Welcoming the New Large Intestine

Hello All!

Since my post with the clown cake was well received, and because I am so incredibly stressed out preparing for my seminary final exam tomorrow to write anything meaningful, I though I'd include another post involving humorous cake.

The setting, the birth of my brother's first child
The subject, a welcome home cake.

Before my brother Scott had kids, he and his wife moved out of their apartment and into their idyllic house in the suburbs.  Across the street was a young boy (7-9ish, if I recall, which I actually don't,) who for some reason didn't have a dad around to do stuff with. To cut to the chase, this boy sort of adopted my brother.  The boy would seemingly come over every day; Scott even ended up as this boy's little league coach.

Fast forward in time; my brother and sister-in-law have their first child which they name Conor.  Note the slightly unusual spelling. 

Well the very-appreciative mom of the boy brings over a welcome home cake for the child.

This is a photo of the cake:


So my best guess is that they thought my brother named his son Colin, but had an unusual spelling.

My favorite part is how the C in colon looks like a little colon.  That is a special touch from our friends at the Giant Eagle bakery for sure. 

(My second favorite part is how my brother could not stop riotously laughing and I certainly wonder if the mom laughed too or just sort of smiled and felt really awkward.)

Hello All,
I had promised that I would make use of the fact they give picture ability to non-paying xangstas, so here it comes.

The setting, my son's first birthday party.
The subject, my son's first birthday cake.

So here is the cake my wife bought.  (This is definately one of the reasons I love her, btw.)


Be sure to take a closer look:

The first question I have is, who thought it would be a good idea to make a cake for children featuring a dead clown?

Take another look:

A second question I have is, is this dead clown supposed to be a man or a woman?


A third question I have is, who ever thought that children enjoy clowns.  They don't.

So not a lot of answers, but certaintly some worthy things to ponder.
