April fools ham sandwich “cake”

I was genuinely confused, like yeah April Fools cake I guess followed by a regular looking shitty breakfast? But damn OP, you got me. Glad you and your kids had fun with it!

carnivalfucknuts@reddit

wait how did you make sausage-shaped pancakes???

[-]

Mixed pancake mix with an egg (tried it without egg & was too crumbly), a little milk, and cocoa powder and shaped it on a baking sheet and baked around 8 minutes. They were a little dry, honestly, but I thought if I added fat they might spread. Brushed with a little syrup and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Could be better but the kids ate them. 🤷‍♀️

ty very much; i wanna try this and make it for my mom but she'd definitely refuse the ham sandwich cake lol

Elogant@reddit

The hair on the cake is killing me 🤣🤣

[-]

ZeldaZanders@reddit

The sesame seed sprinkles are inspired

[-]

BidenPardonedMe@reddit

So is the random hair 👌

[-]

PRpitohead@reddit

The random hair is really corn husk fiber dyed black.

[-]

Hamsammichd@reddit

That was how I knew my mom made food with love back in the day

[-]

BidenPardonedMe@reddit

Like my pawpaw used to day, "If the hair ain't curly, I'll feel surly"

[-]

PatchesMaps@reddit

Yeah, I would have just used normal sprinkles and called it a day since they're relatively flavorless. The extra effort is really cool.

[-]

NoPerformer4456@reddit

Sprinkles are literally made of sugar lol

[-]

panundeerus@reddit

Yet y taste like cardboard

[-]

GeckoCowboy@reddit

…what kinda sprinkles you been eating?

(Nah actually, thinking about it, I take that back. I’ve had some absolutely flavorless sprinkles… little flat round ones. Forget what brand they were… But sprinkles can be good/sweet!)

[-]

avelineaurora@reddit

idk man they taste like sugar to me. Would have been weird as heck on this.

[-]

NoPerformer4456@reddit

Maybe I just have good sprinkles because mine taste like sugar 😭

[-]

odindabean14670@reddit

there is so much sugar in white bread that this basically is real cake...

[-]

WakeupDp@reddit

There's hair on it btw

[-]

LazarusHimself@reddit

I bet it's an eyebrow

[-]

Dalferious@reddit

Looks like a pet hair. Or a pube

[-]

Pbandjess928@reddit (OP)

Dog hair. It’s shitty food what do you want 🤷‍♀️

[-]

GeckoCowboy@reddit

I have two cats. I can vacuum, sweep, wash, dust, etc, to perfection… and yet, the chance of making myself some food without a cat hair in it is still so, so low. 🥲

[-]

vr1252@reddit

I have a huge fluffy cat. I love cooking but I just started buying pre-made stuff for potlucks because I don’t want to put others through that lol

[-]

deions_missing_foot@reddit

Pubes. We want pubes.

[-]

Pbandjess928@reddit (OP)

lol

[-]

plateia-lumitar@reddit

Could also be a pet's pube. We can't rule anything out until we get more information.

[-]

grahamcrustedsalmon@reddit

That’s part of the joke!

[-]

Sparrow1989@reddit

You sure that sausage aint shit?

[-]

Dinosaur_Autism@reddit

If someone hands me a slice of cake and it turns out to be a ham sandwich, the crash out will be legendary. It's very convincing!

[-]

somerandommystery@reddit

I would eat it.

[-]

DonkeyToucherX@reddit

Looks tasty enough

[-]

Severe-Rope-3026@reddit

i wish i had kids to make silly food for on a random tuesday instead of drinking myself to death

[-]

anivex@reddit

I mean, you know what you're doing, do you even enjoy it anymore?

You might surprise yourself with how less dreadful your life feels, when you aren't treating your hangover with more booze.

Side note, I love this show and it's a shame it was canceled. I'm on my third re-watch!

