Breaking Cat News by Georgia Dunn for March 24, 2019

Love Beatrix stealthily moving her way into the frosting bowl.♥

Always look on the bright side when things don’t go your way!

Obviously Beatrix likes it. Oh that sweet little tail!

Beatrix! Get out of that bowl RIGHT NOW!!!

Cake = grief? Never!

The little one sure is a chow hound (no offence intended with the use of the term ‘hound’).

Look how reassuring and supportive Pucky is being throughout! Those little paws…nothing is as validating as a cat setting their paw on you.

As an absolutely terrible baker, I sympathize with this. I can ruin brownie mix from a box. It’s an anti-talent. I love “YOU WILL BE A CAKE!”, and feel like this might be from life. I understand the suffering!

My mother could bake cakes, wonderful cakes. I’m content to eat them.

There is no such thing as a worst cake in the world. CAKE starts at ‘darn good’ and goes up from there.

I love the changing expression on the cake! Hahaha

There’s always a solution to every problem. Just be positive.

If “it tastes like cake”, it is cake! :-) (When Pete Townshend wasn’t sure whether “Tommy” was acceptable for The Who, Keith Moon said “It sounds like rock and roll to me” and that was all he needed.)

Beatrix suger rush…… watch out ,boys!!

The Woman’s attempts at fancy patisserie are obviously d

Love the cake’s expressions from beginning to yummy end.

Where’s the ice cream? Can’t have ‘it tastes like cake’ without ice cream.

Was the Woman trying to build the Tower of Babel using cake and frosting?

I feel like a klutz baker. I can make Irish Soda bread, and though it looks ugly, it tastes good. But forget about anything that must be pretty. My wife is an excellent baker, her greatest challenge is the chocolate checkerboard cake that my daughter requests for her birthday every year. This cake appears to require a great deal of foul language, even through the closed kitchen door. Of course it always turns out fabulous.

I love Pucky hugging the Woman, sympathizing with her for the cake disaster.

I love how Pucky and The Man are so supportive of The Woman’s efforts!

Well, the kitten isn’t complaining.

My mother used to make a wonderful lemon cake. She would make it in a tube pan, but for some reason it would have a hollow space in the middle of the ring. That is, when the cake was sliced, there was a hole in each slice. Whatever caused it ceased eventually, but it was a puzzling mystery. Still, a great cake. Then again, most of her cakes were…except her fruitcake. It was, well, pretty bad.

6. Cleaning the Kitten in the cake bowl.

Ha ha ha ! That poor cake! The last cake expression, reminds me of Mr. Bill (From Saturday Night Live) It looks like it’s saying,“OH NOOOOOOOOO!!”

Denial stage cake in panel four looks straight out of “Nailed It.”

Beatrix is going to look adorable with pink frosted whiskers.

I think I was about 10 when, one busy Saturday, Mom asked me to make a cake. Well, it was just from a mix but I got creative with the frosting and tossed in some blue and yellow food coloring. Turned out the most bilious shade of green ever seen. It also turned out that it was meant for a pot luck at church that evening. For the first time ever we took a cake to a pot luck and brought the entire thing back home again. Thus proving that color really is important to people when selecting food; it actually tasted just fine. Lesson learned.

PS….can Beatrix get any more adorable?

Bargaining stage: Jabba the Cake

Oh, sneaky little Beatrix! I see that little kitty butt! In other news, the Woman and I have the same baking process.

Is Puck reaching in with a spoon in that last panel?

Beatrix is out of her baby clothes.

A bowlful of Kitten makes the cake mix go down,the cake mix go do-own,the cake mix go down.Abowlful of Kitten makes the cake mix go down,in the most Bealightful way.

Sounds like my cakes.

That’s why i stick to cookies and muffins and pie.

Happy Bunday, everyone! I am a decent baker now, but I don’t attempt anything as fancy as the Woman’s cake. Beatrix slowly creeping into the frosting bowl is absolutely hilarious.

The Woman could do like Judy Collins: Cook With Honey

Layers cool and golden brown

Cats and Humans gathered ’round the kitchen table

Close together, spoon in hand

…….

I always cook when it’s sunny

Friends all gather ’round

The friends all make it sunny,

Tell me, how does this sound

With a big spoon.

…….

Sharing cake with friends and kitties

Well, it can be so fine,

It’s just a piece of cake to be kind.

…….

We’ve been living here so long

The Big Pink House is one great home!

…….

I always cook when it’s sunny

Friends all gather ’round

The friends all make it sunny,

Tell me, how does this sound

With a big spoon.

…….

Well the Orb is always open

And there’s always room for more,

Baking for all our friends

Is never any chore.

…….

