“Well I saw the thing a comin’ out of the sky
It had a one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin’ and I said oo-ooee
It looks like a purple people eater to me!”
 
I love this ridiculous song! It gets me every year. Flying Purple People Eaters is just one of those ear worms that works its way in each October! It’s a cute and catchy song that kids and adults can have fun with, laugh together, and have a goofy time!

So, I took the song a bit literally and made some One-Eyed, One-Horned Flying Purple Eater and their delicious little flying saucers!
I think I covered all my bases!

I decided to make this count as my Birthday Cake. I’m a Halloween Birthday Baby and I love my crazy cakes. And what makes it better are the cake pops! This project was so fun.
