I'll Never Stop Laughing Over This "Unicorn"

Heather asked her bakery if they could add a unicorn to her cookie cake.

They said - and this is a direct quote - "Yes."

"YES."

So just so we're clear: the professional baking people said yes, they could add a unicorn to Heather's cookie cake.

NOOOOOOOOO

"Little did the princesses know that directly above their heads..."

"... lurked the tragically misunderstood tentacle volcano optometrist.

I hear it ain't easy.

"Hey Sal, this drunk melting blue cat just isn't weird enough, you know? Anything else we can add?"

AHA! Pirate chest hat! 
PERFECT.

Occasions That Call For Sh*t Balloons:

- Your First Hemorrhoid 
- Anniversary of Your First Hemorrhoid 
- Someone Else Asked About Your Hemorrhoid 
- The Hemorrhoid Cream Worked! 
- Your Boss's Birthday

Thanks to Heather C., Marie S., Chris H., Joy J., & Michele A. for the crappy occasions.

And hey, speaking of things that are crappy (and also green! Another tie-in!), I feel like this is the crowd to appreciate my latest Amazon find:

 It's a ceramic frog texting on the toilet.

But wait, THERE'S MORE.

The Texting Toilet Frog also comes on a shower curtain:

And as hilariously bad as that photoshopped product photo is, for $17 I'm tempted to buy it just to put up the next time my parents visit... AND THEN SAY NOTHING.

Sunday Sweets: Modern, Funky, Cool!

Traditional cakes are awesome, sure, but sometimes you want a crisp, modern twist:

(By Torta Deliziosa)

...like this!

Check out that 3D grid pattern. Stunning!

Another clever design:

(By Sweet Sensations, Inc - now closed permanently - & featured here)

Those paper-like bubbles add just the right amount of interest - no color needed!

But for those who want ALL the colors, I've got something for you, too:

(By Cafe Orbis Cakes)

Graphic, geometric, and totally groovy.

(Look closely; there are patterns embossed in the pixels!)

This pinwheel cascade is the stuff chevron-covered dreams are made of:

(By cakelava)

Ahhhh.

And here's a new-to-me technique that I just love:

(By Desiree Aguirre)

Ruffly swirl goodness!

But perhaps you prefer something a bit more awesomely angular. Even, dare I say, spectacularly spiky?

(By Yellow Cake Company)

It's modern art come to life - and ready to be plated.

Speaking of art, here's one that looks like an edible, 3D oil painting:

(By Lucia Simeone)

Plus: Poppies! My favorite!

These asymmetrical petals remind me of Old Hollywood glamour:

(By Charm City Cakes)

Can't you just see this as a satin dress from the 1920s?

(And notice that oh-so-subtle peach ombre coloring. Beautiful.)

Color, whimsy, and more impressive patterns:

(By Kim Giles, featured here)

Love how most of the color is blowing off the cake - and how it takes an extra moment to see all the white-on-white designs.

And finally, some superb swoopiness with just the right balance of modern and traditional:

(By Torte Di Nadia)

That pink ruffle bit is blowing my mind. Love how it bridges that bold, modern cube pattern with the delicate flowers! SO GOOD.

Hope you guys have a Sweet Sunday!
