May 12, 2017 Some of my favorite new submissions this week:
Amy guessed "spleen." I'm thinking... croissant?
;)
...that's shaped like a spleen?
Either way, it's a red-letter day for organ-loving birthday celebrants everywhere.

And when your gender reveal cake reveals more about your baker's reading comprehension:

PLOT TWIST: They're not pregnant, they're just really sneezey.

Grad season is upon us! Get ready to increase your vocabulary!

And finally, my Clearance Rack Find of the Week:

So say we all.
Thanks to Amy P., Violaine P., Judy H., Lori H., & Candy S. for the chicken scratch.

Last one:…more like "Scratch the chicken, Ma. It done died" (See the little 'Ma" down in the corner. Must have been done by the Dog Patch Bakery. Cleatus, the decorator gradiated grade 3, don't ya'll know?)
That last one proves there really is a cake for every life event. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEN!
I see a liver
You see a spleen there
Some see a croissant
Cupcake cake with flair
A liver, a spleen there
It's tru-ly bad, I swear
Let's call the whole thing off...
Actually, when I look at the first photo, I see a gleeful headless cheerleader ghost jumping for joy. It may well be Melodie's ghost.
My guess for the spleen/croissant is a fortune cookie. Maybe?
Did they make that edging on the dead chicken cake look like stuffed eggs on purpose? That would make the sorrow worse.
Sad thing about the mortarboard one is they spelled it correctly but made the errors of in putting the words "with mortarboard " on it, and inexplicably capitalizing the "b."
Pretty sure the first one is a fortune cookie - it looks like the "Happy Birthday" is supposed to be on a slip of paper, maybe?
Also, that last one...lol
Too funny! Love that first one. It's spleen-did.
The Chicken Died cake looks as thought there are tiny "nips" around the edge to add to the awfulness.
That first one... sweetbreads. Seriously.
(Be sure to employ da Google if you're not sure what I'm talking about!) bahahaaa!
Congratulations! It's a baby!
(Happy Birthday, Most-High Cakey Goddess of Snark and Geekiness! Doing that from memory...did I get it right?)
Is that dead chicken cake using some sort of chicken math?
Originally $29.99
Now $7.7?
Save $11.20
Must be some strange math symbol we can't see and that I've never been taught after that second 7.
I thought the border on the chicken cake all look like nipples!
What I find mind-boggling is that the original price for the chicken cake was $29.95!
The chicken cake - are those nipples around the edges??
Yea I got nothing. Just how?!?!??!
Please be kind @AngelaS. One cannot be expected to do math when grieving one's beloved chicken.
#1> almost looks like a little lamb.....round ears, round little head....(aww).I don't think it likes playing the organ. It gets hot inside that crust.
#two: A birthday's as good a day as any, right? When you gotta go, you -Okay! I'll hush up!
III~ "CHOO!"?
FORE!....at least it wasn't a design of an outboard mortorboard....
fifth:> Is that a cake or a chicken pot pie?
@ Shirley: I thought it were Jethro Clampett what done gradiated the 3rd grade!
Huh.... =^~.-^=
'Scuse me, but when I look at the first cupcake cake, the words "Happy Birthday" do not immediately come to mind.
Personally, I have not yet been able to accept the whole "cupcake cake" phenomenon.
Thank you for the "snort out loud" laugh you gave me at the "die" slice of cake. That family must be an offshoot of mine!
Happy Birthday, Jen!
I've finally figured out the identity of the CCC (ptui!) in #1: It's the dead chicken! E's expired and gone to meet 'is baker!
That first one was what happened after Ziggy from the greeting cards got stuck in an acid rain storm.... and I LOVE how the last one refers to a dead chicken while being written in chicken scratch! Twas a nice touch.
Happy Birthday Jen! I hope your cake is identifiable!
When I worked out in a rural area, one of my co-workers had a laying hen called "Floppy." (Long story, involving a very close call with a fox.) One of Floppy's more...unusual...characteristics was the tendency to settle down to roost with both feet sticking straight out in front of her.
When the hen finally died, I asked my co-worker whether there was a brief memorial service, followed by interment in a thick, fragrant broth bath with vegetables under a flaky crust. She gave me a dirty look; hey, I thought country people were all matter-of-fact about the grim realities of life! Apparently we must draw the line at Floppy Pot Pie.
The third one looks like the alien is about to pop out of it.
Could the first cake be a silk worm/spleen hybrid? I wouldn't put it past wreckerators lol.
"Save $11.20" says it all!
"And then the chicken exploded!"
"Corn'll give 'em gas alright!"
First thing I thought of on that last cake.
Does that last one mean the chicken came back to life?
What I love is that the last one isn't a special order, but is out there for general sale! 3 possibilities:
- this is a very chicken-loving community, and the baker likes to be prepared
- the cake was a special order which was rejected (and no wonder)
- the cake didn't sell as a blank sheet cake decorated round the rim, so the baker reduced the price and suggested his 6-year-old write something on it to make it more attractive.
My money is on the second option.
Cake number one looks like a pancreas. Or possibly a horribly diseased liver.
You COULD have said "Clearance Wreaks" for the chicken cake. :-D
