Going Through A Rough Patch
It's the quintessential symbol of Halloween: the Jack-O-Lantern. Fortunately, it's also one of the easiest designs for a baker to make. Just take one round cake, ice it in orange, add a cartoony face, and...voilá!
AAAEEIII!!
Er. Heh, sorry. Let's try that again.
Voila!
That's...not a cake.
[rolling up sleeves] Voila!
Is that...plastic?
Cheater.
Voila!
A Pumpkin Poo-nicorn. Well. That's a first.
[through gritted teeth] Voi-la.
What the...what IS that? Come on, seriously, there's no way you could make this thing look less like a pumpkin!
Allow me to retract that last statement.
Knock, knock.
Well? Orange you glad I didn't say "voila?"
Hm. Maybe the problem lies in trying to make the whole cake look like a pumpkin. Maybe if the baker just drew a pumpkin ON the cake...
[blinking]
Um...
[more blinking]
Voila!
Dorota, Carra M., Melody N., Shanna T., Andrew M., Ted, Donny & Amanda, Kaitlin K., & T.A., don't ask me; I'm going with "abstract jack-o-lantern."

P.S. I have to show you my new Fall pillows, because AHHHHH they make me happy:
I found an Eva pillow!
These are all pillow covers, actually, which means they're cheaper and easier to store later, a win-win.
Here's the other couch, with a bonus Suki:
Those velvet pillows are so soft and cozy. The cats are jealous; I keep petting the pillows instead. :p
Again, these are pillow covers, so I covered what we already had, then snagged a couple $3 thrift pillows to round out the set. HIGHLY recommend - and here come the Amazon links!
- 4-pack of 18-inch Maple Leaf covers
- 2-pack of 20-inch velvet orange covers
