Wedding Whoopsies

Brides, have you ever had a lofty cake dream...

...fall flat?

Or have you ever wished for pretty-as-a-picture polka dots...

...only to get gravity-defying cow patties?

How about something that should have been simply sublime...

...that turned terrifying?

Perhaps your "something blue"...

...has you seeing red?

Have you ever wanted creamy lace and bows...

...only to get "AAAAUUUGGHH!!"

Well, have you?

Yes?

Oh, good!

Then send me a picture, won't you?

This stuff cracks. me. up.

Thanks to brides Ashley B., Emily K., Lara A., Christie S., & Kathleen M. for sharing their private pain with us. So that we may laugh. And then feel kinda bad about it. But not enough to stop laughing.

P.S. In case this post wasn't painful enough:

Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes

There are a lot of "dad joke" books out there, but this one has awesome ratings AND the word "spiffing" on the cover, so it's a clear winner.

Oh, and good news, there's a Volume 2!

Exceptionally Bad Dad Jokes, Vol II

Sunday Sweets: Gettin' Geeky Wit It

Just like cake, there are many flavors of geek fandom - and I love them all.

Granted, I love some more than others:

NO LIE.

I about fell over when I found not only a cake of my favorite video game character of all time - I found an AMAZING cake of him:

(By Oakleaf Cakes)

[Kermit flail] SONGBIRD!!

Songbird here is a whopping three feet tall, and was made for Irrational Games. And I love him. You can check out the amazing build photos here.

Who else loves Avatar? And I don't mean the blue guys:

I let the anime style scare me off of The Last Airbender for far too long, but it only took a single episode last year to get me hooked. And the sequel series, Legend of Korra? AMAZEBALLS.

Shout out to all the real anime geeks out there:

I can spot Naruto, but the rest of your cosplay always keeps me guessing. :D

Here's a fun mash-up of two shows John and I love:

Ponies and Supernatural!

Would you look at that "salt" circle? And a bucket of blood has never been cuter. Seriously.

It's not all shows and video games, though. Being a geek also makes me want to learn more about programming and electronics:

John and I have done some simple stuff, wiring up LEDs for various cosplays, but my dream is to build my own nixie tube clock from scratch.

Because I can never get too much steampunk. NEVAH!

Here's one for the Brown Coats:

And the Whovians:

(And Minecrafters!)

And the... uh... Middle Earthers? Do Tolkien geeks have a nick name?

(Submitted by Emily H. and made by Cakerator)

Regardless, can you believe this Witch-king of Angmar is cake?!

And finally, can't forget superheroes and comic books - because what geek girl doesn't want to be Wonder Woman?

(By Cakes by Raewyn)

Though I might settle for this cake. So pretty.

Hope you're doing something geeky today, guys! And hey, if you found this post relevant to your interests, then you might like my other blog, Epbot, where I post everything from great convention pics to game reviews and DIY projects.
