Aside from the fact that they just look majorly creepy to me, I don't think I'd want to take the chance of accidentally serving someone a toothpick or a piece of wire thast goes into the making of all those tacky decorations. I do love Miss Muffet's hat, though. It's a cupcake, and it's trimmed with a substance called Tuk-N-Ruffle®. Hee!

It's not credited in the book, but I do believe that's some more Tuk-N-Ruffle under the clown!

Oh no, the clowns are coming on their big wagon and they're going to kill me! I know I'm not the only person around who finds most clowns frightening rather than entertaining. Particularly when they're as nasty-looking as the evil orange-headed ones on that stupid wagon.

 

  

This isn't so scary to look at, per se. Actually, I think it's sort of cute. The scary part comes in the assembly and the fact that so little of it is edible. The castle is made from fifteen pounds of granulated sugar mixed with food colouring. The "mountain" is crumpled newspapers topped with icing. The evergreens are plastic cones on sticks, again covered in icing. So which parts are you supposed to eat? The castle? I do know I wouldn't want to be the person who fed a party full of little girls fifteen pounds of granulated sugar. Okay, now that would be scary.
