See, I like you. I really do. Your icing? Awesome. Your cheesecake pies? Beyond nummy. And every time I cruise your aisles at my local store there's nary a wreck to be found.
UNTIL NOW.
Exhibit A: A few weeks ago, I received a picture of your new "Cinnamon Candy Creme Cake":
AKA, "The Sticky Pustule Bundt of DOOOOM!Now with more Herpes!"
Now don't get me wrong, PB. (Can I call you PB? 'Cuz I'm gonna call you PB.) Every bakery has an off day. But then I got a few more of these Pustule Poppin' pastries, and I started wondering: is this going to be a "thing?"
A nasty, nasty "thing?"
Just to be sure, I went to my local Publix - my own flesh and blood, so to speak - and imagine my horror, PB, when I found this on the featured end cap:
NooOOoooOOoo!
So here's what I propose, PB: You stop making the polyp'ed wonder here, and I'll stop thinking how much it reminds me of my dermatologist's office posters.
Deal?
Thanks to Marlissa D. and Amanda G. for reminding to wear sunscreen today. And to always use protection. And to maybe have a salad for lunch.

P.S. Never in my wildest fever dreams would I think my goofy little cake blog would educate me this thoroughly on "pimple patches." Have y'all heard of these?
I thought these were basically camouflage stickers, ha, but apparently they're much better than that. Click on the customer photos at your own risk, but dang, fascinating stuff!

Finished Grimoire of Zero which stars a very cute little witch in it. It was an enjoyable 12 episode watch.
Trying to finish Season 7 of My Hero Academia which I just started. I see there's the spinoff "Vigilantes" after it. Might try it out.
Another series I started watching after reading a Manga volume of it is Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka, which is just sheer fanservice with skimpy outfits and a magnitude of bloodiness.
How can Anime girls with such humongous bust size able to be that acrobatic? 🤔
Also trying to finish any other series I started years go in hopes to fill up my Lists I got online. If I can scratch that off my bucket list then at least I've accomplished something in my life.
By the way, had also watched an Anime OAV called Elf 17 which is floating around on youtube. I recommend it.
Patlabor is still one of my top favorites comfort Anime that I have enjoyed
I didn't get any writing done. (whether life was hectic, taking a break, or writer's block)
I thought about writing this week.
Discussion: What writing program/material is your go to when writing fanfiction? It could be for your first draft, jotting down ideas and plot points, or the final version of your fanfic; doesn't matter as long as it was written down.

I promise I *did* look for Sweets from some of Henson's other work - the Dark Crystal, Fraggle Rock, and my personal favorite, Labyrinth - but all I found worth mentioning (and that I haven't posted before) was this doorknocker from Labyrinth:
Yes, it's really cake! I actually have the matching set of Labyrinth knockers on the closet doors in my office (photo here) so I was especially smitten to see one rendered so well in cake.
So getting back to the Muppets, here are two more of my favorites (and who I'd also love to have on my desk):
Beaker and Dr. Honeydew! The baker calls this a "baby shower cake for a mom-to-be who is more into science than babies." (Note the H2O molecule on the border.) Brilliant!
And finally, since I don't have a cake version of him for you, here's the Swedish Chef demonstrating the proper use of the "cäkenschmööscher."
It's time to sign up for the July WIP challenge!

For those of you who find the commitment of signing up useful, please leave a comment with the below information.
Sign-ups will be open until the end of July.
Level of challenge: 1 chapter, 1000 words, 1 fic finished, whatever you like Fandom(s) involved: if you know at this point What you're looking for from the challenge: this could be as vague or specific as you like: someone to be accountable to, someone to remind you to write, someone to bounce ideas off, etc. What you could offer other participants yourself: ditto! How people should contact you: DW message, e-mail, IM etc. Time zone: useful for seeing who might be up for a writing session at a time convenient to you
Copypaste below:
The post for hosting the daily check-in is here and thanks to everyone who helps out with this. If you're interested in helping out and there are still slots available the post remains open until the last week of the month and we generally run our week Sunday to Saturday, I'm happy to chat via PM on DW for anyone who might need it.
If you have ever completed a fic through this challenge we have a collection on AO3 and on SquidgeWorld both collections are open and unmoderated. Should there be an issue with adding a work, let me know and I'll see if there's a fix for it.
