May 15, 2015 Some of my favorite new submissions this week.
If you have a daughter named Brandon, guess what you get asked the most?
;)
I'm kind of loving the piping gymnastics the baker had to go through to fit all that on there. Do you think at any point she stopped to wonder... ?
Naaaah.
Uh, guys? Did I miss something? Are brain cakes for babies a thing now?
;)
Because the pics of little Toby covered in red cake gore are seriously not safe for life.
Believe it or not, though, that's not the wreck. See, someone else wanted a cake just like that for their baby... but instead they got this:
;)
It looks like a big mushy ball of Mac n' Cheese. Which, let's be honest, is WAY BETTER THAN BRAIN CAKES FOR BABIES, mmkay? Yeesh.
Ok, maybe the brain cake is too divisive of an issue.
So can we at least agree that THIS is wrong?
;)
"Icing shots?!" With no cake?? FOR $2.00??
Whaddaya mean, you like that much icing? Are you INSAAAANE?
(Side Note: anyone else distracted by the "Dry Old German Chocolate" sign? I was about to be impressed by their honesty before I realized it's supposed to be "Day." Heh.)
Well, in the interests of minion harmony, let's end with a classic:
A birthday cake with "a big number 2 and stars on the sides."
;)
I guess there wasn't room to write "stars" on both sides.
Shame.
Thanks to Jennifer B., Amanda N., Kathleen, K.T. for bringing us only the second-best stars.

I thought the icing shots were from Muddy's Bakery here in Memphis, home of the wonderful Prozac cupcakes. Believe me, their icing shots would be cheap at twice the price!
Okay, anyone who names their daughter Brandon deserves what they get.
That "Sorry you're dead cake" would be hilarious to give to someone who LARPs!
That kid totally looks like he's saying "what is this? I asked for a TRAIN cake."
I would absolutely go for the icing shots! The icing is the best part of cake. No, I'm not kidding. When sharing cake with others, they scrape off their excess icing and give it to me. Nom nom nom!
Oh, I don't know how I missed this one. I cannot stop laughing about the icing shots and the dry-old German chocolate cake slices. You know, that kind of laugh that keeps coming back like gangbusters just when you think you are done with it.
Man, I had just wrangled through a hassle with my clinic at Walter Reed via email, and I needed this laugh like nobody's business. Thanks. Just thanks.
