When Ester Gets Hoppy

It's almost time for my favorite Easter tradition, minions:

Hand puppets in vases! 

I'm also a fan of bunny cakes with these giant plastic eyeballs:

"Come play with us!"

 

And also bakers who think "Easter" is a person:

I say we start celebrating the birthdays of ALL holidays - including our own birthdays. Eh? Eh?

Aw, dang it. Hang on.

I thought I was being original there.

I call this model, "Covering All The Bases"

"We got yer Springtime butterflies, we got yer Easter bunnies an' eggs, we got yer crosses... WE GOT IT ALL."

And if you think that much plastic on a cake is cheating, well...

It still beats the alternative.

Although sometimes - sometimes - you will actually get a beautifully decorated Easter cake. When that happens, minions, don't despair:

A true wreckerator will always find a way.

Thanks to Kathryn C., Yolan P., Justine B., Mary G., Catherine G., Tina H., Jill D., & Kristy M. for getting the jump on these wrecks.

Take A Bow, Then Take Notes, Bakers

♫ Why is there so much stuff
Wrong with this rainbow?

And what's with the spiky side?

♪ Rainbows have colors
In a certain order

But rainbows have no black to hide

 

♫ Still these are sold
and if you can believe it
