The Top 12 Cakes To Bring To Your Family Reunion
July 30, 2013 The Top 12 Cakes to Bring To Your Family Reunion:
(Assuming your family has an excellent sense of humor.)
(Or you just don't like them.)
;)
With this many grammar errors, you can always blame it on your younger cousins.
;)
Make sure you insist everyone sing to him, too.
;)
Works best if your last name is Trumpet. Or if you have a bunch of sentient squabbling horns around.
(No, I don't know the back story. Feel free to imagine your own.)
;)
And this one works best if you there are either a bunch of teenage girls in your family, or none at all.
;)
Just like there's no place like the back seat for carrying home an ROUS and a giant ... log?
("Anybody want a peanut?")
;)
I *think* this was supposed to say "Lordy Lordy, look who's forty." I like the vaguely ominous portent-of-death vibe, though. And, hey, conversation starter!
;)
Because a little honesty can go a long way... towards getting everyone to leave early so you can go back to playing LEGO: Harry Potter.
;)
Mom always said to be positive. Or possibly "possitive."
;)
Serve with copious amounts of alcohol. Then:
;)
... set this one out while no one's looking, sit back, and watch the accusations fly.
;)
This is another one I don't have a back story on, but I like to imagine it was ordered by that Debbie Downer relative who's always going on about "kids these days" and how "we'll all belong to China in a few more years - just you watch."
Also, yes, that relative might be me. WHAT.
And finally:
;)
SO CLOSE to "family ruin," and yet ... so far. Drat.
WAY TO GET MY HOPES UP, BAKERS.
Hey Shelly G., Krissy M., Amy S., Lisa C., Judi D., Laura B., Lisa V., Nicole S., Susan S., MJ, Vanessa S., & Laura S., I think I speak for us all when I say, "what's that supposed to mean??"

@lisadh: Thank you --I appreciate your kindness... :-)
#9: Well, you see, there's hardware and software, then there's shareware and freeware, and then you have someware...
As a former band director I can tell you that the trumpet section is full of anal-retentive arrogant little Napoleons who love to squabble over every tiny detail. A trumpet's basic character is that they are the best trumpet player in history and any who do not agree, as in the director during chair tryouts is a complete tool and not worthy of their loyalty. Daring to play a piece that has a trumpet solo up for grabs is like throwing Banty roosters into a cage together. Watch the feathers fly!
The trumpet cake is definitely warning to the trumpet section in a band. I'd bet the written music is causing confusion, and they are fighting over whether that is a B or B flat....
And that "We Don't Like You Very Much" cake, what? They don't like them, but still got whoever a cake? Man, the people who DO like me never give me cake...
I bet the trumpet cake is for a bickering trumpet ensemble in a band.
Trumpets... Hmm. Maybe a band director telling their trumpet section to stop arguing, but in cake form?
Read those together: Lord Lord look who. We don't like you that much. I'm so positive today. It's 5 O'clock someware. I think it's a message.
The 2nd cake is our cake!!!! Omg. That's beyond exciting.
You have clearly never been in a high school band. Trumpets are pompous egotists. They argue. Yes, I'm a trumpet player.
Keep up the great work, CW!
