A Scholarly Salute
May 6, 2013 It's Teacher Appreciation Week, my friends, so if you can read this, thank a teacher! (And if you can't read this, then... uh... wait. Never mind.)
Ahem.
Teachers, whether your subject is:
;)
"Scienc"...
;)
"managent" or "psycology"...
;)
the "Holly Bible"...
or teaching kids their MBCs:
;)
... you get an A+ with us.
Yes, teachers, you labor on through daily trials and temper tantrums, shaping our future generations, spreading knowledge, encouragement, and inspiration, and all for the vastly insufficient reward of that one shining, glorious phrase:
;)
And while some of your students have already served their time:
;)
"Class OFF, buster!"
And others have much, MUCH longer to go:
;)
Please know that you are, without a doubt:
;)
...the "Word's Greates."
And hey, we mean that.
Thanks to Chrissy W., Kristen C., Christy, Anony M., Amy S., Carolina D., Barbara O., & Paul V. for the teaching moment.

My neurons shriveled up and died reading those D:
Hot for Wreckers?
I think of all the education that I've missed,
Now I’m a baker and I leave my patrons pissed.
I’m really bad,
Truly bad,
Wildly bad,
Bad decorator…
At least the second wreckerator spelled "Biology" right. 1 out of 3... No, that's not "not bad."
Thanks, teachers! I say that from the bottom of my teacher appreciation chairperson heart (was up an hour early to set up for a teacher breakfast).

"Thanks, Teacher," the subject
Of Cake Wreck artistry
It's frosted so badly
That science needs an "E"
Managent, that's wrong, and
"Holly" gets you enraged
"S" missing, so close though
Then "M" instead of "A"
Don't hand, don't hand that,
Don't hand that cake to me!
Don't hand, don't hand that,
Don't hand that cake to me!
Gradulation's hellish
That word's so hard to "get"
Spelling right isn't easy
Get the "F" off, my pet.
Century frustration
That bad date makes me cry
Teachers are the "Greates"
The "T"s missing, oh my!
Don't hand, don't hand that,
Don't hand that cake to me!
Don't hand, don't hand that,
Don't hand that cake to me!
I think my head is about to explode... I've lost all hope for the human race. Perhaps I shouldn't teach math anymore. English seems to be the need.
They made a bible for me? Awesome. I wonder what's in it?
Wonderful post, pitiful cakes. Best team on the blogs: Jen (and Hub of Jen) + Sharyn. Love you guys.
Pretty sure MBC is supposed to be MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses), which believe it or not is a real thing. Thank God I graduated a long, looooonnnng, time ago.
Why does the apple have a mustache?
Where's Haiku Joy? LOL
These cakes: seriously? Hopefully they are in the minority.
Here's hoping the creator of the 2112 cake is a Rush fan.
@ V.C. Wald: Is MOOC like an MMORPG? Like, it's set up like World of Warcraft, but instead of grinding mobs for hours, you earn gold and experience points by learning stuff? Because I can totally get behind that.
Especially if it teaches cake decorators how to spell.
Yes, a daily visit to Cake Wrecks means you're in for a bad spell.
(groan)
Haiku Joy is busy measuring her grading callus.
If science and engineering types can have a "Rubber Bible", I don't see why arboretists couldn't have a "Holly Bible".
I think "Gradulation Day" is a stroke of pure genius. "Congratulations" and "Graduation" are much too labor intensive to say and to write in frosting. "Gradulation" is a stunning contraction...one I'm going to incorporate into my everyday life.
And kudos to Winonna for mentioning Rush on a website about cakes. Has that ever happened before?
As a teacher, it's good to know I'm so aprecated. Er, apprisheated. Um . . . apprecheated . . . That I'm so licked! There, got it.
Sharyn = Brilliant
I blame it on spell check. I find I'm having problems spelling when I write because when I'm on the computer I know it will tell me it's wrong so I don't try to remember the correct way to spell. They are nice cakes if you could quickly eat the wrong places. And Gradulation is just a new combo word-congrats (because I'm not sure how to spell the full word) on your graduation.
