Happy Mothday, Moms!

Minions, there are LOTS of ways to tell Mom you love her for Mother's Day.

This isn't one of them.

Now, if you wanted to say something like, "There's a hole in my heart Mother can never fill," then this one's got you covered:

Or if you want a subtle commentary on the growing rift in your relationship:

Or even a whimsical illustration of how "Mom" has disappeared from the picture altogether!

Too depressing?

Then check this out:

Look at that border. I mean, really zoom in and study that technique.

GUARANTEED LOLZ, Y'ALL.

Do you have more than one mom in your life?

Then why not rank them?

Is that a #1 or #2? I don't know.

And neither will she.

Speaking of seconds, here are two tries at "Mom, You're #1"

Both wrong.

Maybe you should go for the classic "ran out of room and combined both words" approach:

I have a feeling "Mothday" could really catch on.

Because when it comes to Mother's Day, minions, nothing compares to hearing Mom utter those five precious words:

"What's that supposed to mean?"

That's for the philosophers to decide, Mom. That's for the philosophers to decide.

How (Not) To Practice Proper Etiquette With Cake

It's National Etiquette Week, a time of reflection on how we, too, can be more etiquettey.

So let's start with our cakes, shall we? I mean, this is a cake blog, you like looking at cakes... it just all kinda works.

So:

1) Don't talk about poo.

2) Or have edible icing poo.

3) Or have pictures of Pooh on poo.

Seriously, you people are starting to worry me.

4) Don't talk about money

5) Or the birthday girl's recent weight gain.

And finally, and most importantly:

6) Don't go into the kitchen at your friend's party and cut yourself a slice of cake before they do the whole candles-and-song thing, like this guy:

Not cool, man. NOT COOL.

Thanks to Rachel B., Alison T., Jerri C., Gomez, Jessica S., Diana K., Anony M., & Nathan M. for making us all better etiquetters. Go forth and etiquette good, peeps!
