Spellbinding
November 21, 2011 You know what makes a date like 11/11/11 even MORE "magical"?
A cake shaped like a beautiful leather-bound book of spells, of course!
Er... hang on, I have the right incantation around here somewhere...
A-ha! Here it is!
;)
"Expecto Vomitorium!"
I can see you're speechless.
I tend to have that effect on people.
And now, using only the powers of my mind, I will summon forth...
*poof!*
;)
the groom's underwear!
***
Well, well, well.
I see they don't call him "The Texas Longhorn" for nuthin'. [wink]
Speaking of which, have you met my trusty familiar, the frog formerly known as "Prince?"
;)
He's a naughty little thing, that frog; lately he's taken to robbing nunneries.
Try as I might, I just can't seem to get him out of the habit.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "my gosh, that was a fabulous pun."
Yes, yes it was.
However, you may also be thinking my froggy familiar looks more like an octopus.
Well, he's not.
In fact, every time I try to summon an octopus I just get one of these:
;)
Yeah. The Spirit World thinks it's a real "komeedianne."
Thanks to wiz kids Maddison S., Pete & Erica, Kristen J, & Lisa H., who'd rather pretend they didn't see that.

Wow that last cake (er cookie?) represents a new low for wreckinators. It looks like something the school cafeteria lady off of the Simpsons would make. Completely disinterested in the whole thing.
Kira's magical cake appears to be from Bountiful, Utah (or, perhaps, bountiful Utah.)
It makes me want to go to there to see what else they have to offer!
The Grooms Underwear looks something like a misshapen foot if you view it from a certain angle.
That's what I intend to do, view it as a misshapen foot from a certain angle.
Now, pretend this is my coment.
That frog! what interesting er, uh, feet. Yes, I have to wash my monitor and keyboard, again!
Okay, that's funny because I really WAS thinking: "my gosh, that was a fabulous pun."
Mind blown.
Are you sure that first cake isn't a tombstone? ...
Ugh, what horrid cakes
FWIW, a vomitorium is not what it sounds like. It's just a stadium exit.
I think my imagination can't pretend that even was an octopus.... nope looks like a circle still... sigh
(blinkblink)... Um... You guys ARE aware that a "nunnery" is not actually the same thing as a "convent", right? (Hint: When Ophelia drowns herself, it isn't because Hamlet has just told her to go become a nun).
[Editor's note- Technically, "nunnery" does mean "convent" in modern language. From Merriam Webster: Definition of NUNNERY: a convent of nuns. Is it also old English slang for brothel? I knowest not, cometh hath lo and spite mine eyes. -john]
That froggie must be a real stitch at a party, wearing his underwear on his head like that. "Pretend this is an octapus"?! What, so I can be even more repulsed? OK, here goes....
Octapus cookie,
ringed with olives, cherries? It's
pretend edible.
Oh, that's supposed to be the Texas Longhorn? My first thought was "uterus."
Then again, that might just be the pregnancy hormones...
Go Classic Steve Go!
Latin etymology
for the love of win!
Is it too late to wish these into the cornfield?
SuBee she already spelled "Pretend" correctly...
I think the frog needs to put on the underwear!
Or maybe he's just a youngin'...hasn't quite lost his tadpole tail...yeah, let's go with that! Please!
If I pretend that's an octapus, it's still not even close. I love how ambitious and prefectionist the decorator must be.
Kira seems to have celebrated 11-11-11 with a rectangular crepe covered in approximately two kilograms of peanut butter-- magical indeed.
@BADKarma: The meaning of Hamlet's speech is still a subject for debate; sometimes a nunnery is just a nunnery, and the scene still makes sense if that's the case. Between the ever-popular Texas Longhorn and the, erm, appendages on that frog, this post has plenty of double-entendres without dragging the Bard into it.
I just wanted to check in and see if you had 499 comments again today. Well, the day is young.
But, while I'm here, you *are* aware that "nuthin'" isn't really a word. The correct spelling is
n-o-t-h-i-n-g.
That first one is actually half-decent. I can't see anything wrong with decorating a cake in the shape of a book.
If you can't say something nice...
BOUNTIFUL, Utah. Home of the Magical Cement Slab Factory. Cement slabs in an array of colors to suit your every need/preference/desire...one of their best sellers is called, "Magical" (shown here). It was the *must have* choice for Kira. You probably don't know what's so magical about it, but then, YOU don't know Kira like I do.
Looks like someone licked the end/head/whatever of the "groom's underwear."
And frankly, those little blobs/embellishments around the edge hint at something a bit too fussy/fem to be for a man.
A real man wouldn't want chocolate blobs on his pants or someone licking it off...
...er...never mind.
Lindsey, I totally thought 'uterus', too, and I'm not pregnant!
Hey, that's my...I mean the groom's, underwear! I mean, I submitted the groom's underwear! I feel so wrecky-famous!
@Lindsey I thought "uterus" when I saw it, too!
Nun's habit? pshaw! that is clearly a(n) homage to the famous "Frog Zorro with codpiece" The artists name escapes me, it's in the Prada.
@Naomi - Think there's a nunnery at Epcot? Or built in to the Epcot bunker perhaps? :)
Yup,
I'm totally thinkin' it's a longhorn uterus. I'm not pregnant either.
Poor Kira. There's nothing magical about that "book". Nuthin' magical about the cake either.
#1 Now the concrete laying guy (?) is gonna have to re-smooth the top cuz Kira's gone and written in his nice new slab of concrete.
#2 Nice Package...? Ew.
#3 It looks like a shell-less Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. With socks.
#4 Yeah, and pretend I'm buying this hideous cookie. Here's my pretend money.
We had our baby on 11-11-11. Totally not planned like all the other weirdos. Complications required early c section, baby born about 5 weeks early. We're ok and home, but even these vomitorium cakes are making me want a birthday cake for the baby. I think I deserve one after being hacked open.
I hate to admit it but cake 2 immediately made me think of a speedo, and the song "Sexy and I know it " by LMFAO. Once you see the video it's hard to forget it, or scrub it from your mind's eye (ever).
Mmm...cake frosted with pate... :p
That frog cake is seriously creeping me out.
Mazal Tov Emily! Glad you and baby are ok. I would hesitate before requesting a cake though, given all the creepy baby cakes I've seen here....
Anyway, your baby probably wouldn't really appreciate the cake all that much, even if it wasn't a wreck.
Oh, man! Kira's ditched his Death Note AGAIN?
After seeing the "frog" cake I now must make an Early Cuyler (Squidbillies) cake. Or Granny... yeah... its gonna be fantastic!
I'm thankful I can pretend the uterus is a misshapen foot. ICK
second Kira I've seen this week, amazing to me. sad day its a wreck instead of a happy colorful cake.
i like this cake..yummmy..
I went to Texas and had no idea that was supposed to be a Longhorn until I read your comment.
A masked frog with a tiny penis. Now I've seen everything...today. I know there are many more wrecks that will make me want to vomit in the future.
And now, just for giggles, I want to make my own wreck. A CCC (patooey) shaped like an octopus. Maybe after the holidays! :-)
Is that a frog in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Kira must be a very happy girl, for she did only get one such abomination and for she wasn't born two month earlier.
