Sunday Sweets: Polar Opposites

There are few things in this world that can be stated with absolute certainty, but two of them are:

1) This polar bear is freakin' adorable...

2) These penguins ROCK!

 

Well, if penguins and polar bears are so great separately, doesn't it follow that they'd be even better together?

(By Cakes by Roxanne)


"But, wait!" someone will say, "You can't put polar bears and penguins together! They're from different poles! They are, in fact, polar opposites."

Well, someone -- can I call you "someone?" -- I say if we can put a man on the moon, then we can find a way to get these kids together!

We just need to find a mode of transportation.

Maybe the penguins could hitch a ride with an orca:

...or grab the tail of a bright blue whale:

A jolly gentleman with a recently emptied sleigh might stop by with friends and take a few penguins home for a visit:

Or perhaps this cool chick will take a wrong turn using Apple Maps and stumble into a penguin colony:

Of course, if you think it might be too hard to get a polar bear to pull a sled full of penguins, we could always ask some sled dogs:

Who knows?  They might be tired of running around Alaska.

 

But maybe we're being too complicated. The penguins could just hop a ship:

They wouldn't even have to dock. Just pull up alongside a handy iceberg!

(By Highland Bakery)

 ...and voilá!

 

See, now that I've explained how we could make this work, it's not all that far-fetched, is it?

So the next time you find yourself taking a little vacation way up north...

...and you see this gang hanging out together:

Chillax. It's totally cool.
