Because We Need More Holidays
November 21, 2009 It's been SO LONG since Halloween, and Thanksgiving isn't 'til Thursday, so what's a bakery to do?
Invent a holiday that goes in-between, of course! So...
Merry Hallowgiving!And after THAT, we'll have Thankmas:
...during which we'll all desperately try to avoid actually using the term "Thankmas" for fear of offending someone, and poo tornadoes will emblazon every hearth. Aww. Don't you just love the holidays winter?
Kate F., & Nikki B., I think "winter, underlined" is going to be my holiday greeting of choice this year. Care to start a trend with me?

*For some reason I initially had "turkey" capitalized. When I proof-read it later, I wondered why (not to mention how) a zombie pilgrim would try to force-feed someone a Mediterranean country. Which made me snort. Loudly. I even considered leaving it. But we all know what would happen then, right? EPCOT. Yeeeah.

Happy Poo Tornadoes day everybody! We needed another holiday, Falker Satherhood is so far away! And now I'm going to go round singing "Walking In A Winter Underlined" for the next few days. Even though it's Summer here.
@NikkiK: That, was, Epc0t!
@jen: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!! and a non descript Winter (underlined) season to you too!
PS forgive me a quote "...I'm open to suggestions, Frost-giving, the Frost of July, Frost-hog day..."
I'm not seeing the hippo--more like a manatee I think, real stubby front flippers!
As someone from the southern hemisphere, I find the term 'winter' offensive. I vote we adopt the phrase 'Happy particular time of the year'.
Who is in charge of the screening process to hire these cake decorators? SERIOUSLY, I need to know!
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for....

turning the stomach!
@Harry F: awesome, science-geek-cake-jokes rule!

WV: I've stared in hororr at the wrceks so long, my conreas are hurting!
what i would really like to do is ask for the people who ordered both of those cakes what they were possibly thinking. like, gravy dripping from fangs? and why is his face yellow? is he having food poisoning? poo tornadoes {snicker}
Is it possible that the vampire cake was someone's pathetic attempt to make a New Moon (Twilight) cake? Trying to capitalize on the moving just coming out maybe? Just a guess.
Why, of course -- these cakes are just in time for Sucksgiving, which happens to be on Nov. 22!

"and poo tornadoes will emblazon every hearth"
You realize you're a literary genius, right? This has a kind of neo-Dickensian quality to it...an odd twist to "A Christmas Carol." God bless us every one, indeed.

If you're desperate for a post Halloween holiday, what better than Hallowmas, the day after Hallowmas?
Lest the rest of us not forget Festivus, where you set up a bare aluminum pole (nevermind the distracting tinsel,) air grievances at relatives, give cards to "the Human Fund," and have a Feats of Strength wrestling match to end the day.
Are you sure that's a Thankmas cake? I thought for sure it was to raise awareness for a clean colon.
Get a colonoscopy...and a piece of cake. Poo=Delicious
Lol at the "Turkey" edit. I found it especially funny because I moved to Turkey 5 months ago.
People are always so shocked when I tell them you can't find turkeys in Turkey. Like, SHOCKED. Did people really believe the two had anything to do with each other? They probably also believe that all the people in Hungry are starving.
Turkeys are native to North America and aren't common in Europe and Asia, so I will be making roast chicken for this year's holiday. Not the same, but still delicious!
Thanks as always for the laughs.
Ahh yes. Nothing says holidays to me more than whirlwinds of excreta. Especially the ones with multi-hued M+Ms stuck in their odiferous funnels....
Are you really not over "Epcot" YET? It's well past time to move on.
@anony./9:43p.m.-- ...which could be shortened to just, "Happy."
(Though it may still be offensive to the depressed.)
Festivus for the restivus!
Jen lives in the Land of Epcot, and she can Epcot all she wants. Epcot away, Jen!
wv: trony-- She can be trony, too, if she feels like it. :P
what Michelle said... POO TORNADOS HA HA HA HA HA HA HA I'm dying over here!
Happy Thanksoween Jen!
at least the Hallowgiving cake recognizes Thanksgiving, rather than some certain theme parks (one of which may or may not be my employer) which start having their Christmas parties the week after the last of the Halloween parties.
Holy sh*t (heh) - you had me at "poo tornadoes".
LOL @Julie regarding "December, underlined"!
Funny story...my family ACTUALLY celebrates Thanksmas every year. Due to snowbird grandparents, we have Thanksgiving on Thursday and Christmas on Friday. It's a GREAT holiday - don't knock it 'til you try it!
Um, Jen, when you said Epcot, you meant Spaceship Earth, right? Hopefully, 75 more people will follow my lead and make the same comment...else you won't lern nuthin! :)
Poo Cornucopias just scream holiday cheer to me.
(oh dear Lord)
WV: Ingstin: I wouldn't be ingstin these cakes if you paid me!
I actually snorted at this one. Epcot. Winter Underlined. I'm embracing it ALL!
LOL! Very funny! ;)
Good job, y'all! That final turkey/Turkey comment made me snort out loud in an otherwise very VERY quiet office.
Thanks for the laugh, really. This day was sucking badly till that.
I am rolling. Poo tornadoes? Good stuff.
"poo tornadoes" !!!!!!!! I just found your blog and I am sitting here wiping the tears from laughter !
I barely recovered enough from the last post to read this one, and I can't stop laughing now...
Thank you for improving my day every time I read this blog. Thank you so much.
Happy holidays.
And if you look at the poop tornado at the top, it looks like a hippo. :)
OMG!! I am in stitches!! I have spent my day at work thumbing through the cake disasters and bursting out loud with laughter to the bemused looks of my work collegues. I am soooo grateful that you spend the time loading these wrecks onto the site for our amusement it certainly made a dull day a lot brighter.