[-]

clydefrog811@reddit

Same. I almost miss tiny HBO shows like Animals and High Maintenance

[-]

i_h8_wpg@reddit

I remember watching this show and for the life of me I cannot remember what it's called.

[-]

brainchrist@reddit

Ugly Americans

[-]

Vivid-Intention-8161@reddit

I assumed this was a Bojack GIF for my entire life. Huh. Gotta watch Ugly Americans now!

[-]

i_h8_wpg@reddit

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

The family dinner episode is one of my favourites simply because they use the phrase "hit all the walls"

[-]

-Battle-Santa@reddit

Oh man I felt that

🫂

[-]

GeckoCowboy@reddit

Seriously, make yourself some silly food! I know depression is a real bitch, but sometimes doing stuff like this can break up the day to day and ease things up a bit! :)

[-]

femaletrouble@reddit

Just make silly food for yourself, sweetie. That should distract you from the constant, dull hum of existential dread for at least an hour.

[-]

terminalzero@reddit

you'd be surprised - you can spend most of the time making a sandwich with the nigh-physical press of the icy, unmoved void bearing down from above you to grind your soul into the pestle of the world

it's only really when you're cutting off the crusts and slicing the vegetables, the shining edge of the knife calling to you like the ghost of a lover, promising final, endless peace, that you really get a good moment of distraction goin'

[-]

Ianofminnesota@reddit

Oh that was beautiful

[-]

femaletrouble@reddit

This guy silly foods!

[-]

nickk1988@reddit

I have kids and honestly I made silly foods for them but I kept on drinking myself to death until I decided I’d had enough pain and I was tired of letting everyone down.

You don’t have to keep drinking yourself into oblivion…. Unless you want to but for real dm me if you want help.. I’ll do whatever I can to help you get it

[-]

High_InTheTrees@reddit

But drinking ourselves to death is pretty fun too, you gotta admit 🌚

[-]

Sleeko_Miko@reddit

Smörgåstårta! Sandwich cake is a Swedish party dish. Beautiful and delicious.

[-]

Typography77@reddit

I'm Finnish and just now realised I that sandwich cake seems to be a nordic thing... even saying sandwich cake feels wrong.. Voileipäkakku tai ei mitää.

[-]

Sleeko_Miko@reddit

I love Finnish because I have not a clue what you’re saying. Norwegian/Swedish/Dutch are pretty easy to translate between and then the Finns join the conversation.

[-]

Typography77@reddit

It says "it's voileipäkakku (sandwich cake) or nothing"

Yeah we are in a different language family entirely. I googled the sandwhich cake thing btw and found out swedes invented it in the 50's and it traveled to Finland by Finlands svensk in the 60's.

[-]

No-Elephant4615@reddit

Excellent 🤣

[-]

hollowbolding@reddit

:c

i respect the bit but :c

[-]

driedchickendays@reddit

I'd smash all that, looks damn delicious

[-]

mondayortampa@reddit

Pretty cool

[-]

a_simple_girl@reddit

I freaking loved it!

[-]

jericol2@reddit

You accidentally made something that's eaten where I'm from. We call it sandwichon and it's delicious tbh.

[-]

PastyDoughboy@reddit

You joke, but I bet that shit is delicious.

[-]

meowmeowgiggle@reddit

Want.

[-]

CHull1944@reddit

This is so cool, OP. The ranch frosting is diabolical. lol

[-]

Savitz@reddit

You have inadvertently made a Swedish classic, Smörgåstårta!

[-]

KatieCashew@reddit

That's what I was thinking. And they are delicious!

[-]

hannahstohelit@reddit

Are you by any chance a John Finnemore fan?

[-]

Pbandjess928@reddit (OP)

No idea who that is

[-]

hannahstohelit@reddit

All good- he is a British comedy writer who did a web series over early COVID which included a segment on meals which look like other meals. He obviously didn’t invent the concept but figured it was worth the ask!
