This Calls For An Intervention
As we've seen, flotsamizing a cake is hugely popular - particularly around the holidays. However, there comes a time when we, the rational-minded public, must step in.
How do you know when that time has been reached? Here are a few handy hints.
1. When the weight of the flotsam is actually pulling the icing off the cake.
"Right, so now we know seven is too many. Next time, let's stop at the candy cane, 'Believe' sign, clear snowflake, santa hat, santa head, and Christmas tree. The yellow angel creeps me out anyway."2. When the bakery thinks propping a plastic Santa head on something automatically makes it a Christmas cake.
Wow. You feel that? That's the "magic of the season."Or possibly indigestion.
*facepalm*4. When there are a bunch of small plastic candy canes ON THE GIANT CANDY CANE.
Plus there are sprinkles. WHY are there sprinkles, again? Why?
"It's a...a....a glove! Yeah. And the person wearing it is offering you some decapitated Santa & reindeer heads.So, you know, happy holidays!"

Today's charity is for you animal lovers, and one very dear to my heart: Puffy Paws Kitty Haven.
