Easter Cakes

ideas_for_an_easter_cake

Easter is among a handful of holidays that features cakes and other pastries. My family usually has a bunny cake to celebrate Easter with since there a lot of kids and easy to make. Yet, you also have other motifs such as eggs, chicks, baskets, and flowers. Some may take a more religious motif such as crosses and an empty tomb. Yes, Easter is the time for such cute and colorful confections associated with spring and the resurrection. Now I can go on and on about the lovely professionally made cakes out there. But I know that none of you would be interested since those cakes won’t be worth making fun of. Instead, I’ll compile a post pertaining to some of the great caketastrophes mostly because many of them are unintentionally funny as well as fun to laugh at. Now these cakes are professionally made which you’d find in a store. So for your pleasure, here are some of the great Easter cake blunders that would make Peter Rabbit puke.

1. We begin with the celebration of new life as a chick emerges from its shell.

Okay, I know real chicks aren't cute and fluffy when just out of the egg. Yet, this one seems to induce nightmares.

2. Of course, you can’t do anything wrong with a basket cake.

Now that's a real basket case if you ask me. More like a muppet with roses instead of eyes. Of course, he can't really smell the roses for he's wearing rose colored glasses.

Now that’s a real basket case if you ask me. More like a muppet with roses instead of eyes. Of course, he can’t really smell the roses for he’s wearing rose colored glasses. Also, how long did this decorator realize that this cake was upside down?

3. When it comes to whether the chicken or the egg came first, this baker has the answer.

So it was the chicken sperm that came first. Definitely not age appropriate material for an Easter cake, especially in a family setting.

4. For those more religiously inclined, this Easter cross is for you.

You call that a cross? Seriously, how hard is it to mess up on a cross cake. I mean that's just ungodly hideous for God's sake.

5. For those who love Easter and Angry Birds, this is the cake for you.

Of course, green pigs might want to stay away from this one. Nevertheless, she's bringing sexy quack.

6. Now we get to bunny cakes, hope nothing can go wrong with that.

Spiked whiskers? That's just freaky. Seriously, couldn't they use a different kind of icing for that?

7. Happy Easter from the chick with the chipmunk cheeks.

And from what I can tell, he seems quite amazed by all the food in his midst. Oh, I forgot, he is food.

8. Once upon a time, a group of bunny rabbits found a field filled with the most enormous carrots.

Unfortunately, the field was located near the Waltz Mill Westinghouse nuclear power plant which experienced a major meltdown during the 1970s. Let's just say it really messed up a lot of rabbit genetics and leave it at that.

9. Happy Easter from Angry Big Bird.

Sorry, kids, but you've come at a really bad time to ask Big Bird on how to get to Sesame Street. Seriously, you don't want to see him when he's angry.

10. Nothing says Easter like a field of giant carrots rising up and eating all the bunnies.

Seriously, since when did anyone think of cupcakes depicting bunny eating carrots would be great for Easter? I mean was this decorator on drugs?

11. Happy Easter from the Snidely Whiplash bunny with twist ties on its neck.

I'd really hate to see what this bunny is up to. Seems like it wants to tie somebody on the railroad tracks while in sight of an oncoming train.

12. Rejoice and be glad! For He has risen! Or not.

Since when is an RIP tombstone an appropriate motif for an Easter cake. I mean those who know about Jesus know his tomb resembled a small cave, not something you'd see in a cemetery.

13. This little chick must watch out or else be Pac-Man’s supper.

Okay, I know this is supposed to be a cake depicting a chick hatching from an egg. Yet, this more or less looks like a decorated Pac Man gone rogue for some reason.

14. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a lamb cake this Easter Season.

Yet, this one somehow manages to get impaled with an American flag. How adorable! Not. I'd hate to see the national implications there.

Yet, this one somehow manages to get impaled with an American flag. How adorable! Not. I’d hate to see the national implications there.

15. Of course, while lambs are seen as tranquil and innocent animals, this isn’t always the case.

Apparently, this lamb saw other lambs smoking and thought it was cool. Of course, little did it know it would lead to lungs filled with tar, on the other hand.

16. Of course, if you don’t like animals, then Easter egg cakes are a viable choice.

Then again, perhaps Easter isn't the time of year that calls for cakes with subliminal imagery, especially for events with kids around. They may not understand.

17. Happy Easter and all bow down to the dreaded Easter Bunny holding the sacred carrots.

Abandon all hope for ye who enter here. Boy, I think someone might want to call the Bunny exorcist here because this rabbit seems possessed.

18. Seems like the Easter Bunny needs to trim his claws before he scares the children away.

Recounting the rabbit's face, this won't happen anytime soon. Also needs to do something about that hump.

Recounting the rabbit’s face, this won’t happen anytime soon. Also needs to do something about that hump.

19. Happy Easter from the bunny who wants to hop in and bite your face off.

Yes, this rabbit seems like the kind to give you nightmares. You might want to have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in handy, just in case.

20. Happy Easter from the newly hatched chick from an Easter egg.

Reminds me of what the Genie said in Aladdin, "PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!! Itty bitty living space." Also, don't like the look on that chick's face.

21. Evil Easter Bunny bestows his greetings. So hop to it or else.

I don't know about you, but perhaps using jelly beans for facial features may not be a good idea. Seriously, this bunny looks more like a hare out of Hell.

22. I’m sure an Easter bunny cookie cake would make a great dessert for the whole family.

I don't know about you but there's something odd about that bunny that greatly disturbs me. Perhaps it's rising to the occasion or bursting forth with glorious song if you know what I mean.

23. Happy Easter courtesy of the Incredible Hulk Chick.

Seems like the gamma rays really spread to the barnyard variety have they? Nevertheless, the only way you can tell it's supposed to be the chick is due to the plastic.

24. Nothing commemorates Jesus’ resurrection like splattery tie dye and carrots on the cross.

Well, a tie dye resurrection cake could be all rights when it pertains to a theatrical celebration of Jesus Christ: Superstar. As with the carrots, well, they're not cruciferous vegetables.

25. Easter egg or a slice of giant old pepperoni?

Well, it's hard to say but judging by how the dotted orange egg isn't a great oval, I'd go with the old pepperoni.

Well, it’s hard to say but judging by how the dotted orange egg isn’t a great oval, I’d go with the old pepperoni.

26. Of course, when it comes to eggs, their simple oval shape shouldn’t be difficult to depict on a cake.

Wait a minute. That's no Easter egg. That's an Easter themed Christmas tree. Seriously, apparently who ever made this cake doesn't seem to understand basic geometry.

27. We all know that the Easter Bunny delivers eggs to children at Easter but did you know he also has his own carrot car?

Then again, this might not be a great artistic rendition. Also, why does the Easter Bunny have a mustache in this and carries an expression as if he's been in an accident?

28. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, Electro Egg.

Yes, this is Electro Egg. And by the look of his face, someone is bound for a shocker, literally.

29. Happy Easter from the cutest yellow chick from your nightmares!

Now the more you look at this chick the creepier it looks for some reason. Seriously, it's freaking me out right now.

Now the more you look at this chick the creepier it looks for some reason. Seriously, it’s freaking me out right now.

30. This cake depicts a chick because we all know it’s one of the few Easter animals that say, “Peep Peep.”

Yet, from how I see it, it seems like a freakish yellow seahorse to me. Or possibly a weird banana with eyes or a swan. Then again, it may well be an alien from outer space for all we know.

31. Happy Easter from the -wait a minute are those, boobs? What happened to its arms then?

Now I know that the decorator intended those to be arms. Yet, when you look at it, you have to wonder whether such confection is appropriate for children.

32. Behold, all hail our Cute Overlord, Moldy Puffs Pickle-Ears.

Is it just me or do green Easter Bunny cakes just seem disgusting to you? Well, it does to me and I don't think this bunny's thoughts are all that innocent.

33. Nothing says Easter than a cake with a volcano design.

Hate to imagine what that bunny is doing to that egg. Nevertheless, why use a volcano cake for Easter? Oh, it's supposed to be an egg, but I'm not sure if I can believe that.

34. May I present to you the Easter, what the hell is this?

Now I know this is supposed to be an Easter cake since it contains spring motifs like bunnies and flowers. Yet, I don't know if I can tell whether this is a stool or a Shinto shrine.

35. Nothing says Easter like a chick who can’t quite get out of its Easter egg.

Apparently, this decorator should've just stuck with the egg and left it at that. Having a chick come out of it is all the more disturbing for some reason.

36. Happy Easter from your beloved Easter Bunny from Hell!

Seems like this cake decorator had some traumatic encounter with a costumed Easter Bunny as a kid at the mall. Totally understandable but this doesn't stop such image from haunting children's dreams.

37. Though we all know that Easter commemorates Jesus’ resurrection, but did you know that there were two bunnies holding eggs near the cross during his crucifixion?

Yes, I know the Cross is a popular Easter motif as well as bunnies and eggs. But just because some symbols may belong on the same holiday doesn't mean they go together. I mean there's a reason why we don't include Santa in the nativity scene on Christmas for God's sake.

38. While Lambs are supposed to be sweet and innocent, this lamb is a whole different story.

Yes, this lamb may be young and spring born. But it seems to have murder on the mind and is probably the black sheep of the family in a metaphorical sense.

39. Nothing says Easter than a cake depicting a rabbit from a science experiment gone bad.

Okay, this cake was decorated by a person who A. has never seen a rabbit, B. is on drugs, C. was influenced by drawings of Dr. Seuss or other weird illustrators, or D. all of the above.

40. I now give you, Bunny Bugs.

I'm not sure why the decorator thought such concept was a good idea. They just look like pink worms with bunny heads. Disgusting.

41. Since Jesus is the Lamb of God, then it’s only fitting to have a lamb on the cross.

Now how in the hell is that a cross? If not, then what the hell is it? Then again, it reminds me of something but I'm not sure if this is the kind of post to disclose it.

42. Nothing says Easter like, cookies of gingerbread men?

Of course, Easter does revolve around the themes of resurrection and new life so it's only fitting. The gingerbread men represent the decaying corpses on the ground while the carrot and rabbit symbolize the new life coming out from them.

43. You can’t celebrate Easter without a cake of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Sure it may seem like a harmless bunny but as Tim the Enchanter said, "That's no ordinary rabbit! That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!" Make sure you have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch in handy.

44. Nothing says Easter like a cake depicting a cross of green.

Oh, my bad, that's Saint Patrick's Day. Of course, while the Saint Paddy's motifs are obvious, it apparently didn't sell by  March 17. So it's marketed as an Easter cake instead.

45. Of course, you can’t have Easter without a cake depicting a rabbit’s posterior in its natural habitat.

Let's just say, I don't understand the appeal of butt cakes and never will. Still, where's the rest of the rabbit for God's sake?

Hop Down the Bunny Trail for These Easter Treats

medium_Easter_Brunch

As most of us now know, Easter doesn’t come until April. But since this is almost halfway through Lent, I might as well get my Easter articles out of the way. Now Easter is a very important day on the Christian calendar since it denotes the resurrection of Jesus Christ after he was crucified, died, and was buried. Yet, as with Christmas, people also add their own touches with this holiday as well such as bunnies, baskets, chicks, sheep, flowers, parades, and colored eggs. Of course, there’s also the Easter Bunny as well as egg hunts and sometimes family gatherings since it’s more of a family holiday. So it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of food associated with it such as ham, bunny cake, and hot crossed buns. Cultures may vary. So without further adieu, I give you an assortment of cute little Easter treats you can’t resist.

1. If you think a bunny cake is too difficult you can always do a bird nest cake.

Now that's a big nest for so many little pastel peanut M&M eggs. Also, I don't think you can eat the bird.

4. For those who want to eat healthy, you might want to go with an Easter Bunny fruit tray.

Now this cantaloupe bunny is actually quite terrifying if you ask me. Seems like it's escaped from the bunny insane asylum and is out to kill again.

5. Treat yourself on Easter with an egg salad ham sandwich.

As with "egg" I mean a decorated one inscribed on top of the bread. Now isn't that festive?

As with “egg” I mean a decorated one inscribed on top of the bread. Now isn’t that festive? Yet I’m not sure whether that’s icing or ketchup and pineapple.

6. For your little bunnies this Easter, I’m sure these carrot patch cupcakes will do quite nicely.

Of course, the carrots may not be real yet they seem like something you'd see right out of some children's story. Nevertheless, at least they're chocolate.

Now these bonnets are quite pretty yet, they're technically hats since they have brims. Real bonnets don't.

And you thought that Bugs Bunny had problems with storage space. Hey, at least Bugs doesn't have decorated eggs as well.

10. Make your Easter memorable with this Easter bonnet veggie and snack tray.

Wonder how they manage to get the dip like that, I will never know. Yet, I like how they used a carrot peel as a ribbon.

11. If you can’t make an Easter egg veggie pizza, carrot ones may do.

All the toppings here are broccoli and carrots. So this is much simpler to make than the Easter egg one, but much less impressive.

12. What better Easter appetizer to have than chicks popping out of hardboiled eggs?

Of course, these are the kind of treats that may seem quite cute at first but when you think about it, not so much. Seriously, most of the eggs we use come from chickens.

13. If working with Rice Krispies, you can make eggs with M&Ms hidden inside them.

It helps that Rice Krispie treats are just so easy to make and that you don't have to bake them in the oven. Otherwise, the M&M candies would melt.

16. You simply can’t have Easter unless you have bunny sugar cookies.

Sure they may look like the other rabbit baked goods but they're so adorable. Just have to love their little eyes and ears.

35. You can either buy a chocolate bunny for Easter or make one with chocolate Rice Krispies and melted marshmallow.

Of course, with Rice Krispie chocolate bunnies you can select either your own creamy filling or none at all.

40. Since Christmas has gingerbread houses, it’s only fair we should have cookie houses for Easter.

Now this was probably not made for eating since cookie houses never are. But you have to admire the artistry with the chicks, pretzel windows, and white chocolate pretzel roof.

41. Nothing says Easter like little yellow pretzel chicks.

Who knew that regular pretzels from a grocery store could be just the right shape to make cute little chickies out of them? Then again, they may not be the exact shape, but close.

42. While we’re at it, you can also use pretzels to make pretty flowers with chocolate and M&Ms.

But make sure you use the peanut M&Ms for centers and the regular M&Ms for petals. Nevertheless, quite ingenious.

43. For Easter appetizers, you can’t go wrong with deviled bunny eggs.

Hey, at least these aren't meant to look like chicks, which was quite disturbing. Also, quite cute.

44. If you like bread sticks, it’s only fitting to have them resemble carrots.

You can also add parsley for the leafy ends. But other than their breaded texture, they almost look like the real thing.

45. For your Easter lunch, your kids will certainly love this hatching chick sandwich.

Not surprisingly, this chick is made from a slice of American cheese. And its eggshell is derived from bread.

46. For those who like brigadeiros, here are some of the Easter egg variety.

Now a brigadeiro is a simple Brazilian chocolate bonbon created in the 1940s. Yet, when you make them as Easter eggs, you can go all out with the decorating.

47. If you don’t like Rice Krispies, may I suggest Fruity Pebbles treats would do just as fine for colored eggs.

Of course, you might remember the Fruity Pebbles shamrock treats from my last post for Saint Patrick's Day delectables. Nevertheless, why the Flinstones celebrate Easter and Christmas when it makes no sense, I don't have the slightest idea.

48. Of course, for Easter you can make your hardboiled deviled eggs an array of different colors.

Of course, you might want to make sure they aren't the Easter eggs you dyed and intend to use for decoration. Because that could upset the kids.

49. For your kid’s lunch, you might want to send them with an Easter Bunny ham and cheese sandwich.

Now the rabbit is made from cheese and sitting on the grass. But if you must have your kid eat this during Lent or Holy Week, make sure you don't put it in their lunch on Fridays.

50. This chocolate bunny is carrying an egg in the fast lane.

Now this is professionally made but it's worth showing on this post. Nevertheless, if he goes any faster, the egg might be scrambled.

51. If you like cookies and jelly beans, then this large Easter egg cookie is for you.

Now I'm no fan of jelly beans and think they taste disgusting (even if they aren't from Bertie Bots). But this seems to have a rather elaborate design thanks to such candies and icing.

52. Now these loveable marshmallow bunnies will hop right into your heart.

Of course, these are actually quite easy to make with marshmallows, icing, and sprinkles. Yet, be careful where you place the eyes.

53. Bring flower power to your Easter with these beautiful flower cupcakes.

Like the other flower cupcakes, they're also decorated with icing, marshmallows, and sugar. But they also seem to have a fancier disposition.

54. For your dessert centerpiece, you might want to go with an Easter cookie bouquet.

Contains a hatching chick, 5 flowers, and 3 crosses. And all are decorated in each unique way. Some people seem to have too much time on their hands.

55. Bring spring into this Easter with an ice cream flower garden patch.

Sure this may look pretty but I think coconut grass and gum drops are disgusting. Also, I wonder what pastry the fencing is made from.

56. If chicks, Easter eggs, or bunnies aren’t your thing, then may I suggest a lamb cake instead.

Now this one is professionally made according to the detail. But the homemade one I found on Google Images was creepier.

57. When it comes to making Easter egg pastries, some people think bigger is better.

Now this is professionally made and something I wouldn't recommend to anybody. But I put it on my post anyway since it's an Easter treat you can't miss.

