For last week's Nightmare Theatre premier of the 1974 bomb 'Shriek of the Mutilated" I made a (spoiler alert) wedding cake for two of the characters, Leroy "Lightfoot" Spivey and Petunia.
The cake topper is made from paper, pipe cleaners, and wood grain contact paper. I used the black lids from SToK coffee cold brew bottles as the cake layer lifts. They actually have a nice form to them and I use them all the time for random things.
Since all of us around here are still holding tight to a resemblance of a diet I tried out making a sugar free cake mix and sugar free tub icing by Pillsbury. It's still not really diet friendly with all the other carbs from the flour and the oil and fat from the icing but hey, it cut some of the calories! The cake was pretty good and didn't taste like it was loaded up with cancer causing sugar substitutes at all! For extra "health" I sprinkled around the base of the cake and the tops some crumbled shredded wheat which I thought looked like something you would find out around the dirt road leading to the Spivey love shack.
Here is the episode in full and a brief synopsis:
This 1974 shlocker, which ostensibly is about a group of college students on a Yeti-hunting expedition that evolves into something far worse, inspires the Baron to dress Sapo up in an old bigfoot costume to pull off a Patterson-Gimlin scam - with sadly predictable results.
