cake

I hope those bees have been humanely de-stingered for the safety of your dinner guests.

Remember when mom used to make a sheet cake and transform it magically into Snoopy or Garfield or a bat or a witch or a goldfish? Throw out your fancy cake molds and get creative!

Leftover cake is so lazy, sitting around on the plate for days and days with no responsibilities. Come on loser, make me a snack!

That is one giant wooden block your sushi is sitting on. Is it special Japanese cherry wood? What's that? It's a cake? Oh very well then, you may proceed with your revelry as planned.

Whoever this amazing couple is, I wish I had been invited to their wedding just to see this cake. You also can't deny that a pair who loves Jules Verne this much must be pretty incredible.

Okay so YOU can't eat this adorable little cake, but your cat can! Just make sure and blow out that candle before any whiskers get singed!

It's gotta be someone's birthday somewhere, right? Let's eat cake in celebration!

It's true, what the cake says. But you have to admit there are also days when all you need is coffee or all you need is clean sheets or all you need is a cold dog nose. I'm just saying, don't limit yourself.

This itty bitty is the perfect girly addition to your collection. You do collect miniature foods don't you? Isn't it about time you start?

What an awesome timeline of romance! The birdies meet in the Fall at the bottom there, fall in love during the Winter months, and have a sweet little family by Spring! Huzzah for life and love and sugar!

You better hurry up, this cake has a hell of a lot of legs and might get away from you.

Shhhhhh... Totoro is sleeping and though he is sweet and adorable when awake, he is even cuter when taking a trip to slumberland. D'awwww. So precious.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with those fancy chocolates that look like seashells. They are used to spectacular effect here. At first I thought those were real shells! I'm filing this one away for ideas later in the year for sure.

Recently I decided that I'm going to model myself after one of those crazy, artsy, metropolitan wackos who only wears one color every day forever. I've chosen yellow and I figure that in two or three years I can weed out all the clothes that aren't yellow, black, white, grey or bluejeans (because really, who are we kidding here? Jeans are important.) and be a bonafide eccentric.

Everything yellow I see speaks to me. This cake gives me lovely flutters!

Have you started stuffing your face with corned beef and cabbage yet? Are you 4 Guinnesses deep? Have you been pinched or kissed? Go crazy, dye the river green, gorge on Irish cheddar and remember to drink lots of water and take some ibuprofen before bed.