58. For those with marshmallow peeps, you can’t do wrong with making a peep cake.

Then again, since marshmallow peeps are inedible by design, I think you should just place them in dioramas. Much more entertaining that way.

59. Give your fruit kabobs an Easter touch with your marshmallow peeps.

Now it seems to me that the peeps were only added to make these fruit sticks more Easter friendly. Otherwise, I'm not sure if they have any taste beyond sugar.

Even better, you can make them all kinds of colors, decorate them, and put them into a bouquet centerpiece.

61. Why waste money on a chocolate bunny while you can make your own peanut butter fudge bunnies?

However, they seem to be just little chocolate fur balls with rabbit ears and feet. But that's beside the point so use your imagination.

62. You can also use your Rice Krispies and melted marshmallows to make Easter baskets for M&Ms.

Sure food coloring may be involved here, but aren't pastel colors for Easter kind of the point? Also, rather have M&Ms than jelly beans.

63. If you like flower cupcakes but don’t like sugar covered marshmallows, you can always use icing.

Yes, they may look like daisies with the yellow centers. But daisies are much easier flowers to draw than say, roses, which are very complicated.

64. For those who like bird’s nests, you might want to use some peeps as the birds.

Now these look cute but I'm not sure if I want to take out the peeps first before eating the nests, especially if the eggs are jelly beans.

65. For those who want to make an Easter Bunny cake but are more ambitions, you might want to go with this.

Now this might be a tad too realistic in regards to the Easter Bunny, but it's quite cute. Not sure where its cotton tail is though. But like the carrot.

66. Chocolate eggs can come in many different sizes and colors as well as are easy to customize.

Sure bunnies and chicks are great Easter motifs. But my favorites of these have to be Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead for obvious reason. Seriously, this person got them right on.

67. Of course, I can’t have a post about Easter treats without including eggs made from marshmallow bark.

Okay, I don't know about you but this looks pretty disgusting. I'm not sure why anyone in their right minds would want to eat these.

68. Nothing says Easter like a carrot cheeseball.

Now just because something looks like a carrot doesn't mean it will taste like one. By the way, the green leafy stuff is parsley.

69. You just simply can’t have Easter with some salad stuffed carrots.

And it seems that these carrots are stuffed with egg salad and lettuce as far as I can see. By the way, the carrots seemed to be made from biscuit rolls, possibly from Pillsbury.

70. Of course, nothing says Easter like having jello eggs.

Now my one of my aunts makes jello eggs for Easter. However, they usually come in one color. These seem to have a more elaborate stripes design, since there's not much you can do with jello creative wise.

71. Spring in the spirit of Easter with these cute little yellow chick cheese balls.

Of course, since chicks are yellow, feel free to use as much of cheese as you want whether it's cheddar or American. White chicks have mozzarella.

74. For your baby carrots, put them in little pots in this Easter hummus snack.

Of course, I'm not sure where anyone can get flower pots like that so small. Yet, make sure that the hummus doesn't cause a leak if those pots are from a garden store.

Well, I did have a lot of snackadiums when I did a post on Super Bowl treats. So I suppose this counts. Well, sort of.

76. For Easter, your kids will certainly love a little lamb Rice Krispie treat.

Of course, since Rice Krispie treats tend to be sticky to begin with, dipping them in the mini marshmallow pile should be no trouble. Then again, icing helps.

77. Of course, with marshmallow peeps and Rice Krispies, you can make some sushi for your Easter dessert platter.

Not sure if Rice Krispie peeps sushi is actually sushi. Yet since it's a creative endeavor no matter how inedible and would do well in a peep diorama contest, into this post it goes.

Sure their bodies may be chocolate and their legs and faces might be made from sugar. But these are nevertheless adorable.

79. For Easter snacks, you can’t do much better than blue bird almond treats.

Now these may not look like real birds or have wings. But they are quite cute even though I have to wonder how their features were painted since almonds are small.

80. When it comes to Easter cupcakes, sometimes candy could make a great decorating material.

Erin Go Bragh with These Lucky Treats on Saint Patrick’s Day

0001d4-e1361992095134

Whether you observe it as a regional ethnic and/or religious holiday (in Ireland it’s a solemnity and holy day of obligation) or as an excuse to go all out and drink green Guinness beer at the parades, Saint Patrick’s Day seems to have something for everyone ranging from leprechauns, Irish music, riverdance, the major city parades, pots of gold and rainbows, shamrocks, 4 leaf clovers. Celtic Crosses, and green beer as well as excessive alcohol consumption of beer and whiskey. If you live in Chicago, then the city’s waterways will be green. For those who don’t know anything about Saint Patrick, he was a 5th century Romano-British guy who was kidnapped by pirates and enslaved in Ireland for 6 years. Once he escaped, he decided to become a priest and return there as a missionary to convert the Irish to Christianity and was later consecrated as a bishop. After he died, he was made patron saint of Ireland as well as my dad’s namesake. Now the reason we all wear green on Saint Patrick’s Day because most of Ireland is Roman Catholic and let’s say unless you went to high school with me, you don’t want to wear orange on March 17th because it denotes Protestantism and domination under the British Crown. And if you’re in Northern Ireland on Saint Patrick’s Day, well, you might not want to wear either (but the violence going on there is political, by the way). Oh, and he didn’t drive all the snakes out of Ireland either that’s just a symbolic parable since there were no snakes in Ireland to begin with yet, the shamrock story was probably real, sort of. Pittsburgh is one of the many places that celebrates Saint Patrick’s Day with a parade. And while the Irish can complain all they want to about how the Americans commemorate their patron saint’s day, it’s one of the reasons why Saint Patrick’s Day is such a popular holiday all over the world that it’s even celebrated in Japan (with some celebrations lasting all through March), Malaysia, Germany, Switzerland, France, South Korea, Argentina, and Russia (with celebrations lasting for over a week). Yet, fortunately for them, this one isn’t about Irish drinks though I might do a post on that in the future. Instead, I’ll do a post on all the wonderful treats you can make (or buy) for your Saint Patrick’s Day party whether you be a parent, repressed culinary arts student, or whatever. So to celebrate Irish pride, be wasted, or needing celebrate something between Mardi Gras and Easter, I give you my post on these Lucky Saint Patrick’s Day treats.

1. Top of the morning with this stack of green pancakes.

No surprise if this person used any green maple syrup on these. Yet, the stack seems quite high for a standard serving.

2. These jello coins would go perfect with any Irishman’s pot of gold.

Just as long as they're not made from leprechaun urine. But let's not dwell on such disgusting thoughts, please.

3. With these cupcakes, you can taste the rainbow.

Yet, unlike skittles, most of these cupcakes will taste like vanilla. But I'm sure that the coins are chocolate, but they probably taste bad.

4. For your Saint Patrick’s Day, hit the jackpot with these rainbow jello cups with whipped cream.

Not sure if they contain alcohol but since Saint Patrick's Day is more for adults, I wouldn't be surprised. Still, you have to like how they stick coins on the top in whipped cream.

5. Some have a rainbow cake, while others have a rainbow in the cake.

Seriously, I have no idea how this is done. Yet, it does look quite pretty. Not to mention, this cake has green icing.

6. If you don’t want to use food coloring for your rainbow, I’m sure fruit would do just fine.

Toppings on these cupcakes include strawberries, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, blueberries, grapes, and marshmallows. Yet, for a second, I thought this was some sort of rainbow sushi configuration.

7. Make your Saint Patrick’s Day party wonderful with these lovely shamrock cookies.

Now these shamrocks seem like they can be from a Dr. Seuss storybook. Nevertheless, more intricate than I can master.

8. While red velvet is great for Valentine’s Day, Saint Patrick’s Day has green velvet cupcakes, too.

Now these cupcakes are quite green. Wonder if I can get the recipe to make some for my high school or college reunion, if my graduating classes have them.

9. Celebrate your Saint Patrick’s Day with these cupcakes of green beer pints.

I'm not sure if you want to give these to children. It might give them the wrong idea. Yet I love the icing effects on the frothing top.

10. For this Saint Patrick’s Day, put a little leprechaun in your child’s lunch this year.

I'm not sure you can retain the shape in a plastic bag, but I have to admire the artistry here. I especially like the marshmallow and chocolate eyes as well as the carrot beard.

I'm not sure if the rainbows are edible but the cloud icing sure is fluffy.

12. Bring in the Saint Patrick’s Day freshness with these mint shamrock Oreos.

Nice they have the mint filling with a carved shamrock on top to bring in the Saint Patrick's Day spirit. Yet, I wonder if these are bought or made.

13. For your Saint Patrick’s Day snack why don’t you try these shamrock nachos with a pot of cheese gold dip?

Of course, this would've been a perfect snack for my father. Unfortunately, he had to go on a low sodium diet. Yet, the chips might work but the cheese is totally Velveeta.

14. Make Saint Patrick’s Day special for your kids with these lovely little leprechaun hats.

Now these seem to include marshmallows, thin mints, chocolate, and icing. Your children will go as hyper as henshit over these.

15. You might not get your pot of gold. Yet, you can always have your pot of gold chocolate cake.

Nevertheless, I wonder what the shamrock and coins are made of. Probably not something that's worth anything. Yet, the pot is pure chocolate and that's all what matters.

16. Instead of tricking a leprechaun to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you can make your own.

Now these include: sour rainbow Airheads, marshmallows, chocolate, filling, and golden sprinkles. Of course, you might want to carry one with both hands.

20. Of course, nothing could make an Irish man jig than a cheese pizza with shamrock leaves.

I'm not sure what those leaves are. Must be some kind of herb that consists of a single leaf meant to resemble a 3 leaf clover.

21. This Saint Patrick’s Day, treat your guests to these cream cheese shamrock brownies.

It's ingenious on how the shamrocks are sort of green. Yet, I love the chocolate brownie part of them more.

Of course, the whipped cream on the waffles doubles for clouds.  Yet, I'm sure your kids will love this.

23. For a little Mexican flavor in your Saint Patrick’s Day, here is your shamrock taco.

Courtesy of Bernardo O'Higgins with the 4 leaf clover pepper to boot. Yet, I bet this is the kind of food Pope Francis eats on Saint Patrick's Day if he ever celebrates it for Argentina has a large Irish population.

24. Nothing says Saint Patrick’s Day like a  shamrock cake with gold coins on it.

Of course, this would be more in the spirit of Saint Patrick's Day if it included a leprechaun, rainbow, and pot of gold but I don't think the baker had the budget.

25. For your Saint Patrick’s Day lunch, you can use peppers as shamrocks.

And I see that this person is twice as lucky since they have 2 4 leaf clovers on their plate. Also, they have some creamy dressing to dip them in.

26. Celebrate your Saint Patrick’s Day with this lovely pot of gold pizza.

Of course, since peppers only come in red, green, and yellow, the rainbow doesn't have a lot of color variation. Yet, this pizza is quite inventive and I do like the shamrocks.

Yet, how they got the shamrock in the bread, I'll never know. Seriously, how in the hell did they do that?

Of course, while the bottom is in green velvet, the top rainbow part is covered in chocolate to conceal the surprise.

29. Now these green velvet cupcakes with the rainbow icing and gold coins seem good enough to eat.

And upon looking at these, I thought the icing consisted of rainbow candy canes. Yet, the coins sure seem edible but I could be wrong.

30. Since Ireland is a big potato country, then it’s only appropriate to celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with some green mashed potatoes.

Now I love potatoes just as much as the next Irish girl, but still, these are quite disgusting. Seriously, green mashed potatoes?

31. Get in the Saint Patrick’s Day spirit with treating your guests to an all in one green dinner.

Now I know this is just a normal dinner with chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a bun. Yet, add green food color and it seems quite sickening.

32. Treat your kids this Saint Patrick’s Day with this green macaroni and cheese.

Compared to the mashed potatoes and the dinner, it may not be as healthy but it's sure way less disgusting.

33. For your guests at your Saint Patrick’s Day party, you can’t go wrong with these shamrock buns.

Of course, those shamrocks are probably herbs since real clover may not be tasty to humans and more delectable to cows.

34. Nothing brings out the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day than this shamrock pizza.

If it weren't for the red pepper bits, I could've sworn it was the same cheese pizza from 15 only baked. Also, those aren't real clovers.

35. Include your dog in the Saint Patrick’s Day festivities with these shamrock dog treats.

Now I'm not sure what to think about the icing. Yet, these would be totally appropriate for an Irish wolfhound or an Irish setter since they are breeds from the Emerald Isle.

36. For appetizers, nothing will satisfy your Saint Patrick’s Day party guests more than green ravioli.

The green coloring agent here is probably pesto but I can't be exactly sure on these things.

37. Make your Saint Patrick’s Day special with an English muffin shamrock pizza.

Of course, I could tell it's an English muffin since it's small and the bottom seems powdered not smooth. Then again, it could be a bagel but I'm not sure.

38. Capture the rainbow for your Saint Patrick’s Day party with this rainbow vegetable tray.

So 3 peppers stand in for red, yellow, and green. Carrots are orange, purple cauliflower is purple, and blue is represented by blue nacho chips, which I assume is the only reason why they have anything to do here.

39. Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with these shamrocks made from Fruity Pebbles.

Basically Fruity Pebbles is a cereal with spokesmen who celebrate holidays before they're supposed to exist. Let's agree that The Flintstones take place in some kind of alternative universe of some sort.

40. Eat like an Irishman this Saint Patrick’s Day with this shamrock corned beef and cabbage salad.

Okay, this looks disgusting. Also, I tried corned beef once, too salty. Seriously, that shamrock looks like brains.

41. Send your kid off to school with this one of a kind Saint Patrick’s Day lunch.

Now this includes some 4 leaf clover jello and a sandwich with a cheese and pepper 4 leaf shamrock design. Also has "LUCKY" spelled out in bread.

43. Rock out on your Saint Patrick’s Day party with these shamrock guitar cookies.

45. For you adults out there (and I mean adults), celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with these Irish inspired jello shots.

One thing about these cookies which makes my head scratch is how in the hell can you buy golden sprinkles? Seriously, I've never seen those in any store I've been to (or maybe I wasn't paying any attention).

55. Nothing makes a Saint Patrick’s Day party than a cake with a leprechaun, rainbow, and a pot of gold.

Of course, the shamrock is green velvet while the rest of it is vanilla in 7 layers. Once again, I don't know anything about such process to get this.

67. Now these cookies emphasize what Saint Patrick’s Day is all about: leprechauns, pots of gold, Ireland, and beer.

Eh, I'm not sure if you'd want beer on a Saint Patrick's Day cookie, especially if your party has kids around. Just saying.

Get in the Festive Fat Tuesday Spirit with These Mardi Gras Treats

mardi-gras-dessert-table

When most Americans think about Mardi Gras, they think New Orleans. Yet, little do they know that this tradition has a lot of roots on in Continental Europe and Roman Catholicism, which was transplanted from French settlers in their North American colonies as well as Portuguese and Spanish settlers in Latin America. Now Mardi Gras isn’t really a religious holiday yet, it was celebrated the last chance to eat, drink, and be merry before Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of the 7 week penitential season which includes  6 weeks of Lent, followed Holy Week before Easter. Nevertheless, like a lot of religious holidays like Christmas and Easter, it has become somewhat secularized as another excuse to party. Of course, while Mardi Gras literally translates into “Fat Tuesday” in French, it has other names depending on the area like Carnival or the Feast of Fools like in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The timing of the Mardi Gras celebrations can also vary but they usually culminate the day before Ash Wednesday. Of course, not everyone celebrates Mardi Gras like myself despite being Catholic but that’s because most of my ancestors came from Germany, Ireland, Sweden and the British Isles and that I live in Western Pennsylvania, though there is a celebration in Philadelphia. Yet, it’s a holiday where parades are held and people dress costumes with some adults having a little too much to drink or screw for that matter. Still, it’s a holiday that has a lot of associations with food. So for your viewing pleasure, here are some creative Mardi Gras treats for your artistic culinary indulgence. Being American, most of the fare will be New Orleans inspired of course.

1. Bring in the festive Mardi Gras spirit with these colorful cake pops.

Now these are certainly a colorful lot. And each one of them has a unique design. Of course, if professionally made, they'll be on discount starting from Ash Wednesday for those who haven't given up sweets for Lent.

2. Make your Mardi Gras special with this one of a kind King Cake cinnamon bread.

In some places, king cake is a dish pertaining to Epiphany which marks the end of the Christmas season. In New Orleans, it's a cuisine associated with Mardi Gras. Originally in France this was a dry French bread type dough with sugar on top and a been inside 300 years ago, it's now more or less a braided Danish cinnamon fried dough type with a small plastic doll underneath. Hundreds of these are consumed in New Orleans during the season and you'll see a lot of these.

3. For dessert, you can’t go wrong with these Mardi Gras jello shot squares.

Of course, a word of caution here. Despite these squares' bright color and fruitiness, these are most definitely not for kids. That is, if they contain alcohol which is very likely.

4. Serve your Mardi Gras guests this colorful pasta salad this Fat Tuesday season.

Of course, this contains red onion and corn to bring out the color. If you think gumbo is too hot for you, you might want to go with this.

5. I do declare that no one should make Mardi Gras cupcakes without decorating them with beads.

Nevertheless, you should never serve these cupcakes to children under 3 years old for obvious reasons. Still, I also love the icing and the tiaras on some of them.

