Spit Take

"You know what? On second thought, I'm really not all that hungry."

Thanks for the offer, Lynda O., but I've really gotta split.

P.S. Unlike the name of that cupcake, these shirts have a certain... a-PEEL:

Paper Reams

There are very, VERY few non-wrecky uses for edible photo paper, my friends. So if you're going to make your guests gum their way through all that ink and extra fiber, at least make sure it looks cool. 

You know, (not) like this:

I can just imagine the baker showing these off in his/her portfolio:

  "As you can see, I pioneered the 'wet blanket' decorating technique. I also specialize in printer jams and making your poop sparkle."

 Or this:

Granted, this doesn't look as much like edible paper as it does a thin plastic table cloth. Maybe it comes with a pair of scissors for serving? (Only let's hope the scissors come on the outside this time.)

And I love how they wrapped the (presumably) iced cake in "paper," then added more icing, and then topped it with (more?) plastic. It's like a Dagwood sandwich of choking hazards.

My favorite, though, is what Angela N. got when she ordered Avengers themed cupcakes from a national chain store bakery which I am *this* close to outing, because omigosh are you kidding me:

AVENGERS, ASSEMBLE!

*splat*

Thank you.

Thanks to Andrew C., Jaymie P., and Angela N. for actually making me look forward to the day when print is dead.
