Wedding Missed Marks, #637

Bethany wanted her wedding cake to be a flight of fancy:

...but instead, we think her baker just winged it:

Melissa, on the other hand, envisioned something with a little more... trunk space:

:D

But ended up with something barking mad:

"Now, make like a tree... and TRY TO LOOK LIKE A TREE."

Muna wisely went with something simple, sleek, and classic:

She figured it'd be much harder to mess this up.

And she was right!

Yes, you might say her baker really rose to the occasion:

...of totally wrecking it up.

Thanks to Bethany M., Melissa G., & Muna J. for taking her lumps and living to tell the tale.

Hey, speaking of roses (not all these segues can be gold, alright?), THIS IS SO COOL:

 Immortal Roses

They're real roses perfectly preserved in a pretty metal gift box - which comes inside another gift box, which is then put in a shipping box and then mailed to you, so I suspect Yzma's involvement somehow. BONUS. They also come in gold and with lots more pretty colors! (The red and gold is totally Beauty and the Beast.)

And from my other blog, Epbot:

LET'S SEE SOME APPROPRIATELY DISTANCED EXCITEMENT

It's St. Patrick's day, minions, and as I look out there, I can practically read the excitement on your faces.

Oh, are these not yours? My bad. 

Now, obviously our St. Paddy celebrations will have to be curtailed this year. Or they will if you're the type who'd normally spend tonight at Irish bars kissing strangers with sprayed-on red hair and light-up shamrock necklaces.

Let me (and the CDC) be perfectly clear on this:

NO KISSING STRANGERS TONIGHT. Irish or otherwise.

Also try not to touch anyone. I'm talking air high-fives only! Here, this rainbow and shamrock will demonstrate:

NO TOUCHIE

We'll just have to find other ways to celebrate St. Paddy's. You know, like painting a rainbow on the backs of our legs & bum so when we sit on the work photocopier it looks like this:

Or was that example too specific?

I suppose we could also craft a pretty floral cowboy hat and display it on a pickle:

NOICE

Or play that game where you send this picture to all your friends with no explanation:

... then see how long it takes them to A) figure out what it says, and B) respond with, "What's THAT supposed to mean?"

(I genuinely had to give up and read the e-mail for the answer. I still only see "Wehty You.")

Well, however you choose to celebrate today, minions, I'd like to leave you with the wise words of a baker who was once asked that age old question, "Can you write 'Happy St. Patrick's Day?' And add a shamrock?"

::nodding solemnly::

Happy Paprack, y'all. HAPPY PAPRACK. 

 Thanks to Patricia D., Margaret C., Mona T., Sarah H., Isabel A., Kenneth K., & Shannon M. for discovering the best new holiday since Falker Satherhood.

Yesterday I showed you the cutest miniature dragon, but hold on to your hats:

Mini Dragon Roaring

There are more, and THEY GET EVEN CUTER. I linked the roaring one because it's my favorite, but all three are in the same listing. So cute, I want to make a terrarium just for these!