6. For your Mardi Gras appetizers, treat your guests to this specially made Mardi Gras trail mix.

Now this contains popcorn, Chex Mix, peppermints, small plastic baby dolls, and white chocolate covered pretzels with sugar all over them. Of course, don't ask me about the plastic baby. It's a New Orleans thing.

7. For those who don’t have any time to make gumbo, how about a Mardi Gras pizza instead?

Now this contains pepperoni, red onions, cheese, as well as green and yellow peppers which aren't as spice as I originally assumed in November. Nevertheless, this doesn't contain tomato sauce which is derived by a crop from South America.

8. For your Mardi Gras lunch, chomp on these colorful lunch meat sandwiches.

These can range with salami and bolongna but I'm not sure if they're from Oscar Meyer. They also have bread dyed purple and yellow without crusts as far as I can see.

9. For something more festive and healthy, you can try this Mardi Gras wrap and salad.

Of course, you can tell this is a Mardi Gras dish because the mask appears carved from some vegetable dyed purple as are some of the carrots. Nevertheless, very colorful.

Of course, you can tell that someone at a few of these if you see their lips with a very unnatural color like green or purple. Yet, each looks pretty in its own way.

11. Nothing makes a Mardi Gras party than a large cake with a purple mask with yellow, purple, and green feathers.

13. You can’t enjoy Mardi Gras without putting some candy beads on your cupcakes.

Now I think these are made from candy. I mean they sure don't look shiny to me. Yet, you'd still wouldn't want them near kids under 3 years old for obvious reasons.

14. Nothing says Mardi Gras than cakes of women’s bosoms with their beads on them.

Seems like while doing these posts, I seem to find how heart cookie cutters can be used for so many occasions. Yet, I'm not sure if I approve of this for families since this is reflective of the Mardi Gras party scene that might carry some unfortunate implications.

15. So if you wear a mask this Mardi Gras then so should your cupcakes.

Of course, these purple masks and feathers are made from icing while the cupcake is covered with white icing and sugar. Guaranteed to make some people give up their New Year's Resolutions for Lent.

16. Treat your guests this Mardi Gras with these joker cookies.

Of course, while these cookies may look cute, they may contain beads that aren't suitable for children under 3 years old. I'm just saying to all you parents out there.

17. Of course, if you live in New Orleans, you can’t have Mardi Gras without some music note and star cookies.

Because we all know that New Orleans is known for jazz music as well as Hurricane Katrina, zydeco, crime, levees, and FEMA fiascos. Also, those plastic babies near the star cookies are absolutely creepy.

What's even better about these cookies is that they were made from chocolate dough or gingerbread by what it looks like. Still, they all seem to have intricate designs.

19. Top your Mardi Gras party off with a giant mask cupcake display.

Now this might be for some special event of some sort. Still, that's a lot of cupcakes and how they keep them on without the icing sliding off amazes me. Yet, the best part about this display is that all the cupcakes are chocolate.

22. Of course, no New Orleans resident can forget to celebrate Mardi Gras without a king cake.

Now this is what the modern New Orleans King Cake looks like. Notice how it resembles a giant braided Danish garland? Also, the baby doll on this thing is creepy.

23. Make Mardi Gras a festive occasion with these lovely cupcakes.

These cupcake icing designs were probably made by: a. a professional, b. a repressed art student, c. someone who's had too much of the Mardi Gras ganja, or d. all of the above.

24. What doesn’t bring Mardi Gras to its roots than the Fleur de Lis?

Of course, the Fleur de Lis is a symbol of France and the French royal family in the Bourbon dynasty days. It was even on France's flag until the French Revolution. Still, these cookies look delicious.

26. For even greater luck on Mardi Gras, try this giant fortune cookie up for size.

Now this fortune cookie is covered in yellow, purple, and green sprinkles. Don't say I didn't warn you in case you open it. Then again, it's probably made from cake.

27. Hope these jester cupcakes manage to put a smile on your face this Mardi Gras.

Of course, I'm not sure if the jesters are edible but all seem to have their own characteristics as individuals. Also, some of them have masks on, too.

28. Make your kids the perfect Mardi Gras lunch with this King Rex crown sandwich.

Of course, this seems like a decent healthy lunch with a better content than whatever Nutrition Inc. makes. However, I think the purple broccoli is kind of pushing it with the Mardi Gras spirit. Seriously, purple broccoli belongs in somebody's acid trip.

30. Wake up this Fast Tuesday to these king cake donuts.

Of course, these are the pastries most likely consumed by the New Orleans police department which is usually busy on Mardi Gras arresting topless drunk women for indecent exposure and maybe suspicion on prostitution.

31. Treat yourself right this Mardi Gras with this colorful Mardi Gras salad.

Now this contains carrots, kale, and red cabbage. Yet, the carrots may be heirloom and only available at Whole Foods. Still, yellow peppers may do fine.

Of course, candy coated popcorn may be festive for Mardi Gras but it's not good for you, especially for your teeth. Yet, I do like how it looks in this photo.

35. Send your kid with a mask pancake lunch this Mardi Gras.

Now this combines the rituals of French Mardi Gras with the traditions of British Shrove Tuesday that usually consists of pancake breakfasts. Of course, where I live Shrove Tuesday isn't celebrated there either.

36. Of course, if your kid doesn’t like pancakes, you can always send him or her a sandwich with a Fleur de Lis.

Of course, other than the Mardi Gras imagery, there's really nothing remarkable about this lunch. Of course, Mardi Gras isn't really a children's holiday like Christmas and Easter are.

37. Treat your Mardi Gras party guests to this tearaway mask cupcake cake.

Now this is may not be as messy as cutting it, but I'm sure whoever took hours to work on it will be crying when he or she sees it being torn to pieces. Still, quite festive.

38. Of course, if you’re no fan of donut holes, you can always settle for king cake long johns.

I know they look like custom designed Mardi Gras twinkies covered in icing, but hey, to each his own. Of course, consumed by New Orleans cops arresting people for public intoxication and indecent exposure.

39. For the New Orleans Francophile, here’s a nice tearaway cupcake cake of the Fleur de Lis.

Of course, the best part about this design is that it's purple. Still, since it was originally a French colony, Louisiana bases a lot of its tradition on French culture with their legal basis being the Napoleonic Code.

40. Celebrate this Mardi Gras with this vibrantly colorful king cake.

Unlike the previous 2 king cakes I've shown, this one has multi colored icing instead of sugar. Nevertheless, I find the presence of plastic baby dolls on these quite disturbing. Maybe it's the baby carrot cake from Cakewrecks or something.

41. No Mardi Gras party is complete without these mask cookies.

Of course, some mask cookies have holes in them and others don't. In this one, the eye holes are covered in black icing. Yet, each mask is unique in its own way.

42. Of course, for those who don’t like jello shots there’s always jello slices for the Mardi Gras party.

Like the jello shots, just because they're brightly colored and made from jello doesn't mean they're for children. In fact, they might contain alcohol as well. Just, giving some people cause for parental discretion.

43. No Mardi Gras party is complete without an elaborate mask cake like this.

This cake is lined with some gold Spanish Doubloons that are more likely made from plastic to some Golden Age pirate's chagrin. Yet, you can tell that this was professionally made and very expensive.

44. Besides Hurricane Katrina, most people know New Orleans for 2 things: Mardi Gras and jazz music as these cookies illustrate.

Of course, we have a couple designs of Mardi Gras masks along with a face with dangling notes and piano hair as I see it at least. Yes, these were undoubtedly made in the Big Easy.

45. When it comes to Mardi Gras cakes, sometimes 2 tiers are better than one.

I have to admire the decorations on this like the beads, the party stuff, and the feather mask. I also like the swirls, too.

46. Now you can’t have a Mardi Gras party without including truffle chocolate beads.

Come to think of it, truffle chocolate beads must be more expensive than regular plastic Mardi Gras beads you can find at any dollar store in your area. Yet, these seem to resemble beads from some higher end store.

47. For Mardi Gras, some people prefer whipped cream with sprinkles on their jello shots.

Once again, jello shots usually contain alcohol and therefore aren't for kids. Nevertheless, if any parent wants to make non-alcoholic jello shots, then be my guest.

48. Now these New Orleans mask cookies are bound to make any Mardi Gras party festive.

Now these masks cookies are certainly elaborate and made by professionals. There's even a jazz one, too. Nevertheless, the ribbons aren't edible but they do add some sense of artistry to them.

49. For favors, you can’t go wrong with these Mardi Gras pretzels.

Now these are covered with either white chocolate or icing and decked with sugar. Maybe it would be easier to add food coloring but I didn't make these.

50. Start your Mardi Gras morning with some Mardi Gras pancakes.

Of course, these pancakes are yellow, purple, and green for Mardi Gras. Perhaps they should add green eggs and ham to it as well, but I'm not Dr. Seuss.

51. For the vegetable in your Mardi Gras dinner go with this festive salad.

Contains quinoa, broccoli, nuts, and cauliflower dyed purple and yellow as if it's from the Green Eggs and Ham world of Dr. Seuss. Seriously, I don't know what to make about food coloring. I know it's safe but it sometimes gives the wrong impression.

52. Now there’s nothing more festive on Mardi Gras than this lovely 2 tiered cake.

I do like the nice prop usage on this cake such as the mask, crown, Doubloons, and beads. Yet, I wonder if this cake is chocolate underneath the icing.

53. For you theater geeks out there, I think these cupcakes would be quite appropriate for your Mardi Gras celebration.

Not only do some of these cupcakes carry the traditional feathery Mardi Gras mask, they also have the tragedy and comedy masks as well. And it seems like they're edible but I can be wrong.

54. Then again, you can always buy Mardi Gras cake toppers in New Orleans.

Yet, I'm not sure whether the cupcake toppers on these are edible or not. However, I do love the purple icing on them though. Hey, I love purple. I can't help it.

55. For your Mardi Gras party, you can’t go wrong with icing covered star pretzels.

I'm not sure about the significance of stars on Mardi Gras but I think these pretzels are quite clever. Now where can I get pretzel stars in PA?

56. Feast your eyes on this Mardi Gras pizza for lunch.

Now these seem to contain, cheese, meat, and red onions. Yet, I'm sure the little leaf provides the green, whatever that is.

57. Hope your kids will love these king cake donuts.

I'm not sure about the little face in the donuts are about. Yet, these are sure cute that your kids will certainly enjoy them, even though they may be too young to take part in the other festivities.

58. Now this cookie set will sure make your Mardi Gras worthwhile.

Now this includes cake pops with white icing and sprinkles, coins with a Fleur de Lis, and butterfly masks each unique in their own way.

59. Now I’ve never seen a Mardi Gras mask cake like this before.

I'm not sure if that mask is made from confection or plastic. Either way, it looks very cool and quite intimidating.

60. With Mardi Gras cakes, you can’t have too many tiers.

Now I love how these tiers don't seem to look the same. I especially like the mask on top with the feathers and stickers. So pretty.

61. For party favors, I can’t see anything wrong with Mardi Gras chocolate candies.

Well, except for the person being allergic to chocolate of course. Nevertheless, these look so good enough to eat and those you know me know how I like candy.

Now unlike the previous cake pops these were placed face down. I'll take a purple one though.

63. Wake up this Mardi Gras morning with these specially made cinnamon rolls.

This person didn't have any purple sugar for the cinnabuns so he or she used black instead. I don't think it turned out very well.

64. Nothing brings the festive spirit on Fat Tuesday than this jester cake.

For a jester cake, this one seems quite sad and has a lot of stuff that isn't edible. Yet, it looks pretty cool though.

65. Of course, there’s nothing remarkable about these Mardi Gras cupcakes or is there?

Outside they may just be regular cupcakes with chocolate icing. Inside they have yellow, green, and purple interiors. So they're certainly festive underneath the wrapper and frosting.

Unlike the other treats, they're composed with black, white, and possibly blue. Also, they are quite nice to eat. Hope they weren't made by Saints fans. Probably were.

67. Nothing makes a great Mardi Gras party without covering pretzels and cookies in chocolate.

I know these are Mardi Gras treats since they all have yellow, green and purple stripes on them. And that they have a mask chocolate with them.

I like the gold party strings and the feather mask. I also like the stars on the cake as well as the yellow diamonds.

69. These Mardi Gras cake balls are good enough to pop in your mouth.

I also like how they have green and yellow drizzle as well as have purple wrappers on them. Still, I hope these have chocolate filling in them or I won't be happy.

They may not be for children under 3 years old. Yet, they certainly look great for a party on Mardi Gras.

Dig Into These Groundhog Day Treats

9_thumb[2]

Groundhog Day is a cultural holiday on February 2nd which revolves around a certain rodent coming out of its burrow to see its shadow, which will determine the weather conditions in the coming weeks (not really). If it sees its shadow, then it’s 6 more weeks of winter. If it doesn’t, early spring or so the legend says. If it comes out of its burrow situated on the wrong side of the road, then it’s basically roadkill (just kidding, but that one is probably true). Now I am no believer in rodent weather meteorology and I can even say that human meteorologists aren’t accurate on the local news. Hell, the closest thing I come to when celebrating Groundhog Day is basically watching part of The AMC marathon of Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray when Punxatawney Phil not only sees his shadow on that particular day but every day. Yet, in some parts of Pennsylvania, Groundhog Day is taken very seriously. In the southeast part of the state, Groundhog Lodges celebrate the holiday with fersommlinge, social events in which food is served, speeches are made, and one or more g’spiel (plays or skits) are performed for entertainment. At this event, only the Pennsylvania German dialect is spoken and those speaking English must pay a fee in a bowl at the center table. Yet, the largest Groundhog Day celebration is in Punxsutawney where crowds of as much as 40,000 gather to see Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow. This event has been a town staple since 1886 and is still going strong, especially since the move Groundhog Day. There’s also a lot of partying going on in the area as well. So if you need to make some treats for Groundhog Day, then come no further than me for some suggestions. So without further adieu, I give you some Groundhog Day treats for your viewing pleasure.

1. Nothing would please your party guests more than these adorable groundhog popping cupcakes.

I'm not sure if the groundhogs are edible. Yet, I am absolutely certain that the green icing will make your tongues green for awhile. Still, adorable.

2. See that these cupcakes depict Punxsutawney Phil coming out from his little den.

Of course, the icing seems like it's either yellow snow or light brown dirt. Yet, at least the groundhogs are basically cuter than the real thing (which isn't much to look at).

3. Nothing hits the spot this Groundhog day than some groundhog pudding.

Now I like how this cute groundhog looks with his face, paws, and ears being made from vanilla wafers. Still, I bet the eyes, nose, and teeth are icing.

4. Treat your kids this Groundhog Day with these tasty groundhog cookies.

Now these are just so cute. Wonder where they could get those groundhog cookie cutters. Still, would be a shame seeing them get run over by a car, wouldn't it?

5. No Groundhog Day party is complete without a cake of Punxsutawney Phil rising from the ground.

Now this cake groundhog seems to resemble a bear with buck teeth. Or one of those animals from Whack-A-Mole. Still, this should feed plenty of your guests.

6. Nothing graces a Groundhog Day party table than acorn pretzels.

I like how these pretzels are filled with peanut butter and are half covered in chocolate. Can I take one, please?

7. Of course, you don’t always need pretzels to make acorns.

Now these are made of Hershey's kisses, peanut butter chocolate chips, white icing, and vanilla wafers. Seem to have the same effect as peanut butter sandwich cookies from my Thanksgiving post.

8. Now you can’t make candy groundhogs without Almond Joy can you? Or at least I think it’s Almond Joy.

Now these groundhogs sure are cute. However, I think that Almond Joy bars are disgusting since they're filled with coconut. Then again, these could be peanut cookies with nuts on top of them.

9. Celebrate your Groundhog Day with this one of a kind cake of Bill Murray.

Because if you're Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, every day is Groundhog Day. Of course, we've all seen the movie have we? I mean it's on AMC on February 2 for 24 hours, since it's kind of the point.

10. This groundhog cake is staring right at me.

I'm not sure if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow through the chocolate dirt. Yet, I can't help thinking how adorable he is, which is a lot of what I can say about most groundhogs, particularly Gus who was the spokesman for the Pennsylvania Lottery.

11. For those who don’t like cake, then here is a nice Groundhog Day fruit tart.

I call this a tart because it seems like it's on a smaller plate. Yet, I'm sure this groundhog looks as if it's been run over or something. Somehow it looks like either a bear or possum.

12. For your Groundhog Day party, how about some groundhog pizza to make it more festive?

Now this contains tomato sauce, olives, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese. Yet, it seems to resemble a groundhog's insides for some reason. I don't know why.

13. Wake up in the morning to these Groundhog Day jelly donuts.

Of course you can tell they have jelly in them because there are fruit in the their eyes. Best treat you can give to your neighborhood Punxsutawney police officer. Seriously, they'll need it.

14. Have your kid eat lunch on Groundhog Day with this one of a kind groundhog lunch sandwich.

Okay, now the ground is made from a whole wheat tortilla while the groundhog is made from bread. The grass is of lettuce and cucumber. And the white stuff of cheese. Yet, I'm sure your child will love it since it's so cute.

15. Now let’s see if this little guy could see his shadow.

Now it seems that Punxsutawney Phil is coming out of his den as if it's an egg shell. However, I like how they use a flower and snow just to blend both possibilities.

