Sunday Sweets Sings It's Not Easy Being Green

Writing this post gave me an unexpected wallop in the feels department, gang.

 I hope it gives you a little warm glow, too.

(If it's been a while, go listen to Kermit sing this song here.)

It's not that easy bein' green,

(Cake Central member jjjtwin)

 Having to spend each day the
Color of the leaves

 (Planet Cake, Australia)

When I think it might be nicer
Bein' red or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

 (Vinism Sugar Art, international instructor)

But green is the color of Spring
And green can be Wicked cool...

 (Cake Art By Kristen, Chicago)

...and friendly-like:

(J'adore Sweets)

And green can be soft like a child:

 (Koalipops)

Or strong like a mountain

(Sweet Ending By Lulu, Malaysia)

Or tall like a tree

(Karen Portaleo, Georgia)

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why

(Crazy Cakes, Texas)

But why wonder, why wonder?

I am green and in my eye

(Sugar Ministry, Indonesia)

It's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

(The Butter End Cakery, California)

Here's to everyone feeling their green today.

Unfortunately this song is NOT on the Muppet Movie soundtrack, but just looking at the album art brings me back and makes me smile:

The Muppet Movie Soundtrack CD

Plus it has Rainbow Connection, which I *also* wrote a Sweets for, if you're looking for more Sweet Muppety memories.

Let's Play Telephone!

Ladies and gentlemen, the stories you're about to see are true. The phone calls, however, are just how I imagined they went.

"Yes, I'd like it to say 'Happy 6th Birthday Robert.' Oh, and could you put Spider-Man on the cake, too? That's his favorite character."

You're welcome, lady!

"Just have it say 'Happy Birthday Keith & Arianna,' please."

[writing down order] "Nooo problem, sir. And what kind of decorations would you like?"

"Oh, whatever. I trust you guys."

Foolish man.

"Could you write, 'Happy birthday cake, Chloe'?"

[confused look]

"Yes, seriously. She's three years old."

"Ohhh kay. You really want me to write that?"

"Yeah. See, she never says just 'happy birthday,' she always says 'happy birthday cake.'"

"Oh, I get it! Ok, sure, no problem."

*facepalm*

"And what message would you like on your cookie cake?"

"Oh, this isn't for any special occasion. Although if you could put sprinkles on it, that'd be cool."

Cool.

"Have it say, 'Happy birthday, Mike.'"

Is there an echo in here?

"Just put 'Happy birthday, Stephanie.' Thanks!"

Kinda makes you want to yell, "I'm an idiot!!" doesn't it?

Thanks to Joanna B., Sheri, Jodee W., Genevieve, Melissa M., Stephanie R. for literally being my most recent wreckporters.
