9 Cakes To Cure That Hangover
January 1, 2014 GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE!!
Now, I know some of you may have overdone it a bit last night, but don't you worry; Auntie Jen is here to help. With her accordion. And her strobe lights.
First things first, though: let's get you a niiiice, stomach-settling breakfast:
;)
[singing] Jen is GREAT! She gives you chocolate CAKE!
What, not hungry yet? Oh, but you have to eat something! How 'bout this?
;)
Bet you can really sink your teeth into that, right? Haha!
Still no?
Ooh, I know just the thing to get the ol' juices flowing:
;)
Hand me that scalpel, and I'll get ya a middle slice.
No?
Gosh, you sure are a picky eater.
Well, I'm determined to find you SOMETHING. How 'bout some world-famous squid corn?
;)
Ducky's Sticky Ball Surprise?
;)
Log Dump?
;)
I don't actually know what this next one is...
;)
[squinting] ... but it appears to be bleeding.
Huh.
Whoa there, you're not looking so good, my friend! Maybe a little fresh fruit would help.
***
Ok, so I don't have any fresh fruit. But I think these might be pear slices:
;)
Better?
What's that, you say? You want me to "cut it out?"
Well, if you insist...
;)
Thanks to Kim P., Haines B., Jill S., Laura O., Tristem L., Jo, John A., Theresa S., & Adeline H. for putting her best foot forward for the New Year.

The roach cake looks like something from the David Cronenburg movie "Naked Lunch."
Oh heck that last one reminds me of Saw lol. I knew the wreckerators had something special for New Years. Yikes.
I think that should have been "WTF" on Sticky Ball Surprise instead of "WTO(?)".
Am i the only person to read the inscription on the "beach volcano" cake as "To life time therapy" ??
I am going to need a lifetime of therapy after today's post...
Cosby reference FTW! "DAD MADE US EAT THIS!" I'd love to see a cake of the conniption now.
I'm not sure I want to know the story behind Dr. F's revenge.
Oh. UGH. And 2 thumbs up, Sharyn...
The one that you don't know what it is? I'm pretty sure that's a depiction of the Chernobyl "Elephant's Foot." And I'm also pretty sure it's equally as deadly in close quarters. http://nautil.us/blog/chernobyls-hot-mess-the-elephants-foot-is-still-lethal
I know it looks pretty disgusting, but I actually know the story behind that roach cake. Believe it or not, it's a traditional Japanese "Christmas" Cake. In Japan, Christmas is celebrated by eating vanilla cake with vanilla frosting/fondant. These are generally garnished with candied beetles or roaches, and although it's disgusting to us Westerners, they consider it a delicacy and a dessert.
This is not the first time I've seen Japanese bakers take it a step further and shape the entire cake into a bug. It's always weird. And it never seems Christmas-y to me, but then I'm not Japanese.
(Generally, they at least put frosting holly sprigs on the cakes too, so you know they're for Christmas. This one doesn't have any of that, so possibly it's just a regular cake.)
Although I wonder who in their right mind would ever want a cake like that [roach]?
Perhaps an exterminator?Dale Gribble. Everyone's favorite fictional exterminator. :)I can't figure out the strawberry turds. I get that the strawberries themselves are partially dipped in chocolate... but how does that pertain to turds? I just can't get the picture out of my mind.
Oh, and Sharyn made my day with the song. Thanks for that.
Oh yeah. Cake #1 was successful in making me lose my appetite. <shudders>
Wowee...oh well, I have rum cake made with my leftover New Year's rum to really make this all better.
Wow, thanks SO MUCH, Jen & Co. Here, howdja like a nice, greeeeeasy pork sandwich, served in a dirty ashtray?
("He pukes, YOU DIE.")
Your Pal,

I think the inscription for the volcano cake reads "To a lifetime of happiness", but therapy seems more likely after receiving that!
The tooth cake reminded me of when I was younger and adults used to tell kids not to eat too much sugar as it would give us worms.
I think I figured out what the mysterious cake is SUPPOSED to be. I think it's an ocean (the questionable blue stuff) with a sandy beach (the questionable yellow stuff) and a jungle (the questionable green stuff) and a volcano (the bleeding stump). At least that's what it looks like when you stare at it with your eyes crossed...
When I was a kid, I often listened to my parents' Bill Cosby records. Thanks for the reference to the chocolate cake bit! Ahhh, memories.
I think that the 7th cake (the one you didn't know what it was, but you thought it was bleeding) is supposed to be Hawaii. The yellow smears are the beach, and the blue/white ones are water? The bleeding thing is a volcano, and that greenish mess is palm trees. Do you see it now?