16. Treat your kids this Groundhog day with these groundhog cake pops.

Of course, you have sprinkles for the hair as well as M&Ms for the cheeks and ears. As for the eyes and nose, I bet you they're candy. Still, adorable.

17. Of course, you can’t have Groundhog Day without these groundhog heart cookies.

I like how the ears are made from chocolate chips and the eyes from icing and peanut butter chips as well. Yet, I'm not sure using a raisin for a nose is a great idea. Because I don't like raisins.

18. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow over the giant wall of chocolate bundt?

Now I like how this person used flour for snow on this chocolate bundt cake. And I think the groundhog in the center is just so adorable.

19. Now you can make your Groundhog Day cupcakes with Oreos and M&Ms for the groundhog’s face.

Now these M&Ms can come in many different colors so there are plenty of groundhog kinds to choose from. I'll take the one with the blue cheeks, please.

20. Nothing makes Groundhog Day better than a cheese ball of Gobbler’s Knob.

Sure I think the groundhog might not be edible but there aren't a lot of Groundhog Day food ideas on Google Images. So I'll take it.

22. Entertain your guests this Groundhog Day with these cookies of Punxsutawney Phil coming out of his den.

I like how they used the teddy bear heads and made them pop out of their holes. Also like the use of sugar and icing as if it was dirt. Still, these are adorable.

23. Now nobody should celebrate Groundhog Day without these dirt pudding bowls.

Of course, these groundhogs are made from sandwich cookies, chocolate chips, almonds, peanut butter chips, and icing. Still, the Oreo dirt can also stand in for asphalt. Just saying.

24. Wake up from your den this Groundhog Day morning with this groundhog face pancake.

He many not be able to see his own shadow, but he may be able to see yours. Still, you have to admire how this person used bananas, marshmallows, and chocolate chips for the features.

25. If you don’t like groundhog pancakes for breakfast, I’m sure these groundhog donuts will catch your fancy.

Actually these Groundhog Day doughnut treats are better suited for dessert than breakfast. Yet, they still use the same kind of sandwich cookies as the previous pudding ones.

26. Experience how Punxsutawney Phil gets out of his den with these Groundhog Day push pops.

Of course, these are probably mostly made from icing and cake as well as other toppings like sprinkles for grass. Still, this is very cute.

27. Whether it be 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring, you can’t have a Groundhog Day dinner without a groundhog hotdog.

As seen here, you can use your groundhog hotdog in buns or mashed potatoes. Yet, I'm not sure how they got the ears.

As seen here, you can use your groundhog hotdog in buns or mashed potatoes. Yet, I’m not sure how they got the ears for these though.

28. If you’re not keen with the groundhog getting out of his den, here are some cupcakes with its face on them.

Now these seem to resemble all kinds of rodents like wood chuks or beavers. Still, they're adorable with their chocolate chip and icing eyes as well as buck teeth.

29. Come out of your den this Groundhog day with this little sausage rodent in rice.

Of course, it seems to be in with some veggies and grapes. Yet, I'm sure it's made from ground beef. I just used "sausage" because it's shaped that way.

30. Treat your guests this Groundhog Day with these pop up groundhog cookies.

Of course it's fair to say that these groundhogs are made from candy bars or chocolate. Yet, they're still quite adorable. And the cookies actually look like dirt.

31. Nothing makes a Groundhog Day dinner complete than a groundhog meatloaf.

Now despite being made from ground meat, this one doesn't look very pleasant for some reason. Yet, you have to love its whiskers.

32. If you can’t create groundhogs, then I suppose bear cookies will do just fine.

Well, of course, some of the crumbs serve as dirt as well but light soil means clay. Also, the cupcake is covered in green sprinkles for grass.

33. Looks like there are a lot of groundhogs popping from this cake.

I like how all the groundhog cake pops are attached to this green cake, which I think is charming. Also, those groundhogs are quite cute if I do say so myself.

34. Of course, you can’t do wrong on Groundhog Day with these pop up cookies.

If these were Halloween cookies, they'd work well as tombstones. Yet, I guess chocolate covered cookies were used for groundhogs.

35. If you don’t have any chocolate pudding perhaps chocolate chips and ice cream can substitute for dirt just fine.

Of course, I'm not sure if chocolate ice cream would make this taste better. However, I do like how they used vanilla wafers as groundhogs and almond ears.

36. Of course, you don’t need icing for a groundhog cupcake if you can use a Snicker’s bar.

 And I suppose the teeth are made from candy corn possibly left over from Halloween. Not to mention, the grass and snow probably consist of coconut. Yet, each setting is to highlight the 2 possible outcomes.

37. If you’re in the mood for ice cream on February 2nd, perhaps try this groundhog sundae.

This might contain chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and a nut bar. Still, it looks pretty cute but may cause diabetes or a sugar high.

38. These groundhog donuts are certainly a real treat.

Now white donuts symbolize 6 more weeks of winter while chocolate ones stand in for early spring. Either way, the groundhogs are very adorable with the buck marshmallow teeth and chocolate chip eyes and noses.

39. Of course, these marshmallow teddy bears would make fine groundhogs for these cookies.

Of course, these sugar covered marshmallow candies are hardly edible stuff. Yet, these cookies look so adorable just the same.

40. Of course these peanut sandwich cookies should do nicely for your Groundhog Day cupcakes.

Of course, the chocolate icing is already sprinkled with green sugar that would've been better put to use on Saint Patrick's Day. Still, I'm sure they're cute enough for kids to love.

Be Mine with These Valentine’s Day Treats

Valentines_Day_Treats_0034

Food wise, Valentine’s Day has it’s own share of goodies but usually pertains to stuff that you’d basically make for your kids during their school V-Day party event. Of course, while there may be parties, they aren’t nearly as extravagant as what you’d see on Christmas, Halloween, or the Super Bowl even. I mean, I’ve basically found no Valentine’s Day vegetable dip tray, ever. Yet, since I’ve done previous articles on treats from almost every single big holiday since Halloween, I should probably do one. After all, even if you don’t have a sweetheart this V-Day, it’s a very big holiday for treats, especially if you’re in elementary school or have child in one, especially since kids are basically obligated to bring valentines as well as treats to the whole class. And it’s usually up to the parents’ creative juices or bank account to make that possible. Not to mention, children will have to do Valentine’s Day craft projects in art class. Nevertheless, whether you’re a parent or a repressed art or culinary person, I have some treats for you that might be up your alley. So without further adieu, here are some sweet V-Day treats you might want to make for the ones you love. Still, this article might taste like diabetes since most of them are sugary sweet and may make you gag on sight of sentimentality.

1. These arrow cupcakes will basically melt your heart.

Of course, the arrows aren't edible since they're made with straws and paper. Still, they're adorable if you ask me.

2. Nothing says Valentine’s Day like X’s and O’s sugar and sprinkle cookies.

Not only do these cookies represent hugs and kisses in the days before internet emoticons but they're also great for a cookie version of Tic-Tac-Toe.

3. Sweeten up your Valentine’s Day with these lovebird cookies.

Of course, as you know being winter a lot of them roost down south. Still, it seems that one of them hasn't been paired off yet. Maybe he's lonely. Or she. I can't tell with these birds.

4. Why stop making Valentine’s Day treats for your kids, when you can make some for your dog?

Yes, these are Valentine's Day dog treats and it's the first time I showed anything for pets on my treats post. Still, I'm not sure whether covering dog treats in icing is actually good for the dog. Seriously, I'd consult a vet about that.

5. Nothing says Valentine’s Day than a bouquet of watermelon and grapes.

Seriously, who eats watermelon in the middle of winter? It's a summer food for God's sake. Also, this might be made from Edible Arrangements.

6. Show your loved one you care with this heart shaped fruit salad.

Now this contains, blueberries, strawberries, kiwis, and raspberries. Basically fruits you'd consider out of season by this time of year and probably grown in California.

7. At your Valentine’s Day party, you can’t go wrong with these hotdog and cheese toothpick favors.

However, I'm not sure that the meat is even cooked or whether it's safe to eat. Then again, it probably wouldn't look right if it was.

8. For your kids’ Valentine’s Day events at school, I’m sure you can’t go wrong with these lovely owl brownies.

Of course,  some of these owls wink while others have purplish eyes. Then again, these could just be birds for all I know. Still, adorable.

9. Show your love this Valentine’s Day by giving  your sweetheart a bouquet of cupcake roses.

Of course, the best thing about these is that they're chocolate, which means this guy probably knows my own heart (just kidding).

10. Sweeten this Valentine’s Day by carving a heart right into these apples.

Of course, this idea not only features healthy food but also is very simple to do as long as you can draw hearts right.

11. Now these hearty bear cookies are simply unbearable.

I like how all the hearts are around the creamy part of the cookie sandwiches. Seriously, these cookies are just so adorable.

12. These Valentine’s Day penguin cookies may come from the cold but they’ll melt your heart.

I'm familiar with penguins for Christmas but penguins for Valentine's Day is a new one to me. Still, they're very cute and tend to be made from Oreos.

13. Now these cookies show you and your loved one belong together like peanut butter and jelly.

Of course, this would be great for Jiff and Schmucker's new ad campaigns. Not to mention, they seem to resemble more like pop tarts than pieces of bread.

14. Stomach these butterfly pretzels this Valentine’s Day.

Eat these and you'll literally have butterflies in your stomach as far as I could see. Nevertheless, they seem too adorable to resist, especially in pink.

15. Warm up somebody’s heart this Valentine’s Day with these heart shaped calzone.

Of course, these would be nice to make on a cold winter day, especially in the middle of a snow storm. Still, might go well with the football calzones in my last treat post on Super Bowl Sunday.

16. If you can’t say it out loud, perhaps say it with cupcakes.

Then again, maybe it's should just be for your whole class if you're the teacher. It might sound stalkerish if all these cupcakes are for just one person.

17. These heart shaped candy cupcakes are just as sweet as can be.

Of course, the hearts themselves are the kind of processed Little Debbie cakes you probably find at the grocery store. Yet, at least they're better than the real ones, which are from Necco.

18. Nothing is better for Valentine’s Day than these marshmallow love bugs on a stick.

Of course, some of these bugs are so hungry for love that they have hearts in their eyes. Still, very adorable as you can see.

19. Use the heart shaped candies to decorate your chocolate cake pops.

Then again, maybe the cake pops would taste better without the heart candies. I mean those things taste like a combination of sugar, chalk, and cough syrup.

20. Wake up this Valentine’s Day with a heart egg on toast.

Or as the English call it, "Toad in a Hole" or "Egg in a Basket." Still, I'm sure someone would love this even if a child doesn't.

Of course, I wonder what's written on those pieces of paper. And I wonder if anyone would get the wrong idea.

23. Of course, this bird house love shack is place where birds can get together.

Sure gingerbread houses are mostly associated with Christmas. Yet, this one's a Valentine's Day one. Oh, and this one even has a little mailbox. Still, it's probably not for eating.

24. To honor Saint Valentine’s Italian heritage (if he ever existed) here are some heart pizzas to love.

Notice that all these pizzas have red hearts on them whether they be pepperoni, pepper, or tomato. Nevertheless, there are a lot of variations here.

28. Of course, what’s Valentine’s Day without some strawberry tart hearts?

Of course, unlike Monty Python's "Dead Bishop on the Landing" sketch, these tarts don't have any rat in them. However, the Queen of Hearts should watch out for the knave. Or the Knave should know better than to steal them, especially if he's in Lewis Carroll's Wonderland.

29. If you like Japanese food, try these heart sushi out for size.

Sure this sushi has carrots instead of raw fish. Yet, contrary to the common misconception, raw fish is actually optional for sushi. In fact, you can make sushi with just about anything as long as you wrap it in rice and seaweed.

31. Need something to do with your Christmas candy canes? So why don’t you make candy hearts on a stick with them for Valentine’s Day?

Of course, I'm sure that your Christmas candy canes might obviously be stale by then anyway. So maybe it's better to keep them in the wrappers.

Of course, you have to remove the toothpicks before eating the carrots and tomatoes (which might not have any). Nevertheless, this is adorable.

37. These lip cookies are certainly worth kissing for.

I wonder if they managed to find a lip cookie cutter at some kind of sex shop or something. Well, I've never seen such cookie cutters in any other store like that. Seriously, I haven't.

38. Show love for your kid this Valentine’s Day with a V-Day lunch set.

41. Now these cupcakes are full of X’s, O’s and hearts.

Whatever's on these cookies seem too alike to be cherries or anything grown in a garden. So they must be candies. Also, it seems that the heart team won at Tic-Tac-Toe.

Make a Wish and Blow Out the Candles for These Birthday Party Cakes

GFB_13_SCA6AMERBTY_CH1837_W1_SQ

My birthday is on January 13th in which I’ll turn 25 this year and since I don’t have many ideas for January that involve cakes (save maybe Martin Luther King Jr. Day but I don’t want to go there), I thought a post about birthday cakes would be appropriate. I mean I’ve done one on baby shower and wedding cakes, so why not? Nevertheless, birthdays are usually celebrated with cakes and presents for the guest of honor at parties and such. Still, when you get technical about birthdays, you basically only have one of them such as the day you were born. The rest of what we call, “birthdays” are basically anniversaries of that moment as we get older. Of course, I’ve also been to a lot of birthday parties as well, mainly for little babies since I’m the oldest of 24 grandchildren on my mother’s side (the youngest who celebrated her first birthday this year, but I didn’t go to her party since she lives in Maryland), which is why I really don’t look forward to parties in general (other reasons being booze and loud music). Still, it’s always been tradition for people to have cakes specifically designed for them whether it be homemade or ordered from the store (the main focus of this post). And I bet birthday cakes make up a large percentage of bakeries’ earnings followed by weddings, christenings, anniversaries, etc. Though I can go on and on about the cute little birthday cakes I’ve seen, chances are you’d probably be bored to tears. Instead, I’ll show you all the kinds of cakes that are, horribly done, inappropriate for the birthday person’s age, offensive, or just so bad they’re unintentionally funny. Some of these might not be safe for work just to make that clear. So for your pleasure, here are some birthday cakes, gone horribly wrong.

1. What better cake for a boy’s birthday than a Star Wars one, featuring Jedi with light sabers, Boba Fett, Imperial Stormtroopers, and the Enterprise?

Let's hope this 7-year-old boy isn't part of the Star Wars vs. Star Trek fandom rivalry or else he's probably throw a tantrum. Still, we all should know that the Enterprise is from a whole different franchise! Such cake would certainly piss geeks off, at Comic Con and I'm sure this baker wouldn't want to be seen there.

2. Nothing is better for a girl’s 21st birthday than a cake with Drunk Barbie puking in the toilet.

And I thought Barbie was supposed to be a good role model for girls, other than in terms of body image that is. Still, binge drinking is a real problem of teenagers and young adults, especially on college campuses. And it's a behavior that should never be encouraged. Still, they have a few of these and one with Ken, too, for boys.

3. Happy Birthday to the world’s youngest dad ever.

Now I think it's more likely that this was an inscriber's mistake and the guy who receives this is probably 80, not 8. Still, it's very disturbing if you think about it since a boy's chances of fatherhood in the second grade would be highly unlikely. That is, unless some woman molested him.

4. Happy birthday to the person who might need to see a podiatrist.

I know that this foot is supposed to represent a step or something. But still, that looks disgusting. Let's just say no to a cake pertaining to foot disease, shall we?

5. For the girl who’s just become a teenager, I suppose a cake with boobs would go quite nicely.

For God's sake, as if sexualizing young girls and teenagers isn't enough. Seriously, sure girls may have breasts by the time they're 13, but that's no reason for getting a boob cake for them on their 13th birthdays! Seriously, what the hell is wrong with this girl's parents?

6. There is a no more appropriate cake for a 16-year old than one with the Bud Light logo on it….when he or she turns 21 five years later.

Seriously, what the fuck? Putting a Bud Light logo for a 16 year old's birthday cake? Teen drinking is illegal and anyone caught with a Bud Light gets arrested for under aged drinking. It's even worse for adults who serve alcohol to teens. For God's sake, why?

7. Happy 17th birthday, baby girl, and hope you don’t go into labor at prom.

Those who've seen my post on baby shower cakes would be familiar with this design. And if a pregnant torso cake is bad enough for a baby shower, then one for girl's 17th birthday is just very inappropriate. Seriously, we have 16 and Pregnant, daytime talk shows, and Teen Mom, do we have to have anything else pertaining to teen pregnancy?

8. Sure I’m perfectly fine with a castle cake for a little girl’s birthday party, especially if it has a princess theme. What can possibly go wrong with that?

Then again, perhaps this cake isn't appropriate for Aubrie's birthday party and perhaps more suitable for her bachelorette party when she gets older. Seriously, there's just something phallic about those pink castle towers for some reason. Maybe the baker shouldn't have gone with cones.

9. Happy 4th Birthday, Dylan, and by the way, we had Peanut put down.

The parents probably thought their plan was a success since their son Dylan still hadn't learned to read. But still, if Peanut had died when Dylan turned 5, then he probably would've ran out of the room crying. Nevertheless, is there any birthday cake for a 4-year-old more depressing than this?

10. Happy Birthday, to uh, what’s his name again?

Of course, if you're the person at the office who has to order a cake for a co-worker and you can't remember his or her name, then this is the perfect cake for you.

