Sunday Sweets Celebrates New Horizons
I played Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp on my phone for over a year, and loved every minute of it. Now everyone's playing New Horizons on the Switch, and even though I don't have it to play myself, I love it for helping so many people. Nearly everyone I know plays New Horizons and tells me it's been a desperately-needed place of peace and community the past three months.
That sounds like something worth celebrating, don't you think?

Isabelle! I love how the baker used cookies to make the decorations here, plus the star lollipops are a fun touch.

And just in case you're tempted to doubt this next one is really a cake...

Here's ol' Tom again relaxing on the CUTEST little beach:

I keep staring at the "foam" on that wave. Wow.
And finally, a cake that only works for this extremely specific point in history, which of course is what makes it so great:

I think that TP roll in the water is a lost cause, y'all.
