purple

Purple is a tricky color for frosting. It can look so artificial and disgusting, but these cupcakes look perfect. This purple looks natural and delicious and not at all like poison.

Thank you, Quirmelle for watching my dust bunnies while I was out of town. What will you take in payment?

I get a feeling that in the wild, while we aren't looking and Morgan Freeman isn't talking, penguins perform all sorts of impressive acrobatic feats. The pyramid is, of course, their specialty.

It's true, we really do fall in love with people who are a lot like us. These two were clearly made for each other.

I suppose if they fail to stack neatly we can just eat the extras and chalk the failure up to experience.

I know it doesn't take a whole lot more work to make an ombre cake, but it sure is super impressive!

I'd be impressed if someone could develop seeds that grow sugar flowers from chocolate. Scientists, get on that!

If Hello Kitty were really the Easter Bunny, I'd happily eat all the candy she'd like to leave me.

Do you like crunchy cake? Because think about it, if you put enough sprinkles on something it adds a whole lot of crunch texture. I love the creaminess of the frosting, I wonder how the crunch adds to or detracts from the experience?

I wish ice cream didn't melt so fast because this is the kind of cone I'd like to spend some quality time with.

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!

I imagine these cookies are delicate, buttery, floral and not too sweet. Only for special occasions, of course.

I'd love to wrap my tentacles around this little guy.

Thistle is wary of newcomers. Make her feel at home and you'll have a beaver pal for life.

I love the motif of kind of spiky flowers like this on baked goods. It contrasts nicely with the soft roundness of the cake itself, don't you think? I don't know much about flowers but I bet you guys do; are there real life spiky flowers like that out in the wild?
