The Dolphins Have Left The Building

I know we're all tired of 2020 memes, but this made my inner frood smile:

For you youngin's who haven't read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that's a reference to when the dolphins left Earth because it was about to be demo'd for an interstellar bypass by really really bad poets. 

(It's an extremely sophisticated piece of literature. What.)

Anyway, I just realized: I think the dolphins ARE gone! At least from cookie cakes. Check this out.

Here's a dolphin cookie cake from last year:

And here are THIS year's models, also supposedly "dolphins":

Riiiiiight.

You're not fooling anyone, bakers, that's clearly a leaping squirrel.

::head tilt::

Or a blue bird on its back.

Ahhh, the ol' "duck in a banana peel" trick. Nice try.

Please, that's just a penguin with a pointy nipple!

Admit it, bakers, the dolphins are gone, aren't they?

AREN'T THEY?

o.0

[...]

Yep, we're doomed.

The Dog Days of "Bummer"

Today is National Dog Day! Quick! Make a cake effigy of your favorite pooch and slit its throat!

See, NOW it's a party.

(Also, I just realized "your favorite pooch" could have gone a very different direction. So you're welcome.)

As an unabashed cat person (CATS RULE, DOGS SNIFF YOUR CROTCH), I must admit to the occasional evil snicker over stuff like this:

::snicker::

Perhaps even a bit of a chortle:

Ahehheheheehe

Or the teensiest, tiniest, guffaw:

MWAHAHHAAAAAHAAAA!

And since I showed you that cat autopsy cake that one time, this seems only fair:

I'm guessing the customer specified NO NUTS.

[....]

Ahem.

So, in conclusion:

Happy Dog Day, e'erbody!

Thanks to Andrea W., Meredith H., Annabel J., April A., Emily Z., & Krysmon for the doggone treasures.
