargh!) but I like boba (bubble) tea with those huge tapioca pearls. Maybe because boba reminds me of mochi, a Japanese treat--a sweet gelatinous cake made with rice flour. Almost like a non-sugary version of Turkish Delight...my favorite is 'an mochi', filled with sweet red bean paste. Mmmmmmm...
However I think it's the clammy purple look to the fish that makes me want to gag. And I thought its tail looked like a chicken too!! 0_0

When I was a kid, I found a small skull in the cow pasture that we kids hiked around in. I wondered what it had been in. Cow? Deer?
That sheep cake reminded me of that! Somehow! =^??^=
And, I made me sort of wonder what the fondant had been draped OVER to give the head such a realistic look of having, well, a bone structure!
I wish the creature had realistic eyes, too, as others have said. Goat and sheep eyes are so fascinating, don't you think? Slitty, horizontal rectangles that look like little mail slots...cool.
I don't feel repelled by these--besides, I'm assuming that they smell and taste like cakes, and not like fish or sheep or scorpions (if scorpions have a smell...and a taste...which they must, but...eewww). - April 3, 2009 at 5:19 PM

You know, I've been reading Cake Wrecks for months now. The crazy baby shower cakes didn't bother me. The morgue cake didn't bother me. The cakes that were covered in icing resembling slime or bodily excretions didn't bother me. The nose cakes yesterday? No biggie.
But that SCORPION CAKE?
I almost threw my laptop. Ergh. :/ - April 3, 2009 at 5:48 PM

...and another thing:
That pig looks entirely too happy for something lying there beheaded. Look at that grin, and the mirthful, squinty-looking eyes. Something's essentially wrong with that. He looks more like the third pig of "The Three Little-" fame --the one who made his house out of bricks. HE had something to be happy about.
This one?

Oh god lol this made me snort with laughter and delight. Haha. And yes the grindylow comment was a total win. The sheep head was honestly scary.

I'd always thought that John Mayer song was really creepy, and that sheep only confirms it. It also makes me think of "Silence of the Lambs" and the horse head in the "Godfather".
I actually like the scorpion and catfish ones, but judging from all the other comments I've read, I'm in the minority. (I should mention also that I'm a student who's had to open up rats in lab in order to get their organs, so my tolerance threshold for biologic parts is pretty high.)

"My 10-year-old would give up a major internal organ for the scorpion cake, so I guess I can see that *someone* would order it (and it's gorgeous from an artistic standpoint..but a scorpion?)."
being a 21 year old nerd who has been known as "The 6 foot 12 year old", I can relate, I thought the scorpion cake was great.
I think the sticks around it, by the way, are candles. And it seemed to be holding the number "60", so it seems it's a birthday cake, for a 60 year old.
that's my kind of geezer. - April 4, 2009 at 3:49 PM

i went on the website and looked at the making of the catfish cake and the piggy cakes, and i guess i have a stronger stomach than i thought, because i wasn't all that grossed out by it. the pig cakes were actually kinda cool, the catfish, ok, that was a bit odd, but not THAT gross. the only thing that i fond unappealing was the chocolate pudding pig liver, the raspberry kidneys, and the jell-o heart of the pig. but even that didn't bug me horribly. huh. :)

Scorpions are ornate, beautiful animals (a lot smoother, sleeker and prettier than their cake version seems to make them out to be) and only a couple of species are at all dangerous. Only terrible people stomp arthropods of any sort.

After living in Arizona for 7 years, I just had my first scorpion in my new house and FREAKED - this scorpion cake is seriously and personally disturbing!! WHO would want a cake like that? (even if my boys wanted something like that I would NEVER order something edible in the shape of a scorpion, cockroach or anything of that type. I'm sure in the AZ desert i can find plenty of the real thing to send to them and then maybe, just MAYBE they will stay out of my house!!

Sarah W - seriously and personally disturbing? Please. A scorpion is a natural animal with a beautiful, sleek appearance, it's not aggressive and few species can seriously harm you. NOBODY should find arthropods ugly or scary, there is absolutely no reason to. Get the hell over it and grow up please.

As the creator of the sheep's head, I am delighted by every comment in this thread and proud to be included with these other freaky cakes. The sheep was for a New Zealand going away party. The design was meant to be sweet, creepy, and a bit dead in the eyes so it sounds like it worked. Wish I could show you all how scary it looked without the fondant, but I tried hard to get that graceful naturalistic bone structure. Subversive cakes unite!

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Engine Diagnostics
Engine diagnostics serve to keep your engine running efficiently. The OBD system is capable of detecting malfunctions before they lower engine performance or cause severe damage. Because of the mandatory OBD system, your automobile is capable of monitoring and diagnosing its own performance. You should have engine diagnostics performed when the "check engine" light comes on. Engine diagnostics will help detect problems early so that minor problems never become major problems. Engine diagnostics also help keep emissions low, and if your engine is malfunctioning, your vehicle might not pass an emissions test. When your "check engine" light turns on, it is time for you to contact us for an engine diagnostics service. Our experienced staff will work hard to get your engine working again properly in no time.
The OBD System, or On-Board Diagnostics System, was originally installed to monitor vehicle emissions, but it also detects problems within the engine. Both OBD I and OBD II systems exist, with OBD II systems becoming the standard in vehicles manufactured after 1996. The OBD is connected to the engine control unit (ECU), which helps your engine run efficiently while keeping emissions low. The OBD can identify and warn the driver of engine malfunction by sending error notifications to the ECU system. The ECU is in charge of several engine processes, including the mixture of air and fuel, emissions, and engine timing. The ECU uses sensors to monitor them or make adjustments. If the ECU detects malfunctions, it triggers the "check engine" light on the dashboard. The OBD system then records the code pertaining to the problem. The code can be accessed by a trained technician through engine diagnostic equipment in order to properly diagnose the issue.
