I'm This Many
September 15, 2009 Let's see if you can guess how old these cake celebrants are:
(Ah, phone orders, how I love thee...)This next one's a bit harder because of the lousy penmanship, but give it a minute: it'll come to you.
Did you get it? Huh? Didja?
Seriously, how fabulous is this? The baker took a simple two-word inscription ("You're 31!"), turned it into a three-word inscription, and then misspelled every word. ("Your thirtee won")
And then there's that comma. Just look at it, sitting there all nonchalantly, mocking my every attempt to comprehend its existence. Grr. I tell ya, if there's one thing I hate, it's smug punctuation marks. Yeah. It's all, "Hey, you should pause for breath here, even though the sentence has technically already ended." Aaaugghh!!
I can't take it anymore!
The comma must be stopped!!
[patting down hair]
Ahem.
So, where were we?
Oh, right. Well, I have no idea how old Alicia here is...
...but at least there are no stinkin' commas.Jennifer S., Cari B., & Alicia W., I've noticed that more people are suggesting I take a day off lately. I have no idea why.

I think these cakes are hilarious. Keep these hilarious wrecks a coming.
Your site is hilarious, I am laughing out loud. I had to write and tell you that while I was reading my 5 year old son came over and demanded the mole rat and cockroach cakes for his next birthdays. Thanks for that. I do occassional cakes while we are posted overseas where we can't even get a misspelled bakery cake!
The tweeteenth birthday must be halfway to the eleventy first birthday.
I mean, the first one obviously says 115! But no-one has ever been 115 in my book...whoever has that cake, keep it until it melts! It's one-of-its-kind!