So come and get to know us

There’s a bowl of cake for you

But looks like there’s no icing,

But what you gonna do?

…….

I always cook when it’s sunny

Friends all gather ’round

The friends all make it sunny,

Tell me, how does this sound

With a big spoon.

Even the leaning tower of cake, is better than no cake at all. Give me butter cream frosting or give me…

Thanks for such a great “laugh out loud” moment – mostly because I’ve been there, done that! I don’t even try fancy baking very often, but when I make a cake, I’d at least like it to look as if it weren’t baked by a horde of drunken gnomes with no sense of direction. Sheet cakes are my friend!

Kubler-Ross’ 5 stages of mourning!

My Dear Hubby just declared this the best birthday comic ever.

Looks a little like a ‘Mr. Bill’ lump of cake in Panel 7. “Ohh NOOOOOO!!”

Love the dessert fixing / home improvement tip – “More frosting will shore it up.” Gotta have a solid foundation!

Go with pie. It is pie for ice cream, or it is fruit crumble for ice cream.

Off-topic Akiro update: Ickle boy is home and everything seems to be working well. He seems very happy to be back where he belongs and is quite cuddly for a change.

Also, today is his 6th Birthday – he has received a can of wet food as an appropriate birthday breakfast (normally, he only gets that with his supper).

I don’t think Beatrix has a problem with the cake or a least the icing. Someone is going to have a big job cleaning the little girl.

It doesn’t matter what the cake looks like; I’d still eat it.

I knew someone who made cakes that looked so good nobody wanted to eat them.

Experiences like this is what made me invent what my family calls “trifle”. Break yellow cake stuck to pan in chunks, then layer with vanilla jello pudding with extra cool whip stirred in and melted store bought chocolate icing into big bowl. Top with cool whip, and chocolate chips for garnish. Busy mother produces huge bowl of fancy dessert! It’s actually one of their favorites :)

The proof of the cake is in the eating.

Cake is like sex…there is no such thing as bad cake.

OMC, I laughed out loud all the way through this! And today’s broadcast perfectly explains why I never try to bake.

If all else fails, crumble the cake into chunks & layer it with ice cream for a yummy trifle!

In panel six, the cake has and adorable little face!“Please be a cake. What can I do to make you a cake?”Awwww…

Is that a spoon in Puck’s paw in the last panel? And I love the after-the-storm tear on the Woman’s cheek.

Is this the first time that Beatrix is being introduced to the Sunday only people?

Did someone leave the cake out in the rain?

Is this the cake that ate Chicago?

If this cake were holding Puck prisoner, would someone remember how Dorothy defeated the Wicked Witch of the West?

Is there a cake worse than death?

Actually, if some one in the film industry gets inspired to make a movie of BCN… perhaps combining live action and computer generated animation, I want to see this as the scene before the opening credits. Or as a mid-credits scene at the end of the movie.

At least it was solid. Tried making my granny’s Carrot Cake recipe and it turned into Carrot Cake soup.

The Taste Test is the best Test!! No question!! Looks aren’t ALL that!!

Sheet cake. Delicious and simple. It also travels well for pot lucks and road trips.

When a cake does what the Woman’s cake does, it usually means your cake is too soft to hold together. Find a recipe for a cake meant to be stacked.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts!

Sweet Puck is trying to comfort the Woman while she cries. I’m surprised Elvis isn’t doing that. I guess Elvis really only protects not comforts so he must report on the situation. Soon all the Boy will help clear any evidence that the cake did not go as planned because they are GOOD BOYS after all.

Am I the first to say this???

This Comic really ‘Takes the Cake’ as one of Georgia’s best!

OMG! The cake — it’s still expanding! it’s absorbing the man! Run away,m everyone, RUN AWAY!!!!

My son just called this “Breaking… err, Baking Cake News”. Seems apt.

Not a cake person myself unless it’s heavy, chewy, and strong flavored. I think that breaks every rule in the cake aesthetic canon. :-) They can be harder to make than some things. A conventionally good cake is a fine frosting vehicle. It’s physically strong enough to support the frosting but bland enough not to interfere with the flavor. :-)

OMG. Headline Smasher just gave me this:“Opinion: The House Says It’s Time to BAKE THAT CAKE!”

When my parents were still newlyweds and having a family dinner party, Mommy baked a cake for dessert. Daddy came home from work and saw Mommy crying, took the cake 3 blocks away to dispose of it, stopped off a bakery and came home. Dinner party saved. Love conquers all including BAD baking.

A day late, but

Georgia – you are unrivaled at giving inanimate objects facial expressions and emotions. Bravo!

My hubby has just run off 85 pounds US weight. His only indulgence is my homemade cake. He says the thought of a slice powers his final 5k every time he runs.
