A Toad-ally Awesome Leap Day Celebration

Tomorrow is Leap Day, minions, so we've decided to take the completely original route of celebrating with frog cakes.

It's a frog. Honest.

The correlation between Leap Day and frogs is obvious, of course:
both are things you tend to forget unless you were born on one.

(To be fair, that'd probably also be pretty memorable for the frogs.)

Plus, you know, frogs jump and stuff.

...when they're not getting run over.

Just like Leap Day runs over with, um, happiness?

#NailedIt

Also like Leap Day, frogs rarely show up on calendars.

Unless you count the annual Ripped Ribbets of Reno page-a-day.
("These amorous amphibians are ready to show you their bachelor pads!")

Let's see, what else?

Ah, well, Leap Day only happens every four years, just like frogs take turns visiting me in the shower every four years.

Let's just say they're not the only ones who can hop around and scream bloody murder.

Yep, both Leap Day and frogs can catch us by surprise:

O.o

...and are hard to hold onto:

...but should always be celebrated with style:

...until someone gets peed on.

Then the party's over.

So happy birthday, Leap Day babies, and happy Leap Day to the rest of you!

Thanks to Andrea L., Katie M., Christina W., Jenny P., Lynette, Melissa M., Jen C., and Diane C. for the best ways to have a frog in your throat.

P.S. Ever want to wear something a little different to bed to surprise your SO?

Frog Sleep Mask

Because this $7 froggy eye mask has eyes you can open or close, and I am DYING thinking about rolling over in bed and scaring the froggy poop out of John with them staring at him wide-eyed. Omigosh. Dying.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

"You Wanted What Now?"

The baker asked Beth how she wanted the writing to look: cursive, all-caps, etc.

"Oh, just regular."

The constipated ones don't get cake.

 Karin asked that her friend's cake be served with Korbel Brut, a type of champagne:

"A TOAST... TO CAKE WRECKS."

(Anyone else wondering what the baker drew under those chocolates on the edge?)

Lee asked for a cake with Halloween decorations:

I'm so glad Lee explained; I stared at this forever wondering why they abbreviated "December."

 Then the Mevers family asked the baker to write Big Daddy in brown.

And it's big, big, Daddy Brown. 

Biggest Dad in the whole dang town!

Bigger than ol' King Kong

Sweeter than a Hostess' Ding Dong

Ahem.

And finally, Thomas' bakery didn't understand what "Semper Fi" was or how to spell it, so he told them to look up "Military Marines."

Wow, Thomas, there are just... so many... ways that could go wrong.

And happily the bakery did almost all of them.

PERFECT.

Thanks to Beth D. Karen B., Lee J., the Mevers, & Thomas V. for that Lookap.
