Yup... Still Screaming
January 15, 2019 [singing] Double your pleasure, double your...
;)
Never mind.
When Jeff's co-worker retired, they decided to go with a golfing sentiment on the cake. Appropriate, because look how well the baker teed them off!
;)
Ahh, if only ALL the gruss was grenner, am I right?
Here's another stencil malfunction, but one only you Australian readers will appreciate:
;)
To be fair, I hear it's easy to get turned around Down Under.
(Via this article, which gets major props for calling it the "cake that flipped a nation." Hee!)
Anyone else get the feeling bakers are sick of drawing footballs?
;)
No? Just me?
And finally,
I think this giraffe is trying to wink at us:
;)
;)

So why can't I stop screaming?
Thanks to Kara P., Jeff R., everyone in Australia who reads this blog, Melissa U., & Anony M. for proving that winking at strangers is always creepy, so stop it, winkers. JUST STOP.

I'm more concerned with what's going on in the background of that 'football'...pastry? Is that hygenic?
I didn't know Keith Richards was an animagus with a giraffe form!
Aussie reader here! Have never seen this cake but love it! Phrase is taken from the Melbourne Cup horse race known as the race that stops a nation. I’m actually on that funny little island today and I do feel a bit flipped.
I think that giraffe is begging for a quick death as death with dignity is no longer possible.
"How about a nice ... football?"
"Football", said the baker, "what's a football?"
That Australia cake is correct - it is simply the view from beneath the continent, looking up.
For the world is hollow and...
I suspect my nightmares will now be filled with winking serial killing giraffes. Thanks wreckerators lol.
Maybe the baker wasn't sure whether the customer wanted an American football or what we call a soccer ball.
I can one-up that Australia cake: my local Outback Steakhouse has a wall hanging that's shaped like Australia, and they hung it upside-down (or, specifically, rotated 180 degrees).
Hey! Australia stencil that includes Tasmania! Impressive!
Maybe the plan is to be able to cut out Australia, then flip the cake right-side-up before icing it? Or somebody told the baker to make an upside-down Australia (making South at the top) and it went a bit wrong?
I'm actually kind of impressed by the tweaker giraffe cake
