The Way The Cookie Fumbles

I'll admit, it's not easy to wreck a cookie.

But where there's a will (and copious amounts of icing and edible images), THERE'S A WAY:

Oy.

And since yesterday was National Cookie Day, I figured I'd update you guys on my ever-growing collection of Ridiculously Decorated Gingerbread Men! (yaaay!)

...because even after 13+ years, these things never get old.

So many questions. So little clothing.

As always, my favorite designs tend to ignore the "man" part entirely:

Which can sometimes lead to awkward situations:

Don't worry, Mr. Elephant, I'm sure NO ONE is looking at your trunk.

Let's give this one the benefit of the doubt:

...and say it's a murder scene.

"Just a poodle claiming her latest victim, folks. Nothing to see here."

Speaking of which, I'm particularly fond of the heavy-falling-objects approach:

Katrina's family ordered two cakes, and asked the bakery to write "Happy Birthday Katrina" on the smaller one.

Guess what happened next:

Little Ryan's cake is a little more confusing... until you take a look at the order form:

Ahhh, I think we've cracked the code!

But my favorite belongs to Kate and Lilly, who were celebrating their victories in a local Spelling Bee.

Their parents asked the bakery to add some little flying bees around the cake for decoration... and OH YES THIS HAPPENED:

Spelling B's?

Well, at least they're consistent.

Thanks to Katrina S., Rebecca M., & Amy E. for all the latest buzz.
