This evening I was walking into the Harvard Square T station, on my way to a Red Sox game, and a group of college kids were walking ahead of me. They came to a stop — a couple of them were looking around — and as I walked by the group I heard one guy say to the others, “Hey, where’s Skylar?”
It was a valid question.
Wait, no it wasn’t. She’s in med school in California. Duh.
Ah yes, it was just a year ago when we first began blogging about Good Will Hunting here on Blog Will Hunting.
And as a part of our ongoing series THEY GOT A BOOK DEAL; WHY NOT ME, please enjoy a piece of birthday cake with us.
If a blog about ill-constructed cakes can get a book deal, why not a blog with brilliantly-constructed Good Will Hunting-themed cakes?
"How Do You Like Them Apples?" apple cake with brown sugar frosting and mini-cupcakes with red frosting
Many thanks to cake auteur Molly, who writes:
Well, it was supposed to be a “How Do You Like Them Apples?” Apple Cake, with Brown Sugar Frosting, with mini-cupcakes made to look like apples. The cake recipe is from King Arthur Flour. On the cake was a hand, holding a piece of paper with Skylar’s phone number. The background was decorated with cinnamon, and the paper made white with confectioner’s sugar, and the hand’s sleeve was green and black plaid. It was lovely.
But by the time it got to your house, it was a “Do you like apples? Well, I destroyed your cake on the 72 bus on the way over. How do you like THEM apples?” Apple Cake, with frosting mash. It was a literal cake wreck. I cried a little, just like I did the first time I saw Good Will Hunting. Still tasted good, though.
Happy Birthday, Blog Will Hunting!
"Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian" yellow birthday cake with chocolate frosting and cupcakes
Thanks to cake creator Katherine, who ran into some cake-making issues, primarily fitting all Will’s fictional brothers onto one cake, explaining “I had to resort to cupcakes. Also, there was a giant sinkhole in ‘Danny’ that I could not, for the life of me, fix… no matter how much frosting i filled it with, it kept sinking in.”
"It's Not Your Fault" yellow cake with vanilla frosting and red roses icing
Happy Birthday, Blog Will Hunting!
Via Wonder-Tonic, it’s “a useful simulator for all those times you wish you had Robin Williams there to counsel you.” Launch the simulator.
As a part of our occasional series THEY GOT A BOOK DEAL WHY NOT ME, Blog Will Hunting is putting out our first call for work.
To celebrate our upcoming first birthday, we want your best/worst Good Will Hunting themed cake or dessert item, à la Cake Wrecks.
