Sunday Sweets: For Mom
May 13, 2012 When it comes to moms, we here at Cake Wrecks know there's really no comparison.
But John and I are going to give it a try anyway.
Here goes:
Moms are like giraffes.
;)
By Mama B.'s Cakes, via
They'll gladly stick their necks out for us.
Moms are like fine wine.
;)
They only improve with age.
(Jen: Plus some of them are hard to put a cork in.)
(John: JEN!)
(Jen: Sorry.)
Moms are like hot air balloons.
;)
By Sweet Tiers
They raise us up.
(John: Aw, I love that song.)
(Jen: I know, right?)
(John & Jen: You raise me uuuuup! So I can stand on MOUN-taaaaiins! You RAAAAISE me UuuUUup! To walk on stormy seeeeaass!)
Moms are like master chess players.

They're always a couple moves ahead of you.
Moms are like toasters.
;)
If you push their buttons, they can really heat up.
(Jen: You call that buttering her up?)
(John: You're right. Maybe I should offer her a toast. That always gets me out of a jam.)
(Jen: You want a pat on the head for those crumby puns?)
(John: Oooh, BURN.)
Moms are like art palettes.
;)
By Cupcake Envy
They help us show our true colors.
(Jen: Is it too early for another sing-along?)
(John: Yes. So just hum it.)
Moms are like onions.
(John: NOW who's not being complimentary?)
(Jen: No, no, hear me out:)
;)
By Cake Chérie
They have a lot of layers.
(John: Oh, ok. That's not too bad...)
Plus if you chop them up, you'll probably cry.
(John: JEN!!)
(Jen: What? Am I wrong?!)
Moms are like pirates.
;)

Some of them have killer right hooks.
(John: Maybe you should have remembered that before the onion thing.)
(Jen: Good point.)
Moms are like crime scene tape.
;)
By Cake Hero
You never want to cross them.
(John: Um...maybe we should be focusing on more positive things.)
(Jen: You're right. How's this?)
Moms are like lighthouses.
;)

They guide us home through the storms of life,
so we're not dashed on the rocks of disappointment,
and pecked to death by the seagulls of despair.
(John: I like it.)
All silliness aside, we wish all you moms out there - and especially ours - the happiest of Mothers' Days, and hope that at some point today you'll get at least five minutes' peace:

And maybe even a nice bubble bath.

Note from john: This post was originally entitled "Motherly Metaphors" but as R3Test pointed out in the comments, these are actually similes. Bwoops. I guess it's mildly ironic because my mom was actually an English teacher so I probably should have known that. Also, Jen should never let me name a post at 4am.

Omg Marlo, good eyes! I was distracted by the amazing cake and totally missed the shadowy figure!
I laughed out so loud on the onion one that I scared my child. If that isn't the mark of a comic genius, I don't know what is. :)
LOVE it! Describes my mom perfectly.. every single thing.
I think.
Probably.
Also, I 100% don't believe that the wine one is a cake. I do not believe it one bit.
Keep up the awesome!
the toaster cake is so awesome!!! But the Seagulls of Despair made me LOL ! Awesome post and may I continue to be the light house my kids need!
I can't believe you didn't run with SOME MOMS ARE FULL OF HOT AIR, like the balloon cake ;)
when I saw the one of the hot air balloon.. my thought was and some Moms are full of hot air.
not mine of course.... lol
I'm glad you didn't mention anything about her "booty" for the Pirate cake.
The last cake-the book it is based on is awesome!
my dog was looking at me like I am an idiot.....I laughed so hard I snorted!! I love the onion one best....well the duet was awesome as well!!!!
2 thumbs up! sorry i missed it on Sunday, it would have made my day! :)
Hi all, pretty new to all this but just had to say that I was so busy reading and laughing at the comments that I forgot to look at the cakes. Had to go back and check them out, and there all awesome. Must admit, the 5 minutes of peace sums up my life perfectly. LOL
Similies are Metaphors so Motherly Metaphors still works. Simlies are like roses and metaphors are flowers, get it?
OMG! I LOVE your comments on the onion, can't stop laughing!!!
I was shocked with the hot air balloon comment didn't devolve into
...They're full of hot air!
