Columbus Day!

Many years ago, some guy somewhere decided that Columbus Day and Canadian Thanksgiving should be on the same day. Did this guy take into account that this might be terribly inconvenient for future cake blogs? Of course not. However, since we did Canadian Thanksgiving cakes last year, I figured we'd do Columbus Day cakes this year. After all, we don't want to offend our Colombian readers.

Right then.
Bring on the Columbus Day cakes!

[pursing lips]
[steepling fingers]
[sighing resignedly]

Right then.
Bring on the Canadian Thanksgiving cakes!

Okay, that's weird. This one looks a lot like poo.

Huh. So does this one.

I'm definitely seeing a trend here.

In fact, if I didn't know better...

And so, in conclusion: all turkey cakes look like poo.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.

 Also, in the words of the famous Canadian actor, Jeff Goldblum*:

"Heeeelp meeeee!" [bzzzt bzzzt]

Caught In The Act

For years, bakers have tried to deny it.

"My balloons look like what? Really?! Well, I never. How could you even suggest such a thing? I'm aghast! I'm stunned! I'm [checking thesaurus] chagrined! Why, I would never...

...

"Um...

"Yeah, okay. You got me. Those are totally sperm.

"But how do you like my rose buds?"

Thanks to Rebecca B., who only mentioned that they misspelled "We'll." She's a forgiving sort, that one.
