Yup... Still Screaming

[singing] Double your pleasure, double your...

Never mind.

When Jeff's co-worker retired, they decided to go with a golfing sentiment on the cake. Appropriate, because look how well the baker teed them off!

Ahh, if only ALL the gruss was grenner, am I right?

Here's another stencil malfunction, but one only you Australian readers will appreciate:

To be fair, I hear it's easy to get turned around Down Under.

Anyone else get the feeling bakers are sick of drawing footballs?

No? Just me?

And finally,

I think this giraffe is trying to wink at us:

So why can't I stop screaming?

Thanks to Kara P., Jeff R., everyone in Australia who reads this blog, Melissa U., & Anony M. for proving that winking at strangers is always creepy, so stop it, winkers. JUST STOP.

P.S. I can't leave you with that nightmare fuel, here, have a cute chaser:

This is our cat Suki, and she luuuuurves these chew sticks so much I thought I'd tell y'all about them.

Silvervine Cat Chew Sticks

If your cats don't react to catnip, try these; they're branches from a different plant with the same effect. My cats happen to love both, but I prefer Silvervine since the sticks are less messy than loose catnip, plus help clean their teeth.

Even better, a 10-pack of sticks is only $6, and they last forever. It's been 2 years and I'm still on my second pack. Every couple months I'll scrape off a little bark to expose more of the wood underneath, which freshens the effect; the cats are EXTRA interested afterward. (The sticks have no smell for humans, btw.) HIGHLY recommend for your feline friends.

And Speaking Of Frozen...

If this site has taught us anything, it's to be specific when you order a cake. After all, as Lynn's grandmother discovered, one person's "Ninja Turtle cake" is another's "Meh, just stick an empty pencil box on it."

I like how the green sprinkles really tie the whole thing together.

And speaking of Frozen...

Admit it, bakers: at this point you're just screwing with me.

Now, you might think that if a bakery only had to put a single edible image on a cake - an image that you made and printed out for them - then there'd be no possible way for that to go wrong.

You might think that...

...but you would be so, so wrong.

(Clearly the baker just wanted to protect the identities of those poor musicians.)

I call this one, "Indecent Proposal:"

Tricia actually wanted the baker to draw a sad face, but I think this still works:

Awww.

And finally,

The Good News: Airbrush stencils are easy, guarantee correct spelling, and save time!

The Bad News: People are still dumb.

Bummer.

Thanks to Lynn M., MJ, Robin C., Liz A., Tricia M., & Tia K., who's pretty sure that baker will never invent Skynet, so hey, SILVER LINING.
