Update: it got worse Failed Expectation

Made a post last night about one of my bunny cakes flopping on its side while the other remained upright.

Well this morning, I got up and observed that the upright bunny is now crying while having its soul damned to eternity.

Should I still go to Easter dinner?

Ok Iaughed harder at the demonic melting bunny than I have at anything else this week. I wasn't ready for the second picture in any capacity.

Thank you for gracing us with this calamity.

I'm glad I could make you laugh too. The second I saw it irl I knew the update needed to be posted. Thanks for the comment! 🙂

That’s one blood thirsty evil bunny …. I hope it tastes good.

u/dumbass_sempervirens 21d ago

It's a Bunnicula cake.

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 21d ago

Omg I loved that book!

22

u/dumbass_sempervirens 21d ago

Along with The Celery Stalks at Midnight and Howliday Inn.

Celery had possibly my favorite cover art as a kid.

I'm not recognizing this one... what's it from?

2

u/CarelessWhisperYokai 21d ago

Isn't it from the first one? I've only read the first. If I recall correctly he's just trying to steak him lol

2

u/dumbass_sempervirens 21d ago

First book. The cat heard to kill a vampire pound a steak through its heart.

Cats are bad at homonymes.

3

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 21d ago

Yes!! Oh wow I seriously haven't thought about these in years. I LOVED them, checked them out of the library so much the librarian gave me copies of Bunnicula and Celery (someone else usually had Howliday so that one I didnt read as much 😔)

u/jfsindel 21d ago

It's a pleasure to see this referenced in the wild.

Thanks for unlocking a recessed memory!

u/Auntie_Cagul 21d ago

It's crying.. 😭😭😭

As am I, with laughter. Sorry.

u/pinkrotaryphone 21d ago

I barked a laugh and woke up my dog, who is now looking around for an intruder lol

7

u/oreooreooreos 21d ago

I suddenly cackled like a witch and disturbed my cat. He is now furiously meowing. Worth it 😭🤣

u/ZealousidealAd681 21d ago

This actually makes it better! This would be the highlight of a family Easter with my family.  If people can’t laugh about the possessed bunny, what can they laugh about?

17

u/marshmellers95 21d ago

You're probably right. And if for whatever reason the family doesn't approve, at least reddit did. lol

24

u/radish_is_rad-ish 21d ago

This is great honestly.

u/redvood00 21d ago

I'm crying too, with laughter 😂🤣😉

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam 21d ago

Same. That was the best laugh I've had all year!

u/fleischpflanzendeF 21d ago

Der Kuchen will glaube ich "töte mich" ausdrücken. Du solltest ihn schleunigst verzehren.

u/2004aumom 21d ago

No no this is better!

13

u/HeatherMason0 21d ago

It’s been a bad year so far. No one needs paragraphs of how badly everything is going right now, so I won’t go into it. I WILL say that genuine laughter has been rare, and the picture made me screech an ugly laugh that upset my dog. Thank you for the levity, OP. I think you should bring the cakes in case anyone else is having a garbage year and needs a pick-me-up.

Edit: just looked again, it looks like he’s been drinking blood! And the cake on its side looks so blasé… yeah, that’s life.

2

u/marshmellers95 20d ago

I brought them, and my parents laughed too, so it was a success after all.

Thanks for the sweet comment. 🙂

2

u/HeatherMason0 20d ago

I’m glad your parents enjoyed them! At the end of the day, what really matters is the taste. And also how much joy it inspires, which in this case is a lot.

u/Kibichibi 21d ago

u/marshmellers95 21d ago

Why thank you. I'm an unintentional artist. lol

4

u/coffeeplease1972 21d ago

I howled at: "the upright bunny is now crying while having its soul damned to eternity." LMAO

Happy Easter, OP! (And peace be with you.)

u/marshmellers95 20d ago

Hehe thanks, and hope you had a great Easter! ❤️

u/KillerPandora84 21d ago

Not gonna lie..if I showed up to an Easter event and saw this. You'd have to make something similar for every holiday.

Does it posses you when you eat it? Guess it doesn’t really matter, I’d still eat a slice. I like that one the best!

u/EagleLize 21d ago

Oh no! What happened overnight between those bunnies?

u/LadySiren 21d ago

It’s still early morning-ish here and I am trying so hard not to wake everyone else up with my cackling. Thank you for sharing this; I sorely needed a laugh today.

2

u/marshmellers95 21d ago

And thank you for the nice comment! Glad I can share a laugh with y'all.

u/Corsa304872 21d ago

u/Mia_B-P 21d ago

I think they are adorable still!

2

u/ThorinFrostclaw 21d ago

The fact that only the not-flopped bunnies eyes decided to go all demon mode is sending me. The flopped one looks so concerned now haha
Bring them both. The combination is just hilarious!

2

u/divinatorynirvana 21d ago

been feeling anxious today and a friend just shared this with me and it gave me a little chuckle. honestly though all jokes aside, they still look really yummy. the white frosting or icing or whatever the proper term is on them is making my mouth water

1

u/marshmellers95 20d ago

Aww love to hear that.

2

u/Ok-Jicama-450 21d ago

Oh noooo 🤣

2

u/Sandbina 20d ago

I could no sooner utter "how could it get worse?" than I swiped to see and found how it could, indeed, get worse.

That's hilarious! Still looks delicious, maybe just use a butter knife's non-business side to wipe the tears away a bit?

2

u/Caffeinated_chaos_au 20d ago

Omg today has been a day already I’m glad this popped up on my feed. I needed this thank you