11. Nothing makes a better birthday cake for a 6-year-old girl than one with a lot of dangerous weapons that can kill you, courtesy of the NRA.

Why the fuck would anybody order a birthday cake like that for a little girl? Now gender differences aside, I think a cake pertaining to Disney Princesses, Barbie, or My Little Pony would've been more appropriate. Also, cakes that look pink and feminine as well as catered to little girls. Any of those choices would've been much more appropriate than having a theme for a little girl's cake that advocates violence. I just wonder what's going through Mercedes' parents' minds.

Why the fuck would anybody order a birthday cake like that for a little girl? Now I have nothing against this cake being for a girl. Yet, I think a cake pertaining to Disney Princesses, Barbie, or My Little Pony would’ve done fine (same goes for boys as well). Also, cakes that look pink and feminine as well as catered to little girls (though if boys like that, that’s okay, too). Any of those choices would’ve been much more appropriate for any 6 year old’s cake than a theme advocating violence. I just wonder what’s going through Mercedes’ parents’ minds (NRA diehards who probably did this to show their support for the 2nd Amendment, assholes). This is just fucking insane!

12. Of course, what better venue could there be for a baby’s first birthday than Hooters?

Jesus Christ, can there be a worse place to celebrate a baby's first birthday than at a restaurant known for their scantily clad waitresses with enhanced sex appeal? Then again, there are strip clubs and night clubs. Still, just E. J. is the child of one of the staff.

13. No cake theme commemorates a baby’s first birthday better than deer hunting season.

Sure the scenery may be pretty and S. J. won't remember a thing about this special day. But, c'mon, is a cake depicting the last moments of a buck's life an appropriate subject for a first birthday cake? Perhaps it would be better just to remove the hunter.

14. Man, turning a year old must be a big milestone in a person’s life isn’t it?

If by, Levi, you mean your pet hamster, then yes, I'm sure this will do fine since they only live for 2-4 years anyway. However, if by Levi, you mean your child, then what the hell? One year olds are still babies who might be on the verge of walking if they aren't all ready. That isn't over the hill at all. Not even close. That's barely climbing it.

15. Happy second, I mean first birthday little Ritchie. I’m confused.

Maybe the boy's parents couldn't get a cake shaped like a 1 so they got him a 2 cake instead. Either that, or the bakers made a mistake. Still, talk about getting your years mixed up.

16. Now this is certainly a first birthday cake with a 1 on it or so it’s suppose to be.

Okay, now that may not look like a 1. Seriously, there's something phallic about that number for some reason. Nevertheless, if a baker can't do a 1 properly, he or she could just have cut a straight line. This cake seems like it's more cut out for a bachelorette party than a baby one.

17. Best wishes for your second birthday, John, courtesy of angry Big Bird.

If Sesame Street's Big Bird was a character from the Angry Birds game, he'd look like this. Seriously, that's such a a terrible rendition and I'm sure every 2 year old would know that Big Bird doesn't look like that.

18. Hope your birthday is filled with high times, Tawn.

If this cake is made from hashish brownies, then it's safe to say that it probably came from a marijuana bakery from Colorado or Washington. Still, other than the brown patch in the corner, it's a birthday cake Willie Nelson would approve.

19. Happy Birthday, Mel, from your defecating My Little Pony.

Seems that Rarity doesn't take too well to Mexican food for some reason. Either that, or she has a case for diarrhea real bad with a perhaps spastic colon. Guess she should go see the vet about that.

19. Of course, you can’t throw a kid’s birthday party without a cake of Cookie Monster having a beer.

Sure cookies may not be nutritious snacks, but at least they're better for Cookie Monster to consume on a child's birthday cake than a swig of beer. Seriously, Cookie Monster's alcohol consumption really isn't making him a good role model on Sesame Street. Still, I kind of wish Cooke Monster would go back to eating cookies.

20. Happy a-5th Birthday, Tony, courtesy of the 1970s porn incarnation of Mario.

Sure Mario may be wearing overalls, but this isn't really a picture of him I'd like to see on a child's birthday cake, especially for a 5-year-old. Still, Princess Peach must've thought Mario looked sexy in that outfit.

21. Happy 40th birthday, Shelley, from the Dominatrix Hello Kitty.

This is the kind of birthday cake you give to a woman who has a thing for Hello Kitty as well as the 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy. What would even be funnier would be if Hello Kitty was with a grey Tomcat in this one. Nevertheless, unlike some of the other cakes so far, this is at least age appropriate despite its disturbing implications.

22. Nothing makes a better birthday cake than one depicting a standing 2 legged horse with chainsaws.

If Leatherface wanted a pony when he was growing up, this bronco would've been perfect. Still, whoever came up with this idea must not have been right in the head to say the least. That, or probably thought a cake with a horse and chainsaws would've been cool.

23. You see, kids, unicorns do expel rainbows from their behinds.

Of course, we all know that horses shit a lot, do we? Still, unlike the boob cake, this is certainly appropriate for a 13 year old girl. Disgusting, but appropriate.

24. Nothing says, “Happy Birthday” better for a girl than a dangerous impaling unicorn on the rampage.

Still, while the other unicorn cake was probably accidental in the design, this one was probably done on purpose. I'm sure Katherine isn't a young girl in the least. Still, despite being traumatizing to kids, it's pretty funny.

25. Happy Birthday, Scott, from Shitting Bull.

Of course, with Scott being at least a teenager, I'm sure he'd find a cake like this hilarious. Seriously, there's a lot of bathroom humor on Comedy Central, which is a channel popular for boys his age.

26. Of course, for a 4 year old girl, you can’t go wrong with a horse cake.

Man, that horse sure looks creepy and it doesn't seem in the mood for sugar cubes. Perhaps it's after little girls' souls.

Man, that horse sure looks creepy and it doesn’t seem in the mood for sugar cubes. Perhaps it’s after little girls’ souls. Still, at least it doesn’t look like it’s from The Godfather.

27. Now this would be a perfect cake for someone in the exterminating business.

Then again, the dead hamster on its wheel kind of suggests that it wasn't ordered by a person who had much esteem for the guest of honor. In fact, he or she is probably someone who let the other person watch their pet hamster who died while he or she was on vacation. Still, it's possible that the hamster probably was 2-4 years old and died of natural causes.

28. Looks like somebody doesn’t like Jarman.

This cake was supposed to say, "Happy Birthday, Jarman/You're an ace." Guess that someone really doesn't know the difference between "ass" or "ace" or the person ordering it just had really bad handwriting.

29. Of course, when it comes to little girl birthday cakes, you can’t go wrong with Disney Princesses.

Okay, some baker managed to make many of the Disney princesses I grew up with seem strangely terrifying for some reason. Seriously, these look so freaky looking.

30. Happy 3rd Birthday, Princess Alyssa, from drunken skank whore Belle.

Man, and I thought Belle was supposed to be one of the best role models of all the Disney Princesses, sans the Stockholm Syndrome involved. Not to mention, Beauty and the Beast was my favorite Disney movie as a little girl. My childhood is ruined.

31. Now perhaps Snow White is a safe cake idea. What can go wrong with her?

Yikes! For God's sake what's with the hand coming out from her dress? Seriously, that's just terrifying if you ask me. That's not normal at all.

32. Okay, so perhaps a princess birthday cake doesn’t need to be from Disney then.

So I suppose that this is the princess from "The Frog Prince" story transformed into a menacing evil sorceress. Then again, from what I read about it, the frog was kind of an asshole who thought she owed him sex after he found her golden ball from the well.

33. Happy Birthday, to the unemployed 34-year-old person who hasn’t moved out of his or parents’ house yet.

Even funnier is that hist cake is decorated with a pacifier and Barbie rings. Still, the message is kind of sad yet fairly funny at the same time.

35. Nothing makes a better birthday cake than one depicting a person guillotining him or herself.

Then again, Neil may just be a professor of history who's area of expertise is the French Revolution. Still, quite gory if you ask me and very likely to traumatize children.

36. Now what better cake for a 4 year old boy than one depicting his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? What can possibly go wrong with that?

Seems like life hasn't been going too well for Leonardo. Yet, why try to stab himself in the head for God's sake? Still, better call the suicidal hotline, pronto.

37. A Buzz Lightyear cake. Surely, nothing bad can happen here.

Okay, so is Buzz Lightyear supposed to be an Egyptian Pharaoh or a space explorer. Having seen Toy Story, I'd say space explorer but he looks pretty stiff like a Pharaoh's sarcophagus.

38. I’m sure a 3-year-old would delight in this Dora the Explorer cake.

Okay, so this baker seems to have done the unthinkable. Make the adorable Dora the Explorer utterly terrifying through the motif of of Pre-Columbian art or just plain terrible artistry. Still, this cake is bound to give little Lily nightmares when she sees this. Jesus Christ.

39. Of course, clowns are often a theme of many kids’ cakes. Apparently parents seem to find them acceptable decor for some reason. Let’s see how this one figures out.

Actually I think clowns are quite freaky, lame, and perhaps scary. Unsurprisingly, I find this horrifying for obvious reasons. May lead any small child into a lifetime of therapy.

40. Now I’m sure a caterpillar is perfect for a baby’s first birthday cake. Nothing can go wrong with that.

Now I don't know about you but that is perhaps the scariest caterpillar I've ever seen. Makes me unlikely to want to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar ever again.

Now I don’t know about you but that is perhaps the scariest caterpillar I’ve ever seen. Makes me unlikely to want to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar ever again.

41. Oh, boy, a baseball cake. Perhaps there may be some scandals with steroid use in the MLB but I’m sure this is a perfectly appropriate cake theme for a boy’s birthday.

Okay, that now that long phallic thing certainly looks woody but it in now way resembles a baseball bat to me. Yet, I'm not sure if this 6-year-old birthday boy seems to notice. If he does, then he might find it funny.

Okay, that now that long phallic log certainly looks woody and hard but it in now way resembles a baseball bat to me. Yet, I’m not sure if this 6-year-old birthday boy seems to notice. If he does, then he might find it funny. Not sure if it would hit a home run with the parents though.

42. Now I’m sure a bear won’t do any harm for a baby boy’s first birthday cake.

For those who've learned how to write in cursive, you'd know exactly why I included this cake on this post. By the way, the boy''s name in question is supposed to be, "Tucker." Yeah. The bear is fine, by the way.

43. Happy first Birthday, Vanessa, from the homicidal giraffe.

I know that's just red icing but it just reminds me of blood for some reason. Also, that giraffe is utterly terrifying if you ask me. Yes, he's out to kill and he will find you!

44. Superheroes are certainly a decent party theme for boy’s birthdays at any age, even if it’s Marvel’s Avengers.

Still, if your son is turning 3, perhaps a cake depicting Thor's hammer isn't a good idea. I mean there's a chance that Mjolnir might have the tendency to resemble male genitalia. Just saying.

45. If you’re kid likes marine life, a fish cake is certainly a decent choice.

Nevertheless, if you present a cake like this to little Tyler it's very likely he's going to cry if he knows about fish corpses floating at the surface upside down. Seriously, unless the parents turn the fish around, this is a pretty sad birthday cake for children. I mean birthdays are supposed to be happy occasions, not reminding kids of death.

46. I think it’s rather nice for 6 year old Jeff to show his feminine side.

Actually this cake is for a little 6 year old girl named Jess. Yeah, I have no idea how any decorator could make that mistake, especially on a birthday cake that's obviously for a girl. I mean Jeff is definitely a boy's name.

47. As I know from watching my cousins grow up, Thomas the Tank Engine is very popular. Nonetheless, he’s become a viable birthday theme for young boys.

Seems that Thomas is very keen on running somebody over right now. Seriously, his eyes have this kind of a possessed look like a serial killer intent on killing somebody for the thrill of it all.

48. Now lighthouses make great picturesque sights in photos and paintings. So it’s only natural they should be on birthday cakes.

Seems like Billy Joel wasn't the only one working with the rod and the reel in "Downeaster Alexa." And if you saw this cake, you can even say it glows.

Seems like Billy Joel wasn’t the only one working with the rod and the reel in “Downeaster Alexa.” At least you don’t need to tell this baker’s wife he’s trawling Atlantis but I’m not sure he has his hands on the wheel.

49. Happy Birthday Jamie sponsored by Chevron, the company fracking land in my neighborhood (bastards).

Of course, the person who ordered this cake, wanted a chevron shape on this cake since the recipient is in the military. Instead, they got a a Big Oil company logo that's now causing widespread environmental damage. Not to mention, it's known for apologizing for a devastating gas well explosion to Greene County by giving them coupons for pizza and pop. Seriously, look it up.

50. Of course, nothing says, “Happy Birthday” better than a cake of a headless woman in a poodle skirt.

Sure this cake won't frighten the kids, honestly. Yeah, right. Still, this woman is said to be a direct descendant of the Headless Horseman from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

51. Now while Barney the Purple Dinosaur makes adults want to scream, he should be perfect for a child’s 4th birthday cake.

I have to admit, this ferocious Barney the Purple Dinosaur is actually kind of cool as well as an improvement to the original. However, this incarnation might make little Patrick pee his pants upon sight. But still, I can't blame the baker.

52. Of course, when it comes to fairy tale themes on kids’ cakes, I’m sure you can’t go wrong with “The Three Little Pigs.”

On second thought, maybe "The Three Little Pigs" wasn't a good idea for 5-year-old Phillipas birthday cake. Yes, the Big Bad Wolf chasing his bacon will probably cause little kids nightmares. Of course, in the original version, he eats the first 2.

53. Of course, nothing commemorates a boy’s first birthday than a cake with elephants.

Oh, my God, have I ever seen a first birthday cake so depressing as this? I mean the elephants on this cake look as if they're all dead. Seriously, a first birthday cake is no platform to protest the black market ivory trade that funds terrorism and hurts the environment. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is wrong with this decorator?

54. Of course, when it comes to birthday cakes, some decorators follow order directions to perfection.

Then there are some cake decorators who write on the cakes everything they heard on the phone as well. Still, at least this one followed directions, but maybe a little overboard.

55. Of course, birthday cakes aren’t always for kids. This one is for an older guy as seen by the wheelchair.

Okay, I'm not sure why they call a wheelchair bound guy "Chucknuts" and I really don't want to know. Then again, this could just be for a party with the guy's friends, not his grandchildren.

56. For a 4-year-old girl, you can’t go wrong with just a standard cake with flowers.

Sure the yellow flowers are pretty, but wait a minute. What the hell is a burning house doing here for God's sake? Still, I'm sure it won't traumatize little Isabella. Yeah right.

57. For a young boy, I’m sure this shorts cake will do quite nicely.

There's something rising from this cake's shorts. And as I can see it from the candles, Eamon is at least 8 years old. And a Joe Boxer cake is certainly not appropriate for a boy that age. Basically the boy's version of the boob cake. Seriously, what the hell were they thinking?

58. Happy 7th Birthday, Kailey, and by the way, you’re going to die.

I know we must all die someday. But is really all right to bring this up on a 7-year-old girl's birthday cake? Sure she may have a birthday near Halloween but still. I'm not sure a tombstone cake is a good idea.

59. Looks like somebody’s holding a grudge here.

Okay, let's just hope this cake isn't at some party with the guest of honor surrounded by friends and family. Because that would be bad. And let's just say, this is about as inappropriate as they come.

60. Nevertheless, you can’t go wrong with space aliens here, especially when it pertains to a 2-year-old’s birthday.

Now the space aliens on this cake are find. It's just that the cake decorator seemed to think their faces were upside down, and thus that's why the writing is what it is. Still, the kid's 2 so it's not like he'll notice anyway.

61. Happy Birthday….or not.

Seriously, if you were going to stage an intervention about someone's drinking problem, I'd sure as hell wouldn't think writing it on the cake is a good idea. Just saying.

62. Seems like Kathy isn’t well liked by those who are supposed to love her. So sad.

According to the candle count, it's possible that Kathy is 4 years old. It may not be the case, but if she is, chances are she'll probably throw a tantrum at her party, if she's able to read it.

63. Some cake decorators follow directions all too well, while others not in the intended context.

Of course, who ever ordered this birthday cake severely overestimated the cake decorator's intelligence. Seriously, the person just wrote, "the picture is in the flash drive" instead of getting the picture from the flash drive.

64. Sure a donkey birthday cake is a splendid idea. Nothing can possibly go wrong with that.

Let's just say, you probably don't want to invite this cake decorator to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey. I mean even if he or she doesn't have blind fold, they still don't have any idea where a donkey's tail should be.

65. Of course, for ladies who enjoy sleazy Harlequin Romance novels, I’m sure a shirtless guy taking his pants off would just be the perfect cake for you.

Oh, no. Just no. Please, I'd perfectly fine if that cake was for a woman but Tracy is supposed to be a 14-year-old girl. Seriously, couldn't her parents just order a cake with The Hunger Games theme instead? At least that would've been more appropriate since the books are in the Young Adult genre.

66. Now that Ashley has turned 18, she can start buying menthols for the whole family.

Seriously, just because a someone's able to buy cigarettes after they turn 18, doesn't mean a cigarette themed cake is a good idea. In fact, it's certainly not. I mean tobacco addiction is a worldwide health issue, which kills people every day from respiratory disease, cancer, COPD, emphysema.  and other wonderful chronic and life threatening ailments.

