Spider-Man And Elsa Walk Into The Millennium Falcon...

Amber's twins were having a birthday, and just so we're clear, by "twins" I mean her actual children. Just covering all the bases for you long-term readers. (FLAAAAASHBAAAAACK.)

Anyhoo, since Amber is one of those awesome moms who doesn't make her kids share a cake, she ordered two. First, this Spider-Man design:

...which ended up looking surprisingly good!

Unless maybe you can read:

Why is "Spiders Man" there?
(Spiders Man says: "I'm not even supposed to be here today.")

I like how the baker combined the D and the A, though. Good space-saver.

Well, we can hope Amber's other cake came out OK, right?

Ohhh, hang on, she ordered which design?

ABANDON HOPE NOW.

::sigh::
Oh, look. Now the mountains are saggy balls with spooge on top.
::bigger sigh::
::that ends with head on keyboard::
::followed by a long moment of silence::

Of course, by now we've seen approximately three metric crap-tons of Frozen wrecks - so let's switch it up a bit and see how Vanessa fared with this new Star Wars design:

Vanessa asked the bakery to make a round version, which they said was no problem.

Uh... Wreckies?

WE HAVE A PROBLEM.

Note Vanessa's hand holding up the cake from behind.

The cherry on top was when the baker who handed her the cake said, "There wasn't any room for decorations," and plopped down a plastic bag with all the ships and stuff in it.

DROID PLEASE.

Thanks to Amber S. & Vanessa B. for wreckin' it by the book.

It's an easy-to-build model (only 19 pieces) that comes with lights and sound effects! Not bad for $23.

Why Is It Always Clowns?

And now, the conclusion of Jen living out her dreams of being a Richard Marx cover band. 

(Wait, can one person be a band? Am I a one-woman-Marx band? Huh. Tell you what, let's skip this discussion and just get on with the rest of the song. Unless you missed Part 1 yesterday. Then click here first.)

I took for granted, all the dyes

That I thought would last somehow

I hear the laughter, I sense the fears

Why is it always clowns?

Oh can't you see it, bak'ry

Your old windows are cray-cray

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
They will be wrecked here, waiting for you

For how long it takes,

Until this clown wakes

They will be wrecked here, waiting for you.

[whispers] Waiting for youuuuu.

Thanks to Meg M., Jen V., Laura J., Jeannine A., & Thy D. for that surprisingly creepy turn at the end there. Way to bring it home.

Don't worry, I won't terrify you with any more clowns down here. Instead, how about we go back to our cleaning theme with these adorable dusters?
