And THAT'S How Baby Zebras Are Made

It's time for another one of our chats, bakers. You know, the ones where I give well-reasoned arguments for why you shouldn't wreck things, and you completely ignore me?

You're like my cats, only armed with piping bags instead of hairballs.

No, Professor Fluffypants, no!

Still, as long as I keep lecturing Suki and Eva on proper puke placement ("The tile! AIM FOR THE TILE!") I may as well keep tilting at this particular windmill.

SO... zebra stripes.

(By Sherry O)

These are zebra stripes, bakers.

While these:

...are sperm.

I point this out because a lot of you seem to confuse the two:

...and nobody wants sperm on their birthday cake, you guys.

NOBODY.

Nope.

No, thank you.

Nuh-uh.

What the...?

OH COME ON.
(Who let Professor Fluffypants in here?)

Bottom line, bakers: next time someone asks for zebra stripes, DON'T USE BUTTERCREAM.

Use an airbrush instead!

See?
MUUUUCH better.

Thanks to Laurie P., Barb, Lauren M., Elizabeth, Amber G., Holly C., D'andra B., Courtney G., & Jana W. for showing us what's black and white and wrecked all over.

Camouflaged E.T. Balls

Dawn ordered this Fall tree design for her wedding cake:

But in the end, she couldn't see the forest OR the trees:

I, for example, only see E.T. hands.

The cake Adriana wanted was already kinda funky:

...but give that photo to a wreckerator, and things get SO MUCH FUNKIER:

Balls.

And finally, Lindsay wanted this camouflage sheet cake:

Which leads us to a quandary:

Is it possible to camouflage camo?

Because I don't see it.

Thanks to Dawn B., Adriana S., & Lindsay M. for seeing what I did there.

P.S. I know E.T. freaks most people out, but I have this plush from Universal on my desk and I love him:

(E.T. Doll With Blue Hoodie)

This is the same one sold in the theme parks, and it's big and soft and extremely huggable. He even stands on his own... mostly. (Mine leans back a bit, heh.) Anyhoo, A++, highly recommend.
