February 12, 2016 A few of my favorite submissions this week:
You and me both, Tiffany:
;)
You and me both.
Her baby's name is Izzy, but apparently the bakery thought Bonnie was a fan of Japanese cars?
;)
Meanwhile, Laura asked for a "big monogrammed P" on her cake:
;)
I'll be honest, I was kinda hoping that would go a different way.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this next cake, you guys:
;)
It is glorious and should inspire all your future birthday cakes.
ALL OF THEM.
The History Of This Next Cake, Which Is Also My Favorite This Week:
Baker: "Oh wow, these icing roses turned out GORGEOUS!"
[head tilt]
...I should add a bunch of sh*t around them."
;)
Thanks to Tiffany H., Bonnie F., Laura C., Dawna Z., & Mindy H. for helping me give John the best Valentines present: my man LOVES him some poop jokes. YOU'RE WELCOME, BABE.

Don't fear, little kitty! Actually, your expression never changes so I have no idea what you are thinking or feeling. But that cake, as Jen says, is glorious and should be given to everyone on their birthday.
The swirling piles of pooh with those beautiful big roses? *Hrk*
So here's hoping that since the actual sides (side? what's appropriate for the vertical area of a round cake?) are not dark, that at least the cake inside is dark chocolate or devil's food or something.
How do you confuse Darth Vader and Hello Kitty? Seriously?
While writing "Big P" is obviously not what was ordered, what is a "big, monogrammed P" supposed to look like? I thought a monogram by definition involved multiple letters. The only thing I can think of that I'd describe as a "monogrammed P" is a letter P with a smaller monogram (consisting of at multiple letters) entirely written on the larger letter, but that makes little sense and the customer would have had to specify the letters for the monogram.
The 'dognuts' look more like mini potatoes to me... the Hello Kitty one is glorious, though. Glorious.
Soooo close with the last one.....
The last baker should remember that less is more....Also, Hello Kitty is the tour guide to the dark side, don't let that innocent exterior fool you
Well, you can't expect lovely big roses without good manure.
Finally, someone has found a use for those parts left over from dog neutering! Here in Wyoming we have our Rocky Mountain oysters -- why not dog nuts? (For the record, I grew up on a ranch and have never, and WILL never, try a Rocky Mountain oyster!)
Hope little Isuzu has a happy life!
As Hello Kitty has taught us, there can be no good without evil. I believe the last cake illustrates this lesson beautifully. Thank you.
Those roses really are quite gorgeous so, yes, why indeed accent with icing poo emojis? But even more perplexing, what are those horrid ginseng-looking, tuberous-weedy-root like things creeping out ( and creeping me out) from under the poo and blossoms? Ewww.
Having actually met a little Lexus AND a baby Camrey, Isuzu isn't that bad.
Go big P!
(and Happy poopy Valentine's Day.)
That's the sort of nickname that could stick.
"Mom, why do people call me the name of a car?"
"Well, sweetie, it all started when we were ordering your birthday cake..."
There is one tiny thing wrong with the Hello Kitty cake: her nose is usually yellow. Otherwise, that's an awesome cake!
Maybe Outkast ordered that last one.
"I know you'd like to think your (*bleep*) don't stank,
But lean a little bit closer, see,
Those roses really smell like poo-poo-oo..."
Isuzu Bean is an improvement on Izzy Bean.
The pink roses must have come ready made; it's difficult to imagine a decorator being that good on petals and that bad on leaves; otherwise, the color combination is lovely.
A delightful day. My mind is paralyzed. Delicious!
Beautiful icing roses - their fragrance is an instant laxative.
Just sad.
Hello Kitty is a powerful and indomitable creature, as those who followed Hello Cthulhu will know:

are the roses white or pink?
@Onyx: By definition, a monogram involves a SINGLE letter. Mono = one. Poly = many.
Please refrain from posting further StarWars Episode VIII spoilers. I was crushed to discover Supreme Leader's true identity on Friday Favs. On the other hand, if this cake symbolizes Rey's parentage is Kitty/Skywalker, all is forgiven!
Maybe for the last one someone asked them to put "roses and sh*t" on their cake?
@Amanda H:
From Oxford English Dictionary: Monogram (noun) "A motif of two or more letters, typically a person’s initials, usually interwoven or otherwise combined in a decorative design, used as a logo or to identify a personal possession."
I.e., one motif/logo/design (thus, monogram) made from a combination of multiple letters. A single letter is...just a letter. What would make it a monogram rather than simply a big letter P?
I think Hello Kitty is creepier than Darth Vader and Kylo Ren combined, so a definite cake win!
After mentally scanning the names of every Star Wars character I could remember, desperately trying to find one that sounds, even remotely, like "Hello Kitty", I've got nothing. Perhaps it translates from Chewbacca in some language.
I should have know better then to eat soup and read Cake Wrecks....................had to clean my computer screen.
Amanda H: No, a monogram is two or more letters combined to make a single symbol. You can't have a 'monogrammed P' because there's only one letter. It would simply be an ornate P. But you can have a monogrammed XP -- the Greek letters Chi and Rho, the first letters of 'Christos', superimposed to make a symbol for 'Christ'.
"Baker, those icing roses are too static. I want some MOVEMENT on that cake!"
Apparently that last cake is for someone who thinks that their s**t smells like roses...
One the last cake, the roses seem to be white with pink airbrushing, amirite?
Shirley, roses...manure - Brava!
Maybe that section of missing border on the Hello Kitty cake actually IS the path to the dark side
I love that Hello Kitty cake. Might just have to get it for my birthday lol as for those gorgeous roses.. who pooped and ruined the beauty of that cake? Blech!
@ Tauna -- you win for causing my "spit-take". Love it....Roses and sh*t...
Overall, Jen and writers, well done ... very well done!
The roses *are* nice. What's wrong with the roses?
I bet they bought those white and pink roses. You can get gum paste flowers online. Whoever made the turds and squiggles doesn't have the talent to sculpt those flowers
My two year old would love the Hello Kitty cake, being a fan of both elements. She walks around humming the Imperial March all day. Sometimes saying words to go along with the tune.
Then at the end of the day, one of the lullabyes we must sing to her is the opening theme. I sometimes try humming throne room or celebration, but then I get scolded.
Fertilizer?
