Valentine's Variety
February 12, 2009 Because hearts and roses and bears are SO last week, here are some... interesting... alternatives.
For the cat lover: a neon pink, vaguely feline amorphous blob, sporting what I can only assume is some kind of euphemism:
"I'm 'purrin' for you"? Do I want to know, Gabrielle H.?For the Star Wars fan: a cake showing Admiral Ackbar's softer side:
"Don't believe him, Haley B.; it's a trap!"
For the H.P. Lovecraft fan: a Valentine's Cthulhu:
What's a Cthulhu, you ask? Eh, wellll, it's a kind of gigantic hideous tentacled thing, known to be the epitome of evil and horror. And as you can see from Melissa O.'s photo, it also comes in plush!
Speaking of plush...
I don't know what this is, Aliza E., but I think I want one. Whether I would hug it and squeeze it and call it George or actually ingest it, though, is anyone's guess.
And here's a Valentine's treat for the...uh...emotionally constipated?
That's it, Ted S., let it allll out.
Well, it's no fungus cake, but it'll do: I'm skipping breakfast.

I think the pink thing is a weeple/weepul too. I believe i saw one just like it stuck to the top of an Apple //e monitor in 1987.
now i have to go find some pom poms and googly eyes to make one myself.
hey, my cat's turds always had a pointy end on them, just like that "butterfly" body!
The pink furry thing is obviously a love bug. :P
I'm guessing the Valentine's Day Poop Cake wreckerator is probably single. And maybe just a bit bitter..
Love it, squeeze it, or call it George...
Not that you weren't cool before, but now you are officially cool. :)
WV: kifyinla.... anyone know a radio/tv station KIFY in LA? :)
Hooray for amorphous feline blobs, pink fuzzy things, and dung butterflies! And Ackbar and Cthulu, of course.
(yes I know it's long winded, be quiet)
The pink one (fifth down) looks like a chuzzle. Cute! and yummy too, I'll bet.
The pink fluffy one is ADORABLE!
The rest were obviously made by bitter, single cake decorators mocking a day made for lovey-dovey couples to make out in public places.
The Admiral Ackbar comment made my day. I think maybe that fuzzy thing is the disembodied head of a V-Day themed Cookie Monster.
My vote is for Fry girl..or guy for the pink one. Good call Kelly H.
wv: plogi...we'll just plogi along.
Hey everyone needs to be nicer to the last cake, it's a woman now...
I really like the pink fuzzy thing...it's pretty cute even if it is death by icing. See, that just proves that some CCC's are not that bad.
I confess...I had an Elmo CCC for my daughters second birthday and I loved it! so :-P
The little red furry looking guy reminds me of a Trible from the old Star Trek series. They were fun and made everyone laugh!!
I love your blog, I've just caught up all the archives. GOLD.
The pink one reminds me of something we called a "warm fuzzy" back in grade school... and it's a pretty accurate depiction.
Maybe the feline message was actually a cutesie-fied version of an encouraging message of 'I'm pulling for you'...
..eh.
P.S. Conclusion after reading the comments...there's way too many googly-eyed furballs out there. Next thing you know someone will suggest it's a My Little Pony Bushwoolie. >.> <.<
I think the Admiral Akbar cake could also be the snow beast from Hoth. Just sayin'
I'm thinking that Admiral Ackbar was added to the cake as a last minute attempt at saving it. The underlying heart shape looks a little too much like part of a woman's anatomy to me.
Hay! Turds need love too! :P
LOL
If I can make the time, I have decided I will duplicate the pink Love Bug and take it to work on Monday! (Yes, I have the right icing tips, etc.)
VW: cones. *looks down* Yep, they're still attached.
i didn't see the turd at first... i saw a severed finger, with a dark red painted fingernail. yum!
"For the H.P. Lovecraft fan: a Valentine's Cthulhu"
I would completely melt if I received that cake for Valentine's Day. Not a wreck at all :-p
pink fuzzy thing = Valentine's Cookie Monster? It is nomming some cookies.
I think the pink fluffy one is supposed to be a Valentine's Day version of the Cookie Monster cakes, made by someone who has no idea who Cookie Monster is. And that's just sad.
Yay me, I'm a dolt...I posted a comment re: "hug him and squeeze him and call him George" on the wrong post. So enjoy that moment and delete them both! :)
Ohhh I know what the fuzzy lookin' one is!!! It's a PINK PYGMY PUFF!!! Anyone read Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince?? Ginny gets a purple pygmy puff that she names Arnold (I'm reading this right now). This pink on is Arnold's sister Ariel! hee hee
Today's turd could be tomorrow's butterfly.
Okay...today's turd could be tomorrow's turd.
We can always dream.
Honestly, in the last cake I didn't see poop, it looked more like a syringe. Yes, a brown syringe, but a syringe nonetheless.
The pink thing is a "love bug!"
it looks like the fuzzy cake is supposed to be a tribble from the original star trek. - michael
It's a wittle wuppie!! I remember winning those all the time in grade school - and if you were lucky you would get the one with the scent tube in it and it would smell like lemons :D
Poop Butterfly or Blood Clot Butterfly; either way I'm not feelin' the holiday much...

Yay! I love "George"! Do not EaT "George"! He's "mine". (Another attack of the random quotation marks!)
I personally think the little pink guy looks like a Pygmy Puff from Harry Potter...Or at least how I would imagine Arnold to look like!
The pink fuzzy one reminds me of a Tribble...with eyeballs. It's no tribble at all.
AWWWWWWWWW, George is so cute! Mom, can I have one??? Pretty please? Pretty pretty pretty please? Please please please???
As for the rest . . . it should go back to where it came from: the toilet.
Going back to George, does anyone else think that's Ginny Weasley's Pygmy Puff from Harry Potter? Yeah, me either.
George is a Pygmy Puff!
see? like this one!

They're from Harry Potter!
Admiral Ackbar about the last cake; "It's a crap!"
