Forget New York and their Waterford Crystal Ball for ringing in the New Year. I’ve found something better!
Bethlehem, PA lowers a giant Peep to start the New Year! I just adore Peeps of any shape but there is something about the classic Peep shape that is so cool. (And I love it when a box magically appears on my desk at work too. Thanks Dad!) Making it out there next year might just be in my plans.
This site is supposed to be about “good” stuff so don’t let the name of this site throw you off. Fail Blog has some of the funniest “oopses” I have seen, both in video and photos.
It is updated several times a day and I get an update emailed to me every morning, when I’m usually in need of a good laugh to get me going. On thieir site there are filters to keep things G-Rated (or safe for work) or just videos.
Part of my kitchen storage is dedicated to my baking supplies. Making cakes, the bigger the better, is something I love to do. I love looking at other people’s work as well. I watch the Food Network’s shows on the cake competitions and have found some great baking sites on the Internet.
I found this site a few weeks ago. I can’t even really remember how I found it but I have become a disciple of the site ever since.
Every day we are treated with some of the worst decorated cakes ever. The witty commentary with each picture makes it even better. Jen, the woman behind the blog, offers daily posts with cakes that you’re glad that you didn’t buy.
The cakes featured, with VERY few exceptions, are all professionally made. They range from the grocery story or Cosco kinds of cakes all the way up to professional bakery cakes. One some of the truly “wrecktastic” one, she tries to get as much story behind it or even a photo of the “inspiration” cake.
Since finding the site, I have looked at the cakes in the case at grocery stores and bakery windows much differently now, hoping to find one worth trying to take a picture of without getting caught by store security (or worse, the cake decorator who made the offending cake). The funny thing is, I have seen some of the cakes that have shown up at Cake Wrecks at my grocery store and had to laugh that I either found the same cake or that someone back at the home office thought these would be big sellers. I can’t wait to have my first Wreck sighting!
These are the cutest cupcakes that I have seen in a long while. I found them via Craft magazine’s site and can’t wait to do this for the kids’ school parties. (We’re lucky that they still allow holiday parties at their schools.)
Cherrapeno created these cupcakes that I can’t wait to try out. I’m not sure if its the cute factor or the idea of melted snowmen make me think of Calvin and Hobbs and all their crazy snowmen they would make that makes me want to make a batch of them.
After looking at her directions on how to create the snowmen, I would think they are pretty easy as they are just a few balls of rolled icing (fondant) and poured icing. The recipe for the cake part also sounds yummy but might get lost on the pre-school group (and probably the 3rd graders too).
It seems like if you are a fan of Star Trek, you’re either a TOS (The Original Series) or a TNG (The Next Generation) fan. Sure there are fans of the other spin off shows but those are the main two.
I like all the Star Trek shows and movies but TNG is my personal favorite. I wanted to live on the Enterprise. I don’t know if it was the holodeck or the replicators or what, but life on the Enterprise was never boring and it would have been so cool to be there.
So in honor of my favorite Star Trek series and my favorite captain, I offer this amazing video. Enjoy!
I might be a bit behind the ball on this one, but even over a week later it is still making me giggle.
At the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, the Cartoon Network had this float with preformance that was the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time. So, as you finish up the last of the turkey leftovers, enjoy this little video.
