Some of my favorite submissions this week.
Oh what a difference a missing "e" can make:
[sound of bomb dropping]
[followed by a THUMP]
QUICK GUESS WHAT THIS IS:
Or, if you're like me, first get distracted trying to read the writing, then wonder why there are Hello Kitty boobs over "E linzsbath", and then refuse to believe Amy W. when she says it's a roller skate.
Ok, I guess now I see it.
BUT STILL.
They asked for a pizza cookie cake:
Not gonna lie: part of me wishes we were looking at a single slice right now.
Because that'd be a "pizza cake." EH? EH???
At least Cookie Monster gets me.
Susan's husband asked the bakery to draw a pregnant woman on her birthday cake. Now, I assume this is because Susan is pregnant, but just to be safe, NOBODY ASK. [meaningful glare]
Anyway, I've been staring at this for ages, and I still have no idea what's going on here:
It's like a cow... arm chair?
Definitely a cow something, anyway.
So, hey, good luck with that, Susan's husband.
I've seen so many butchered peace signs on cakes that I'm starting to suspect someone changed it without telling us. The prime suspect being Mercedes Benz, of course:
Gosh, if only bakers had a reference on hand to copy! You know, something close by, and in the same colors, and clearly visible...
OH NEVER MIND
Peace out to Janie B., Amy W., Laura Y., Linda M., Susan L., Vanya C., & Kerri R..

Well the peace sign wreckers could be martians from the 60's movie. They just can't color in their eyes for some reason.
I thought that perhaps E linzsbath was getting her first bra. Isn't that an event worthy of a poorly executed cake?
OK, I'll, er bite: What IS a "pizza cookie cake" supposed to look like?
The last one looks more like a thong than a peace sign.
Clearly, that's the rarely-seen roller-skating horned hippo who had a little trouble with the mafia so her leg got rubbed out. And smeared over the air in front of her belly, apparently.
WTH is a pizza cookie cake? Because I can see how the decorator could get confused there...
Can't. Unsee. Peace Thong!
OMG, I am glad Im not the only person who saw boobs and something to do with Hello Kitty. I sat there looking at it and trying to figure it out for a long time before I actually read your caption. LOL
The "cow" cake is a pregnant woman in profile without a head. What you are seeing as the cow's head is the boobs, and the body is her bump.
To paraphrase the Klingon Ambassador from the opening scenes of Star Trek IV:
"There shall be no peace...as long as these wreckers live!"
Why does that pregnant lady look like a centaur?
Never understood how so many can wreck a simple peace sign....
Part of the problem is that the wreckerator didn't finish erasing the pregnant woman's first set of legs.
The "pregnant lady" cake is clearly a bull in a bathtub. Cealis for cattle?
Susan's cake features a lovely image of Roger Hargreave's Mr. Greedy.
Kerri's cake is not a thong. It's a bad imitation of the city of Chicago municipal device, which represents the branches of the Chicago River where they come together at a spot in the city called Wolf Point.

And is that a cupcake cake?
This pregnant lady brought to you by the letter B. She's Bregnant.
The Hello Kitty/skate disaster was made by the single fan of the movie "Show Girls," and declares that Elizabeth Berkeley is a "10." Which is appropriate, because my only thought when viewing that icing is "Take it off!"
When did Winnie the Pooh get knocked up? (Pregnant yellow thing) I'm really curious since WtP is a male.
I thought pizza cake was supposed to be a cookie with red icing for the "sauce," white chocolate for the "shredded cheese," and fondant or candy shapes for the rest of the "toppings." What I see is a cookie in serious need of some blemish cream. Amazing.
My husband says Susan is actually Winnie The Pooh carrying a pot of honey.
I thought it said "Happy Breast Enlargement"
Mercedes-Benz helpfully placed an ad right next to the "peace signs" for me. Just FYI...the internet now thinks that people who enjoy messed up cakes prefer luxury cars.
Anyone else now singing "I've got a pair of brand new rollerskates, you've got a brand new key..." ?
The "pregnant woman" cake is obviously Winnie the Pooh getting back into his honey smuggling habits.
I thought the pregnant woman cake could have maybe been a berenstain bear drawn by a drunk person
"Pizza Cookie Cake" should not even be a thing. Just buy a pizza and write on it with "squeazy-cheese."
I'm sorry. I'm at a loss for humor due to the sacrilege that is "cookie cake."
Clearly that's a minotaur doing his upper arm stretches.
Oh man lol. Still thinking that pregnant woman looks like a cow trying to bite the heck out of its back. And I saw boobs on that skate cake lol. Sheesh.
I was thinking Elizabeth is into race cas (some girls are - see Sarah Fisher) and hers is # 10
There was a time, when I was a young teenager in the mid-90's that some crazy church group was saying that real peace signs were "broken crosses" and anti-Christian, and so tons of people started making that weird upside down Mercedes symbol instead. Oh look, apparently those crazies have a website! http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/False%20Religions/Wicca%20&%20Witchcraft/peace_sign.htm
Yeah, that yellow thing is definitely a pregnant Winnie the Pooh. Or, as someone suggested above, Winnie the Pooh with a pot of honey. That's not as hilarious as a pregnant Winnie the Pooh, though.
A roller-skating buffalo? Nah, you can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd!
I thought the 1st cake said 'dad' not 'dud' at first glance!
