The American Way, Replayed
Technically Veterans Day was yesterday here in the U.S., but since a lot of us get today off to celebrate, CELEBRATE WE SHALL.
Veterans Day is all about honoring those who have and are serving in our country's military. There are lots of great ways to do this:
This is not one of them.
Now, I happen to know that a fair number of military personnel read this blog - a fact I find both humbling and just a teensy bit alarming, since I'm not sure those who share my twisted sense of humor should have access to heavy artillery. (Holy Hand Grenade, anyone?)
On the other hand, I do so enjoy all the e-mails with the giant "DECLASSIFIED" stamps on them. Makes me feel all James Bond-ish, only in an American, hermit-girl-blogger kind of way.
So in your honor, my dear veterans, here are some patriotic cake designs that will surely bring a tear to your eyes.

Of course today is about you, the troops:
And as "Owl Troops" you deserve "Supott."
Stirring.
No wait, I take that back: this Wreck leaves me shaken, not stirred. [ba dum bump!]
Some bakeries pipe their greetings on clear plastic sheets, which they then lay on top of the finished cakes. It's cheating, sure, but this way bakers can trace their messages or start over if they make a mistake.
Or just slap the plastic on anyway and call it a "Vetrans" day.
...of Amercia?
Hang on, that doesn't sound right. Can we try that one again?
Muuuch better.
(But who stole the corner piece?!)
