I'm assuming there are a lot of passive aggressive cake decorators out there!

The chevron and the cat-on-the-head were my favorites.

I can understand how that can happen, tho, over the phone.
One of our medical transcriptionists, back in early 90's down here, wrote that a patient had acquired
"gang green" of his leg.

Which, if you think about it....

I've heard "life begins at 40" before, maybe this is supposed to be "40 begins forgetting"? It's still strange.

I think it popped up three or four pages into that website. It started as a request to copy a mine craft cake, which turned into a sheet cake with the picture of the mine craft cake on top. Then there was the cake with the picture of the picture of the mine craft cake.

Someone up thread suggested cake wrecks. I spent way too long there this afternoon looking through pages and laughing so hard my cat thought I was traumatized and needed soothing!

Happy Falker Satherhood!

Ashley J. had two male coworkers each expecting a child, so the office decided to get them a cake. They wanted it to say, "Happy Fatherhood Shawn and Glenn".

Instead, they got this:

Like you, I'm sure, Ashley & the gang were just dying to know what the decorator thought he or she was writing, exactly. So, they decided to go find out. Yep, that's right: They grabbed a video camera (did I mention they work at the Fox television animation studio?) and strolled down the street to pay a little visit to the bakery in question...
