A Picture Is Worth What Now?

I know, I know, sometimes you're in a hurry, and you have to grab just any ol' cake off the shelf for your party.

However.

Why this one?

If you're fishing for a compliment, then that's strike one.

And if you bring this home to celebrate your sixth anniversary?

Well, let's just say there are other fish in the sea. Who can spell.

Wow, I'm so glad they remembered the glass slipper on Dad's cake!

The pink purse alone was just a little too cliché, you know?

It's not always a case of last-minute cake decisions, though; sometimes people choose this stuff intentionally.

And you thought dinosaurs were agnostic.

This cake was part of a Breast Cancer Awareness display:

Is that Coraline's creepy button-eyed Other Mother?

We can only hope.

Speaking of cakes that will blow your mind, how about a dust mite encouraging you to have healthy digestive regularity?

And darned if I just don't want to disappoint the little fella, too.

P.S. You could say the dino cake inspired me:

Keen for Quinoa

Bakers, with Thanksgiving coming up, I think you need to see this.

This, my friends, is a turkey.

Now, I know this comes as a shock. After all, you've been lied to all these years! But then, how could you possibly have known that turkeys actually DON'T all come in cans?

Now that's what we call a "can-doo" attitude!

In fact, when you think about it, it's really only natural to assume a turkey with a head injury bleeds rainbows:

Or that baby turkeys are cute enough to turn even hardened carnivores into raw vegans:

"Please, sir, might you consider the tofurkey this year? I hear it's lovely with a bit of quinoa."

Of course, some of you chose to model your turkeys on other things.

Like flamingos...

Or your least favorite cousin...

Or, from the looks of things, your last colonoscopy:

"Personally, I've taken a shine to the 'frizzy fecal' style."

Still, the good news is you bakers have always known exactly what a turkey sounds like:

Honestly, it's uncanny.

Thanks to Scott A., Kathryn S., Beth P., D.W., Dion H., Karen, & Mike B. for inspiring me to shout "gooble gooble!" at every lawn flamingo I see. That's right, neighbors, who's the "antisocial recluse" now? Huh? HUH?!

Have y'all tried nail wraps? They're all the rage, my friends love them - but the brand names cost about $8 a set. I found this Fall collection on Amazon with decent reviews, though, and you get a dozen sets for only $13:

Thanksgiving Nail Decal Set

Cuuuuute.
