i figure that with everyone on the el-jays posting their seasonally-appropriate videos, memes, pictures, and writings, i should join in on the fun. here is one of my favorite videos of all time: Sandra Lee making her ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC Kwanzaa Cake, complete with gigantic candles, canned fruit, and corn nuts she thinks are acorns.
my favorite part is at the end, after she's cut out a piece of the cake and it looks like it is about to collapse in on itself due to the weight of the wildly inappropriate candles.
when i first encountered this cake i wrote this comment:
i can't see how pumpkin seeds add anything worthwhile. like, you'd be eating this fluffy/gooey angel-food-and-apple-pie cake, and then you'd bite into a totally inappropriate crunchy, salty pumpkin seed. WHY?? they're too small to see under the sludgy icing so they don't add to whatever um...tablescape/decor thingy she is going for either?
SPEAKING OF ICING. the first time around i thought it wasn't that gross, in fact i thought 'hey, chocolate-cinnamon-vanilla icing sounds kind of nice!' but then i thought: wait, these powders cannot be mixing with the icing in a delicious sort of way. probably it just tastes like stuffing cinnamon and hot chocolate powder and frosting in your mouth at the same time and it'd be sticky and powdery all at once and you'd really want a drink but what could you drink with a cake like this?
OH GOD I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS CAKE
:(
Semi-homemade with Sandra Lee: Reduces viewers to babbling madness within one segment.
i have also copypasta'd some choice 'missing the point' comments from youtube, the land where rational thought goes to die:
A Kwanzaa cake? How PC can you get? This is borderline insanity.
Ugh, no thanks.. Too PC for me.
Hey everybody! Let's go celebrate Kwanzaa, the made-up holiday. It's the dumbest holiday ever invented.
:|
in the same episode she also makes a Hanukkah Cake which is kind of the same thing as the Kwanzaa cake, only 'pie filling' is now 'marshmallows.' DELICIOUS NON KOSHER MARSHMALLOWS! IN AN ANGEL FOOD CAKE! COVERED WITH VANILLA ICING! my mouth, it is watering! i cannot wait to unleash this monstrosity upon my unsuspecting Jewish friends!
it also has a topping that is supposedly a Star of David, but looks like a TV antenna made out of fake pearls. what?
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! \o/
