August 6, 2015 When bakers choose to wreck for a spell:
;)
I like the slightly exasperated tone: "Well, come back."
;)
Heck yeah - and I'll take A BIG ONE, pls.
Funnily enough, if you sound it out this kind of works:
;)
Bay-B? Eh?
I like to use the made-up word "embiggen" sometimes - it's just fun and silly, like "adorkable" or grown women wearing rompers. So needless to say, this made me grin:
;)
"In the bigening, there were no rompers, high-waisted jeans, or ironically ginormous glasses. And it was good."
Ok, wreckies, let's see if you can figure out this one on your own:
;)
;)
Rittens = rampaging kittens, right?
("Possible side effects include sneezing, tiny scratches, and erectile dysfunction.")
And finally:
;)
Hear, hear!

Those were fun and entertaining, Bay-b
I'm sorry, but bakeries have just got to stop hiring Grade 3 drop-outs.
#2 was obviously for a quilter.
Glad they have good "rittens", whatever they may be. Can you imagine what would happen if they went sour?
I wonder what "you and audios" did to deserve such wrecky thanks.
I would like to know what dangerous job the person has who is being congratulated for not dying...
My guess is the fifth one was supposed to be something like "Congrats on not dying for another year". Which is still a bit... off. Who goes to a birthday party and says "Hey, Grandma, you didn't kick the bucket yet! Good for you!!!"
Can't sit down for cake with Grandma's foot in your rear. Just sayin'...
A noble spirit embiggens the wreckiest cake.
And I choose to believe (perhaps erroneously) that my end is not a new, or any kind of a, bigening.
Goodbye, Jon Stewart. We'll miss you.
These actually make me weep for humanity.
Again for them SPELLCHECK!!!! Bay-b!
Aaaaaaand now I have the "Welcome Back Kotter" theme swirling around in my head. Thanks a lot well comers!
Tell you why the recipient of Cake no.1 was on his way out. He spotted that the baker had sneezed over the cake, wiped some (but not all) of the resulting mess off,wrote on it any old how, then stuck on an iced whoopie pie and sprayed icing around to try to improve matters.
Doesn't your heart bleed for whoever iced the decorations on that last cake, before the person with the purple icing bag got their hands on it?
I am soooo confused. Dying? Doing? These wreckorators (wreckeraters?) are reading lolcats too much! Jen, is it possible to mithspell a made-up word?
The first one is just dying for a little Southern touch. "Well, come back, y'all." Except I would be afraid of what a wreckerator might do with "y'all" ...
If you sound it out, THIS sort of works, too : R theez rekkoratorz higherd strate owt uv kindergardin?
Hey! Know what'd be fun? Post the wrecks with the lights OFF! Then, we'd have to try to FEEL how bad they look. Although...I can't really see that working. =^-.-^=
Those make me despair for this country.
But actually, "embiggen" is a real word from Shakespeare's time.

It's "good riddance" -- to badly spelled cakes, I presume.
I don't know why people don't use embiggen. It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
OMG! In between wiping the tears from my eyes I've got to agree with Nagzilla - OH THE HUMANITY! And with Valarie too - Doing ? Dying? Would someone actually put on a cake "Congrats!" for "not dying"? Anything is possible I suppose. And the "rittens" and "Audios" OMG! STOP! I'm laughing WAY too hard!
I admit, I do address (in emails and letters) my sweetie as "Bay-Bee" some times...but not usually in public and I would probably not do it on a cake...but her birthday is soon, so that may change... LOL!
Paging Dr. Dorian! Scrubs FTW!! That Mrs. Wilk episode gets me every time.
"Every End is a N[o]w Bigening"
Are you saying I've got a fat bottom?
We make the rockin' world go 'round, you know.
In the UK, "ginormous" is spelled "ginourmous."
True story.
Well, come back
To that same old wreck
That you cringed about
Well, come back
'Cause every end is
A New Bigening now
Well, the cakes
Have all changed
Since the bayb shower.
Congrats on not
Dien another year.
Who’d have thought
We’d need to
(Who’d have thought

Spellcheck “Peace be with you?”
(Spellcheck “Peace be with you?”)
Yeah, they wreck them a lot.
Good Rittens to the sot
Well, come back
Well, come back
Well, come back
Well, come back
Audios has left the building!
The number two comes in Springfield, Glock, or Ruger, and, yes, we do give S&W green stamps.
YES!!!!! Rittens should = rampaging kittens!!! it reminds me of a metal song I wrote once about kitten rage!
and more yes for the Scrubs reference!! that was the single most geniously hilarious moment of that entire series for me. I think it was the only time it ever made me belly laugh for five minutes straight, and there were tears running down my face. . . it was fantastic :)
Oh boy. I guessed the cake was a congrats to not dying another year but what on earth would possess them to have that on a birthday cake? Lol. Wow just wow.
I read that cake as "Babe." "Bayb."
Re not dying (or should that be "dien"): One of my favourite birthday songs (for people who don't take themselves too seriously) is this one by The Arrogant Worms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jdIa54WRDo
It contains the line, "Happy Birthday, you did not accomplish much, but you didn't die this year, I guess that's good enough"
And, rather apropos for Cake Wrecks, the penultimate line is: "But your friends are hungry so just cut the stupid cake"
Miss Paper, I just recently "celebrated" my 18 year anniversary of my type one diabetes diagnosis, and I really wanted a cake that said "Congrats on Not Dying" (btw, that's not my cake up there). Maybe they're celebrating still being alive whilst dealing with a potentially life-threatening illness? At least, that's why I would want that inscription on a cake :-D
I hope #4 ends up in the next Ms. Marvel.
