Damn! I’m kicking myself now for missing the opportunity to say “they could just rub it out”.:smack:
You sick freak!!! That ain’t frosting!!!
I had assumed that they were non-edible stuffed bears. There were a lot of comments in this thread that I didn’t understand because it didn’t occur to me that they could have been made out of cake.
Here is a longer article that contains a closeup picture of a bear. I have to admit it looks more cakey in the closeup.
This sentence is from the longer article:
That is a strange way of wording it. It “represents” a seam? Are they saying it is some sort of an abstract representation of a seam, but not an actual seam?
Bizarre. Assuming it was a stuffed toy, my reaction to this was “get your mind out of the gutter.” But if it really was a piece of cake deliberately baked that way, I have to reconsider.
Well, that’s…that’s just weird.
They look as if they’re made of fondant or marzipan to me.
And is anything more unhygenic than blowing out candles with one’s germy breath, andyway? (OK, the cake in question didn’t have candles but you know what I mean.)
Had to add: That’s my shouldn’t-laugh-but-I-did moment of the day.
Actually, I know what they’re talking about with regards to the seam-- there is a way, and it’s old-fashioned, but a way of sewing a teddy bear where it comes out with a pooched belly, and it has the seam at the bottom, not a seam all the way up. However, those bears don’t have the pooches. If they did, then it would look like a seam. Maybe. But those bears have been hitting the gym.
Also, for some reason, stuffed animals are always very plush now, and the seams never show, but they didn’t used to be. They used to be made of ordinary fabric, and the seams all showed.
They had me fooled. I thought it was a miniature stuffed bear on that cake. I agree its a confectionery bear after seeing that new photo. Now the seam makes even less sense.
Otherwise its a very nice cake. lot of work went into it.
I had to look over the picture, but it was pretty obvious once I got to the bears.
Not that I make a habit of studying stuffed toy crotches, but I don’t recall ever seeing sesms like that. Usually hidden, on the back, or sideways.
Offering to cover our remove the seam seems best.
Not if you intend to lick up the icing.
True story - for my sister’s 16 th birthday, my mom had a cake made by an independent baker. It came with a Barbie doll torso with icing as bathing suit top. We had a good laugh over it, and dad ate the icing while us kids were at the movies.
It was a good cake, though.
Those aren’t stuffed bears? Edible? That’s AWSOME!
And no, I didn’t see it all. Not until I read the headline of the article.
… I had no idea anybody could mistake those for actual stuffed bears. How big did y’all think that cake was, anyway?
Inter-species mixing. Bears got camel-toes.
Stuffed animals come in lots of sizes. Ever heard of Beanie Babies?
Correct, it is not a seam where this particular bear was actually assembled, it’s a depiction of a seam, just as the whole thing is a depiction/representation of a teddy bear rather than an actual teddy bear.
Which is why it is strange to single out the seam.
I thought they were small stuffed bears. There are plenty of those, like the ones you can win in fairs or such.
The 3 yo isn’t going to be shocked. Presumably, she knows that girls come with a “seam”. When I was a kid (70s), a lot of dolls had genitals. Isn’t it the case any more?
That was the first thing I noticed as well… I’d certainly get that refunded. 
I once saw two young grizzly bears having sex at the Denver Zoo. You would not believe how rapidly a male grizzly can do hip thrusts. They looked like a pair of huge bunny rabbits doing it.
