The Game Where Everybody Wins

It's "Take A Wild Guess Day," minions, and I've got a real humdinger of a round lined up for you, mwuahahaaa.

Let's start with an easy one:

I know, I'm surprised bakers would make something so controversial, too.

Not to mention take such obvious political pot-shots with their cupcake cakes (patooie!):

Eeesh. That's a bold stance.

Once you know what this next one is supposed to be, it actually makes very little sense:

How are those wild guesses coming, by the way? I'll list the answers I have at the bottom.

"Papa" here is just begging for a back story:

And while you're at it, please give me a plausible explanation for this bakery display that's haunted me for years:

Or if not a plausible explanation, at least a funny one. ::evil grin::

(I know what Tiffany blue is, and I agree the cake is not Tiffany blue... but beyond that I'm lost.)

This next one is actually pretty well done... which somehow makes it even funnier:

Kendra found this in the bakery case, so it's either a rejected custom order or a baker having a REALLY interesting daydream. Um. What occasion calls for glowing pyramid heads and approaching meteors?

 And finally, let's go back to guessing what the cake is supposed to be with this groom's cake from someone's actual wedding:

Huh.

You know, if you squint and back up it actually has an adorable little face and leafy arms. D'awww.

So, how'd you do? I'm sure your guesses are way more entertaining than the truth, but here come the answers that I know:

1) I seriously have no idea. Maybe a psychedelic avocado?  2) A fish? Definitely maybe a fish. 3) Ballet shoes. 4) A golf course. 5) Something that isn't Tiffany Blue.  6) Stargate II: Electric Boogaloo (You got me: I have no idea.)  7) A ski hill. (Really.)

Thanks to LVB, Amy T., Aubrey T., Sheri G., Kate M., Kendra C., & Katja for that downhill slide.

Drive-By Caking & Dinos In Dresses

You'll never guess what kind of party this cake was for. NEVER.

Unless maybe you can read.

Eric A. reports that someone is taking a bite INTO crime at his local grocery store:

And I shouldn't be finding this quite so funny, should I.

(Hey, we've all been there, random drive-by cake eater. We've all been there.)

Think Big Bakery doesn't read this blog? WELL THEY DO. Proof: they've finally agreed with me that most bakers can't even pipe a simple balloon, and have started providing plastic ones instead.

But don't you worry, guys: where there's a wreckerator, there's a wreck:

"They just have to add strings," they said.
"It'll be easy," they said.
"No WAY anyone could foul that up," they said.

Now, I know that Easter has already come and gone, but... hey, actually, that's a pretty good segue for this:

WHAT.

Suzanne assures me this is exactly how her "Easter Bread" looked straight out of the package. I don't know what they were going for - besides the obvious - but it certainly rose to the occasion, no matter how you slice it. (Maybe a cross? Thor's hammer? A bug-eyed, one-eared bunny? [....and now that's ALL you see. Ha!])

Note how I resisted making any egg jokes, you guys. NOTE IT.

And finally, over on Facebook a while back I shared this fun Godzilla Princess cake that ThinkGeek posted:

Well, CW reader David got a big kick out of it, and put in a request with his friends. But then, "they went one better," he says, "and had an even awesomer one made for my birthday."

I think Dave's right, you guys; this is pretty epic:

Hee!

May your weekend be as fun as a dino in a dress, everybody.

And thanks to Bethany P., Eric A., Taryn F., Suzanne C., & David E. for the Cinderella Toy Story.
