OH BOY
April 28, 2015 How hard is it to write, "It's a boy"?
LET'S FIND OUT.
;)
Oooh, so close.
;)
Less close.
;)
No...
;)
"Bay?" Really?
;)
And yet they nailed "congratulations."
;)
[massaging temples] Two tries, both wrong.
;)
[forehead on keyboard] Well, the "A" is back...
;)
Woohoo!
And finally, the wreckiest version of "It's A Boy" I've seen yet - and which I promise I am not making up:
;)
Ouch.
Thanks to Ashley L., Alison U., Laura M., Suzanne L., Karin A., Heather C., Cat W., Kayla F., Melissa H., & Jill D. for finally finding something worse than the "Finally A Boy" debacle of '08.

Some of those cakes were quite pretty, too...
I think if the handwriting is bad enough then It's can look like Just.
And looking at all those cakes at once makes it seem really strange to call the baby It.
Second pic, the cute one with the owl, is obviously pseudo-German: ,,Ja, ja, ist a Boy. Das ist gut!!''
These are fun if you read each one in a different accent.
Cake 1 sounds Scottish: "Aye, tis a boy!
Cake 2 seems to be German.
Cake 3, current slang: "It's Bae!"
Cake 4: Ditto
Cake 5: Drunken middle aged hooker
Cake 6: Groot-ish
Cake 7: Vaguely racist 1930s movie portrayal of Asian house boy speak
Cake 8: Vaguely racist 1930's movie portrayal of contented slave speak
Cake 9: Themyscirian
Finaly, I'm done.
@SuBee - you nailed it. lol
What, no Yoda cake? A boy it is.
T'he jinder i's Boy,
it Be boy
Its is boys
I't's' a' b'o'y'?
On the next cake, they should combine the last 2, "I's just a boy!"
What cracks me up is how cute and well done the cakes are! The last one; well, in my family, we probably would have asked for it that way! "I's a boy, nots a girl!". Seriously, it hurts a teacher's eyes to read these sometimes!!!
Totally off topic...
Reading the old posts makes me miss the word verifications!
[Editor's note- I agree that they were super fun but they were also evil and didn't work half the time. However, for the rest of the day, I expect my old timers to incorporate WV into their comments. The word is: FLuRb. -john (the FLuRb of FLuRb)]
I think you're being very generous in saying they nailed "congratulations". It took me a minute to see anything but "conyrqiulations".
I know someone with two sets of twins, so, in some circumstances, the last cake *could* be appropriate...
Maybe with the second cake, it was supposed to read:"1st- a boy!"--implying that there are/could be more to come. How should we know? It could be followed by a nice "It a Gril" cake, down the road.=^~.-^=
Snips and snails
And Wreckulous fails...
That's what little boys are made of.
Wow, "Conyraiulations" is a new take that we haven't seen before.
Also, @Subee, you totally rock!
I think the second last one sounds right in a Newfoundland accent. Though the context is still wrong. And that last one! No Doubt's Just a Girl came to mind.
The owl looks like it's pooping. Those petals underneath are certainly strategically placed!
I'm "just a boy" standing in front of a cake, asking it to not be a wreck.
Well, clearly, the penultimate cake was going for a sea theme.
@Maya: Brava! Love the reference! I tip my FLuRb to you.
Some of those could be cakes for Tarzan and Jane's young companion, Boy.
OMG suebee you nailed it :D
I agree cake 2 wanted to be german and forgot. IST, is IS
@SuBee you are Su-FluRb!
All of these are LOL funny! Especially all together like this. Bravo!
"Ist a boy" not bad...in German, at least. "(es) ist ein Junge" means "(it) is a boy" :-)
*singa* Just a boy and a girl in a tippy canoe, with the moon shining all around!
Cake announced baby's gender (or sex),
But encountered the bakery hex.
When just to annoy
They wrote "I's a boy".
So we sent pictures in to CakeWrecks.
What the FluRb?!
Oh boy........Facepalming on a iPad.
I's a boy that just was born
I's a little baby
"I's a boy" that's what they wrote
They're from Newfoundland, maybe!
(sorry, first thing that popped into my head!)
But I wanted an gril! FluRb!!
Tarzan order cake.
Well at least we know that the baby is a boy lmao. Beats the gender reveal cake that revealed yellow cake inside and that was all. Still laughing at that one.
There once was a cake baking nerd,
Who quit, and said, "Do not disturb!"
But the parents insisted,
So the Baker persisted,
And the end result? Wow, what the flurb...
That owl cake is really adorable, and the writing is quite nice...shame about, you know, "ist."

FluRb: When you flub up and misspell the verb in the sentence, especially when the FluRb results in the verb being omitted (e.g. "It' A Boy")
Here's another vote for SuBee's comment. PERFECT! Pretty funny cakes too. So sad, so funny, so... wrecktacular!
Do Boris and Natasha work at bakeries #3 and 5?

Just a boy. And, in several years..."He's a man, he's just a man....." Thank you, Andrew Lloyd Webber.
For some reason, I read these all in a Russian accent, it just makes more sense that way.
@SueBee,You nailed it!!!!
I...uh...wha...help me now. That last one HURT. Just a boy? Really?
