* In the ConcreteBlonde song "Carry Me Away":

* On ''MyNameIsEarl'', Joy and Darnell had an interracial couple on top of their cake (because they are). Oh, and the "cake" was made out of alternating layers of Twinkies and Hostess Cupcakes.

** When Joy was married to Earl, they didn't have a real wedding cake (due to their wedding being a drunken {{Elopement}} in Las Vegas), but Earl ''did'' put on a hairnet and infiltrate a bakery when they got back to Camden, and brought home the top layer of somebody's wedding cake for Joy, complete with generic wedding-cake topper. [[spoiler: The cake gets eaten by Randy when he's drunk and placed on a mound of cat turds, much to the amusement of Earl and the ire of Joy.]]
