Withdrawals?

Are you experiencing any?

I'm really only referring to withdrawals from seeing edible goodies here on the blog, if you're suffering from any other type, I'm afraid I can't help - or at least not today.  My apologies.

But, if your withdrawals are of the missing edible goody variety, a syndrome I can completely understand since it's been nearly two months (TWO months!) since I shared any cakes or cookies or cupcakes with you, then it's your lucky day.

Why is it lucky?  Well, I've got one word for you - May.  As in the month of May and all the sweets I created during it's 31 days - 24 creations in all.

Shall we get started on the cure?  Maybe we should see if we can find 24 synonyms for "cure...;" one to go with each goody.  Let's play!



#1:  Antidote



#2:  Fix



#3:  Solution



#4:  Curative



#5:  Remedy



#6:  Relief



#7:  Medicine



Side note:  I love this cake; surprising, no?  Go Pokes!!

#8:  Elixir



#9:  Treatment



#10:  Rectifier



#11:  Therapy



#12:  Corrective



#13:  Panacea



Side note:  this was a fun graduation cake to put together - a bit out of the same ol' same ol'.

#14:  Recovery



#15:  Countermeasure



Side note:  had fun creating this one too.  It's been awhile since I made a baseball cap cake; this one was made in the likeness of the grad's team hat.

#16:  Alleviation



#17:  Heal



#18:  Aid



#19:  Nostrum



Side note:  yep, it's a graduation cake - again, something you don't expect to see among all the usual grad caps, tassels, and diplomas.

#20:  Catholicon



#21:  Quick Fix



#22:  Reparation



#23:  Redress



Side note:  yes, that is a play on crime scene tape on a graduation cake; probably one of the more out-of-the-box grad cakes I've created, but a very fun idea for a group of graduates who are "partners in crime."

#24:  Help (yes, I'm digging deep for synonyms at this point...)



But, looky, looky - managed to find 24 alternative words for "cure."  True some of them are more of a stretch than others, but sometimes you gotta get creative.  And, bonus, you got to see all the creations from May; I caught up on a month's worth of backlogged photos (still got June to go though...sigh), and, you quite possibly might have expanded your vocabulary.  Win, win, win!

One last option, just for good measure:  elixir vitae.

Hope you are cured now; if not, I have intentions of being back soon, albeit with shorter posts.

Talk to you soon!
