The Last Effs Given

There's nothing more dismal than the first day back to work after a holiday. You're tired, you're possibly hung-over, you're definitely not ready to be wearing pants and/or a bra again, but here you are, expected to pick up like it's a regular ol' Tuesday. BAH.

Bakers are no less susceptible to the First-Day-Back blues, but I will say theirs is SLIGHTLY more obvious.

Gee, you shouldn't have.

Ready, set...

BLEH.

When you can't be bothered to find the spatula:

I just hope she wore gloves.

Andy's big 30th birthday bash is about. to get. EPIC.

...ally bad.

It was a drive-by splooging!

Or maybe a "stand-over-and-sway-drunkenly" splooging.

You know it's gone wrong when they bring in the big plastic butterfly.

Big plastic butterfly fixes everything.

Took me WAY too long to figure out what this icing says:

I won't spoil it for you. Just squint a little - you'll get it.

And my favorite:

Because unlike most of us today, this baker actually gave a crap.

Also maybe a little pee.

Thanks to Rachael G., Alicia P., Melissa C., Ellen M., Laurie P., Jennifer L., Suzan M., & Elizabeth O., who know that one cake doesn't actually say anything, but who forgive me for trolling because I'M NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TODAY. I mean, ok, I am, but still. WHY DO I HAVE PANTS ON RIGHT NOW.

P.S. When you don't have a cake to express yourself, there's always this:

(Sorry I'm Late, I Didn't Want To Be Here T-shirt)

Comes in lots more colors and also mens' styles at the link.

The Winter Blues... And Reds?

I know most of you are tired of winter, bakers, but did you HAVE to decapitate poor Frosty?

That's just cold.

And the blood trail is a bit much.

Here, you know what you need? A warm hug.

Or a terror-sparked run for your life.
...which can also warm you up.

Tell you what, let's brainstorm all the GREAT things about winter! Like, uh... huh. Let's see.

Oh! Well, there's the, you know, thing there.

[long pause]

On second thought, let's just brainstorm all the BAD things about summer.

Like crappy butterflies:

Poo-tiful!

And streaking watermelons:

(You're disappointed this isn't a naked watermelon, I know. BUT ISN'T IT?)

And, of course, Mariachi Band Mickey Mouse:

Say what you will about his music, but this guy will really stick his neck out for you.

Granted, Mariachi Band Mickey doesn't really have anything to do with summer OR winter, but in my defense, it's 65 degrees in here and I am REALLY COLD.

I bet a hot whoopie pie would taste good right now. We should find out. Who's with me?

Thanks to Kathleen F., Jessica A., Stacie B., Jennifer T., & Lydia H., who I'm sure will understand when I say this is all I could think of with that Mickey cake:

I just ordered this nifty 84-pc butterfly set to make a rainbow wreath, I think you crafters will love them:

(3D Butterfly Wall Magnet Set)

They're double-sided and come with both magnets and stickers. Definitely browse the projects in the reviews, there are so many pretty ideas!
