The Final Countdown

Look, bakers, I'll be the firth to admit I'm not so great with numbers...

...but something here just doesn't add up:

Major props for helping "Keydunce" celebrate such a special milestone, though.

The kind of milestone, in fact, that most of us will spend the next few seconds trying to pronounce.
(I'm going with "three-und." Or maybe "Thirnd.")

Hey, is it just me, or have you noticed families having LOTS of kids these days?

Not to mention getting super lazy naming them all.

(Johnny Five's sister? We can only hope.)

Ok, now you're just making stuff up.

Maybe if you skip the number superscript all together...

Nope.

Well, bakers, I guess you're just going to have to spell them out. That way there's no chance of any of these piddly little technical errors, you know?

I don't... how could... WHY... Oh, never mind.

Happy Liberation Day, Kanaan.

Thanks to Kajal, Kailey S., Anony M., Moira B., Beth M., Tyffani C., Alison U., & Crystal T. for putting two and two together... and getting all sixes and sevens. (That one's for you British mates. Smoochies!)

P.S. I found the COOLEST toy for helping kids learn their numbers:

Transforming Number Robots

These would make awesome cake toppers; then you can surprise them by showing the number is really a robot. As of this writing they're on sale for over 50% off, too. SCORE.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

Mama MIA!

Tabitha G. ordered a Mario cake for her five-year-old's birthday party.

You know Mario, right?

Yeah. This guy.

And that's when things went horribly, hilariously wrong:

"Did-a somebody call-a a plumber?" [eyebrow waggle]

No, no, take a moment. Soak it alllll in. The leather biker hat. The earring. The collar. The nipple and gratuitous chest hair. Oh yeah, and the fact that his lower half is on backwards. (Why? WHY??)

How did this happen? Why does this art even exist? And seriously, what the heck is going on with that front butt?

The world may never know.

We DO know the bakery replaced The Village Mario here with a free Spongebob cake, though.

So Tabitha, just one question:

Was SpongeBob wearing a gimp suit? :D

P.S. Have you played with Perler Beads? Those are the plastic pellets you iron together to make coasters or ornaments or hair bows or whatnot - and there's a Super Mario set!

Perler Bucket Activity Kit

This set comes with the pegboard, patterns, ironing sheet, and of course all the beads you need to make at least 11 different designs. Here's a pic from the reviews, aren't they great?

This is a perfect craft for kids AND adults. Hit the link up there to see several more design kits, including Star Wars and Harry Potter.
