Boob Bundt

"Are they real?" is perhaps the most popular question asked of this show. "They" could refer to a number of things...drama, people, hairstyles etc. Lana became inspired by the most realistic part of the "Jerseylicious" cast and their drama: the boobs.

Lets reminisce a second here, and remember how boobs have sculpted our show into one of Style's greatest hits...

Briella got a boob job, and was aptly called a Boob Monster by Olivia (and now Boob Monster has become a twitter phenomenon).
Olivia wants a Boob job...and of course drama ensues at the Doctors office.
Apparently everyone at the Gatsby admits to having a Boob job (except Anthony and Tracy...we are still waiting to hear about Filli)
Alexa claims her boob size is a 32 FF....this itself is just funny.
Boobs, Boobs, Boobs, our show is filled with them (literally).

Lana's boob bundt was inspired by her real life encounters with boobs (she was hesitant to tell us the entire story). She crafted a delicious Spice Cake with Chocolate and Caramel icing, and delicately decorated it with fine pink lace, to emphasize the bust line.

Unfortunately the "Jerseylicious" crew wasn't up to the challenge of devouring two entire boob cakes, and one solo boob was left over, sadly without it's partner.

Black Hole Bundt


Poor Krista has been dealing with Episode 208 for an eternally long time; when she was bundted last week (in German no less) it was expected that her bundt would have a 208 theme. And what represents 208 better than a Black Hole.

By definition a black hole is "a region of space from which nothing, not even light, can escape"...sound familiar?


Well this bundt, a yellow cake with chocolate frosting, acted like a black hole and quickly disappeared as the Jerseylicious crew devoured it. (Come on, you knew I had to make that comparison, it was just too easy!)

But instead of reading about black holes, watch this video from 1979, a trailer for the Disney movie "The Black Hole". If you listen to this trailer, the voice over sounds like he is actually talking about Episode 208: "tis the most mysterious and awesome point in the universe"
"it is unavoidable, moving through space, swallowing everything in its path". Anyone who has worked on 208 can tell you, this is an accurate description of the episode.

Or, if you are in the mood for music, talk a trip back to 1994 for Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun".

Coco's Bundt

When newcomers walk into our office, they are often greeted by Jerseylicious' unofficial Mascot: Coco. She wanders around our offices, being petted, coddled and spoiled by all of us here; and rewards our attention by defecating on the floor.

Shannon may be Coco's owner legally, but we all know who's really the boss.


Early Monday morning, Shannon and her companions hid out in the hallway, while the rest of us listened to Style's recent Jerseylicious ratings. As we clapped to the good news, what we all were really thinking was: what kind of Bundt will this Monday bring us?!

After Wiki articles, short films, and a play rivaling ancient Greek theater, we were presented with The Jerseylicious Circus (more renowned than that other, smaller version called Ringling Brothers).

The door was opened, and peeking around the corner came Shannon and her famous dogs!


After a small stop in the kitchen, due to the very tempting smells within, the dogs pulled in a cart filled with mysterious mounds...


But this first trick was only the beginning; the Circus then unveiled the never before seen, highly anticipated Coco Bundt.


The likeness was uncanny. Coco's chocolate and caramel coloring was masterfully executed into a Chocolate chunk cake, with Caramel icing. The masterpiece was complete with a pink collar reading: Coco <3's Jerseylicious.

Perhaps the most dangerous of all bundt cakes, these mini-bundts were perfect for popping into your mouth without a second thought. The entire office fell prey to these tempting treats, and soon the Coco bundt was no more.

Jerseylicious Rex Bundt


After last weeks film presentation, Jon decided to head back in time and present a Greek Myth inspired Bundt Cake. But before we could feast our eyes on the cake, Jon, along with Eva and Brian, transformed into Ancient Greek narrators to tell us the bitter tale of Jerseylicious Rex.


Who knew there were so many parallels between our Jerseylicious Cast, and the Greek Myths of old. From the love affair between Eros and Psyche (which mirrors our favorite on-again-off again couple Gigi and Frankie), to the vain Narcissus (our own humble Fillippo) the Gods and Mortals of Ancient Greece must have been ancient ancestors to our very modern Jerseylicious Cast.

If you have a moment, watch the Performance as recorded by Matt Pickel or watch the side view Performance as recorded by Jonathan Ruane


There were too many perfect parallels between ancient Greece and our Jerseylicious Cast to include in this blog. If you want to read the rhyming masterpiece of Jerseylicious Rex, download it Here.

The only character's history we can accurately trace back to her Greek lineage, is none other than Gayle! Her great-great-great-great (etc.) grandmother was the beautiful and frightening Medusa.


Jon's performance pinpointed those specific traits which so obviously connect Gayle to her great ancestor Medusa. However, if you were not yet convinced, take a look at the Medusa/Gayle inspired cake, and then tell me you don't see a resemblance...


Complete with forked tongue, snakey red hair, and the eyes that can turn you to stone. The Jerseylicious crew enjoyed their Medusa/Gayle Bundt cake a little too much. Now the question is: what will next week bring?
