A Reptile Dysfunction

In honor of World Turtle Day this Saturday, let's take a moment to meet some of the lesser known turtle cake varieties.

Because nature is beautiful, people.

 

The Slimy Nope Tail:

Also collects spores, molds, and fungus!

 

Snootless Flipper Swaddles:

They do a mean sloppy swish.

 

The Hardboiled Nubby-Teeter:

The candy coating makes it go down easier.

 

The Majestic Elephant-Pawed Flirpity Floo:

So named for its magnificent flirpity-floos.

 

The Squeaky Noodle Squelcher:

Watch out; they squeak!

Try not to stare.

 

And finally, and most majestic:

The Dong-Headed Stumpy Trunks:

Truly the pokiest of them all.

 

Thanks to Kathryn S., Shannon K., Megan B., Liz K., Kyna H., Jamie L., & Sara M. for really coming out of their shells.

P.S. And for a non-wrecky example: SPARKLE TURTLE

This kit is so cute! I love the different size diamonds, and it's so small that it's perfect for beginners.

Lisa P. wanted her friend's birthday to be a critical success, but we all know how ordering a cake is a roll of the dice:

And finally, Jeff H. writes:

"I have a friend who recently became a US citizen. I went to the bakery and asked for a cake with a United States flag on it. Here's what I got. The baker, a lady in her late 20's, commented, 'I even got the red star to come out good!'"

Thanks to Jill, Lisa, and Jeff for making us break out the rare quadruple facepalm.