Seriously, just because a someone’s able to buy cigarettes after they turn 18, doesn’t mean a cigarette themed cake is a good idea since tobacco kills a third of its users. In fact, it’s certainly not.

67. Happy 20th Birthday, alleged teen dad.

This may either be an anniversary cake or a birthday cake with a typo. Either way, the 20th doesn't glowingly reflect his parenting skills. Seriously, most 20-year-old dads are either deadbeats or don't even know they are dads in the first place. Sure there may be some responsible dads that age, but they're a rarity.

68. If you have any Republicans in your family, celebrate their birthdays with a one of a kind Ronald Reagan cake.

Now I am not a fan of Ronald Reagan and don't think of him as a great president (in truth I view him as quite the opposite). However, I understand that many Republicans view him on the same level of Jesus for some reason. Nevertheless, even if you know a Republican who has a birthday, you probably want to keep politics out of it. Seriously, such subject can really ruin a party.

69. Happy 9th Birthday, sweetie, courtesy of Pedobear.

Okay, I know Pedobear is a character used to detect and make fun of pedophiles on the internet. However, this doesn't mean he's the kind of character you'd want on a 9-year-old's cake. Also, "herd" should be "heard."

70. Now I have no problem with Spiderman being on a boy’s birthday cake since they love superheros.

Peter Parker, I know you're probably a young man. However, maybe it's not a good idea to twerk in front of kids, especially in your Spiderman suit. Okay?

Peter Parker, I know you’re probably a nice young man who the kids view as a role model. However, maybe it’s not a good idea to twerk in front of kids, especially in your Spiderman suit. Okay?

71. Of course, if you don’t think icing is a good idea for letters, maybe you should go with sugar letters seen at any grocery store.

Now seriously, that's a really mean thing to say to a 6-year-old, especially on his or her birthday.  I mean the kid's most likely in kindergarten for God's sake, even if that may be true.

72. When it comes to boys, I’m sure a birthday cake theme of his favorite video game will do no harm.

Unless it's a Grand Theft Auto cake for a 4-year-old. I mean that game is rated M for Mature due to violence and adult content. Seriously, this cake is not appropriate for a 4-year-old all. Nevertheless, what does a cake like this say about Lil' Derrick's parents for God's sake?

73. Now that this guy has turned 21, he can finally have a birthday cake of a stripper butt and a glass of beer.

Now just because turning 2l makes a guy legally eligible to enter a strip club or drink, doesn't mean you should commemorate that eligibility with a birthday cake. Not to mention, there are plenty of guys who are probably not into strip clubs anyway. Nevertheless, wouldn't be surprised if this cake was made for a frat boy.

74. Sure a baby picture cake seems like a cute and wholesome idea.

Okay, now that's a baby is just creepy. And even if Kelly looked like that, she was probably cuter. This baby seems like it wants to suck the soul out every person she encounters.

75. Now I may not like Playboy, but I see nothing wrong with having a Playboy cake for a grown man’s birthday.

Jesus Christ! This is for a 12-year-old girl, which is just wrong. Seriously, now I have nothing against Holly having a bunny cake for her birthday. But a Playboy Bunny cake, well, that's just inappropriate on many levels.

Jesus Christ! This is for a 12-year-old girl, which is just wrong. Seriously, now I have nothing against Holly having a bunny cake for her birthday. But a Playboy Bunny cake, well, that’s just inappropriate on many levels. I wonder why her parents would even think of  ordering this.

76. Of course, when it comes to big birthday parties, sometimes 2 cakes are  better than one.

You'd think this is for a mother's 30th birthday party. Yet, when you see the other cake, turns out it's actually for her 60th. Nevertheless, pretty mean if you ask me.

77. Happy Birthday, Dana, and if you’re scratching in your nether region, that that was me. Sorry.

Sure this cake may not be appropriate for a birthday, but at least the guy let Dana know about his STD and apologized. Also, he remembered her birthday and sent her a cake for the occasion. A lot of guys don't even do any of that.

78. Now I’m sure a birthday cake with cars is perfectly fine for a boy.

Hmm, seems like there's been an accident on the the intersection, which could've been prevented with simply installing a goddamn traffic light. Then again, it's probably a country road. And now the birthday boy's just wet his pants. Still, the car position reminds me of Matthew Crawley's death scene from Season 3 of Downton Abbey.

79. Have a hairy Birthday, Emma, courtesy of 1970s Tom Selleck.

Then again, maybe Emma is a fan of Tom Selleck and his hairy chest. Still, doesn't help that he looks like a creepy 1970s porn star on this cake. By the way, his chest hair is represented by sprinkles.

80. Of course, I wonder if birthday cakes actually look like this from The Wire.

And if it was ordered by a character from The Wire, I wonder who made the request. Was it: a. Jimmy McNulty for one of his kids. b. Bunk Moreland for his wife or one of his kids, c. Cedric Daniels for Ronnie, d. One of the Barksdales, e. Someone else from the Baltimore Police Department, or f. all of the above. All I know is, it ain't from Omar for he doesn't swear at all but watch out for his shotgun.

Touchdown with These Super Bowl Sunday Party Treats

MG_1020w

So Christmas and New Years has come and gone, so what’s next? Of course, for me, I have my 25th birthday on the 13th and there’s Downton Abbey. Nevertheless, for those repressed culinary arts aficionados, don’t worry for though the Super Bowl is only a month away, January is playoff season so this will give you plenty of time to apply your creativity in the kitchen. Now for those who don’t live in the US, Super Bowl Sunday is the day of the NFL professional football championship in which the winning team that wins receives the Vince Lombardi trophy and a special player gets the Super Bowl MVP trophy, too. Of course, Super Bowl Sunday is sort of like an unofficial national holiday in America, in which families across the country to watch the two best football teams such as the NFC champion and the AFC champion for the ultimate Vince Lombardi trophy. Now being from the Pittsburgh area, I usually watch the Super Bowl if the Steelers are playing and I know this year, they’re in the playoffs. Of course, the bad news is that they play my Uncle Mike’s team, the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday in the Wild Card spot. Yet, if the Steelers do make the Super Bowl, I’ll certainly be torn between local loyalties and watching Downton Abbey, which is one of my favorite shows (it’s really that good). Still, I may not be into the Super Bowl party scene or sports in general (I love my Downton though, especially the Dowager Countess), but my dad played football in high school and has been watching football games ever since while I’ve spent eight years in high school and college marching band. Nevertheless, there are many who have Super Bowl parties and might be looking for ideas for food (and believe me, a lot of food is consumed during the Super Bowl, not all of it healthy). Of course, there are the traditional dishes like nachos, Buffalo wings, hamburgers, hotdogs, potato chips, tacos, pretzels, bacon, and anything else that’s not good for your arteries, all with the side of beer. However, I try to take the unconventional turn. So without, further adieu, here are some great Super Bowl treats to score a touchdown with your Super Bowl party guests. Also, this post has nothing to do with the NFL and it will probably be sponsored with brands like Chevrolet, McDonald’s, Burger King, Bud Light, Miller, Dodge, Ford, Honda, and Budweiser. Some treats might be from previous years.

1. For those from Baltimore, here are some winning cookies for the Baltimore Ravens.

Sorry, Uncle Mike, but Aunt Jane will never ever make these for you. Also, I can't believe this person has jerseys of a guy with two murder allegations and a guy caught on a security camera for knocking out his wife in Atlantic City. Yeah, the Ravens are a great team of role models aren't they?

2. I think I’ll take a 30 yard pass with these deviled football eggs.

They may not be the appetizers you like, but they're a lot healthier than a lot of the traditional tailgating football fare.

3. Behold, the Mega Snackadium.

You'll see a lot of these in this post. Still, this is the largest of the snack stadiums by far. Of course, since this one is probably used by a restaurant, it doubles as an all you can eat buffet.

4. To honor the late Vince Lombardi’s Italian heritage, score a touchdown with this delicious pepperoni pizza Vince would’ve wanted his mother to make.

Now I know that footballs are brown but I'm sure pepperoni will do. Also, despite that pepperoni contains lots of salt, this pizza is probably better for you than a lot of things.

Now I know that footballs are brown but I’m sure pepperoni will do. Also, despite that pepperoni contains lots of salt, this pizza is probably better for you than a lot of things. This is called the Vince Lombardi special.

5. For those in New England, here are the jersey cake pops of your favorite Patriots.

Now the New England Patriots are known for winning 3 Super Bowls in 4 years as well as Spygate. However, they lost their last two Super Bowls against the New York Giants. And one of them was when they were undefeated until then. Still, the Patriots are one of those teams you'd love to hate.

6. While you can munch on the Snackadium during the day, save room for some stadium desserts.

With cookie crusts, icing stands with sprinkles, fruit roll-up flags, and pudding turf, I'll take it. Now I'm sure those sprinkles had very expensive seats because Super Bowl tickets aren't cheap.

7. Since hamburgers are a staple tailgating dish, why not have them for dessert?

Sure these cookie and cream replicants don't exactly resemble cheeseburgers, but I'll have them. Besides, they're probably better for you than a Big Mac or a Whopper.

8.  Now this 12th Man Snack Stadium is a great winning addition in a Super Bowl party for any Seattle Seahawks fan.

This one even has cookie versions of its key players on the team. Of course, they all look the same though. Still, they're the most recent Super Bowl Champions who beat the Denver Broncos last year. Steelers beat their ass in 2006 though.

9. Grace your Super Bowl party dessert platter with this large Cheeseburger cake.

Of course, if it's a chocolate cheeseburger cake, I'd call it a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" in the words of Jimmy Buffett. Of course, I'm sure Parrottheads know what I'm talking about.

10. Nothing says Super Bowl party than a football shaped bread bowl filled with chili.

And if you have leftovers, chili even tastes better the second time you heat it up. Not sure about the bread bowl and cheese though. Yet, the golden brown bread almost matches the color.

11. Now I’d sure like to intercept a cream football covered with chocolate chips.

God, I would really like to have this chocolate chip football on my Super Bowl party dessert platter. I mean who can't resist a chocolate football, or anything else chocolate for that matter?

I think  what's under those footballs has to be cake, preferably chocolate cake. Still, I'll eat them.

13. Score in your Super Bowl dinner with these football calzones with tomato sauce as a side.

Now compared to the other gameday delights, these calzones and tomato sauce actually resemble something like a gourmet meal. You know, like what you'd see on a cooking show or a recipe book.

14. These Rice Krispie football treats will make your Super Bowl Sunday worthwhile.

Now I'm not sure if you'd take to them, but I'm positive your kids will. Then again, they're made from chocolate Rice Krispies at least I hope so.

15. To wet your appetite for the big game, try these nice football bites.

Now these have pepperoni shaped footballs, cheddar cheese, and Ritz crackers. Of course, I don't know what the white stuff is on the pepperoni. Probably cheese.

Now these have footballs shaped kielbasa slices, cheddar cheese, and Ritz crackers. Of course, I don’t know what the white stuff is on the meat. Probably cheese.

16. Behold, I give you the mushroom and cheese Denver Broncos tortilla pizza.

Actually that's a pretty good rendition of the Denver Broncos logo. I mean, that's pretty damn good. Still, I don't know if the mushrooms make a good substitute for a blue background. Still, the Broncos lost the Super Bowl last year.

Actually that’s a pretty good rendition of the Denver Broncos logo. I mean, that’s pretty damn good. Still, I don’t know if the mushrooms make a good substitute for a blue background. Still, the Broncos lost the Super Bowl last year, even though they had Peyton Manning.

17. Enjoy your Super Bowl party with these edible cupcake wraps.

I'm not sure whether these are manufactured or made by some repressed art student, but chocolate ones have the football while vanilla ones have the yard lines.

18. And now, I give you all, Hoagie Snackadium, home of Super Bowl BLT!

Hey, that's the football pepperoni pizza I posted earlier. Still, to me this seems like a healthier option than the other stadiums so far, but seems to contain a lot of carbs and fat.

19. Of course, you can’t have any Super Bowl party without a side of football shaped beer bread decorated with bacon and cheese.

Nevertheless, this is certainly a basket of Super Bowl bread rolls fit for any man. I mean it contains all the things men would want as well as the high cholesterol content.

20. For Super Bowl Sunday, it’s best to serve the guacamole dip as a football field.

Of course, this person couldn't afford to build a snackadium so they just stuck with a guacamole dish instead. Nevertheless, pretty clever.

21. Nothing says a Super Bowl party like a red velvet football shaped and chocolate chip covered cheese ball.

Can't believe this is my second chocolate chip covered cheese football I've posted already. Guess I have a thing for chocolate. Of course, nobody can have too much of that.

22. Now it seems like this person wants to honor the playoff season with hotdogs representing each team.

I wonder what the hotdog from Pittsburgh would look like. Also, why does the New York one have blue ooze on it? That can't be normal. Oh, it's supposed to represent the Giants. Also, that Green Bay hotdog looks disgusting.

23. Now these are the perfect cookies for any city of Champions.

Now this person really got the team logo right on this one, which the Pittsburgh Steelers have on only one side of their helmets. Nevertheless, not bad for the 6 time Super Bowl champions, am I right?

24. Of course, you can’t really go wrong with chocolate covered strawberries.

Still, they also make great Valentines Day gifts for men, if you know what I mean. Of course, they're also seen as a health food as well.

25. For your Super Bowl party, why don’t you design the cupcake platter from one of your old playbooks?

I don't know about you, but I sort of wish that every football team recorded their plays like this. Seriously, it would be just all the more awesome.

26. I’m sure this stadium cake would satisfy Green Bay Packer fan.

I actually watched that 2011 game when the Packers won the Super Bowl against the Pittsburgh Steelers. At least I got to see Adrien Brody sing in that Stela Artois commercial. Now he is a very good looking guy, my friend.

Now he is a very good looking guy, my friend. Well, so what if he has a large nose? He’s way hotter than Channing Tatum, in my book anyway.

27. Of course, if you love seafood, here’s a football of crab spread.

Of course, this crab spread also has cheese on it, which doesn't make it kosher in some Jewish sects. This is especially true with the shellfish. Yet, if they live in Baltimore, I'm not sure that they care.

28. Welcome, to the Ham Sandwich Snackadium.

The stadium walls are made from ham sandwiches as I can recall. Yet, they seem to contain a lot of snack foods like Doritos, nachos, potato chips, and Ritz crackers. Still, contains lots of carbs.

29. Now this snakadium allows you to make your own sandwich as far as I can see.

Wow, seems like there's a lot of ways you can customize your sandwich in this stadium. Unfortunately, there's only one type of bread. Yet, I'd rather have something hot instead. I don't like hoagies for some reason. Seriously, I don't.

30. Since burgers are tailgating fare in football, why not have a football shaped burger?

I don't know about you, but I think it's pretty appropriate for a Super Bowl party. Of course, my dad would usually have some American cheese on his toasted bun.

31. Wet your appetite with these rice cake footballs.

I'm sure cheese was involved here as far as I could tell. Or do rice just brown that way? Then again, at least you can dip it in something.

32. Behold, the cheese pizza dedicated to Super Bowl XLVI in which the New England Patriots face off against the New York Giants.

Man, that's one amazing pizza. Still, I know quite well that the Giants won this one and Eli Manning got another MVP trophy, to his older brother Peyton's dismay.

33. For vegetarians and health nuts out there, here’s a veggie stadium platter for you.

A healthy options, Super Bowl party vegetable platter? What kind of NFL heresy is this? Seriously, football food needs to be at least bad enough to kill a man through heart disease.

34. Get your child to know the calls in football with these cupcakes.

Now some of the signs on here consist of, "False Start," "Delay Game,"  "Off-Side," "Pass Interference," "Face Mask," and "Horse Collar." Still, I'm surprised they don't have the call, "Unnecessary Roughness" on here.

35. For the Pittsburgh Steelers heading to the Super Bowl, here’s a dessert table befit for the City of Champions.

Now let's see here: Steeler jersey cookies, Black and Gold gobs, popcorn, Steeler cupcakes, Steeler cake pops, football cake, and beer. Too bad this was assembled in 2011, when they lost the Super Bowl to the Green Bay Packers.

36. No cheese ball is better for the Super Bowl party than a bacon and cheese ball for your crackers.

Of course, the bacon gives this cheese football its color after being ground up into tiny bits. Still, definitely not for people with high cholesterol.

37. Don’t forget to kick a field goal into these cupcakes.

Of course, I'm not sure about the yardage here. Then again, take two of these and you get a football field, albeit a very small one.

38. Now this snackadium is just epic, literally.

Now I know this one has been done quite some time ago since they have Twinkies and Ho Hos as parked cars in the lot outside. Hostess has been out of business since 2012 at least.

39. Celebrate the Super Bowl with this football cake on the grass.

Of course, the artificial turf on this cake looks more realistic than the turf on Cougar Mountain will ever be.

40. Of course, this snacktadium was made for a bar and grille.

I see this one contains beer as I see it and other dishes. Still, I wonder if that grass is real. Looks like it compared to what I've seen on Cougar Mountain, that is. Also contains helmets from almost all the NFL teams.

41. Grace your Super Bowl party platter with football fritters containing potato, bacon, and cheddar cheese.

Now I'm sure my dad will really love these. Yet, I know they'd be very bad for him. Contains lots of salt, seriously. Eat enough of them and you'll get a heart attack.

