Snickers Poke Cake

Now this? This was my mom’s birthday cake. It’s a Snickers Poke Cake which means that it’s a chocolate cake poked and filled with caramel and peanuts, then topped with a nougat frosting.

Um, best birthday cake ever, don’tcha think?

Okay, so speaking of moms, I want to talk to y’all about something that I’ve been not understanding lately. Is it just me or do people not abide by the “if you can’t say anything nice” rule anymore?

My mom (and dad) always taught me if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Don’t like something? Keep your opinion to yourself. Don’t bad mouth or cut people down; live by the golden rule to do unto others.

It seems to me that either (1) people aren’t teaching that very much any more or (2) the internet makes people think that rule doesn’t apply to them. Social media and the internet give these people a place to hide behind; they forget that even though they’re on their computer they’re still talking to a person.

If you’re a blogger you know exactly the people I’m talking about. They’re the ones who leave comments like “I hate this, it’s disgusting,” on a post that you worked so hard on.

They’re the people that, instead of being able to understand sarcasm or a joke, tell you you’re stupid for joking around or that your blog is stupid because you talk too much.

The biggest offenders are often the ones on Facebook. I gotta say, I have a love hate relationship with Facebook. It’s great for catching up with old friends, sharing photos, and for getting traffic to my blog. But I swear, posting food on Facebook brings out the trolls x1000.
