Glossy Time Capsules Bonus Post #2: Cake Decorating! Wilton 1995 Yearbook

 Glossy Time Capsules: Bonus Post #2

Cake Decorating!

Wilton 1995 Yearbook

It's 1995, and the only thing standing between you and complete celebratory bliss is the perfect cake. 

So... off to the bakery you go! 

Ha! Bakery? Puh-leeze. Why would you pay someone else to design and bake your exquisite rectangular comestible when you could do it all by yourself for zero dollars? (The ingredients don't count, of course.) 

And where better to get your inspiration than a magazine called CAKE DECORATING!? (It's either that or bitmap images that take 6 minutes apiece to load and look like this...)

Stick with this magazine.

Never forget... getting older is shameful!



Sanditon? Sandyntha? Somebody's celebrating.


Baby Uncle Sam? Gluttonous train conductor? Who's to say?


Jurassic PARTY, anyone? That pun's so bad, even T-Rex is grimacing.


Well shoot, I actually like this^ one!


Come to our tea party. Hmm, who shall I eat first?


Afterward, Brenda spent many a night pondering whether her friends who made her this cake were criticizing, or simply presenting their awareness of, her unfortunate gambling addiction.


Pat.


Aunt Irene thought the cake was delightful and felt so very loved... until her family began cutting into her.


Hmm yes, this would have been the year all the Jeffs turned 40!

40 may be fun for Jeff, but for Vickie, it spells doom....



And the puns keep coming.

Hey, holidays!



Congrats! You're having a baby! 


Let's throw you a party with a baby-shaped cake and then devour it, one body part at a time! 


Evidently a lot of hobbits graduated in 1995.


Yes, congratulations uh... um... oh yeah... Debbie.


Meanwhile, in mid-90s kids' cakes...





Thomas looking only slightly menacing.






Now that you have your inspiration for the perfect cake, why not invest in some cake-topping accoutrements?











Okay, I know why, but also... why?


Ah well.

In conclusion, 1995 was a good year for cakes.
