A Book to Brighten Your Day: Murphy's Sketches

Product Information

Cecily Strong, who based her cake on Frozen's Elsa for her daughter, reveals a monstrosity that she immediately destroys. Kerri Cunningham, 34, from Lancashire, is not usually in the business of sketching the royal family but as news of the Queen’s death broke, she decided to pay tribute to the monarch. There’s a space every month to jot down ‘things to look forward to’ and ‘stuff to remember’ so that you can stay on top of all the things our busy lives throws at us. Cunningham was inundated with supportive messages from the public, many of whom asking if they could purchase the drawing, yet she did not feel comfortable profiting from something she only ever intended to be a mark of respect.

All in all, however, "Holiday Baking Championship" will probably be best remembered for Murphy's slip-up — right as the sketch came to a close, the comedian let a profanity slip by the censors.During Weekend Update, as Colin Jost and Michael Che rounded up their weekly report on the biggest headlines, a gatecrasher appeared: Murphy's incensed, furious take on the children's character Gumby. The inspiration for the drawing came from a photo of the Queen and Philip sitting in the grass at Balmoral on a family picnic. The sketch has several good laugh lines, including Murphy berating his somehow-alive cake and Strong saying her cake sucks because she's "bad.
