Dental Training
April 23, 2013 Hi, I'm here to pick up a cake? It's the "Happy Birthday Brittany" one.
;)
Ah, no, see, that second "Birthday" should be "Brittany."
;)
No no, this has Brittany twice. I need "Happy Birthday" on it.
;)
Ok, now you've just combined them into one word. There should be three.
;)
You don't mind if I bang my head on this counter here, do you?
;)
Look, forget the name. Could you just give me a cake that says "Happy Birthday," with sprinkles on it? Yes? Great. Thanks.

Thanks to Anony M., Bethany C., Angela A., Margo R., Brian R., & Kasha D. for the dental training. (Because it's like pulling teeth? Eh?)

Brain...dying...can't comprehend the stupid
Sung to "Happy Birthday"
Happy Birthday times two
Happy Birthday two yous
Happy Brithday
Happy. Brith. Day.
Happy Birthday Day, you.
How mad are you?
How mad are you?
For someone named Sprinkles
You're huffy, aren't you?
Happy Birthday, Sprinkles! (See, that wasn't so hard.)
How. How can even six people be this stupid. How.
While the wording mishaps are unfortunate, most of the cakes look fairly appetizing. Not so #3. There is a lot of bad going on there. And was the decorator chewing on a hamburger with his or her mouth open while leaning over the cake? That dark matter in the center looks horrible.
The wreckiest thing about #3? Riderless carrots. But even mohawk babies could not save it.
I'm not sure which is funnier, "Happy Birthday Sprinkles" or the classic "I Want Sprinkles" cake.
I can maybe see just forgetting what I've written and absentmindedly writing the same thing twice, but I think I'd notice eventually, especially if I had to go over the letters again in black, as in the first cake!!!
Personally, I'd like to party with Sprinkles. She sounds like fun.
Most likely not done by the cake decorator. A lot of people who work in a bakery who don't really write on cakes well. Also could have been late and had someone in the store do it for them.
It's the fact that these things are still presented to the customer that boggles my mind. I mean, WHO thinks that's OK???
"Happy Birthday Sprinkles" is pretty funny, but the irony of the "I Want Sprinkles" with NO sprinkles is a clear winner. At least most of them have nice handwriting. I'm a little suspicious that someone took a reasonable cake from a store, and wrote the 3rd and 4th inscriptions themselves. Either that, or the decorator was out, and the janitor did the inscriptions (no offense to janitors with impeccable piping skills intended).
I have to wonder if the "Brithday" cakes are for 8-day-old boys...
Hey, Sprinkles deserve birthday cakes, too!
Surely I can't be the first one to suggest that the "Happy Brith Day" is clearly a cake celebrating a baby's circumcision, done by a decorator with a lisp. Totally obvious to me!
Well, one of these can be saved, if you're near enough your Aunt Day's birthday.
And she isn't allergic.
I wanna party with Sprinkles too! We can all gather around and sing Sharyn's song to her. I'm SURE she would love it since her special day usually isn't celebrated.
The 3rd one just looks nasty. Blech....
The birthday of my birthday is my birthday.
Is it not?
SuBee - If you ice me, do I not smear?
That's it. We're gonna name the new cat Sprinkles.
Being nicknamed "Sprinkles" for my birthday would open up a world of celebration possibilities with my besties. And two of us will be celebrating our birthdays (which are 3 days apart) at her daughter's wedding in September. Hmmmmmm. . . . . We'd better start planning!
Naming a cat Sprinkles would be asking for it, if he is an unsnipped tom. As a kid we had one, and he sure wasn't getting any slice of cake for his birthday. Though he did eventually get a cone - around his neck. He shredded all the furniture on revenge. Not one of our better cats, and our last male.
#1 & #2: Cookie and cake for twins? Served at Little Ceasar's?
#3: Chainsmoking baker. The ash coating helps it go down easier.
#5: That is breakfast cake, eaten in the morning when we celebrate Day's birth.
#6: But, there doesn't appear to be a comma...they are Happy Birthday sprinkles, as opposed to Ho-hum Wednesday sprinkles. No one is speaking to Sprinkles (I don't blame them either. She's such a diva. I hear she didn't even show up for her last gig).
The birthday day cake must be for Betty Bunny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNF046rjKV8
Growing up with and learning to spell the name "Brittany" resulted in quite a few near misses in terms of almost writing "birthday," so it's not as impossible of a mistake as you would think. Granted, I was in elementary school at the time. :)
To be fair, my brother's middle name, and the name he still goes by, is Day. No, really. So, there were many "Happy birthday, Day" birthday cakes at my house.
You have to wonder if now there is somewhere a middle-aged man with a very unfortunate new nickname. "Hey Sprinkles!"
I can't believe you now have so many cake wreck photos as to make that dialogue work.
Herakleios, the dark matter in the center of that cake is not hamburger meat, it's pesto.
When I was working at the grocery store chain that starts with an 'A' while in college, a bunch of us made up stripper names and put them on the back of our name tags...mine was Sprinkles - I thank you for the cake! LOL
And now I shall go drink more coffee in the hopes the caffeine will make me forget the stupidity of these peoples! =D
Looks like they had trouble understanding the order or something.
I just came looking for have a cake made for my son's cub scout ceremony. the store bakeries are not allowed to do any free hand decorating. They can only do deco that is approved by corporate. I blame Cake Wrecks... you have corporate shaking that someone is going to screw up. LOL!!
These are waay too funny!
I don't care, I would eat the "Happy Birthday Day" cake since it looks like a scrumptious carrot cake (and with coconut, too!) Plus, given the message, I would know to expect to get a "Happy Birthday Night" cake that evening, as well, maybe in red velvet or midnight chocolate or something appropriate to go along with evening attire.
So my name is Day, so that one cake is for me. Been wanting cake. Do you deliver?
Does decorating cakes for too long make you stupid or do only stupid people go in for cake decorating as a profession?
GROAN
kept waiting to see how the title fit today. (sigh)
back when my friends and I used to do things like make up "stripper" names I was always Bubbles. wish I'd thought of Sprinkles back then but it's probably because I don't like sprinkles...
Oh man lol. Now once I can see screwing up but wow. Still I would eat the cakes. Especially the one with all the yummy sprinkles. Unless of course they broke my teeth then I might possibly get a bit upset lol. Cannot fathom for the life of me if these wreckerators just drank too much coffee or can't understand the order.
Wait a minute, my name is Day! Maybe that birthday cake was for me!!
I had a great-aunt Day, so it's possible 'Happy Birthday Day' is correct, though on the evidence of this post the odds are heavily stacked against this. However, does anyone else think the greenery on that cake looks suspiciously like real plant matter?
Can I be "Sprinkles"? As a teen, I insisted on having blue flowers on my cakes; no cake was ever complete without blue flowers. And those are good blue flowers. Ah, memories.
Terrific job of pulling these together into a narrative! Very funny!
@ Allison
I take it that the new cat's not litter-trained yet.
The name so nice, ya say it twice!
Cake #2 would have been perfect on The Fairly Oddparents. They have the character on it named Britney Britney. LOL
This is probably my favorite post. I feel for them, though. Sometimes when I'm typing Happy Birthday to my friends I almost type Happy Brittany. It's a pretty great name, so I can see why it sneaks in there so well! :D
You clearly don't know how to distinguish a cookie from a cake.