42. Nothing makes a Super Bowl than a football soft pretzel.

Of course, in Pittsburgh, we call this, "the Ben Roethlisberger Special." Did I spell his name right? Seriously, did I spell his name right?

43. For frozen treats, you can’t do wrong with these football ice cream sandwiches on sticks.

The great part of these is that how the plays are written on the sticks. Still, wish real football teams did this with their plays. Maybe they'll remember them better.

44. For all you winos out there, nothing makes a great Super Bowl party than a stadium cheese platter.

Of course, while the black olives are in position, the green olives seemed to have called a time out. Wonder if the green olives realize they're losing. Losing teams tend to do this near the end of games.

45. Nothing makes great artificial turf for your snackadium than celery.

Okay, I bet this is the low budget version of the Super Bowl veggie platter. And they have an almond to act as a football. For those who have limited cooking skills, you might want to try this.

46. When it comes to snackadium walls, you might want to go with sandwiches on one end and lunch meat and graham crackers on the other.

What my question about this stadium is: How the hell did they get the ham, graham crackers, and pastrami to stand up like that? Seriously, how did they do it?

47. I’m sure your party guests will delight in this one of a kind Super Bowl sundae.

And I guess this is with a sprinkles in a cone as well as chocolate chip mint ice cream. Can I have one, please? I'll take it. Seems like someone's about to score a touchdown.

48. Behold, I give you, the Super Bowl Taco Bowl.

Of course, while this item may be among the healthier dishes on this post, it may give you a case of gas by the 3rd quarter. I mean it's probably covered with refried beans for the other contents to stick to.

49. Nothing says a Super Bowl party than a team sized football burger.

Now I'm sure this was made by a restaurant. I mean burgers don't tend to be that big. Then again, this might be a close up image. Nevertheless, the top bun certainly looks like a real football.

50. For the kids, I’m sure these football cookies will do quite nicely.

I don't know about you but I really like these expressions on these football. I also love the use of sprinkles for the crowds on the football stadium ones, too.

51. Now these cheese potato skin footballs make a great side dish for your Super Bowl party.

Of course, I thought this was a scalped potato dish, wondering, how did they managed to get a dish shaped like that? Then I realized that was potato skin.

52. Score on the big game day with this football shaped veggie platter.

Have to love how the old pig skin is made from peppers, carrots, and cherry tomatoes. The turf is represented by the broccoli.

53. Nothing scores bigger on your Super Bowl dessert platter than these football cake pops.

Sure these might be covered in chocolate, but, hey, I'll take a bite out of one of them. Nevertheless, cute.

Now these brownies look so delicious that it's making me hungry. Seriously, I really love brownies and chocolate.

55. For your desserts during the half-time show, take a time out with this pull apart football cake.

Because if this doesn't distract you from looking at Katie Perry's boobs, I don't know what will. Still, love the icing, yet I wish the cupcakes were chocolate though.

56. I’m sure this football shaped tortilla sandwich will make a great Super Bowl entree during the game.

Of course this may be a seven layer dip with tortillas overlapping each topping. I'd proceed this dish with caution if I were you.

57. If Rice Krispie football treats aren’t your thing, perhaps go with a superized one.

However, though this might be the size of a real football, doesn't mean you should pass it around with your guests. Seriously, don't.

58. If you don’t want to give your guests coronaries, then perhaps cover your football cheese ball with nuts.

Of course, ingesting too much cheese may not be good for you. Then again, at least your Orthodox Jewish guest may be allowed to take part in this dish as well.

59. Nothing makes a Super Bowl party than an appetizer dish of sauteed mushrooms.

Sauteed mushroom dish? Seems more like something you'd serve for a Wimbledon party to me. And only rich folks attend those.

60. Nobody can do much wrong with these field cupcakes for their Super Bowl parties.

Warning: green icing may cause your guests to sport green lips, which are much more appropriate for Saint Patrick's Day.

61. Presenting the Super Bowl salad bowl.

And it looks like the salads in this arrangement is being served in tortilla bowls. Also, is that salad dressing or masking tape?

62. Score a touchdown at your Super Bowl party with these football bites.

Now these bites seem to contain, Ritz crackers, kielbasa slices, and cheddar cheese. And I guess the lines are drawn with salad dressing.

63. During the Super Bowl, the best way to eat fruit salad is via a watermelon helmet.

Fruit helmet? Hey, kid, football isn't the sport for queers (I'm just kidding on this, seriously). Also, that dish doesn't seem to fit the dietary guidelines for football food, which is supposed to be bad for the arteries.

64. Nothing makes a great Super Bowl party than a dish of refried dip shaped like a football.

Warning: May cause gas like in the iconic Blazing Saddles scene if this isn't seven layers. Then again, football is more of a men's sport anyway and Super Bowl Sunday more of a men's holiday.

65. Oh, when the Saints go marchin’ in. Oh, when the New Orleans Saints go marchin’ in….

Of course, after winning the Super Bowl in 2010, they became implicated in a high profile scandal in which the coach issued bounties on certain players for his crew to beat up. They haven't been as good since.

66. Of course, nothings honors the big day like a Super Bowl gingerbread stadium.

I don't think this display was made for eating. Nevertheless, it's going in the post anyway. Seriously, it's very good artistry.

67. Of course, when the Steelers are playing in the Super Bowl, you can’t do without a Terrible Towel cake.

Now the tradition of the Terrible Towel began with the Pittsburgh Steeler's announcer Myron Cope during the team's glory days in the 1970s. It's been a Pittsburgh Steeler tradition since then. Sadly, Myron died in 2008 but he'd always be remember as a local sports personality.

68. Show your support for the Green Bay Packers with this cheese head cake.

The main reason why the Green Bay Packers fans are called, "Cheese Heads" is because the team was originally founded and sponsored by a food packing company. Also, because of Wisconsin's association with dairy products.

69. Nothing makes a great Super Bowl party than a cake of the Vince Lombardi trophy.

I'm sure this cake is professionally made and that trophy is just a replica as far as I can see. Looks very well done though.

70. I now give you, Graham Cracker Snackadium.

Though the outside is graham crackers the inside tends to be aluminum foil, crackers, and guacamole. Still a great snack platter though.

Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours on Christmas Memories

Here's a picture of me with my sister and cousins at my grandparents' house during Christmas of 1994. Here I am pictured between my cousins Frank and John while my sister Molly is seated near my cousins Kerry Ann and Josh.

Here’s a picture of me with my sister and cousins at my grandparents’ house during Christmas of 1994. Here I am pictured between my cousins Frank and John while my sister Molly is seated near my cousins Kerry Ann and Josh. Thank God, my parents got rid of that big ugly couch.

Of course, my family gets a lot of photos from family and friends around this time of year. And I’m sure that Christmas is a time of year when people usually take pictures because they want to treasure the moment forever. These could range from pictures on a Christmas card to send to your relatives, pictures for the album, or others. However, while some pictures make nice keepsakes as well as great mementos you’d want to treasure forever, others make you want to scratch your head and ask, “What the hell were they thinking?” And while some tend to do pictures in the traditional style, others may opt for costume. Here are some photos from families who willing post these moments of Christmas awkwardness I found at a website called Awkward Family Photos. So without further adieu, I give you a treasury of family photographs that might depict moments more embarrassing than the ones your family has.

1. Nothing says Christmas than embarrassing your child in utero dressed up as a pregnant yuletide stripper.

I'm sure whenever this woman's child sees this picture, he or she's going blush in deep embarrassment and wonder what the hell she was thinking. Still, I don't think these kinds of photos are a great idea. An expectant mother has a whole life ahead of her to embarrass her child.

2. Looks like Dad has had a little accident while putting up the lights.

Okay, now I understand why my dad doesn't put up Christmas lights. Also, kids, can't you just help your daddy and hold up the ladder? I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

3. “….a fairy princess Barbie, an Easy Bake Oven, a My Little Pony Stable set, and let’s see….”

Looks like Santa Claus has stopped listening to that girl a long time ago. I mean he's basically dreaming of a white Christmas at this point.

4. Seems like Dad forgot to put on his pajamas for the Christmas morning photo.

"I didn't wear the pajamas because I don't sleep in pajamas. I sleep in my underwear like this." Of course, who'd want to send this picture in a Christmas card? Seriously, I'm sure nobody wants to see the dad's man boobs here.

5. I’m dreaming of a goth punk Christmas.

Santa Claus: "Great, now I have to pose in this photo with these metal fan kids and their kids. I need a vacation." Love Santa's expression in this.

6. Looks like somebody doesn’t want to smile for the camera.

Rebellious children, sometimes hating your parents gets started when they're young. Of course, I'm surprised it isn't the daughter in the kimono like dress that seems to be made from a shower curtain.

7. Hello, kiddies, and welcome to Santa Claus’ house of horrors.

Never has going to Santa land seem oh, so horrifying, but I'm sure the kid's not scared. Still, what the hell is the Easter Bunny doing here? Also, what's with the clown?

8. Greetings, and happy holidays from the future.

So I guess this is what the crew members from the Enterprise receive from their relatives around the Christmas season. I would think this one came from LaForge's family but he's black and probably not married.

9. Smile for the camera, boys, I’m sure your friends won’t laugh at you being in Christmas themed garbage bags.

Now while Jake is certainly reveling in the Christmas spirit with a bow on his head, I'm sure Tony is trying to disguise his embarrassment and hope nobody at school finds out.

10. Merry Christmas from the pajama brigade.

Now I wonder who's idea it was for everyone to be photographed wearing the same set of ugly pajamas. Not to mention, what the hell is the Timberland boots doing here?

11. Merry Christmas, from the Village of the Damned.

I'm sure the younger one is less than a year old but she seems to have murder on the mind. I'm not sure about the older boy though.

12. Merry Christmas from outer space.

This would be the perfect way to embarrass a NASA astronaut during the Christmas season. Also, what the hell do astronauts have to do with Christmas anyway?

This would be the perfect way to embarrass a NASA astronaut during the Christmas season. Also, what the hell do astronauts have to do with Christmas anyway? Then again, they probably thought it would be awesome but didn’t think it through.

13. Since they knew it was going to be Doris’ last Christmas, they decided to do the Last Supper.

Wait a minute, doesn't the Last Supper pertain to the moment of Jesus celebrating Passover right before he's about to be crucified? Seems more appropriate for Easter than Christmas.

14. This Christmas, we’ll do a live nativity scene.

Well, maybe not quite a family nativity scene but I'm sure they didn't have safari hats or bright blue robes in Palestine during the Roman Empire.

15. Merry Christmas, from your nightmares.

I'm sure the dripping paint from "Merry Christmas" doesn't seem to bring in the holiday cheer. Also, the mom seems to resemble Tim Curry's character from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

16. Don’t have antlers? I’m sure bunny ears will do just fine.

Actually, maybe this family should've stuck with reindeer antlers. Bunny ears either reminds me too much of Easter or Playboy.

17. Dad was always known to give every one of us a lift.

Yet, I sure hope the "lift" part was in the figurative sense. Still, how did this guy ever get a hold of such machinery?

18. Now this photo is so adorable.

Soon little Nellie will have her revenge once the adults leave the premises. Julie will pay for what she did to Nellie's poor baby doll. Oh, yes, she will.

19. “Sorry, Kitty, but these are my Christmas presents, not yours.”

Man, some kids just don't know how to share the spotlight. Then again, other kids must not care as much. Still, sibling rivalries do start out young, do they?

20. Merry Christmas from the Philip Morrises.

Now I'm sure this family isn't setting a great example. Of course, those kids will soon die young in the hospital with their lungs all full of tar.

21. Nothing says Christmas like a swimsuit portrait.

I especially feel bad for the boy who seems to have to wear a speedo. Man, I don’t know about you but swimsuits don’t seem to have anything to do with Christmas for me.

22. “A toilet seat, oh, you shouldn’t have.”

Nothing makes a grandfather feel old than getting a new toilet seat for Christmas. Still, pretty funny though.

23. “For this Festivus night, I challenge Carly for the Feats of Strength”

Boy, Carly is going to have a very hard time pinning her dad for this year's Festivus. Also, I'm sure this picture was taken way before 1997.

24. “Well, I thought the photo was a good idea at the time.”

Looks like somebody really doesn't want to get her picture taken. "Look away from the light, I tell you. Look away from the light." Still, family doesn't seem like an enthusiastic bunch.

25. You know you’re a redneck if you use a photo like this on your Christmas card.

Then again, I think many rednecks might find it very offensive if you really think about it. Still, you have to admire how this couple recycles beer packaging and cigarette cartons. Also, pregnancy is a great time to quit smoking, seriously.

26. For this years Christmas card photo, let’s dress up like a Christmas tree.

Seems like everyone here's in the Christmas spirit save Leslie in the lower left corner who thought this photo op was a stupid idea from the get go.

27. Seems like Susie couldn’t hold her excitement or her bladder.

Maybe she shouldn't have drank all that juice this morning. Now she has to change her blue jeans. Still, I wonder if anyone noticed.

Maybe she shouldn’t have drank all that juice this morning. Now she has to change her blue jeans. Still, I wonder if anyone noticed the little accident.

28. Seems like Santa has taken Bobby hostage and tied him up with Christmas lights.

I don't know why anyone would want to tie their kid up in Christmas lights for a photo. That's really messed up.

29. For the hairy, porn stached man on your list, I’m sure very short swimming trunks will do nicely.

Now I'm very sure that's from the 1970s because I think the chances of a man standing with pride in his short shorts nowadays would seem very unlikely today.

30. Little Sandy has her present while her daddy has lots of money.

In all fairness, this seems to be the kind of Christmas card you'd see from The Wire. Seriously, the man with the money seems to reflect a lot of negative African American stereotypes if you know what I mean.

31. Merry Christmas from the Old Navy family and buy these white shirts and jeans. They make great gifts.

For some reason, I can't help but wonder whether this family picture is from a commercial. Yet, they do seem like they could all be related.

32. If Adam and Eve had a Christmas card, then it would probably look like this. However, to be fair, they didn’t celebrate the holiday.

Now this is one of those Christmas photos that makes me scratch my head and wonder, "What the hell were these parents on to think that this was a good idea?" Also, the parents look as if they've just stepped out from a tanning salon.

33. Always try to make your family’s first Christmas photo a memorable one.

However, it seems like the photographer's focus in this picture isn't so much the baby as it pertains to Mommy's huge lactating milk sacks. Seriously, you have no idea that this is a family portrait until you see the baby's face being obscured in the parents' arms.

34. Merry Christmas from all of us.

I don't know about you but if I saw people popping out of my presents, I'd freak out. I'm sure they either used photoshop or a very big box.

35. “C’mon, Scotty, tell Santa what you want for Christmas.”

I'm sure little Scotty is afraid of Santa Claus and his older brother Billy is reveling in it as we speak.

36. When taking a picture of kids wearing “Ho!, Ho!, Ho!” shirts, make sure they stand close together.

I'm sure these parents weren't familiar with rap music to notice that the word, "ho" has another meaning. Still, seems that the youngest had other ideas.

37. Look, kids, seems like Santa crashed in at the Ferguson house for Christmas.

Okay, I think it's really just a homeless guy in a fur coat carrying a sack, not Santa. I mean Santa wears a read suit. Then again, the beard is pretty clean.

38. For the Christmas portrait, seems like Mom decided to wear her old outfit during her work as a dancer from the Kit Kat Club.

Well, Mommy had to pay through college somehow back in the day. Amazing her outfit still fits all these years. Nevertheless, not something you'd wear for a family Christmas picture.

Then again, from how that girl looks in the picture she could be either getting ready to cut down a Christmas tree or kill her family. I mean she seems a bit eerily terrifying in this.

40. Merry Christmas, from the Blanchards of Cirque du Soleil.

Because what other family would you expect to stack up their kids to pose as a Christmas tree? Yet, they seem to be very happy about it though.

41. “No, sir, I haven’t seen Travis anywhere. Honest to God, I didn’t.”

Don't look, now but I think something very bad went down in this room. Not to mention, there's an arm coming out from the box.

42. “C’mon, kids, grandma and grandpa’s here.”

Seems like the Dos Equis guy is traveling the world so much that he doesn't get to see his grandchildren very often. Also, I didn't know he had a wife. Hope she puts up with his peccadilloes since he's the Most Interesting Man in the World.

43. Merry Christmas from the jacuzzi.

Okay, so they may be on a Hawaiian vacation but still. I'm not sure if I think taking a Christmas card picture in a hot tub is a good idea.

44. “He’s a maniac, maniac, on the floor. And he’s dancing like he’s never dance before.”

Before Quentin Tarantino started directing very violent movies, he had wanted to become a dancer but his parents wouldn't allow it.

45. Nothing says Christmas than wearing a shirt depicting Santa’s facial hair.

I wonder who thought having shirts like that was a testament to fashion sense. Probably someone on drugs at the time.

46. Nothing gets in the Christmas spirit than a Christmas tree decked with disembodied doll heads.

Of course, this tree was decorated in that if Tanya did anything naughty, the doll heads would haunt her in her dreams. Really creepy stuff.

47. Like they say, the family that goes together, stays together.

Of course, there are some things families shouldn't do together like going to an outhouse. Still, pretty hysterical.

