Leslie Eat World

by Leslie

Julia’s school recently had one of those crazy fundraisers where they sell random stuff like wrapping paper, chocolate covered pecans and light-up Santa toilet seat covers. And since you’re pretty much a jerk who hates education if you don’t buy something, I ordered a sphere cake pan for $100,000. Or maybe $16. It arrived yesterday and since we like to get a little wild on the weekends, we decided to spend our Saturday night whipping up an edible orb. Check out our Earth cake.

Earth Cake

I realize the land placement is a bit off, but I’m not Magellen. And in Julia’s words, “I’ll tell ya where Australia goes: in my belly!” I suggested she go for Asia because it’s bigger. She told me she’s only five and couldn’t possibly eat Asia. “Geez, Mom!”

We talked about making all the planets for a Far Out Party.

Or a disco ball for a Disco Party.

I could make a set of boobs for a bachelor party. Or a Sunday.

The possbilities are as limited as our imaginations. What kind of cake would you make with a sphere pan?

You know, this cake pan totally reminds me of a lovingly crafted set of boobs made out of jello from a dear friend’s mother to me, during my recouperation from my breast reduction surgery… It was a sweet boob mold! Thanks for helping me rekindle the fond memories!

And that sentance of mine up there was a serious run-on!

Most of my sentences are run-ons. Or fragments.

Jello boobs! Perfect for breast reduction recouperation. Or maybe a breastfeeding support group meeting? I like to do stuff according to a theme.

Thanks for stopping by my place!

Yeah, yum! I need to quit making this stuff, though. I’m going to gain all my weight back. Damn baked goods!

Saturn would be hard, but the rings have sooo much potential.

Julia suggested that we suspend the cake planets from the ceiling and let everyone just take bites out of them.

The whole idea is kind of crazy. I only have one size sphere.

Awesome. It looks yum. I would make my husband’s head. Not that he has a totally round basketballish head or anything. Hardly at all.

Ha ha ha! My husband’s head is more oblong. Kind of like Bert of Bert & Ernie.

I ate Asia. And Europe. Also Antartica. I ate half the planet! I felt like it, too. Oomph.

I wouldn’t make anything because I have no heart and I refuse to buy from those fundraisers. I’m such a jerk, but DUUUUDE. They are so overpriced. If they just came and asked me for cash I’d say yes. Don’t make me buy your crap.

But, this wasn’t about that, was it? So, I guess I’d make boobs. Because boobs are the perfect dessert! Or so says my husband.
