The Cake Wrecks Guide To Facebook Unfriending

Warning: Adult subject matter. Kinda. Not really.

Sometimes we just have to sit down, reflect, and finally ask ourselves, "Who the heck is this guy, and why am I Facebook friends with him?"

Now, I can't tell you EXACTLY who to unfriend, because I don't know the name of the person who decided stretch leggings are not "business appropriate attire." Still, I can offer you a few general guidelines.

The Over-Sharer

We also don't need to see that weird growth thing on your elbow, Tom.

The Drunk Serial Poster

Nothing says "Mistakes were made last night" quite like a 4AM photo dump of blurry faces, fire hydrants, and the bait-and-tackle aisle at Wal-Mart.

The Vague-Booker

It's mysterious and dramatic and they can't tell you ANYTHING until you give them lots and lots of attention.

The Racist

Sadly I have even more accurate cakes for this, but I'm not posting them.
You're welcome.

That Person Who Thinks Every Onion Headline is Real

[Photo deleted because we finally checked Snopes, and it was fake.]

The Humble Brag

(Via Humblebrag, because I actually tried, but still couldn't make this stuff up.)

The Always-Irrationally-Angry

Often related to All-Caps-McRanty and Extreme-Politics-R-Us

The Creepy Stalker

Granted, we all do a little innocent FB stalking from time to time, but there are sometimes-subtle clues that it may have gone too far.

This is one of them.

And to end on a positive note, definitely keep the friends who post Cake Wrecks.

That's the sign of excellent moral character, right there.

Sunday Sweets Gets A Case Of The Butterflies

Today I'm giving a whole new meaning to butterflies in your tummy, in the best possible way:

(By Caking It Up)

It's like the prettiest dream you've ever had, freeze-framed and dipped in sugar.

(By Magical Edible Art)

Love those pillowy wings.

(By Sweetlake Cakes)

...and this letter topper!

I'm probably biased since they're my favorite color, but Monarchs have got to be the prettiest butterflies we have here in Florida. They also make the prettiest wedding cakes:

(By Sweet Cheeks Baking Company)

Check out that great texture with the layered silhouettes; really makes the monarchs pop.

Random True Fact: If you ask John what his favorite creature is, he will say it's the butterfly. Years ago we heard a talk on all the impossible things a caterpillar goes through to become a butterfly, and John was so fascinated that he went off and read and watched and researched and I guess just fell in love with these fluttery wisps of lunacy.

(By Sweet 'N Sassy Cakes)

"Fluttery wisps of lunacy" totally fits this swoopy rainbow loveliness.
And would make a sweet band name.

I pride myself on being able to tell what's cake and what's not, but this next one? TOTALLY STUMPED ME:

(By Caprice Cake)

The bottom edge really, REALLY looks like mosaic tile. And the rest is porcelain smooth! Frankly, I'm still not entirely sure this is cake. Could I get a slice, just to be sure? ;)

Speaking of cake that looks like non-cake things, look how pretty this stained glass number is:

(By Ik Hou Van Taart)

And this one looks like the most delicate needlework embroidery:

(By Kristina Rado)

Though I think most brides still prefer the classic butterfly trail:

(By Magic Mouthfuls)

And hey, sometimes, you've just got to go for ALL the colors: 

(By Ph. D.-serts)

[Note: The photo we had here previously was a photoshopped version stolen by an unscrupulous Etsy seller. We've since replaced it with the original photo and credited the correct baker. Sorry, guys!]

 

But since I've already admitted my love for Monarchs, you know this had to be my favorite today:

(By Nadya's Cakes and Bakes)

Perfection.

Plus it reminds me of this Effie Trinket I just photographed last weekend at MegaCon:

Gee, I wonder why I like her dress so much? ;)

(That's from my other blog Epbot, btw. If you like awesome costumes - or want to see the one John and I made that won Best In Show (!!) - then be sure to click over for my full MegaCon report!)

Happy Sunday, everyone!
