Friday Favs 4/7/17

We've got a triple-hitter today, minions: not only is it No Housework Day (woo!), it's also National Beer Day (hoo!) AND International Beaver Day!!

[crickets]

No?

OK, but that still means we can get sloshed on thrones of dirty laundry, right? Beavers optional*.

(*Beavers Optional is the name of my Damn Yankees cover band.)

Also, cider beers count, right? Because I don't really like the taste of beer.

Oops, I'm supposed to be showing you cakes, huh?

It's a turtle.

Obviously.

While I was looking up what crazy holidays we could celebrate today, I also discovered it's Bat Appreciation Week:

Batman: "He'll never see me."

AND it's International Twit Award Month.

Now, I know it's still early in the month, but I'm callin' it:

This baker wins.

And finally, allow me to send you off to the weekend with my own holiday, which I've decided to call the Day Of Being Thankful This Sign On The Card Swiper Is Spaced Properly:

Give it a minute.

You know, to see the funny thing, not to... um... hoo boy... uh, LOOK! Over there! [points] [runs off]

Thanks to Dianne W., Laura H., Paula S., Dustin O., & Stepanie H. for proving the penis mightier.

Some of my favorite new submissions this week:

And they say cake decorating is dead:

It's not dead.

It's more in the process of being slowly bludgeoned to death.

Ergo the massive head injury and general fuglitude happening here.

Now let's take a rare glimpse at the Cake Wrecks Facebook Wall - because, oh yes, we're one of those ancient dinosaur sites that still has a Facebook page:

You're absolutely in the right here, Kim... but I like the way your friend thinks.

And here's one from Audrey, who used her cake to convey both an apology AND an explanation:

(Is that "poor" or "poop"? Because either works for me.)

I like it. Sweet and succinct. Maybe we should all give this technique a try.

"Sorry about the house. NETFLIX."

"Forgive the smell. TACO TUESDAY."

Or, for a one-size-fits-all approach:

"My apologies. EXPLOSIONS AND/OR ALIENS."

Anyone else been on Giraffe Watch this month?

If not, don't bother googling. It's just some giraffe faking a pregnancy for attention.

(Also that cake is fine; I just find it funny that even bakers are getting sucked in.)

Alexandria wanted a really basic beach scene for her son's birthday cake, so she ordered this design from the book and asked the bakery to leave off the characters and flowers:

To recap: she just wanted the water and sand. That's it. (She planned to add some toy sharks later at home.)

Here's what her bakery made:

BEACH PLEASE.

Thanks to Ken K., Katie R., Kim, Audrey O., Stephanie M., & Alexandria C. for teaching us the ocean is more of a stream, and the beach really is #1.