That second-to-last cake is clearly for the first graduating class of Starfleet Academy, and inadvertently ended up being transported to our time aboard a rather odd Police Emergency Call Box.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
I'm a retired teacher and I've seen many hilarious misspellings over the years. Some of my favorites came from parent notes for their kid's absence, especially when they tried to spell "diarrhea." One memorable case had "troughing up and the dairy." My favorite was when the parent had crossed out several attempts, gave up and wrote "slippy poops!" I think all of those parent had side jobs as cake decorators.
I don't suppose MBC stands for Master of Business Communication, or one of four colleges (Mary Baldwin in Virginia, Matthew Boulton in England, Minneapolis Business in Minnesota, or Morris Brown in Georgia)...
Psycology: The study of Gangnam Style
Am I the only one that saw the top-most diploma on the first cake as a rolled up dollar bill next to a curious white substance? I am? Okay. Nevermind what I thought the diploma was on the rainbow cake, then...
*sigh* Now I'm depressed.
Time for another squee-worthy look at Falcor and Doc Brown's 'o' face and a chocolate-covered Millenium Falcon over on Sunday Sweets!
"A-B-C, it's easy as 1-2-3..."
Gradulation day? When will we get to see Congradulaions gratuates?
With APPRECIATION to all my teachers in the past, and to all of them here on Cake Wrecks — thanks for showing me it's possible to laugh every single day, that delight can be found in the smallest of things (like properly spelled words and punctuation that is accurately placed), and that Sharyn is a terrific lyricist!
Sharyn = Brilliant!
These cakes? Not so much.
Haiku Joy - Here's to a speedy year's end for you! Can't wait to see the babies!
@FM ~ I'm so glad I'm not at the reception desk right now! As it is people keep walking by my office looking at me funny because I can't stop giggling o.O
Class OFF! I'm soooo going to use that in conversation today! It's most definitely a Monday around here!
One question tho. What year is that supposed to be??? Anybody?
Hey, not one of those books said "English" or "Language Arts" on it! Obviously not a favorite class of any of these bakers.
Deb FTW!!! Psycology now sounds AWESOME!
why does the 2112 cake have a border of teeth? Maybe I don't want to know.
Good golly, but I love all of you.
The Holly Bible could be a seasonal version.
Gee, a Physics book with the bible. Ironic. Maybe someone was thinking a little botany would make the bible look scientific.
Its A Side may have been based on a crappy Ayn Rand novel (I realize that that is pleonastic), but 2112 was a killer album.
Second to last cake is obviously for a Rush fan.
Ah.... Yep, makes all my years of teaching worth it, just to see how wonderful the kids turn out....
All bakeries should have signs posted that say CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATION, BIRTHDAY, and all of those other oh-so-difficult words spelled CORRECTLY. Maybe I'll make some myself. Shark Tank anyone? Hmmm.....
"They made a bible for me? Awesome. I wonder what's in it?"
Cake, of course:-)
@little gator: Even dental school grads like cake.
I see other people have already made the Rush jokes about the 2112 cake. Alas, I am late to the party. I had to study for my psycology final, you see...
@SuBee awesome earworm
@Sharyn "Get the 'F' off, my pet" made me whoop with laughter.
@ deb that comment won the internet.
Wow. I just wonder what the teachers thought just looking at these cakes lol. Either they had their heads explode or died laughing. Honestly how on earth do these cakes get sold??
@ Just Andrea- I checked the first cake,and I think you are right.
Why did I never think of ordering a 2112 cake? Although with my luck, they would have messed it up and put 2012 . . .
(BTW, yes, this is actually my regular online username.)
You know, "greates" is the archaic spelling of "great"
The bakere obviously speakes Archaic
Because thate ise totally a language you cane speake.
