Bakers Celebrate National Punctuation Day?!
September 24, 2014 And now...
Punctuation Tips From Professional Bakers...
1) Always put punctuation at the end of a sentence. Unless you forget or think it looks better this way.
;)
I like it.
2) Quotation marks are perfect for emphasizing you don't understand quotation marks.
;)
"Good" job!
3) They can also help cover "mistakes!"
;)
"That's my nickname for you. That I just made up."
4) A slash generally means "or," but hey, if it feels right...
;)
5) Proper punctuation can convey a sense of enthusiasm, so choose wisely!!
;)
Because everyone hates Jonathan.
6) No one really understands how apostrophes work, so just sprinkle them in wherever.
;)
;)
7) When in doubt, go with a question mark. Inside parentheses.
;)
It's not the punctuation Gotham needs.
It's the punctuation Gotham deserves.
And finally, remember:
8) Punctuation is important. Just put it anywhere.
;)

Ugh, that “congratulation’s” cake! They were SO CLOSE, then they had to throw that apostrophe in there. D’oh!
@MelindaB: thank you...you know what they say...a day without Cake Wrecks is like a day without sunshine...we're all here to laugh and start the say with a smile....
A slash is also a proofer's mark for starting a new line. And that didn't happen either. *sigh*
Hmm with all the scoops of ice cream on that one cake maybe the wreckerators are hoping no one notices the errors lol. Who knows how they can even keep their jobs but oh the hilarity that ensues.
You forgot that poor "courtney's" name wasn't even capitalized in the second pic (perhaps they didn't want her to become TOO full of herself upon receiving such an awesome special cake in her honor an' all?!) And "birthday" is, of course, spelled wrong on "Tori's" cake. (It looks like it says "birlthday" instead.) *Sigh.* WHEN. Will. They. LEARN???
**disclaimer: all punctuation used in this comment was added (or left out) intentionally to both mock the original bakers and their mistakes and to also better convey my personal commentary. But mostly to mock the bakers. ;)
Thank you for this amazing site and for all the daily fits of coughing-and-crying-and-rolling-on-the-floor-dying-of-laughter kind of entertainment you provide for my family and me! :)
