green

Now, I'm not one to argue with the zombie loving masses but are we sure this cupcake is indeed a zombie or is it just sick from eating too much sugar?

It's nice to see cupcakes without any frosting on them. The surface of the cake is perfect for the crumbly soil effect around the sprouts. Dare I say it, they almost look healthy with just a little fondant sprout and lack of buttercream.

If I had made these sweet little bee pops I would have included a healthy pinch of spicy pepper for a little sting. Don't want to deny the bees their birthright!

Even gloopy little green monsters need love. Can you really deny those sweet puppy dog eyes?

From the depths of the underworld comes pretty much the cutest evil lord ever. Sure you'll slowly sink into the dark morass of madness, but isn't it worth it to get your hands on cookies this adorable?

Being green and being cute go hand in hand! This tote is so cheerful about saving the planet one bagful of recycling at a time. Fill it with cans and help out in your community!

Now that I'm getting older and slowing down a little (LIES!) and not raging six nights a week like I once did, I can imagine eating bright green donuts shaped like sweet little bears without feeling queasy in the least. There was a time when even the hint of breakfast would send me wretching. I'm happy to be able to appreciate the cuteness and whimsy of green icing.

Somehow the bigger it gets, the cuter it gets!

Planning a picnic on the back nine? Don't let any other golfers confuse your cake with a real green!

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.

Back to the sea, babies! You've got a long journey ahead of you but you can make it! I'm like a hungry seagull over here waiting to swoop in and pick up a couple of stragglers. Circle of life, folks!

Green and purple are a good color match. Of course if you want to get into the full tertiary you could add some orange to round things out but I think this is looking pretty nice. Do you care? No? Either do I. Just eat it!

This is the most delicious field of lilies I've ever seen. One part of me wants to lay down and roll around in it. But then there's the smart part of me who knows that being covered in sugar is not the best feeling in the world.

There's no shame in being a bookworm. Look how proud this little dude is!

I've never thought of decorating a peanut butter cup with white chocolate dyed with food coloring. These were made for Earth Day, but think of all the other possibilities. You could put bunnies or trees or monkeys on there and it would be just darling.
