So, I was searching today for Circus-themed preschool activities and found this. Does anyone else find this one incredibly morbid?
Bake a Buried Clown Cake:
1. Bake a sheet cake; cool.
2. Frost the cake with chocolate icing.
3. Make the Clown Cones: Scoop round balls of ice cream into sugar cones; turn the cones upside down onto a plate of cookie sheet; and doecorate the ice cream clown faces with frosting tunes, using the cone as the clown's hat. Keep in the freezer until cake time.
4. To assemble, place Clown Cones on top of the cake, ice cream side down, evenly spaced, one for each child, so the clowns look as though they are buried beneath the cake and only their heads are sticking up.
So, essentially, what you're left with is a clown graveyard. Ummm...I don't know about you, but I'm not sure if this is a healthy kid activity.
Ryan? Thoughts?

After the movie, IT, I would think the death of clowns would bring comfort to many children. It could go along with the new book, Everybody Dies, Even Clowns.
Maybe if you think of the clowns rising out of the cake for a big birthday surprise! Like Bozo's Bachelor party or something. Okay... also maybe not the best childs' activity.
Considering how much I always hated clowns....
here's a couple comment jokes I came up with (pick your favorite)
yeah we did that once in Ireland only it was a "buried protestant" cake
yeah we did that once at church only it was a "buried to our sinful selves" cake
yeah we did that once at Best Buy, only it was a "buried informed consumer" cake
yeah we did that in Economics class once, only it was a "buried American non-voter" cake
Ooo...Morgan, do theatre! Do theatre!!!
Okay here's a couple I came up with for theatre:
Yeah we did that in theatre class once, only it was a "buried Rogers & Hammerstein" cake.
Yeah we did that in theatre history, but it was a "buried verfrumdungseffekt" cake. There were still clown heads, but they kept talking to everyone and smoking cigarettes.
