When Bakers Write Accidental Romance: A Cake Wrecks Novel

National Read a Romance Month is nearly over, minions, but who has time to read a whole romance novel? NO ONE THAT'S WHO. So here, let's zip through a quick & torrid story on these cakes, instead.

This is the setup of how innocent and sweet our protagonist is.

... and so clumsy! Because that's adorable!

BUT THEN:

You know what that means.

Did I mention this is a historical fiction?

With vampires?

Now she has a new job in a new city! WHATEVER SHALL THIS SWEET INNOCENT CLUMSY BINKI BARISTA DO?

Well dang. Pace yourself, girl.

And then, one day:

Enter... the leprechaun vampire.

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2, COMING THURSDAY!

 Thanks to Samantha V., Chris S., Lydia, Juanita, Nickie B., Kris M., Joan N., & Emma D. for the start of what I'm sure will be a most romantical adventure.

The Eyes Have It

It's National Eye Exam Month, guys! So how 'bout we give the old peepers a check up?

First, read the following aloud:

[scribbling on clipboard] Good, good....

Now these:

Hmm, not so good.

Let's try something else: read these numbers from right to left:

Excellent.

Now, find the fly.

Very good! Hard to believe the baker missed that.

Next let's test your visual pain tolerance. Tell me, which of these hurts more to look at?

A.

Or B.

Innnnteresting.

And finally, how many fingers am I holding up?

Good news, your eyes are fine! 
But these bakers may want to get their heads examined.

Thanks to Judy M., Miranda N., Amanda L., Ellin P., Wes T., Elissa R., Kimberly L., Spring P., & Claudia P. for seeing what we did there.

And for those of you who happen to wear glasses: I just found the most fabulous flamingo holder, omigosh:
