Tonight, while you're out ringing in the new year, please be considerate of your fellow cake lovers.Please, don't drink and decorate.Don't let this happen to someone you love:(Lest you incur a pox on your crudely drawn wine glasses!)Thanks to Jan F., who plans to confiscate everyone's...

There are no words....to explain these words:My, my. "Daddy" looks rather flushed, doesn't he?Frankly, I'm not sure which would be more disturbing: a father giving this cake to his daughter, or someone referring to any kind of toilet activity as "daddy love." [gagging] Yeah. Ok,...

Americans, by and large, are fat. I'm an American, and I'm fat. Together with 64% of my fellow citizens, we're taking over the country, one chocolate-covered bacon maple donut bar at a time. Rather than get all down and out about it, though, I like the bakeries' approach: simply...

We all know that nearly all cake decorators misspell "congratulations" every day.(Um, John? I don't think...)This is obviously because they're either drunk or completely incompetent.(Okay now, we're totally gonna get in trouble for that...)Now you might be saying, "I thought all...

My my my. This was certainly a labor of love, wouldn't you say?Or...When this baby sits around the cake stand, she really sits around the cake stand!Or...Forgive me if this seems disjointed (since I'm just shooting from the hip here), but methinks the baby shower cake has now officially...

Today's Sweet comes from five cake decorators who made an extreme Christmas Tree cake for the Festival of Trees in Utah to benefit Primary Children's Medical Center. Since the cake was itself made to benefit a charity, I thought it would be a fitting way to wrap up our Charity Countdown.As...

Preeeeesenting a sweet moment between Mr. & Mrs. Claus!Oh, ick! What is going ON here? Hey, Drummer Boy! Could you play them off, please?Uh. You're not the Drummer Boy."Nope. Sorry. But look! I'm on SALE! And if you like, I can play a little ditty on this here carrot-kazoo of...

Marry who, you ask?Why, marry Christmas, of course!And going by this next cake, I'm guessing "Christmas" is a small plush snowman:Although that giant smear of icing does make you wonder what it *used* to say.Here they got "Merry" right, but....(Correction: I meant to say "however."...

If you're like me, you may have seen cakes in your local bwreckery (<- New word! Booya!) that look a lot like logs. Yule logs, to be exact. And if you're like me, you may ask yourself, "Why do I always get the cart with the wonky wheel?" Which is a mystery. But you might also...

You Seinfeld fans probably remember the made-up holiday "for the rest of us": Festivus. For everyone else: hey, did you know there's a made-up holiday today called Festivus? 'Cuz there is. And folks celebrate it, too.So, apparently bakers figured, hey, if you can't beat 'em......misspell...

In this economy, bakeries need to be efficient with their holiday designs. Which I guess is why they came up with...The Christmas Tree/Dreidel!See, turned this way, it's an ugly, post-modern Christmas tree.But turn it THIS way...and it's an ugly, post-modern dreidel!PLUS, you could...

Because Cupcake Cakes (patooie!) weren't bad enough, they had to go and invent...the Cinnamon Bun Cake.Although I think you could have spotted the "bun" part without my help. [smirk] Eh?Hey, Monica S., I hear there's a full moon tonight.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The...
