(My roommate disagreed.)

Fuck you! I made a cake anyway :)

Now it’s my turn: Happy birthday, Kim! (emoticon emoticon emoticon)

    at least even with the small (yet kind of weird looking) yellowish surface space that kim had to work with, she still didn’t resort to chatspeak! Go Kim!

      It sort of looks like she just slapped a slice of american cheese on top and then wrote on it in ketchup. You’re right Mishee. She did an excellent job with the spacing and legibility.

    This cake makes me uncomfortable. Maybe its the viral looking blob of peanut butter (?) in the middle or maybe its just the ultra glossy “icing”. Either way, the real birthday present would be not having to eat it.

    At the risk of having to wear the unitard, I have to ask: did Kerry eat the cake and was it fucking delicious?

    • #38.1   claw71

      Forget the unitard, you’re getting a firm thwap on the forehead from the python. Not for the beating the dead “fucking delicious” horse so much as demonstrating a total inability to draw reasonable conclusions.

      Look at that cake. LOOK AT IT!!! Does it look fucking delicious? DOES IT? No. It looks disgusting. The cake is totally uneven, which leads me to believe that it’s going to be somewhat dry in places and down right brick-like in others. It’s lumpy, so I imagine there are clumps of dry flour throughout the cake. Little pockets of choke-inducing powder that taste like anthrax and feel like Comet cleanser as they scour the soft tissue of the throat and mouth. The layer of gooey chocolate icing was gobbed on when the cake was still too warm to be decorated and the hideous block of baked garbage wasn’t even removed from the baking pan. That’s just sloppy and inconsiderate. I’m surprised Kerry had the good humor to feature this cake here rather than bludgeon Kim with this dense Duncan Hines debacle. Fucking delicious, indeed.

      I don’t know what was used in the middle of the cake to replicate the appearance of a passive aggressive note but it looks like ketchup over basic yellow mustard. I’m sure that’s not the case but the cake looks totally unappetizing. Even if, by some culinary miracle, this cake did taste good, how could anybody who is not Stevie Wonder get past the awful presentation?

      Unitard? The unitard is too good for the likes of you. Simply stand in the corner naked and assume the position. Your punishment will come soon enough.

      soviet russia – quite funny, but actually not so much
      casey/ H.R./Thx – not so cool anymore
      f… d… – evil, evil, evil

    Oh that’s awesome. I’m a big believer in celebrating birthdays in some way or another. S0 that’s your’s even if you didn’t want a big cake. Everyone knows now….someone loves you enough to make that awesome cake. Enjoy it. Enjoy it lots.

    Not to criticize or anything (because the concept is awesome), but I would have made the post-it from fondant and written on it directly with food coloring. It would have looked more like an actual post-it and less like a blob of mustard and ketchup.

    Can you tell I’m a little anal?

      But wouldn’t saying it looks like a blob of mustard and ketchup indeed be a criticism? Like when people say “No offense, but” when they know damn well what they’re saying is offensive? Or like when people ask questions that they already know the answers to? ;)

      I’m relaxing already at the prospect of the python.

      You don’t have to relax…I’ve got poppers…because we all know that you can’t spell anal without amyl nitrate.

      It’s unfair for you to make these sorts of promises if you’re not really going to follow through…

    The roommate just wanted some cake….they didn’t care if it was your birthday or not.

    I’d appreciate the effort – you have a flatmate that actually cares that you’re a year older, has a sense of humour and likes to make a statement – lucky you.

    I think the red stuff is actually some sickly strawberry icecream topping, rather than tomato sauce.

    This is really special.
    How often have you been propositioned via cake-gram?!

    Hah! This inspires me to write the F-word onto every cake I’ll ever make in the future (I’m thinking this should be especially interesting for baby showers and such).
