Peek-A-WHO?!

Sometimes when I'm bemoaning the fact that most cakes today are just plastic flotsam delivery vehicles...

 

Here's your cake, enjoy! Just don't try to eat that thing. Or that one. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. Or that. 

...Or that.

...I remember there's a REASON bakers rely so heavily on flotsam and toys:

Nemo? More like Ne-NO, am I right? 

[Ba-dum-CHA!]

I... I think this is supposed to be Spider-Man:

Hold me.

Now, see, this would have been perfect if the customer had actually ASKED for a zombie-fied Spongebob:

As it is, I'm pretty sure little Levi needs therapy now.

This Darth Vader cookie is so ridiculously pathetic that I actually kind of love it:

  (At least, I hope it's Vader. If not, then I'm never getting those thirty seconds of squinting back. Never EVER, you guys.)

Seriously, it's so bad I want to hug it. 

And I like how the baker just gave up on the other cookie cakes, like she was all, "YOU GET VADER OR YOU GET NOTHING."

And finally, let's end with a little mystery:

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?

 

Please, you guys, I have to know.

It says "Where Kermet," so of course my first thought was Kermit the Frog. But it's blonde and has four eyes with a giant red clown nose. Or is the red thing its mouth? And why "Where Kermet?" Where Kermet what? Where he stores his wigs? Where he met his untimely demise? 

I went back to Holly J.'s original e-mail, seeking answers, and was delighted to find she'd included a few more angles of the mystery:

....

Well, THAT clears things ups, doesn't it? 0.o

 Hang on. Holly says she thinks this is... MISS PIGGY!? Really? I mean, I guess she must be right, but... How. HOW. How is this possible?

I will not rest until I have answers!

Or until I get tired. Or John gets back with our burritos.

But otherwise, TOTALLY NOT RESTING.

 

Thanks to Sabrina, Kristen O., Sean K., Patrice D., Tori S., & Holly J. for pointing out today's character flaws. We know it's only because you care, guys.

Happy Oreo Day!

This isn't a real post, guys, so don't mind me. I'm just popping in to say 'Happy Oreo Day' the best way I know how.

Ok, bakers, can we make this cake look like a big Oreo cookie? 

No? 

Er... can we just write "Oreo" on it, then?

 

PERF.

And since this isn't a real post or anything, I'm going to balance out the wreckage with a big ol' Oreo Sweet:

If that were filled with actual Oreo cream filling I'd be trying to dig my way through my monitor right now. Seriously. That guy with the Oreo machine that removes the filling? He's, like, my arch nemesis. (And don't tell me the second Oreo machine is any better, because then I'll be forced to make a lot of inappropriate jokes about its cream removal method, and NO ONE WANTS THAT.)

Ok, one more, just 'cuz these Panda cupcakes are so gosh-darn cute:

From Karen Tack's book, "Hello, Cupcake!"

Happy Oreo Day, everyone!

Thanks to Kim K., Thomas S., & Lynn E. for making today Double Stuffed. (And also to my friend Missy for reminding me it's Oreo Day. WHOOPSIE.)
