Spacing: The Final Wrecked Tier
February 23, 2016 To quote Taylor Swift, I've got a blank space, baby:
;)
But it's not big enough to write your name.
Sorry.
;)
The struggle... is real.
;)
And the balloons... are upside down.
;)
That moment when everyone wonders why you didn't just stop at "congrats."
;)
And that's how Bir Bir Th Day was born, kids.
But Seriously, This Is Getting Ridiculous:
;)
Thanks to Maria B., Jessica F., Carol L., Kaila N., Anony M., & Tiffany V. for being so on around the ball.

…and the new word of the day is; "Congoatiations". The definition must be; many gatherings of goats.
Sorry, that should have been; Congoatieations. (Silly me for misspelling that.)
Is that a real basketball in the last cake? Please tell me it ain't so.
Congraatiletimo to Darrell for receiving a cake with a new and improved spelling of "congralations!"
For what event does one order a "Withdrawn" cake? I certainly wouldn't want to break cake etiquette and order it for the wrong occasion.
The lack of embarrassment and/or the chutzpah of these wreckorators NEVER fails to amuse and amaze me! Especially the Ke*vin one... if they had dropped down JUST a bit a * would NOT have been necessary in the name. AUCK!
And for the record: The Tulips on the non-Congrats cake are.... well, fairly well done. Just sayin'
ROTFLMAO!
This warping of the space-time fabric and gravity would confound Einstein. :/
I read the badly spelled on as "Congratilatens." That's a new variation I haven't seen before. In horor of that, a duo of Haiku:
Such squished in piping
Makes you look ridiculous
Please learn how to space.
I would not pay up.
Bakers if you cannot spell,
Go to plumbing school.
Spacingc a nbe d iff icu

I can't believe bakeries actually expected people to pay for these things!
Ha! I love to laugh at myself-- I see my own typo above! At least I didn't put it on a cake and sell it though. :)
The "Eh, good enough," attitude reminds me of this photo.

I got excited when I read the title, but was disappointed to find that there were no Star Trek wrecks. Oh well, maybe next time.
Since my mamma always said "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything", I will say I really like the tulips.
I can't be the only one noticing that Porter, on the last cake, is celebrating a Brithday. Spacing and spelling challenges all at once.
I think it's Jodi for the win! I miss having haiku on a regular basis here....
Wow. I was so in awe of the writing on Darrell's cake, I did not even notice the balloons were upside down! That is the power of many errors on a wreck!
The daisies on Chris's cake look like they are made out of silly putty.
The Bir BirThDay cake makes me want to order one in celebration of "Attack of The The Eye Creatures".
Guess what I've been watching lately. :)
Happy Porter YadhtirB!!
:D
I suspect they are not upside down balloons on the 3rd cake but baby Darrell (?) was born with triorchidism.
Although if that is the case, the colours are extremely concerning! :-)
You did notice on the basketball cake that Brithday isn't the way to spell Birthday? LOL
I love these!
The balloons are not upside down. They are merely filled with air, not helium. (There's a shortage. Don't you watch "The Big Bang Theory"?)
@Jodi: I thought you had intentionally coined a new word!
Horor: Recognition of something terrible.
Ex: "In horor of all these mithspellings..."
I agree that it would be really good to know the occasion for the "Withdrawn" cake. "You didn't graduate, but at least you didn't flunk out"? "We're really glad you're not procreating"? "You're depressing as heck, but at least you don't inflict it on us"?
Spacing Wreck: The Wrath of Kern(ing)
Maybe Porter is Jewish and he's actually only eight days old!
Gasping for breath as I am laughing so hard. Oh my gosh I haven't laughed that hard in ages. I probably scared neighbors lol.
Attack of the The Bir Birthday Cake :P
I think the "Withdrawn" cake could be for library staff celebrating the end of a gruelling week of identifying all the out-of-date and badly damaged books that need to be taken out of circulation.
Or for a lawyer who keeps making pointless objections just to buy thinking time.
Or a general whose army has finally moved out of the war zone they never wanted to go into.
So many uses, I'm surprised we've never seen it before!
How to tell a cake decorated in the five minutes before the customer comes to pick it up: the staff don't have time to LOOK AT THE BLOODY CAKE and make sure there's room for the inscription! All it takes is a minute to plot it out! Really? Sure, just run the words off the edge of the cake. They're just gonna eat the thing anyway, right? [/sarcasm]
Lovely Tulips here
Spacing Issues and why piping?
Chris is not amused
Withdrawn: library staff retirement.
Balloons: not upside down. Writing upside down.
Balloon cake, tulip cake. Pre-decorated in case, then quickly written on with disasterous results.
I thought the first one said "Go Satan". O.o
Ahhh! I don't check the site for months and now I find my submission. Woohoo!
And yes, Beti was right, the WITHDRAWN cake was for a librarian's retirement party. They comped me and gave me a new cake though.
