Maps, Minecraft, & Minnie, Oh My!

Grace wanted this map cake of the U.S.:

But got something in a terrible state:

I'm not sure which one, but I think we can agree all these states are terrible.

 

Kelly asked for this Minecraft cake for her son's fifth birthday:

It... didn't square up:

And finally, Rebecca ordered this sweet Minnie Mouse:

But instead, got a major mess:

o.0

I can't stop staring at the hair-like black wires. At first I thought those were supposed to be her arms?
I mean, they're not, but now you can't unsee it, either, so... you're welcome. [evil grin]

 

Thanks to Grace E., Kelly E., & Rebecca O. for ratting Minnie out.

P.S. Did you know there's a Minecraft version of Uno?

(Mattle Uno Minecraft Card Game)

A non-screen version the whole family can play for less than $6 Prime? SWEET.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

The Winter Blues... And Reds?

I know most of you are tired of winter, bakers, but did you HAVE to decapitate poor Frosty?

That's just cold.

And the blood trail is a bit much.

 

Here, you know what you need? A warm hug.

Or a terror-sparked run for your life.
...which can also warm you up.

 

Tell you what, let's brainstorm all the GREAT things about winter! Like, uh... huh. Let's see.

Oh! Well, there's the, you know, thing there.

[long pause]

On second thought, let's just brainstorm all the BAD things about summer.

Like crappy butterflies:

Poo-tiful!

 

And streaking watermelons:

(You're disappointed this isn't a naked watermelon, I know. BUT ISN'T IT?)

 

And, of course, Mariachi Band Mickey Mouse:

Say what you will about his music, but this guy will really stick his neck out for you.

Granted, Mariachi Band Mickey doesn't really have anything to do with summer OR winter, but in my defense, it's 65 degrees in here and I am REALLY COLD.

I bet a hot whoopie pie would taste good right now. We should find out. Who's with me?


Thanks to Kathleen F., Jessica A., Stacie B., Jennifer T., & Lydia H., who I'm sure will understand when I say this is all I could think of with that Mickey cake:

I just ordered this nifty 84-pc butterfly set to make a rainbow wreath, I think you crafters will love them:

(3D Butterfly Wall Magnet Set)

They're double-sided and come with both magnets and stickers. Definitely browse the projects in the reviews, there are so many pretty ideas!
