STICKY SAVAGES

Minions, today we celebrate the humble cupcake.

Yes, YOU, little guy!

See, what was once merely a paltry single-serving of cake has, under the expertise of today's bakers, become so much more.

.... terrible, I mean. 
It's become so much more terrible.

(That frog has seen things.)

Any idea what these are supposed to be?

Huh. Me, neither.

But I bet they'll still get me banned on Facebook.

 (Don't mention the cream, don't mention the cream, don't mention the cream.)

 I feel like these are trying to tell us something:

I don't know what, exactly, but I do enjoy a good birthdish.

The problem is that cupcakes no longer work alone. Now, the CUPCAKE IS LEGION.

... and also buried under two pounds of frosting while it masquerades as a real cake.

 BUT YOU'RE NOT FOOLING US, you, you... cupcake cakes. [patooey!]

Yes, minions, these roving packs of once civilized cupcakes are now sticky savages bent on our very destruction!

After all, what kind of monsters have this much icing on the OUTSIDE of paper wrappers? VILE HARBINGERS OF DOOM, that's what kind.

It's unnatural!

It's wrong!

 It's, like, super lumpy!

Doesn't that just tweak your giblets?

Well I'm mad as well, and I'M NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE.

Hold up, is that a SLIMER cupcake cake? [patooey!]
...
...

Ok, bakers, I'll let you slide for another ten years. BUT THAT'S IT.

 

Thanks to Clairance C., Rachel C., Jennifer F., Heather H., Heather K., Traci B., Dina V., Miriam, & Meagon G. & Jesika F. for reminding us who we're gonna call.

And since I’ll take any excuse to shop for Ghostbusters merch, LOOK HOW CUTE THIS SLIMER PLUSH IS:

Sunday Sweets Celebrates Disney Villains!

You know how stores are already stocking Halloween decorations, and on the one hand you're annoyed (because "Sweet Stay Puft, it's still SUMMER!") and on the other hand you're kinda thrilled? (Because "Sweet Stay Puft, it's still Summer.")

 I feel you, my sweaty boos, and today I'm here to feed your spooky side...

With fabulous Disney villain cakes!
See, not Halloween, but just enough on the dark side to help us remember cold chills are on the way.

Aw yeeeeeeah.

 Major props for this Ursula; it's so rare to see buttercream transfers these days! And who noticed the Hidden Mickey bubbles? 

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall:

Who's the tastiest dish of all?

Ohhh, good choice. 

  (When you can't choose just one!)

A gravity-defying Evil Queen:

The spilling "poison" is clever!

Ever notice how many Disney villains wear purple?

(Marcy's Cake Designs, Texas)

This design is incredible, I love Snow's cottage in the middle!

Here's a villain we don't see much:

Dr. Facilier!

That glowing green tier is amaaaazing, plus the shading in the skull eyes.

And hey, I spy another hidden Mickey!

Anyone else ever feel sorry for Captain Hook?

(Zavr Zlama, Serbia)

I mean, he's perpetually hounded by annoying children AND a man-eating crocodile. Dude's got it rough. 

I think getting older makes us sympathize with more cartoon villains, though. Or at least the ones with great fashion sense.

But hey, why choose?

Get you a cake that can do both.

(Yes, that's the same cake!)

And finally, BONUS VILLAIN COOKIES:

Look at all those incredible details! These are themed to Disney Descendants, which I really should watch some day.

And I guess it's true, gang: the Dark Side *DOES* have cookies.

Happy Sunday!

This is the perfect post to introduce y'all to one of my all-time favorite artists, Miss Mindy! She makes the most SPECTACULAR Disney Villain figures:

Each figure has a light-up scene in her skirt, which is ALSO sculpted in 3D. Ahhh-MAZING. Check them out on Amazon here: Snow Queen, Ursula, Maleficent, Queen of Hearts.
