cake

Sometimes you really want fries, but you also really want something sweet, but you don't want a Wendy's frosty. WHAT TO DO?

I feel like I'm jinxing the weather here with all my talk of "Spring is coming! Spring is coming!" but the rain stays and the cold stays and I'm beginning to think that I am bad luck. I just want to keep thinking warm thoughts.

When I was a kid, the closest I ever got to decorating my own cake was a cookie and a little tube of gel icing. I had plenty of fun with just that. Imagine how awesome it would have been if we had edible paper back then? I can't say I'm not a little jealous of kids these days.

I always thought that large Lego cakes looked so fussy with all the cupcake bumps that you have to frost separately and all that. This is an ingenious solution with round candies! Let's just hope Jackson is old enough to not smash all the bits together to try and build something.

I'm gonna have frosting all over me in about two minutes if someone doesn't stop me from tackling and snuggling this cake. All together now... D'AWWWWWWWWWWW!

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.

Man, if I've got a bowl of noodles, you could plunk me on a cloud surrounded by stars with faces and even balance a little yellow baby thing on my head and I probably wouldn't notice. I love noodles that much. Just as long as you keep them coming.

Sure Valentine's Day isn't for a few more months. That doesn't mean you can't put a little love into your food all year round.

You really can't go wrong with a classic comic book POW or SMASH or BOOM for a little boy's birthday cake. Toss in a maniacal Joker spreading mayhem and you've hit the optimal level of chaos and fun to get the party going.

Those tiny macarons studding this cake are like the prettiest, most girly, edible punk spikes. I'd wear a jacket like that.

It's almost getting to be spookytime season, friends! Are you making plans already for decor and costumes?

Next time I move homes I want a cake in the shape of my new house. There must be something symbolic about eating a replica of your home. What could it mean?

Our fair submitter said she made these sweet treats for her daughter's "Night Owl" party. Amazing! I remember being in 6th grade and having slumber parties where we stayed up all night jacked up on sugar playing truth or dare and talking about boys until the sun came up. What happened to those days? I need to have a slumber party. Maybe this awesome mom will make me an owl cake too!

I don't know much about Hamtaro. I know he's a hamster and a character in an anime and now captured in cake form. I'd happily nibble on this guy while celebrating... what? What would Hamtaro be the perfect symbol of celebration for? Come on, anime nerds, I know you're out there and I need your help!

These cakes are decorated so immaculately, I'd like to wear one like a tiny hat!

It's almost time for one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick's Day! I'm not concerned with my Irish heritage or collecting kisses or wearing green (though I do look very nice in green). No, I'm excited about my good friend Matt's corned beef. he cures a crapload of brisket and cooks it all day, then pairs it with his amazing home made sauerkraut and mashed potatoes and soda bread and Irish cheddar and dark beer and ohhhhhhh... I better get to the gym, I'm fixing to pack on a few pounds.
