Drive-By Caking & Dinos In Dresses

You'll never guess what kind of party this cake was for. NEVER.

Unless maybe you can read.

Eric A. reports that someone is taking a bite INTO crime at his local grocery store:

And I shouldn't be finding this quite so funny, should I.

(Hey, we've all been there, random drive-by cake eater. We've all been there.)

Think Big Bakery doesn't read this blog? WELL THEY DO. Proof: they've finally agreed with me that most bakers can't even pipe a simple balloon, and have started providing plastic ones instead.

But don't you worry, guys: where there's a wreckerator, there's a wreck:

"They just have to add strings," they said.
"It'll be easy," they said.
"No WAY anyone could foul that up," they said.

Now, I know that Easter has already come and gone, but... hey, actually, that's a pretty good segue for this:

WHAT.

Suzanne assures me this is exactly how her "Easter Bread" looked straight out of the package. I don't know what they were going for - besides the obvious - but it certainly rose to the occasion, no matter how you slice it. (Maybe a cross? Thor's hammer? A bug-eyed, one-eared bunny? [....and now that's ALL you see. Ha!])

Note how I resisted making any egg jokes, you guys. NOTE IT.

And finally, over on Facebook a while back I shared this fun Godzilla Princess cake that ThinkGeek posted:

Well, CW reader David got a big kick out of it, and put in a request with his friends. But then, "they went one better," he says, "and had an even awesomer one made for my birthday."

I think Dave's right, you guys; this is pretty epic:

Hee!

May your weekend be as fun as a dino in a dress, everybody.

And thanks to Bethany P., Eric A., Taryn F., Suzanne C., & David E. for the Cinderella Toy Story.

Ok, so he's not in a dress, but how cute is this Rex pillow?

Toy Story Rex Tapestry Pillow

It's less than $8! And the same listing has this fun throw, I love the art so much:

These Dog Balls Won't Take THEMSELVES Off

I tell ya, minions, all this staying home business really makes one appreciate the little conveniences we had before.

Remember when you could pay someone ELSE to take your dogs' balls off?

When you see it...

... you will facepalm.

Remember, Todd, it's the thought that counts... not the baker. Who clearly didn't.

But you know what bakers ARE making count? Their leftover Easter cakes!

In fact it's actually quite inspiring to watch these true masters at work. Look how this one seamlessly transforms an old Easter cake design into a fully customized birthday/welcome home cake:

SEAMLESSLY I SAY.

Thanks to Elizabeth W., Todd M., & Anony M. for that most unseamly display.

Oh hey, and speaking of dog balls:

Dog Teeth Squeaky Balls, 6PK

These look hilarious. 

(Note that the reviews say bigger dogs can pop out the squeaker pretty fast, though.)
