The cake was slathered in impossibly thick frosting and topped with an assortment of delightful creatures which my mom crafted out of mini-marshmallows and toothpicks.

Sorry, I didn’t find it hilarious, funny or even mildly amusing.

IMO, what makes it funny is not the story so much as the cartoons. That, and the fact that the protagonist reminds me of some dogs I’ve known.
