Shame no special edition that has "one tree planted for each sold" deal.

You know if this were a lion king cake, I would totally go there. Though that would be one odd blue cake. It'd be like the lion king on acid.

Is this going to be a whole "Free Burger King plastic toy in a small plastic bag with the purchase of a Kid's Meal promo tie-in to the movie 'Wall-E' seems contrary to the spirit of the movie" thing all over again??

I read "Avatart" and was looking forward to commentary on some Na'vi themed porn. I am saddened and disappointed.

@11 I was thinking it'd be more like those little sparkle jellyfish things that floated off the tree, but smaller...

I haven't seen it yet. The movie, not the cake. I plan on buying it today. The movie, not the cake. Then I plan on watching it on my new T.V. The movie, not the cake. I'm going to buy it now. The cake, not the movie.

"Avatart" is also this week's Lusty Lady marquee.

@ 19 - Please tell me there aren't Na'vi fetish websites already up and running.

...What am I saying. Of course there are.

How certain are you that they use Crisco?
stinkbug on April 26, 2010 at 9:36 AM Report this

@23 fairly certain. It's really stable and has a long shelf life.
Oh, the horror...

Cake is shit. Sheet cake is the worst. God, how I hate cake.

I saw someone buying one of those cakes for a friend's birthday. The blue is much more alarming in real life...

I'm not really sure what the appeal of store-bought baked goods is. I generally just make my own cakes, cookies, etc.

Nothing says, "I love you," like a mass-produced cake filled with weird chemicals, right?

Man, fnarf, sometimes I feel terrible for you. No wonder you can be so cranky.

We have those here too at King Soopers. Must be a Kroger thing. They sold all of 'em on Friday. And yeah, it's a lot blue-er in person.

I'm pretty sure that cake is not suppose to fluoresce.

@28, I'm cranky because I haven't had any PIE. Fuck cake, I want pie for my pie hole. Strawberry rhubarb, if you've got it.

@32 What did cake ever do to you? Did cake beat you up as a child or something? I can understand preferring one desert option over another. But how can you HATE cake?

@28- I'll see if my mom can whip you up a strawberry/rhubarb. She makes the best pies in the world. Ditto on the cake v pie opinion, but I've had the best pies in the world all my life, so.....

Oops- I meant @32. No mom-pie for anybody but Fnarf.

@ 32, as it happens, I'm growing rhubarb and strawberries this year. (The rhubarb was unintentional - it just started growing there last year, courtesy of my neighbor's crop.) Come to Denver around Labor Day and you'll help yourself to the freshest strawberry-rhubarb pie you ever had.

Oh yeah, Fnarf buddy, you live in the city that Simply Dessert calls home. Hating their cake is a symptom of a serious ailment. See your doctor if their Mexican chocolate cake isn't to your liking.

Just remember fnarf, that in the best pies, (fruit tarts) the crust is made with CRISCO. And the filling has red dye #5 unless you make it yourself. And then it is dull and greenish. Well, Dan, you have to come out as a a store-boughten man. Good for you!

@ 35: I'll bet "mom-pie" is absolutely delicious. (I'm so sorry I wrote that.)
