Calvin and Hobbes Birthday Cupcakes


You've heard of Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes right? The comics are about a 6 year old boy and his stuffed tiger, Hobbes. Calvin is very adventurous and has quite the witty mind when it comes to dealing with life.

These cupcakes are inspired from his many snow adventures (how fitting as we're getting tonnes of snow here in Toronto). To see some of the Calvin and Hobbes snowmen comic strips, you can do a quick search on Google Images. I think you'll laugh at their crazy antics and hopefully enjoy some of our variations and additions:


Let's start off with the mischievous Calvin, while he can be devious, Howard sculpted him out of fondant and has Calvin making snow angels in the vanilla buttercream frosting.


Poor Hobbes, he looks stuck! I guess someone tricked him and got a big snowball over his head.


Maybe it was the snow minions? But they look innocent enough...


Buddy! Help me! The snow sharks are trying to eat me!


Sorry I can't help, I'm not even sure how I fell into this tree...


I can't help either! I'm being buried alive!
Well, at least your head is still intact...


Yeah, I'm not doing so well over here.


Yeah, well I was here minding my own business, listening to my iPod when...

That. Happened.
Who would throw a snowball at a snowman?


Clean and right through my body! What am I going to do???
What are you looking at ski-man?


I'd say that a hole is much luckier than what my sledding buddy did to this poor dude:


He accidentally (was it really an accident?) ran over someone at the bottom of the hill.


He can be rebuilt if necessary, but this guy...
It looks like he ate too much pizza, cheese, baguettes, and... is that chicken wing?
Well, I think if you over eat, or over drink beer... then you deserve this:


What? Throwing up sprinkles?


You never know, weird things can happen to your body here.
Would you rather have three eyes, two noses, and one body?


Or two heads and one body?


You think that's bad? The other day I was watching TV and reading books, basically minding my own business when...


My pet cat came over and ... ugh! I can't even finish that sentence. Let's just say, yellow snow was involved. Enough said.


Yellow snow is nothing compared to warm weather! We're meltinggggg over here...


Well, you're not a snow ghost yet.


We hope you enjoyed our little twisted land of snow. We had LOTS of fun making these. =)

Happy Birthday Greg!

  3. These are great! I really like Hobbes, but the snow people are great too. Reminds me a bit of bunny suicides. If you haven't read them yet you should. Morbid, but cute and funny.
