If Only The Bakers Could Go Back...
August 24, 2015 Is everyone back to school now? Yes? Oh, good.
Ahem hem hem.
STAY IN THERE, KIDS.

If this isn't grounds for keeping art in school, then I don't know what is.
And my personal favorite:

Thanks to Sarah S., Ashley W., Kerry F., Ashley N., Montse L., & Stephanie C. for inspiring one last ode to education:
Going back
Sinking in despair
Here's mud in your keyboard

Comme les enfants retournent
Pour faire collage
Oh, that 4th one is just .... so.... sad. The only thing that would make it a more perfect wreck would be for it to be a CCC
The collage one reminded me of a college class where the instructor spent a good 15 minutes explaining to the class just what a collage was. (Yes, he had to explain it to Juniors. In College) And then he wrapped the whole thing up by saying, "But if you want to, you know, just print out what you want to say on a piece of paper and tape that to a poster board, that will work too!" I facepalmed big time right there in class. After I picked my jaw up off the floor. And yes, one student did just exactly that for his collage.
"Collage Bound" is a good cake for someone preparing to attend art school.
I guess I don't have to submit my picture of #4 after all :) Nice to know there's a fellow wreckie in my area!
(That or more than one store has this monstrosity... which is sadly likely)
Who Ray!!!
Muahahahaaaa
Our town just repainted all the school crossings on the streets. In front of the high school, they painted the "c" in "school" backwards.
Sigh.
Bwah, @Elissa! How sad.
Who Ray! to everyone. Happy Monday!
To give credit where credit is due, that school bus cake is indeed yellow. Who Ray!
LOVE the Jumping Jen!
1) Someone is a fan of "Shoo!"? As in "shoo fly, don't bother me"? Hmmkay. Takes all kinds.
2) And really, don't we all hope to be good by summer?
3) Not sure Who Ray is, but I'm glad he's going back to school.
4) Well, at least it's properly spelled.
5) Perfect interpretation of that cake. Thank you, Jen!
6) As my sister says, "Ain't that some shtuff?"
Who dat? Dat Ray. Who Ray?
That last one makes me want to yell, "Artax!"
When I looked at the second one, I thought it said "Good By Swimmer" ... guess I can't read.
I think Who Ray! is the answer to the perennial question Who Dat?
By the end of this post I found myself doubting how to spell school... :-/
Who Ray for cake wrecks! Being something of a spelling and grammar freak, these made me both cringe and laugh at the same time!! Let's hope our teachers do a better job of educating the next generation of cake decorators.
In the fourth grade, I lost a class spelling bee because I spelled college as c o l l a g e. I've never forgotten and I've never spelled it wrong a cake.
I thought the second one sounded like a hit single: "Good", by Summer.
They're not all back in school yet. Mine go back Sept. 9th (NYC - we're also the last ones out). I'm sure you can find some more back to school wrecks to post then too.
"Goodby" or "good-by" are actually correct (though archaic) spellings of "goodbye". Maybe the wreckorator had just finished reading a Jane Austen novel?
@SuBee - j'aime votre petit poème. :-)
Chicago, if you can't read, then I can't read,because I read "Good By Swmmer." Which was awkward, with all those consonants in a row.
In defense of shool. Megamind made it work.
Who Ray! I think he was Cindy Lou Who's Uncle....
The commentary for that last one is almost a haiku of misery:
Going back, sinking
In despair - here's mud in your
Keyboard. 'Mud' cake, huh?
Going back, sinking
In despair - here's mud in your
Keyboard. School - then death.
Going back, sinking
In despair - here's mud in your
Keyboard. Nooooooo! Aaaaartaaaaaax!
Going back, sinking
In despair - here's mud in your
Keyboard. Dead kittens.
One-wheel, collage-bound
Bus will be good by suimmer
Who Ray! I (heart) shool.
Is the decoration on that red cupcake a pencil or a school bus? Or a shool bus? Maybe a shul bus, taking everyone to temple?
Well these wreckerators really need to go back to school that's for sure lol.
Oh, I don't know-perhaps #4 is supposed to be an artistic close-up of a school bus. The fact that the window is rather blob-like, the wheel (on the bus) is smeared, and the writing is perfunctory and unimaginative doesn't mean that it's not artistic, right?!?
*sigh* I tried, nameless wreckorator, I really did.
@Becka -- you're not the only one!
Even my 6 year old looked at #4 and said, "That does NOT look like a school bus!"
I think the "Good by Siummer" one is a hopeful promise that the baker will learn to handle homophones, including that tricky "By/Bye/Buy" one, by the end of the school year. Hopefully the spelling of the seasons will be taught as well.
Blinding yellow light.
Is it a DeStijl? Too late!
Exotropia.
Funny thing is that the first one almost is correct. It should have been spelled "shul" though,which can be usd for another word for synagogue
Okay, hands up if, like me, you had to go and look up 'exotropia'?
@Dr Handle: No, but I did have to look up De Stijl.
Honestly, the 'School bus' one and the last one look like minimalist art. That's also a cake. Which wasn't intended to be minimalist art.
I'm Stephanie C! How exciting! I never thought one of my pics would be used. Who Ray!
I appreciate that the designer of #1 is such a pious Jew, but they spelled "shul" wrong.
Why is the school bus a yellow square with a giant black hole in it? Maybe the bus is being sucked into a bottomless vortex?
It apparently ended up in the quagmire everything is sinking into in the last cake.
