SPRING ME
March 20, 2017 It's the first day of Spring, minions, so forget the forecast, throw on some flip-flops, and break out the finger flowers!
;)
AW YEAH FINGER FLOWERS.
(At least it beats a knuckle sandwich? Yes? No? Shall I show myself out?)
Yep, there's nothing like Spring flowers, with all their bountiful riots of color:
;)
...and cheer:
;)
...and color:
;)
...and unintentional wangs:
;)
Those are some flowers with serious... stamen-a.
(Pollination humor HEYOOOO.)
So whether you're currently freezing your daisy dukes off or cranking the A/C like a pansy, here's wishing you a very:
;)
I think it's Dutch.
Thanks to Amy H., Heather B., Sara S., Mica, Ashley F., & Steven V. for putting the "zing" back in "Speinz." Or something. I dunno. Look, it's Monday. You're lucky I'm even HERE today.

I'm in awe of the "Carrot Cutlass Wreath of Horror" border around the last one!
Turn loose the naked Mohawk babies! I see unbridled carrots around that last cake!
That adorable bee cookie deserved to be in a Sunday sweets bouquet, and not that fleshy monstrosity. And although the brown roses were pretty well done, why make such a beautiful flower mud brown?!
Double Dutch, more likely.
#3 let's us all know it's okay to have a cake for a tortoise funeral, with charming little reminders of what you had to clean up before it was no more, had ceased to be, expired and gone to meet its maker, become a late reptile ...
Pretty sure that first cake isn't keeping kosher, if you know what I mean.
At first I didn't see the wang shape on that CCC (patooie!), then I realized the shape came from the white frosting that was under the illustration and not the illustration itself. Ok.
Those grey roses seem to blooming at the border of the flaming forest of death. I bet Westly knew how to survive that one too. ;)
Was the last one trying to use coiled springs in the lettering of 'spring'?
Why did they label the brown roses (ick) "Cupcake Critters"??
Technically... cement gray IS a color......
:D Hoppy Spinz!! Those leech-y finger flowers are horrifyingly delicious.
Do you pronounce that as "Speen squiggly' or 'Spine-squiggly' or 'S-quiggly-een-squiggly'? Maybe it needs an oomlout. At least they didn't try to spell Vernal Equinox.
Dibs on the first one! SOLID ICING all the way down to the paper!!!
Y'know, that top cake isn't too bad. An awful of icing for a cup cake, but a lot better than grey roses and - what is that? - caviar? on the second one down. Fish eggs and icing. Yum!
That carrot corral is mildly disturbing. And I can't say what the finger cupcake frosting appears to be. No, really, I can't say it.
Must be the sinus infection making me loopy, but that last cake (and @CreatveKimmySue's commentary about it) made laugh until I cried!
Number 1 isn't that bad - principally because of the purple bee.
Noooo maggots!!
It took me a while to get the "kosher" comment, but then it came to me.
Cranking the AC like a pansy? It is 95 degrees here! Those are all seriously crazy cakes!
I almost spit my drink at the "I think it's Dutch" line.
Happy Speinz everyone!
That first one is nothing but uncut Wang.
I still think those fingers look more like long pig snouts surrounding the poor butterfly cookie which at first I thought was plastic flotsam lol. But the more I look the more snouts I see...eeeek.
"Fingers." Yeah. Right. ;)
They definitely aren't Kosher!
That stamen-a pun was *awful*! I'm afraid I'll have to place you under arrest.
*draws pistil*
As a Dutch, I do not understand the last one. Oddly curved carrots and squiggly messy writing doesn't scream Dutch to me.
I just had a baby boy so #1 immediately hit me as THE WORST gender-reveal pastry in the history of EVER.
@Joyce: I think it's the foreign-seeming "Speinz" that throws it into Dutch territory. Or German. (Hungarian?)
And is it just me, or do the finger flowers look more like maggots than appendages? Giant, squishy, horrifying maggots.
Plastic bee. And I can't decide whether it's on a bed of baby sandworms (Dune), baby Go'a'ould (Stargate) or albino those creepy caterpillars that form a heads down scrum and slap their tails (We call them Spitfires) http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_sawflies/images/DSC_5197n.jpg
Fleurs du mal!
The second one looks like the 'finger flowers' from the first cake piled in circle and poo piled in middle.just saying what I saw. And people get money for this. Lord have mercy.
