April 24, 2015 Some of my favorite new submissions this week.
What we have here is a failure to grasp the concept:
;)
;)
[head desk]
And speaking of revealing:
;)
Is that what they're calling it now?
At least this wedding wreck came with tissues for the bride to cry into:
;)
Although the chocolate smears may bring to mind a different kind of tissue.
(Ewww.)
Had to include at least one more Princess cake for Princess Week!
;)
Isn't it grand?
Too bad that's not what they got:
;)
Hmm. I see your points.
And finally:
When display signs get snippy:
;)
Cannot. Stop. Laughing.

That last one is funny...."It's a cookie, jackass!"
On cake #3 (The tissue wedding cake) EEEEEEEEW is right (and also Yeech!!!!)!
Oh, I LOVE you. The MORON made my whole day. And CHEAPLY, at that! What a deal! Only one or two teensy things would've made it perfect...Quick! Somebody run over there and put in the missing comma after pastries, and an "!" after "MORON" (Yeah, go ahead and change the "p" while you're at it, too. Thanks.) =^~.-^=
Most of these are hysterical but the castle cake bothers me a little that it was posted as a wreck, if you aren't positive you know the backstory. It really isn't badly done and in my experience is probably as much a result of the person ordering the cake asking for a "few small changes" like can you make it pink? With dark pink flowers? And all rounds, no hexagons? It costs how much? Oh, we don't need that much cake. Can you make it smaller? And I only want to pay half as much, so you can leave off a few details. The first cake is a masterpiece, and if that's the cake you want, you're going to need to pay for a masterpiece...
When did Morons get to be so cheap? We've been paying millions to get them into Congress, and to think we just had to hit the grocery store.
That display sign just made my Friday!
The first cake? "Congratulations you're having a Golden Retriever!" Now borrow some of the tissues from the Wedding cake debacle to cry over the gender reveal cake gone really wrong, then borrow the sign from the last entry and hand it to the people who made the gender cake wreck. Moron. Says it all.
I'm with Jen, still laughing at that one too.
Bwahahaha
The second one is clearly advertising Dick Blob Cookies. I mean, it's obvious!
Count me in on the love for the Moron sign! "They're pastries, dumbass!"
It's the spelling error on the second one. Shouldn't the second 'o' have been a 'c'?
Darn, you mean I could have just bought a moron from the store instead of marrying (and later divorcing) him?
Well at least they aren't penis towers. But the windows remind me of that "bubble" cake a while back that looked like it was covered in condoms. o.O
Is @Craig around? I see Theardare's ears twitching.
That's priceless Degera. And so, so true...
OK, I adore the MORON display sign, and I laughed until I had tears in my eyes. HOWEVER--what was is supposed to say? Macaroon? Boron? Moon? Am I having a non-intuitive moment?
The cookies are very common here in miami. They are also called "Cuban sugar cookies" originally from the city of Moròn in Cuba, hence they are called Tortica de Moròn (cookies of Moròn)...that said, if they are not common in your area, it would be funny.
What was the moron supposed to be? Macaroons?
@Jodee, I thought the same thing; at least they aren't penises!
Now, while I complete my laughing fit, can someone explain what the sign maker meant to type in place of "moron?"
The Princess Cake doesn't look too bad.
@Jodee: Theardare's ears only twitch when he's about to toss a hairball...Good timing, if he's here.
The first cake? "Congratulations you're having a Golden Retriever!"
POST OF THE WEEK! I'm still laughing over this. Good one, Cookiemama!
I am now wondering if they were really "Gloria's" or if they should have said "Glorious" then again, why would a cookie be glorious, unless they were ACTUALLY FOR morons and they magically turn them into intellectuals...then again, I'm probably reaching...
@ Degera; BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! THAT is hilarious, got a very hearty guffaw from me.
Have a GREAT weekend everyone, I'll be over here in the corner sneezing when I WANT to be out in the garden playing in the dirt...just for a few more days anyway.
I "effin" ❤️ cookies too!
Maybe the gender reveal cake was for one of those couples that don't want to tell anyone what their kid is until kindergarten when they are odd enough to "choose" ?
I'm pretty sure they meant to say "Macaroon."
When you realize that the towers in the masterpiece castle cake look like tampon applicators, the "wreck" looks much better in comparison!!!
What was "moron" supposed to be? Is that short for something?
Moron is welsh for Carrot so maybe they were trying to be clever ;(
'Morón' is Spanish for a hillock. Maybe the packets under the sign are full of little heap-shaped things. There is a French wine called 'Château Moron', which causes hilarity among English speakers.
Re the gender reveal cake...
Oh,look, they're having a Simpson!
;-)
OMG, Cookiemama, I am totally stealing your "Congratulations, [we're] having a Golden Retriever!" idea for a celebration cake when we adopt a rescue from Homeward Bound Golden Retriever Rescue later this year.
Is Gloria selling her pastries in Florida? My mother-in-law calls everyone moron and I assumed it was a Floridian term of endearment...
Considering how often the gender reveal cakes get it wrong in the first place, this at least takes the above-board approach. No matter what, no one can say that the cake was wrong (or right, for that matter). :)
Bwaaaaahahaha! Moron!
My Friday is made.
I truly LOL'd! All of these are fabulous blunders.
I wonder if the maker of the second castle cake may actually be among us in the comments!?!
That gender reveal cake is hilarious! Jokes on you...we put the reveal on the outside!
Castle wreck, by Harry Nilsson: "Me and my arrow, straighter than narrow..."
Lol oh man at the sign. Morons for sale. Who knew? I couldn't stop laughing once I saw that and the cookie lol.
I just woke up my household with my laughing. You always make my day.
Aww, methinks the baker of the princess wreck has joined our little soiree, and is none too pleased to see his/her handiwork labeled a "wreck". Trust me, my dear, the admins of this page have heard every excuse in the book - and then some - for why any given cake has turned out poorly, and yours are no exception. If you can't deliver what the customer requests, tell them so. Don't churn out something that definitely belongs on this page and blame it on the customer's "changes".
::wheeze::Thank you for the last one! You too, SuBee!
I often borrow that Floridian endearment in chatting up other drivers. Sometimes, they wave back. That bony, pointed wave.
BTW could those things be for a Mormon holiday? Glorious Pastries for the angel Moroni? In a Salt Lake store?
No?
Sign by Napoleon Dynamite: "They're Gloria's pastries, Moron. Go find your own. Last summer I made a Baked Alaska using nothing but the flames of a raging volcano and my whisk skills. Uh! Idiot!"
So was it a boy or girl?
HAHAHAHAHA - I love the conspiracy theory and I totally get it but no, I didn't bake the castle cake although I don't think the baker who did should be ashamed to admit it. Actually there are apparently two people named Nancy who thought that cake was ok. Hard to believe but yes, that's the case.
The "good" castle cake is made of mostly plastic, it is the Wilton romantic castle cake set. I know because I nearly bought it a few months ago but decided it was cheating! Hopefully my version wasn't too wrecky! I thought it was okay but I'm sure all these wreckorators thought theirs were too!
