Friday Favs 3/24

Today's post is dedicated to the American Hero who added a bottle of Jack Daniel's to this display:
Bless you, sir/madam. Bless you.
Um...
Please tell me I'm not the only one who immediately saw this:
Just me?
Bakers, I imagine parenthood is tough enough. You really shouldn't go adding to the stress level with Prom goofs like this:
0.o
Please tell me this was delivered to her house.
Also, bakers, 'fess up: which one of you decided chocolate icing was a good call here?
Which brings me to the headline of the week:
A cake decorator with "no construction experience" building a sewage plant? CLEARLY this reporter has never read Cake Wrecks:
Cake decorators get all KINDS of experience constructing sewage plants.
Though I'm guessing/hoping these ones smell better.
"Howdy, doody."

Children's cakes, Children's toys AND A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY? Add that to the "Irish" cake from a couple of days ago…what is going on in your country? (besides the obvious)
This is America, where you don't need experience in your chosen field to get ahead. Now, I have to go. I have to perform an appendectomy at 10:15 and I'm officiating at a wedding at 3:00.
If all goes well, I'll have time to stop back later so someone can explain the whole polar bear underwear thing. I have so many questions.
I really really REALLY need to see the news article that cake-decorator-cum-construction-company thing is from.
Without even scrolling down, the match maker was the EXACT picture that popped into my head when I saw that frog cake!
"There's a snake in my boot!"
*Insert crappy job joke*
Wow! Photo #7 REALLY looks like it has some poo on it. Probably the worst poo cake I have seen on your blog! It is one that I would seriously reconsider eating if I were to see it in person.
Hail Ye American Hero! Thou hast madeth my day.
I do recall my younger son sometime in his late teens requesting that his birthday cake be decorated to look like a toxic waste dump. But I went with the approach of chemical and nuclear waste, with glowing colours and things being eaten away by acids - even went as far as greenish sludge in a pond, but somehow managed to avoid the poopy themes.
DH just glanced over while the "polar bear" cake was on the screen, and said "how weird, a corn hole board cake".
I can see myself putting the "hooch-y koo" up there! I'd maybe even sneak a little sign in there saying "Have a snort...set a spell...take your shoes off....Y'all come back, now...Hear?"
=^~.~^=
Omigosh, that cake decorator really did get a $7million construction contract! Those 240 taxpayers would have to pay $29,167 each for construction.

Sewage plant construction... it's not like cake decorating where you can just cover up an error with a piece of plastic flotsam, or a swipe of a spatula.
What's going on with that frog?!?
Jim Beam looks a bit more like Jack Daniels, or even Lee & Perrin's Worcestershire sauce. None of which belongs on a cake....but look where we are.;-)
Somebody poisoned the water hole!
Here is a link to the article:

OMG. Doodys + cakes. Not exactly like 'peas + carrots' or 'cake + ice cream' or even 'hot dogs + beer' !!!!
@sendingintheclowns - I'm with your idea! Cheers! And I really mean that!!!!
Laughing hysterically!

OK - I am willing to admit it would take some part of a bottle of JB to get me through the average kids birthday party.
Brown Polar Bear - Global warming?
Perhaps Steven is a deer hunter and the piles of deer scat really are a good thing, or perhaps not since he is just 3.
All those dump trucks full of poo, have none of these bakers ever seen a "dirt cake" I guess that's only a home cook (non professional) thing where crumbled brown sandwich cookies are used surprisingly successfully as - Yes - DIRT - well along with gummy worms and stuff.
For the frog cake, I see 'Reduced Save $4.99, You pay $4.99'.
For the love of Mike, I canNOT see that cake costing $9.98!!!
That sixth cake gives a whole new meaning to "dump truck". What on earth were they thinking?
Yes just another day here in New Zealand with fraudsters giving out contracts to Cake Decorators. I'm turning them down all the time.
Um, that "Jim Beam" bottle is clearly labeled Jack Daniel's.
That this was posted on my birthday makes it so much better. Or worse, take your pick.
Nobody said it yet? Happy Turd Birthday!
That is not a frog "cake" it is a collection of cupcakes hiding under green and black frosting.

I'm sure you've seen this?
Hasn't anyone ever been to a chuck e. Cheese birthday party? They serve beer to adults for a reason. Ok, 2 reasons...
I remember that line from Mulan!
"Now, pour the tea. As a lady you need to present an air of *makes mustache with ink* dignity"
*Mulan's staring absolutely catatonic at the sight causing the teacup to overflow and spill all over the table*
Lol well I always knew children's parties were stressful but never did catch mom or dad drinking Jack Daniels unless they were just to clever for me to find them lol.
As I was getting ready for my child's birthday party
I grabbed a bottle of JD and thought I was a smarty
Figured I could hide it and then drink all afternoon
But I wrapped it when I got dizzy, inflating that balloon
Oh my god, I'm doomed, I'm done
What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?
There's whiskey for the child
The booze helps endure the kid's party. It's essential. :P
And no comment on "Samirel" getting a cake on the last image.
"Porn, yes or no?" H**l no! Nasty!
