Cake Wrecks

When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.....................
I laughed so hard I cried at this site

The Problem With Phone Orders
[answering phone] "Cakey Cake Bakery, Jill speaking! How can I help you?"
"Hi, I need to order a cake for my boss. We have a photo of him playing golf that we'd like to put on it, though - can you do that?"
"Of course! Just bring the photo in on a USB drive and we'll print it out here."
"Great, I'll bring it by this afternoon."
Later..."Hey, Jill, what am I putting on this cake?"
"Oh, check the counter; I left the jump drive out for you there."[calling from the back room] "Really? This is what they want on the cake?"
"Yeah, the customer just brought it in."
"Okey dokey!"


This order was for a "black high heel"
(Three guesses what the customer asked for on the cake!)
Sometimes stupidity takes so much more effort.

Although interestingly enough, I think that icing IS light pink. I guess the decorator was covering all her bases.
Baffling inscription?Check. Atmospheric pollution? Check. "Rotisserie Chicken" label?Check. Excess punctuation? Check, check, check, and check check. Looks like we're covered, now let's sell it!
"...And underneath that, write 'We will miss you'. Got it?"Oh yeah, they got it.

Here's one for those of you celebrating the torrid love affair between your pet lobster and rubber ducky:
I would pick on the redundancy of "12 month anniversary", but frankly I'm more concerned over this being a stock design. I don't know WHAT the decorator could have done to shorten the inscription. Do you?(And fyi: Freymoto is a clever smash-up of the happy couple's last names. Nifty idea, no?)
I think I saw this outfit modeled on one of Maury Povich's "Who's the Daddy?" episodes.
