The weird part is the hypnotic synchronized purring noises.
Remember, my friends: recognizing the stages is the first step to healing.
Shock or Disbelief:
"No, seriously. Where's the hidden camera?"
Denial:
"That CAN'T be my cake. I ordered a turtle."
Anger:
"This is what you call cake decorating?!"
"And I'm not paying for that one, either."
Bargaining:
"Twenty four bucks, huh?
"I'll give you five."
Guilt:
"If ONLY I'd just learned to bake, my daughter wouldn't be in therapy for coulrophobia!"
Depression:
"I just... I just wanted a nice cake for the party..."
Acceptance and Hope:
"It's fine. I've just got a dirty mind. Maybe no one else will notice."
Huge thanks to Jane R., Jodi T., Maria E., Edmund, Cheryl, Allegra R., Marissa C., and Alexis V. I couldn't have gotten through this without you guys!

Archie, 5/22/25
I dunno, Jughead, that looks more like blood to me. Presumably the LORD will be passing through to smite all those who harbor Archie in their house, and Mr. Lodge is making it clear that He should pass over the Lodge mansion, as it is Archie-free. Bad luck for Archie’s parents, I guess.
Dick Tracy, 5/22/25
“Dick Tracy” is kind of a funny name, but I think that if the comic strip didn’t exist and you were introduced to someone by that name, it wouldn’t cause you to pause and repeat it back with an “um” before it, like you think it’s weird. Especially if your name is “Icarus Lovejoy”! C’mon, man! Icarus Lovejoy!
B.C., 5/22/25
I can’t believe Johnny Hart’s heirs have allowed mention of the metric system in his beloved comic strip. I don’t care if you need to use “meter” to make the Fast and Furious wordplay work! We all know the metric system is the thin edge of the wedge of tyrannical one-world government and must be stopped at all costs.

Worried I didn't make Poe's forehead big enough.
When your mom's a proud Texan celebrating her 64th birthday, you might think ordering a cake that says, "Happy Birthday, Cowgirl!" is a good idea.
And maybe it is, IF your baker writes it down right:
Oops.
Thanks to Cat D. for reminding us that you can never put a price on a mother's love. Especially hers.

I realize that after today's cake this product link is going to look... questionable.
All I can say is, NOT LIKE THAT. :p
Hold Your Horses
The cover illustration isn't helping, is it.
