Free Throws

A while back one of our readers suggested a fun activity for the next book tour: set up plain frosted cakes, and let contestants hurl various bits of candy, flotsam, and ribbon at said cakes. Whichever looks "best" wins.

Unfortunately, I think some wreckerators out there took this as career advice.

And believe me: there are no winners here.

Wow. I didn't know you could get that kind of distance out of mini marshmallows.

You know what they always say about edible splatter paint!:

Nothing, actually. They're all too busy trying to avoid the pieces with the poo-colored jelly beans.

Here's one that made use of the drop method:

Most of it even landed on the cake!

Of course, when you're lobbing across such great distances, some breakage is to be expected:

Boops.

You can see that a lot of throwing went into this one:

(Psst. Throwing up counts, right?)

Hang on a sec, something's wrong.

This one's making me hungry:

Mmmm.

Curse you, Wreckerators, and your nefarious mind-washing piles of

whipped cream and berry goodness!

I mean, what next? Will a professional chef on a national reality show get in on the act??

[holding head] We're too late! AAHHHH!!

Thanks to Jill N., Ashlee M., Cassie G., Julie V., Kimberly B., & Elizabeth L., who all get to be first in line come book-tour-throwing time.

P.S., Speaking of books, I just found one right up our wrecky alley:

A Wizard's Guide To Defensive Baking

I don't even need a synopsis. I'm sold.

And I Thought "Hole Pile" Sounded Bad

When it comes to naming pastries, you could say this bakery has really hit bottom:

But then, maybe this is a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing?

{Ew.}

Butt seriously, I'm sure these doughnuts are out of this world.

In fact, I bet they're really popular on Uranus.

[rimshot!]

Thanks to Robert F. for showing us what happens when you assume you know how to abbreviate "assorted."

P.S. Here's a giggle for my coffee-loving friends:

"My Four Moods" Dragon Tee
:D

It comes in both Men's & Women's cuts, plus a bunch more colors.
