Misty Water-Colored Mammories!

It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's...

Close enough.

Ever see a cupcake cake (patooie!) and have the overwhelming urge to pick up the box and just shake it?

Well, if you do, not to worry; the store can still get $4.49 out of it:

For when you need to show someone how much you don't care.

Btw, does that remind anyone else of those funny MRI photos?

You must admit, the resemblance is uncakey.

There's a moral to this next one:

"If at first you don't succeed in black icing, try again in the white icing."

"And if you still don't succeed with the white icing, then put a bunch of eyeballs around the edge to distract everyone."

Today I Learned: There's a type of cake called the "Paris-Brest." (It's true. I googled it.) The Paris Brest has a big hole in the middle of it and is filled with cream, and if you think I'm snickering while typing this, then you are absolutely right.

However, there's no A in "Brest," so you're not - I repeat, NOT - allowed to find it funny.

Unless the bakery does this:

Talk about a perfect Paris.

Hey, speaking of breasts...

If mammary serves, that's supposed to be Harley Quinn. 
Guess the baker must have been a real Joker.

Oh hey, and if you like that last cake, you can also get it as an apron!

Harley Quinn Apron

It does have less boobs, though. ;)

Of COURSE I'm Small Enough To Ride A Bald Eagle

Minions, today I'm here to talk to you about strategic thinking.

But that's boring, so lets call it STRATEGERY instead.

You see, thinking ahead and forming a plan are at the very heart of the rough-and-tumble world of cake decorating.

Observe:

[squinting dramatically] STRATEGERY.

How do you make your message stand out?

[whispering] Strategery

 How do you recover from mistakes?

STRAR… Satr... Strategery?

How do you make sure you ice EVERY SINGLE cupcake?

You open your dang eyes, ya jackwagon.

But also, strategery.

 And finally, for the customers: 

How do you guarantee a cake wreck?

You had one at "phone order." :D

STRAAAAATEEEEGERYYYYYY

Thanks to Lisa, Stormie J., Tarilynn G., Stefanie P., & Julie C. for introducing us all to a new word.

And for those of you who now have an eye-twitch for all the times I butchered the word "strategy" in this post, a gift!
