They're Just Really Thankful To See You

It's our favorite time of year, minions:

POO WANG SEASON!

 

Yep, time to hang the traditional Poo Wang bunting (heyooo), pull up a chair (heyooo), and watch with gleeful abandon as bakers attempt - mostly in vain, since we all have the minds of 12-year-olds here - to make a turkey cake that doesn't look like poop or peepees or both.

Hehehhehehehe.

 

Hehhehehehhehe.

 

What was that I said about "in vein"?

Eh, never mind.

 

And lest you think this problem is only limited to turkey cakes, BEHOLD:

It's the "Horn" of "Plenty!"

It's a real cornucopia of earthly delights, IF you catch my drift...ing giant orange dong.

 

But remember, some turkey cakes are growers, not show-ers:

Also it's cold in here.

 

Now, I know what you're thinking: What if the bakers added legs on all the turkeys? Wouldn't that make them less, you know, heady? Less trouser weasel-y? Less cock-a-doodle-doo?

The answer is no.

No, it would not.

 

Besides, look at this poor fellow:

Scared stiff!

Fantastic Sweets (and How to Find Them)

Newt Scamander gets a lot of attention for his fantastic beasts, but he's not the only one with a collection.

We've pulled together a great assortment of beastiness for you today.

But enough chit-chat. Let's get...

KRAKEN

(By Glavgnom, in Moscow, Russia.)

Just don't let the Kraken get you.

 

If it did, maybe this gorgeous mermaid would come to your rescue.

(By Clairella Cakes, Essex, United Kingdom)

I love how her tail comes out of the cake.

 

If she's busy putting sunblock on her tail, maybe you could catch a ride on this sea dragon.

(By Whimsy Cakes by Dee, Yelm, Washington, USA)

He could poke the Kraken with those beautiful horns.

 

Oh, you say you'd prefer an air rescue? Then let's go with the more traditional, ferocious, flying variety of dragon.

(By Art2Eat Cakes, Boulder, Colorado, USA)

Sure he's ferocious. He was offered as a Craftsy sculpture class with the tagline:

"Do You Wanna Build A Dragon? He's gonna melt your Snowman..."

That's hardcore.

 

OK, fine. Do you think a thestrel would intimidate the Kraken more?

(By lovin' from the oven, Galway, Ireland)

He's made of chocolate, so the ride would smell heavenly.

 

Great. Now you're safe on land.

Watch out for the zombie Yetis.

(By Sweet KOKEKO, Mexico City, Mexico)

Personally, I think they should have to disclose these guys in those "Visit Tibet" ads.

 

Oh, and did I mention there's been a Minotaur sighting?

(By Cakes 'n' Crumbs, hima's creations, Bangalore, India)

 

I think he was visiting the werewolf.

(By The Cake Nook, Durham, England)

Hey, it's OK. The next full moon isn't until the 23rd.

Maybe, just to be on the safe side, you should call for a ride.

 

Better yet, call for a unicorn.

(By Caked by Cynthia White, South Florida, USA)

 

She'll make sure you get home safe and sound, tucked into your own comfy bed.

Um...

(By Man Bakes Cake, Astoria, New York, USA)

Just don't look under it, OK?

Actually, don't worry. I've been assured all the creatures above are sweet.

Sunday Sweet.

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
