Now look, people.
Do not make me explain this again.
This is an eyeball.
This is my eyeball cupcake. It does not have any eyeballs in it. If I tell you I am eating one of these, please do not call the police (again).
This is Robert Smith.
This is me as Robert Smith. I do not sing songs about the Spider Man. I am not in love on Fridays. I have never seen a lovecat.
Got it? Robert Smith:
Me as Robert Smith:
Thanks for letting me clear that up. If anyone else wants to ask me about Halloween, I’ll be in my room crying and listening to The Cure.
Your costume is phenomenal! And the eyeball cupcakes look just as scrumtrillescent.
Still, I know what it’s like to face Halloween treat discrimination. I iced my pumpkin cookies with two different colours of icing this year, and one guest refused to touch the purple ones because it was an “unnatural” colour compared to orange. (Pfft. I can probably name just as many naturally purple foods as orange—and it’s exactly the same cookie. Plus, the orange ones had something like ten times as much food colouring as the purples because orange requires one drop of red and something like 20 drops of yellow. Craziness.)
Craziness indeed! What a peculiar guest. Do they avoid the plums and grapes in Superstore, I wonder.
Were those the iced pumpkin cookies you gave me the recipe for so many moons ago? I make those regularly, but always without icing… not because it’s unnatural, but because it seems like gilding the lily. Too bad you didn’t get pictures of your monstrous cookies!
It’s so odd that I find you hotter as Robert Smith. So odd.
It is sick! And wrong! And unnatural!
I shall go home and write a song about it.
I stopped by to rob your image of an eyeball and stayed to read the whole article. Loved it. I am so making eyeball cupcakes this coming halloween!
Incidentally, purple food dye comes from beetle guts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cochineal).
Welcome, Bill! (Also re: purple food dye, how wonderfully Halloween-y and appropriate!)
