Anyone who takes a test bite out of a real sand dollar is just asking to be mocked. I mean, they’re not ginger snaps. They don’t even closely resemble sugar cookies. Obviously I understand why the sign is there (for morons), but I sincerely hope people can tell the difference between sand and cookie. I mean what kind of idiot can’t do that?!! Wait…

LOL self-deprecation rules!
Why, oh why would they put real shells on the cupcakes? Ewwww. Couldn’t they make some substitute out of graham crackers and fondant?
Googling candy sand dollars produced 87,000 results. Some look remarkably real.
I agree that putting real shells is gross!
It’s completely absurd!
I was at a wedding last month on South Padre Island in Texas, the cake was covered with edible sand dollars, starfish, shells, etc. that all looked very real. Suppose you should try breaking one before eating, but still…
sand dollars are actually sea urchin skeletons…i wouldn’t want one of those on top of my cupcake
Exactly. Where’s the sea urchin meat? I am disappointment.
I actually disagree with the caption. I probably would have eaten one, assuming nobody would be enough of an IDIOT to put real shells on something I’m intended to consume.
Why would anyone put something inedible on a cupcake?
I cut the cake for a wedding this weekend (I work at a hotel) and the decorator put foil leaves all over it. INEDIBLE foil leaves. I was tempted to pull all of them off, but they were clearly intentionally placed (on a sheet cake) and the last thing I wanted was an angry bride. But you never ever ever ever ever serve a human being an inedible garnish. Cake decorating 101.
Nice lie liar.
Nice trolling, troll.
*flying high five*
All of you have missed the point. Whomever wrote the blurb believes that San Dollars are made of sand. They are not of course, they are made of Calcium material as they are the protective shells of a sea creature.

Uneducated moron.
It doesn’t MATTER! I’m pretty sure most of us are aware that sand dollars aren’t made of sand.
EVEN IF WE WEREN’T, the point stands – sand dollars aren’t what most people would put into the category of “edible”.
Pseudo-intellectual egomaniacal troll.

Fun-spoiler.
Firstly, Cheez managed to write their name correctly; “Sand Dollars” not “San Dollars” and secondly she was making a reference to a previous post. So either you’re a troll, a typo-making/bad-at-spelling fun-crusher or an uneducated moron. Of course you could be any combination of the three.
Um, she was making a joke about how one of the Wedinator posts was an elaborate cake that had realistic looking “sand” on it made out of graham cracker crumbs. She wondered if it was real sand or what. So, when making the comment, “What idiot [can't tell the difference between sand and cookie]” she was poking fun at herself.
It was self-deprecating humor, which I thought was well done, but I guess if you need it explained to you in detail because you are too lazy to read between the lines, then at least you shouldn’t make asinine comments like “uneducated moron.” Grow up.
You grow up you uneducated moron!
not everyone keeps that close an eye on these posts some of us have other things to do in our day, so maybe the self deprecating humor was lost on a few of us because we don’t keep track of this one woman’s posts to wedinator.
everyone is getting their pantaloons in a bunch because some people missed the joke.
Whoever, not whomever. Just remember, if you could substitute “him” it’s “whom,” if you could substitute “he,” it’s “who.”
Stifling the urge to repeat your own closure back at you.
win!
You do NOT put inedible decorations on food. Ever. Simple food safety. I hope the couple asked for their money back and none of the guest broke a tooth.
Dear God! Who puts a sea creatures skeleton on a cupcake!?! The only crunchy thing I want on a cupcake is sprinkles.
dunno why you guys think it’s bad/gross idea to put real sand dollars on the stuff.. if they cleaned ‘em thoroughly and had them sterialized or whatever wouldn’t it be fine then?
Inedible stuff on cupcakes? Nooooooooo
It would never make them food friendly. There are teensy pieces of the shell inside. Break them open, the pieces look like doves. There is a fuzzy outer skin over the shell. If they rolled around in the surf long enough the crevices fill with sand which falls out forever.
They smell like dead sea creature.
Honestly, this is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen.
bones in museums are cleaned too; it doesn’t mean I want them as dessert toppings.
What a lousy way to give people a trinket from your wedding!! Can’t you just send thank-you cards??!!
That’s just nasty. Might as well put a dried up seahorse on top of the cupcake.
Seen that as well, O Goddess of Chaos.
I’d love to get a sand dollar as an extra gift with my cupcake, but not ON it! Ick to the third degree. Ick. Sorry, but I must reiterate – ICK!
How in the world do you sanitize a sand dollar enough to be put ON food?! I know I said ick before, but it just seems to be the most appropriate word…
I would like a closer look at those cupcakes – in my experience, sand dollars are all white. So what is brown on the cupcakes?
I think they look more like starfish than sanddollars. No less icky, but prettier.
Depends on how long the shell has lain in the sun getting bleached. They actually start out a kind of grayish brown.
The sign isn’t there for morons, as the caption suggests. Rather, it’s there to protect the guests from the strange cakemaker’s decision to put real shells on top. People usually expect food to be edible from top to bottom and, yes, a crunchy shell would definitely be a bad surprise. Might even result in a dental bill or two presented to the bride & groom.
So they topped their cupcakes with dead animals…that both disgusting and unethical….
most people unless vegetarian eat dead animals…
these however are not dead animals they are the shells of dead animals, that’s like topping a cake with bones as opposed to chicken breast (which would still be weird of course)
Even more absurd how easy it would have been to put beautiful *edible* sand-dollar cookies/candies/fondant/etc. instead of the gross real thing.
What is this, a seahorse-seashell party?
Dear god! I laughed for at least 5 minutes straight when I read this! That really made my day XD
*bows and presents you with 1,000 internets* All hail the queen!
Seashell? Sea hell…
I just picture some child running up and grabbing one of thoe and choking on the pieces.
