Cloverfield Scares
March 16, 2015 Tomorrow's the day, everyone!
Yep, the day when bakers try - and mostly fail - to remember what a shamrock looks like.
Here, guys, I'll give you a hint:
;)
NOT THIS.
;)
OR THIS.
They're also not lumpy Xs:
;)
Broccoli stalks:
;)
Wonky crosses:
;)
Or cacti!
;)
Got all that?
Ok... GO.
;)
See, now you're just screwing with me.
Tell you what, bakers, just go back to making leprechauns.
;)
I mean pots of gold.
;)
I mean rainbows.
;)
OH NEVER MIND.
Thanks to Sheree K., Jerod J., Marisa F., Vanessa L., Paula P., Adrienne L., Julie S., Liz, Michael L., & Cara D. for proving there IS such a thing as too much green beer.

I wanted a cake that really ROCKS...and all I get is these. What a SHAM.
OoohhhhNOooooooo-!That last one is not what I was hoping it could be! It is the linear-striped, golden bomb-laden MUSHROOM CLOUD of DOOOOOOOOMMMMmmm....!!!!!! [SAVE yourselves-don't even sample those things; you'll die even sooner.] =^-.-^=
Methinks the bakers have had just a wee nip of the irish whiskey
Aye these will make me go "Worra" or should I say "imnì" me boyo.
Isn't that last one the mushroom cloud that resulted after the nuclear incident caused by the previous cakes?
There once was an unqualified baker
Who aspired to be a shamrock maker
There was a piping spree
On a (pitooey!) CCC
But though green, no one would take 'er.
Oh, but the second one is soooo sweet, with the flowers and the squigglies. It made me think of an interpretive dancer doing their thing.
Are we absolutely sure that first one is supposed to be a shamrock and not a ginkgo leaf?
At least most of them seem to realize that a shamrock has 3 leaflets, and not 4, and that each one is shaped like a heart. So simple, so hard to mess up...
I kind of liked #2, someone worked very hard on all those flourishes even if it only has three instead of four leaves.
I love how the pot of gold looks like it has bear ears instead of handles.
Umm... That PanWow guy has worms coming out of his face. He might want to get that looked at. o.O
So, none of these bakers are Irish, or at least, their customers are not. Very unlucky.
@ DB: LOVE your little limerick!
Just, y'know, for reference.

The leprechaun got me. Is his beard reminds me of Gaines Burgers? Anyone else remember Gaines Burgers? Still giggling.
OK... I *get* (but don't accept) how people have trouble with shamrocks or four-leaf clovers.
But a RAINBOW?!
Sheesh... All they have to do is a diagonal of red, yellow and blue and it would pass. They could look at Captain Eo for that simple reference...
(But then again they'd probably try to make a leprechaun looking like Jackson... Vaguely.)
Okay, I screamed at the panwow dude...that's one scary ass leprechaun...scarier than the movie...Leprechaun. I'd rather watch the movie than ever get that as a *allegedly* cake. Love the limerick DB, it's very Irish of you to limerick us today...thank you so much!
Well, don't go kissing people tomorrow just because they "say" they are Irish, ask for proof first.
Is it just me, or does anyone else see polyps in a hurricane when they look at wonky shamrock ccc (ptooie!) #7?
Look at #7 again. If your tilt your head to the right they look like green penises with...three scrotums?
Why, baker? Why would you ever make such a thing, let alone two of them?
"See, now you're just screwing with me" --Ha! Good one, Jen. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice the bizarre genital resemblance.
Why!? Why!? Why do people INSIST on trying to make cupcake cakes into things they shouldn't? (Or for that matter, why do people make cupcake cakes at all??)
Did anyone else see a Care Bear viciously attacked by a Franklin Mint coin collection in the bag of gold? No? Just me?
The pot of gold doubles as a Care Bear with coins for a face
The final "shamrock" cake looks like a staghorn kidney stone! :D
Actually I didn't think the second one was all that bad, for a CupCakeCaketastrophe. No, it doesn't look much like a shamrock (unless you really squint and tilt your head- and don't hurt your neck), but the flowers and vines are nicely done. But the rest... I've got nothin' . That pot of gold looks like a lumpy bear that had a leprechaun use its face for target practice. And I've seen kindergartners do better rainbows. Yeeeeesh.
@ Nagzilla - yes! It *does* look like a ginko leaf!
Cake #9 looks more like Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons.
Cake #10 Pot, yeah. Of gold? Ummm,I think someone was using pot of a different color! Looks kind of like a scary Care Bear.
#2 is kind of pretty. Lumpy, but pretty.
Irish these people knew how to decorate cakes.
Nagzilla's ginkgo....check.
DB's perfect limerick....check.
Dina's reference to Gaines Burgers.....check.
What a lucky day.

Oh man can't wait til tomorrow. I am imagining a bunch of angry leprechauns chasing after pots of gold that look like cheese wheels on steroids lol. Let's see if wreckerators drink too much green beer and attempt pots of gold lol.
She's chopping broccolay hay hay hey heeeee. Just wow, they're a heated mess
So that's what it would look like if Creeping Coins attacked a Care Bear...