48. Sorry, kids, but looks like Santa’s been in a fight with his bookie.

I wonder if this mall ever does a background check on any prospective Santas. I'm not sure if this one belongs on the "Nice" list if you know what I mean.

49. “Mom, Dad, please no twerking in the photo! You’re embarrassing us!”

Now telling your kids not to twerk is one thing. Telling your parents not to twerk, well, there's no way they'll listen to you.

Now telling your kids not to twerk is one thing. Telling your parents not to twerk, well, there’s no way they’ll listen to you.

50. When it comes to taking pictures, placement is everything.

Now perhaps putting Dad near the gun display wasn't a good idea. Seriously, seems like some invisible person is about to shoot him in the head.

51. Nothing says Christmas like dressing up as Christmas presents for the card.

Now I'm sure wearing those gift boxes can't be comfortable. Also make them look pretty idiotic if you really think about it. Also, what's with the Mickey Mouse Santa hats?

52. Happy Holidays from the cool people in the neighborhood.

Or from the family who thinks they're too cool for the rest of the neighborhood with their fashion sense still stuck in the 1980s. I mean one of the boys in the back has a mullet.

53. Happy Holidays from the family with the world’s most embarrassing dad.

I bet that baby's thinking, "Jesus Christ, Dad, why the hell did you have to dress up as the New Year's baby? What are the kids in daycare going to think about this when they see this picture? I don't want to dwell on it."

54. “All right, light em’ up.”

Can anyone please explain to me how they thought dressing up as Christmas light bulbs was a good idea? Because they seem to be some kind of rendition of Fruit of the Loom characters.

55. Nothing says Christmas than a family photo in leopard print pajamas.

Now I'm sure the leopard print doesn't come from real fur. But still, such a family photo op is bound to make PETA furious.

56. Merry Christmas from both of us.

Also, I'm sure those two aren't wearing anything under the towel and that they'll make love under it after the photo shoot is over.

57. It was only a matter of time before Fran could tell the kids she once worked at Willy Wonka’s factory.

Then again, a more plausible explanation for her orangeness probably has to do with being John Boehner's sister. Yeah, that orange tan runs in the family. Must be a genetic disorder of some sort.

58. Nothing makes a great Christmas gift for your kids than an assault rifle.

Actually for the love of God, don't ever give your children guns for Christmas, let alone assault rifles. Still, these children seem like they're out to cause a neighborhood shooting spree.

59. This will be our first Christmas since Jimmy’s been released from the state penitentiary.

Now I'm sure he may be drug free now but boy do those tattoos tell you that he's done the time. Nevertheless, I think concealer would be a great Christmas present for him.

60. Tommy got a scooter while Jenny got a stuffed alligator in a stroller.

What Jenny really wanted was an alligator purse, not an actual gator in the stroller. You can see why she's very upset right now. Then again, the stuffed alligator might've been for one of the parents but it got mixed up.

61. Some people really don’t like to pose for Christmas cards.

I'm sure I sometimes feel that way, too when I have to stand for pictures, especially if they have to do another take.

62. I’m sure these old green table cloths would make great Christmas tree costumes.

I don't know about you but they could also seem like they're members of a cult in these outfits. Still, doesn't seem very flattering.

63. Merry Christmas from the toy soldier family.

Face it, folks, it was either this or the sugar plum fairies. And dad really didn't want to dress as a sugar plum fairy.

64. Rudolph rejoiced when he finally got the corndog plant he’d been begging Santa for.

Now the Christmas lights expectant mother was one thing but this? How in the hell did anyone think it was a good idea? Hope that baby never sees this picture.

65. Let’s see, Dad has the pipe and hat, Mom’s got the coat, Ginny has her dolly, while Randy has a canteen and a snow brush.

Holy shit, that's Stephen King with his family. Certainly explains a lot there. Nevertheless, hope he's not writing The Shining at this point.

66. Oh, sure, that’s exactly what Grandma wanted.

I'm not sure if Grandma knows what Taebo is or if anyone at the high rise does either. Still, she probably never took it out of the packaging.

67. Looks like somebody didn’t get what she asked for this year.

Some girls just want to rub it in on Santa. Man, this girl must not like the new cleaning trolley Santa sent her this year. Then again, would anyone?

68. Sure Baby Bella’s about to celebrate her first Christmas, but she’s already sick with sitting for pictures already.

"Okay, so after you're done taking pictures of me on the rocking horse, can we be done here? Also, I just pooped in my diaper."

“Okay, so after you’re done taking pictures of me on the rocking horse, can we be done here? Also, I just pooped in my diaper.”

69. Merry Christmas to all from the Bob Evans family.

Sure their clothes may seem like they're made from the table cloths you'd find at Bob Evans. Yet, they really don't seem to be down on the farm so to speak.

70. “Hey, kids, can you leave for a second, cause Daddy needs a smoke.”

Let' hope he doesn't burn down the tree like Uncle Lewis did in Christmas Vacation, which led to that iconic squirrel scene.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen on These Christmas Treats

christmas_table_decoration

So far I’ve basically made fun of Christmas with horrible vintage ads, inflatables designers didn’t think through, sketchy Santas, and elves on the shelf doing very naughty things. However, this post be a hiatus from all the kitsch I featured so far for this treat article since I did a couple similar ones with Thanksgiving and Halloween (latter out of my mom’s suggestion and former just out of simply plain boredom that I couldn’t do much else). Still, as you know, like Thanksgiving, Christmas is a very big holiday for food, especially when it comes to candy and desserts. So much so that in fact, a lot of New Year’s resolutions are devoted to losing weight and January advertising features a lot of fitness stuff. Still, a lot Christmas dinner scenes are just loaded with food of almost every type imaginable that starting a diet on this time of year is impossible often brought by relatives charged with bringing something. Yet, sometimes it’s hard for people to bring a Christmas dish especially if their item wasn’t specified (though it usually is). However, we do have many items featured on the Christmas table like figgy pudding, candy canes, gingerbread cookies, and eggnog. Nevertheless, for those who want to be creative, here are plenty of dishes you may find to your liking whether it be for appetizers, salads, or desserts. So without further adieu, here are some great treats for those who want to put the festive spirit in this Christmas season.

1. For a great stocking stuffer, I’m sure a candy cane Rudolph would suit your fancy.

I'm sure reindeer don't have red and white striped antlers. But still, very easy to make and I'm sure the kids will love it.

2. For your veggie platter why don’t go with broccoli Christmas tree decorated with peppers and cherry tomatoes?

Now I'm sure if you also include celery and carrots, I don't think this design will work out for you. Still, very easy to make since it only requires 3 ingredients.

3. Start Christmas morning out with a Christmas tree made out of sticky buns.

I know that cinnamon rolls aren't that good for you but what the hell, give yourself a break for the holidays. Hey, I'll take one.

4. Instead of making conventional Christmas cookies, perhaps consider making cookies of ugly sweaters.

This goes particularly well if you have to go to an ugly sweater party. Still, I wonder who sells sweater cookie cutters?

5. For dessert, take a bite out of these Christmas tree cupcakes.

Don't worry, health nuts, those Christmas trees are actually strawberrys covered with a lot of icing. So these aren't totally bad for you.

6. Take a bite out of this Christmas cornflake wreath.

 Okay, so maybe cornflakes don't do well against green dye. Yet, they do bring a leafy feel to it.

7. Get in the festive Christmas spirit with these ornament cake balls.

Now the most complicated thing about this is making the cake batter and balls. You can just add the Reese cups and Twizzlers later.

8. For lunch, perhaps a Christmas wreath candle cheese pizza is one that Wallace and Gromit would love.

Boy, this pizza uses a lot of cheese. Yet, I wouldn't recommend this for the lactose intolerant or those with high cholesterol.

9. With pretzels, white chocolate, and Twizzlers, you can make your own Christmas wreath snacks.

Seems like white chocolate and Twizzlers can hold almost anything together. However, I wouldn't recommend pretzel wreaths as a stuffing stuffer. They may be too delicate.

10. Bring a little cuteness into your life with these penguin Oreos.

Maybe penguins have nothing to do with Christmas, but hey, I'll eat one of these. Also, who can't resist penguins?

11. For a healthy snack for the kids, I’m sure these bread creations of Frosty, Santa, and Rudolph.

Of course, while Santa and Rudolph's noses are from cherry tomatoes, Frosty's eyes and mouth are made from blueberries and his body is made from strawberries. Santa might also have a strawberry hat while Rudolph has kielbasa antlers.

12. For lunch, you might want to grab some of this Christmas tree veggie pizza.

This is made from either bread or pizza dough spread over with cream cheese as well as topped with carrots, cherry tomatoes, yellow peppers, and broccoli. Still, it's a healthier option than the cheese candle wreath one. Yet, won't satisfy vegans.

13. Fruit lovers would love this candy cane made from strawberries and bananas.

Of course, if you want the peppermint freshness of the candy cane, this treat isn't for you.

15. For winter fun, consider making Christmas cookies of ice skates with mini candy canes on them.

Hey, I'm still going to post cookies on here. Yet, you have to appreciate the creative aptitude on this person's part.

16. Broccoli and cherry tomatoes are all this Christmas wreath veggie platter needs.

While this is the best food Christmas wreath by far, this doesn't exhibit a lot of vegetable variety. Also, the center lacks dip.

17. Grace your Christmas party appetizers with this Christmas tree cheese platter.

Of course, this platter shows about 4 kinds of cheese and cherry tomatoes. Still, has a lot of color to it if you know what I mean.

If you love Christmas like I do and have a taste in fresh baked Danishes, than this cake is for you. Seriously, it looks like a giant candy cane sticky bun.

19. Nothing makes a better dessert for Christmas than this wreath of chocolate fudge.

If this dish was featured at my family's Christmas celebration, I would have a very hard time controlling how much I got. Boy, talk about death by chocolate, indeed.

20. Wow your Christmas dessert table with this jelly bean covered cupcake Christmas wreath.

I'm no fan of jelly beans but I have to admit, they do make good edible food decorations. But their taste is another matter.

21. Bring the joys of winter into your life with these flower covered snowmen.

Of course, these snowmen almost look real except that they're made from dough. Yet, I'm sure you can't really eat the arms though or else have your cheeks pierced.

22. Now these Santa crackers sure make a great snack idea.

Now I'm sure these are from Ritz crackers that contain cream cheese from a tube, celery, black olive bits, and pepperoni. Still, they are quite cute if you know what I mean.

25. Make your kids’ Christmas special with these olive and cheese penguins with cherry tomato hats.

27. As snowman melt with rising temperatures, these melting snowmen cookies will melt in your mouth.

Have to hand it to the person who thought of this. I mean I've never seemed these kind of cookies before. Yet, I don't understand while some of them are smiling despite melting their way out of existence.

28. Grace your appetizer table with this Frosty the Snowman cheese ball or balls.

Seems like you can also do a lot with cream cheese as well over the holidays. Still, I'm sure he'll have a lot of Ritz crackers dipped into him by the end of the night.

29. If you don’t like the ornament cupcakes, may I suggest ornament popcorn balls with candy cane hooks?

Now I also like how Christmas M&M's are used to decorate these as well. Yet, I'm sure chocolate haters won't like these either.

30. Deck the halls with these Christmas tree brownies.

Now these make a wonderful edition to any Christmas dessert platter. Still, no two of these brownies are alike if you know what I mean. Also, I would have a hard time resisting these treats as well.

31. Nothing makes a great lunch than this Christmas tree pizza.

Of course, this person forgot to use pesto as a sauce. Then again, there's a specific process to making pesto. Yet, still very ornate.

32. I’m sure these Rice Krispie wreaths will bring joy to any child on Christmas.

You won't believe how many stuff I've seen made from marshmallows and Rice Krispies. These are among the very best, especially since they're dye green.

38. Now sandwiches are easy to serve this Christmas with this sandwich wreath.

Now this wreath can use some more parsley. Actually a lot more parsley. Yet, you need to see the sandwiches which I think are basically made from melted cheese and whole wheat bread.

40. Nothing graces the Christmas table than a yule log cake.

This cake is from a restaurant. Still, seems like Santa is making his rounds in California's Redwood Forest.

41. This fruitcake brownie is sure better than the real thing.

45. Have hotdogs? Then make these hotdog stockings on a stick.

Now these are probably made from mini hotdogs. I'm sure regular ones would be cut in smaller sections.

54. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a Christmas tree of spiced buns you can dip in tomato sauce.

Now I'm sure these buns taste really good. If I came across them, then I don't know if I could resist overindulging myself.

55. Serve your kids a healthy Christmas lunch with this Rudolph Sandwich.

Now this is quite clever with the strawberry nose, the pretzel ears, and the pea pod evergreen tree. Yet, I don't think kids should take this kind of lunch to school. Might ruin the effect.

56. For party favors, I’m sure you can’t do anything wrong with these Santa and Christmas tree pretzel sticks.

Now I don't know about you but doesn't Santa seem a bit skinny on a pretzel stick. Then again, to each his own.

57. Don’t have Santa cookie cutters? Maybe you should improvise with a heart shape instead.

Maybe a bit of an unconventional choice but seems to work as long as you have the hearts face backwards. Also, quite adorable.

58. Make your Christmas ugly sweater party memorable with this ugly sweater cake.

Now this is a particularly amusing cake with the wreath, ugly sweater, and lights in all. Still, really goes well with the ugly sweater cookies.

59. I’m sure everyone would think these polar bear treats as adorable.

You especially have to like their little fruit roll up scarves. Still, even if real polar bears are slowly becoming casualties of global warming (it's real, it's caused by humans, and it's a great concern) and that they resemble koalas, they're still irresistibly adorable.

60. Nothing graces your table set like these gingerbread Christmas trees.

Now I wonder if these trees were meant to eat or are just used for decoration. Either way, they seem delicious.

61. Reindeer cheese treats sure make healthy snacks for kids.

They also make great snacks for adults since cheese tends to go very well with wine and olives. Yet, beer goes better with pretzels, especially in October.

62. Nothing says Christmas like these adorable sugar coated snowmen on a stick.

Of course, while sugar gives these snowman sparkles, this doesn't mean it's necessarily good for you. And those dots may be stickers.

63. For health conscious folks, I give you these fruity Santa poppers.

Like the fruit candy canes, these poppers are also made of strawberries and bananas. Yet, unlike the fruit candy canes, they also have marshmallows.

Of course, we have a lovely one of Santa and one of the gingerbread man. Also, the holly one really goes well.

65. A Christmas tree made out of sushi? Now I’ve seen everything.

Of course, this tree is for Japanese people with more traditional or health conscious diets. Seriously, they celebrate Christmas in Japan with KFC which is, well, basically heart disease on a plate.

66. Get into the spirit of Christmas with these Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer donuts.

Of course, these reindeer donuts would really make great Christmas gifts for your friendly neighborhood police officer.

67. Now Santa really seems to be stuck in the chimney with this cake.

Seems that Santa should've went on a diet before he decided to go down the chimney. Do you know what they used to put up in chimneys in the early 1800s, naked school aged boys.

68. Nothing encapsulates Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, than this large cake.

Of course, this is the scene when the Grinch tries to dump the stuff at Mount Crumpitt and suddenly sees the Whos down in Whoville all singing.

69. Make your own reindeer antlers from M&Ms, chocolate, and pretzel sticks.

This is perhaps the only picture in which all the ingredients are show. Still, quite easy to make, once you heat up the Dove chocolate.

70. Nothing says Merry Christmas than these Rice Krispy gingerbread candy houses.

They're just like regular gingerbread houses with the exception of being made from Rice Krispies, not gingerbread. Still, really adorable if you know what I mean.

71. Tis the season for these Christmas tree cake poppers.

Now these may be made from cake but they certainly look a lot like little Christmas trees. But I bet they taste pretty good.

72. Nothing celebrates the season with these iced snowman cookie poppers.

How likely is it that those cookies under the icing are all Oreos? The answer is obvious. Still, they actually have snowman faces.

73. These Santa hat cake poppers certainly fit well in a box together.

I've seen a lot of these on the Internet. Still, much easier than Christmas tree poppers and much more popular, too.

74. I’m sure that your kids will fall in love with these reindeer poppers, especially Rudolph.

Odd, seems like these pops appear to be made for Santa's sleigh team. Yet, I guess Rudolph is certainly the obvious one as well as the one the kids want the most.

75. You’ve heard of Christmas trees and Christmas cookies. So how about a Christmas cookie tree?

I'm sure that this will be the centerpiece of the dessert platter. And I also love how the cookies are have green sugar and icing on them.

76. Celebrate the Christmas season with this cupcake Christmas tree.

I see a lot of people with green lips from all the green icing once everyone is done eating from it. Still, I totally love it though I wish the cupcakes were chocolate though.

77. For your Christmas party appetizers, I’m sure a cheese ball of a snowman wearing a wreath is for you.

I don't know about you, but this snowman seems to remind me of a Roman emperor. Maybe it's the wreath.

78. Remember, for Christmas, you can use cookie cutters for your pizza dough.

Now these are Christmas mini pizzas with peppers and tomato. However, I wish I had one with pepperoni. Don't care what shape it's in.

Just make sure that none of your child guests has a peanut allergy because this treat is made from Reese's cups.

80. Nothing celebrates the season like these Christmas wreath pops.

I don't know about you but I think these wreaths aren't made from cake. Rather I think they're made from small donuts, if they came as that tiny.
