Armed To The Tea
February 22, 2017 Have you ever wandered through a bakery and thought, "Man, I could really go for a cake shaped like an arm holding a cup of hair right now"?
Well if so, then YOU are a very disturbed individual. Seriously. Maybe you should talk to someone.
But also, you're in luck!
Now, I know what you're thinking, and I completely agree. TOTALLY. But where would we even get a robot monkey at this hour?
You may also be wondering where the hair is.
There it is!
("I see...THE GRIM. And he's shedding like crazy.")
I'd say it looks like someone plucked out their mustache, but only because there are children present and I wouldn't want this to get too...public. (HI, KIDS.) I'd also go out on a limb and say this baker has single-handedly created the most disarming assault on the funny bone yet - but only because puns make me snort-giggle.
But in case that's not enough hair for you, fear not; there's more!
;)
Ick.
Er, I mean...talk about a hairy situation that must have taken a lot of elbow grease! Haha!
K, I think that's all I've got. SO, let the Professor Trelawney jokes...begin.
Thanks to Julia for reminding us of our universal right to bare arms. (Ok, that's the last one. Promise.)

What kind of party calls for that type of cake?! It's well done, but why??
Well, if nothing else, it IS a technological tour de force. Rather impressive.
"Waiter, there's a hair in my cake!" Most of the time Cake Wrecks features cakes that are so abstract they defy interpretation. Now this one is too realistic to be consumed without gagging.
The Old Tonsorial Way
Tricheomancy is a divination
or fortune telling method that interprets patterns
in loose strands of hair.
Trichomancy.com has a simple seven step method for practicing tricheomancy;
1. Make a cup of tea.
2.Steep your tea and quiet your mind.
3 Sip your tea while you find your focus.
4.Swirl tea three (3) times and empty cup.
5 Rub the tealess cup over a particularly hairy part of your body.
6.Identify symbols and jot them down. What you think you see is entirely up to you.
7.Create your tea leaf reading. What you think what you saw means-also entirely up to you.
Alternate method:
Skip steps 1 through 4.
Go directly to step 5 if you like that sort of thing.
Skip steps 6 and 7.
Make up some crap about your future.
You were definitely "armed to the teeth" with puns on this one :D
I do not see hair in that cup, I see tea leaves, That is because I make tea with loose tea and not with teabags, which, one must admit, are pretty useless for reading. Can't see into the future when it is packed in soggy paper.
They get points for trying something new and unusual, and minus a hundred more at the wtf factor and lack of hygiene. It clearly takes skill to get cake to do that, but WHY would they WANT to do that?
Urp
Well, in defense of the arm(going out on a limb, here)...I must defend the hairs against defamation. They are supposed to represent tea leaves (hence the gypsy).
And yes-the errant quill looks odd. I would be up in arms if that were MY cake!
=^~.-^=
Bwah @SuBee!
Let's see...Trelawny joke: Are you...in the beyond?
WHERE do you find these? Who'd a thunk up a thing like this????????
Well - the nailpolish is done nicely, but overall - GAH! I mean GAH - I would not want this in my house - too weird, creeptastic and... hairy. GAH.
"Snorting and laughing"....

Could any of you bake and decorate a cake that looks like an arm pointing up and holding a cup?
Time to get JTHOJ back in here with photoshop:
How about combining the Statue of Liberty with the cakewreck arm? Instead of holding the torch, lighting the way to freedom, Liberty can have an arm holding a teacup.
Without necessarily wanting to make a political comment here, it would be kind of fitting these days to have the Statue of Liberty saying, "Geez, don't ask me what's gonna happen next - read the tea leaves!"
Looks more like Umbridge's arm...the cake should be called Trelawny's Revenge!
It's leaning and it hasn't fallen down (at least not in the pictures) - maybe give them some kudos for that?? Just the same - WHY???
They forgot the fish.
Double hairy cake thumbs up for the Pinky and the Brain nod.
I actually didnt notice anything since I saw the extra finger. Couldnt help just staring at it.
Love the Trelawny references.
I think this is actually pretty well-done presentation of the idea of reading tea leaves
This is just weird!
Those are tea leaves, not hair, in that cup. Looks like they might even be real tea leaves, not even any kind of replica made from other materials. That's what steeped tea leaves look like after the liquid is drained. I dunno, this one's just not a wreck to me. It's a respectful, even impressive, rendition of a particular cultural custom.
I so wish that this webpage had an option for us to hit a like button on other people's comments! Not only do the wrecks and descriptions crack me up but the other commenters too! You guys always make my day!
Wendy: Why would we want to?
..and all the arm puns are so fitting right now... hope John's recovery is going well.
So now Thing has a possible girlfriend?
What in the world is that cup made of?
Ok if those are tea leaves they look suspiciously like spiders and now I freaked myself out lol. Yuck!
It never ceases to amaze me when commenters fail to grasp that Jen is joking about something. Of course she knows that mess in the cup is supposed to be tea leaves - notice the tea-leaf-reading quips! I drink loose leaf tea and it never looks hairy like that. Also funny to see people saying it's a good effort...I guess so, if they are trying to portray a strangely mangled cup (it's shape might make sense if tin, but not porcelain) and a really gross hand and arm...
I think the wreckiest part about this cake is that "g**sy" is racial slur.
Wish we could see the cake in the background better!
