Forget Your "P"s and "Q"s...
November 4, 2010 ...some of us need to start minding our "L"s and "F"s.
[Warning: Parents, clear the room of innocents!]
One cake, two drastically different meanings:
Yes, yes, I know it's an "L." Well, kind of an L/F hybrid, really. In fact, you might say if L and F got together, had a few drinks...No?
No.
Ok, then.
Good juck?Eh. I got nuthin'.
This, on the other hand, is giving me a little too much:
Go ahead, Wreckerator. Tell us how that's an "L."
Or better yet, why don't we all go over the importance of keeping certain letters separated?
I bet that's one office send-off Janet will never forget.And btw, I love that the Wreckerator threw in the towel at the "J."
Like, s/he was all, "Let's see, I nailed that capital L, but man, I dunno if I can pull off the J! Huh.
Ah, screw it."
Thanks to Caitlin B., Christopher P., Chrissy G., Robin S., who agree that all performance reviews should be written in frosting.

Wait a second?! A calendar! Yes please!
Eew! What is the frosting on the second one made out of? I can taste how gross it is just by looking at it. The first and third are definitely made by the same person. The good news about the last one is that Janet was able to overlook her name being spelled Tanet.
I hope I have all the um... Luck in getting the book. hee hee
Really, how do we know that those who ordered the cakes ever wanted them to say 'Luck' at all?
Ooo! I hope it's not too late! Wish me luck...
Most people just say it with flowers.
I'll post the calendar on my wall at work for all to see! I'll give the book to my daughter who introduced me to Cake Wrecks! My profile picture is real and really funny!
I usually read this site right before I go to bed. Always puts a smile on my face. So, tonight I'm enjoying the struggle some incounter with writing a letter "L" with frosting ... I know what's going to happen. I know it's coming ... and then once I see it I just BUST UP LAUGHING. I was totally prepared to see it, and still I'm hurting from laughter. I love this site. Good Luck and G'night.
Ah memories... My now-11-year-old son pronounced "tr" as "f" until he was 4. We lived down the street from the fire station. That was 3 years of very interesting vehicles driving by 2-3 times a day. Oh, and nothing freaks grandma out more than hearing her 3-yr-old grandson shouting "Fire *uck" at the top of his lungs. If only I'd know we could've ordered a cake to commemorate those days...
My handwriting is that bad, I just don't put it on anything that can be seen in public! OMG!
BTW: Pick me pick me!
I am going to be wishing for this to happen the next time I have to order a work cake... and then play dumb as people read the cake. "What?! It says Good Luck... see it's cursive." LOL
That last cake really just needs an 'o' missing from 'good' to be even more incredibly awkward...
WV: fulkay... not really looking to elaborate on that one...

These Wreckators should sign contracts stating they will only write on cakes in CAPITAL BLOCK LETTERS.
You always make my day!
Ooohhhh... wanna book! wanna book! wanna book!
Rose
Um... please?
Well, at least both sentiments are pleasant...?
And, wall calendar! Woohoo!
Y'know, I always read this blog. But darn if I've ever left so many comments consecutively before. Amazing what free stuff will inspire people to do.
I WANNA WIN!
Ahem...
At least I didn't get a going away cake when I left to get married I would hate to have seen what it would have said.. or possibly said depending on the wreckerator lol.
...at least they said "GOOD"..um...whatever, and not "BAD"...well, you know...I mean if you're gonna...OH, nevermind...I'll go to my corner now.
on the first one it seems like the wow was added as a description of the total mess up of good luck
This might be the best post ever.
Commenting :) I've been known to conluse a lew f's and l's in my file, but never p's or q's!
Looks like some wreckorators got lucky last night...
Just when I need a good laugh, you come through for me again!
It seems like this should be a Saturday Night Live skit... changing all the Ls to Fs to see what happens. Love you as always!

Ha! I'm a doctor who actually has pretty good handwriting but I've been guilty of a few "ur"'s looking like "w"'s. Ie, when describing fluids - urine clear or urine red.
Do we know that these were actually supposed to be L's in the first place?? I'm thinking no..... :)
Well, I suppose these could be appropriate as wedding cakes. Maybe? Just a little? No? K, just me finding that funny. Oh well.
Don't get me started on why I'm going to Canada in the hopes I'll marry a Mountie.............
I think I'd be a little flattered if I received the last cake. Er, maybe not at work.
And there's a third interpretation lurking, at least for the first cake--doesn't anyone else see an 'S'?
good god, ALL of those looked like F!
WV: pogratie -- miniature potatoes au gratin.
Maybe the L's are just drunk?
That last one is the worst! That's totally a conventional cursive F!
Anon Rebecca
Keeping my fingers crossed for good f*ck!
The first one looks like it could say "suck".
The first one looks more like "Good Suck" to me...which is almost as bad.
I've never seen so many people have so much trouble with the letter L!
Wow. Someone really lucked up.
At least you can tell it was done by hand.
Whee hello!
Oh man! Thanks for posting my cake submission!!! Yeah, a really good send-off! LMAO!
that first cake seems sarcastic
LMAO!!!! Do these people know the difference between L and F?!
check out my blgo: nikkiscakery.blogspot.com
Lmao I'm totally making my partner a cupcake like those after we have a weekend together! And irl, I make my fs like that. Ls don't get any loops in my notebook.
Good intercourse, Tanet!
That last one makes more sense if you decide it was made for a Rocky Horror Picture Show after party. ^_^
i know of two guys who, after spending their first night with their girlfriend, sent them bunches of roses. the intention ( and the roses) is stil there...
Haha, you know, if these cakes were made for the right kind of occupation, they'd make perfect sense. makes you wonder what kind of retirement parties they have, and if janet was at one.
