Even The Character Cakes Can't Handle 2020

I can't decide if it's refreshingly relevant or just depressing that bakers are making such accurate 2020 cakes, minions. Or am I the only one seeing myself in these?

The first person to say "rise and shine" gets a heel to the face.

Ah yes, the official facial expression of 2020. 

 Best worn while muttering, "Oh, of course, WHY AM I EVEN SURPRISED."

 That moment when you're super stressed and you KNOW eating cookies isn't going to solve anything... but you keep eating cookies anyway:

When you start asking co-workers on Zoom if you look feverish:

"And then the rash gets REALLY weird over on my - hey, where'd you all go? ...guys?"

 And my personal favorite: what John and I look like on the couch every night:

Except John prefers his heels in a classic black.

Thanks to Becky H., DeLoris N., Jenna M., Mike K., & Grace R. for helping us celebrate that sinking sensation.

Speaking of couch life, if you've ever wanted a photo-realistic pillow of a chocolate chip cookie, then YOU ARE IN LUCK:

Cookie Throw Pillow

I'd pair it with this Cookie Monster pillow for maximum cuteness.

Hats Off To Betty Boop's Trunks

Minions, it thrills my geeky little heart to see you Agent Carter fans ordering her iconic red hat as a cake:

Ooooh. Aaaah.

But I must admit, it's also a thrill to pull a new pun out of my hat, so....

Looks like someone...
[SUNGLASSES]
...busted a cap.

Thank you, thank you verramuch. And hey, that was just off the top of my head.

(Your groans are music to my ears, people.)

This sweet Bettie Boop miss practically writes itself:

"Boop-Oop-A....

"...WHOOPS."

It would probably be indelicate to mention how many times I've warned you all about the horrors of cupcake cakes (ptooie!), so I won't. Instead, I'll just let Mary's pictures tell the story:

It was supposed to be this.

Instead:

o.0

So take a card from the sand-covered mutant elephant, my friends, and NEVER FORGET.

Thanks to Jessica S., Anita S., & Mary B. for mastering the elephant of surprise.
