All I have to say is that poor Bambi would be so confused.
Mel! You are my hero!
I remember Haiku Joy!!! I offered a bowl of badly drawn stick people, remember?
Anxiously awaiting your report!
mel, I have no words... no, really... you used them all ;-)
Yeaah, the NBC bundt cake is missing a flower in the center, because someone was being cheap I guess. lol
I kept singing "Where have all the flowers gone?" to "Where have all the cowboys gone?"
@mindy1 lady, I hope things get better for you soon. ((hugs))
@mel wow. just: wow.
@BADKarma -- might be a good idea....
@samatqwitch -- Thanks. I hope you had as much fun with yours as I did with this.
@Laxmom -- lol.....who knew the power of a Bundt cake....?
@zoomom (aww shucks....) and SuBee -- thank you and Well, Well, Well....well done, ladies!
@brenda -- thanks; glad you enjoyed it.
@Jodee in WA -- sorry...I think a new shipment is coming in tomorrow...I'll try to be more frugal....
@Barbara Anne -- thanks. just: thanks.... :-)
and to all those wondering about the apparent mushroom on the cake....it's there to show that the recipient is a real fun guy......
Wow. Just put a picture of a flower on the cake if you can't figure out what they are lol. Then again that probably would make things worse. Just a flower is just plain lazy. But then again who really buys those huge cookie things?
Not for nothin', but that ad with the woman with a drum for a head is 100 times more disturbing than any cake ever shown on this site. Seriously, WTF?

@Haiku Joy, I so wish I had a teacher such as you in my life. It would have made my English classes much more interesting! Can't wait for your report!
@mel, through The Power of Love, Everything Will Be Alright.
Now, I feel the need to plant a flower. Just a flower.
@lisadh -- :-) we can only hope....
@samatwitch -- opps...I misspelled your name...sorry....I was minding my p's...but not my q's.....
That mushroom is beautifully rendered.
On the NBC, I thought that white stuff looked like the insulation that foams up to fill empty spaces. No way I could eat that cake.
I would like to see someone order a cake with the request for "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" and see what they get. Think of the possibilities.
@mel No problem, I recognised it anyway, although I did think maybe you thought I should be playing Quidditch for Gryffindor! ;)
Though Peter, Paul, and Mary's version of "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" is the definitive version for me, since I grew up with their 10th anniversary album, it was originally written by Pete Seeger.
I don't imagine that he'd be any more impressed by these cakes than PP&M would be.
Is that a wood ear mushroom on that second cake?
"Adam with blue flowers" nearly made me snarf my coffee. Thanks. :)
@M.Dale - <grin> You win the overly-educated-total-geek award! :-) (I love The Glass Menagerie!)
@mel - as others have said...there are no words...left! FTW! :-)
What's with the dead frog on #7? O_o
Maybe they told their friends about their upcoming use in these cakes and they freaked out.
