March 25, 2016 A few of my favorite submissions this week.
First, let me clear up a couple of things with these late St. Paddy's subs.
ATTN BAKERS:
1) This is not how you build "character"
;)
Mmm. Cactus-y.
2) Worms are never appetizing.
;)
Like, never ever ever.

Speaking of character cakes, does anyone else think Mickey Mouse had work done?
;)
I mean, that nose is definitely a little smaller.
This bakery told Helen her cake had no room for writing, but they *could* give her a "Happy Birthday" plaque to stick on top. She agreed...
....and got this:
;)
BONUS REACTION SHOT:
;)
Our thoughts exactly.
And lastly, Shannon asked her bakery to write "Happy Birthday From" and then use a graphic of her company's logo.
And would you believe THEY DID?! - except with one small, un-asked-for addition:
;)
Let's zoom in, shall we?
;)
High-five, Shannon's baker. HIGH FIVE.
Thanks to Jenny S., Karen R., Deanna B., Helen G., & Shannon J. for the new life goals.

Well, of course you have to serve pile-o-worms with parsley garnish.
And, as for Helen's cake: well, plaque IS yellow, and this will have to be scraped off one's teeth, but it should be done more than once a year, don't you think?
I now know the truth
"Three Square" equals blissful joy
Everyone gets cake
Cake four: this calls for...Pepsodent!
Looks to me like the Joker went to Disney World and got a pair of mouse ears.
And "Happy Birthday Plaque" is what they say at the dentist office when it's been a year since your last cleaning.
I read Jen's credit at the end too quickly, and thought it said "Thanks to (names)...for the new life goats." That was the best part....even if it was only in my head. The cakes didn't weather well for me. I'd say a blah, with a good chance of ugh. Good job!!!. =^~.~^=
I suspect it was inevitable... not only do wreckerators have difficulty deciphering customers' instructions, they even have difficulty when faced with faced with instructions from someone on their end who offered it as a solution.
Three Square: Together, we can feed everyone...Cake!
THAT should be their new logo.
The St Patty's one definitely has eyes, a terrifying mouth (with teeth), and creepy salad fingers-esque hands.
I say "Well done, Shannon's baker. Well done."
And Three Square should most definitely use that on the cover of their annual report.

As a decorator for the chain that the "Happy Birthday Plaque" came frome, I'm scratching my head at how that could have been misinterpreted. We all know what it means. Also, did the customer not look at the cake before they bought it? That's a pretty easy fix (unless of course the thought it was funny and kept it, in which case, good on you, awesome customer, for having a sense of humor!)
Um that berry cake. Am I the only one icked out by the idea of getting a mouthful of stems and leaves.
At least "plaque" is spelled correctly? I got nothin'.
I'm racking my brain, but I have no idea what #2 is supposed to be. Am I the only one? Can someone help me?
@Celest
My opinion is #2 is a mug of beer. Or a mug of something. No idea what.
As for #1, I saw it out of my peripheral vision first and thought it was some space vehicle from Star Wars, except, you know, green. And cake.
1) Hey, Three Squares: The Cake Is A LIE!!!!
2) I'm truly, um... Happy?... to know that St. Patrick's Day is such a universal holiday that it's also celebrated in the alternate dimension from which the Kaiju, (and evidently this cake), originate...
WHAT are those tiny tentacly things on the extremities of the St. Pat's Day Cactus?
My first thought was that Mickey was wearing a black brassiere on his head. I almost missed the nose job.
Where are some of you getting cake #2 is a "mug of beer" from? CLEARLY, it's a mug of worms just like Jen said!...with a parsley garnish - as Shirley pointed out! ;)
The first looks like the imprisoned abomination from Skyward Sword, only green.
Did Marie Antoinette order that last cake???
I can't stop laughing!!!!!!
That's not Mickey Mouse. That's CLEARLY the lead singer from Insane Clown Posse. Sheesh.
I recognized the "plaque" cake. It's from the Publix Bakery, a Chantilly Cake, and it is really delicious, I know because I had a piece last night. My granddaughter turned 13 and for her birthday cake she wanted that cake with all the fruit. She opted for candles instead of a "plaque", how boring
Does that ''plaque' - or 'plague'? Because I read tha latter, and immediately went:
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, dear Black Death,
Happy Birthday to you!
Because even Y. pestis likes to have its existence acknowledged...
Okay, the comment about Mickey wearing a black bra on his head set me off and now I can't stop laughing.
And I was already giggling from the Let them eat Cake reference on the last cake.
Oh well, at least I didn't spray the computer with Diet Coke from laughing this time! Progress!
I first read 'Happy Birthday plaque' as 'Happy Birthday plague'
Excuse me, but I believe that second cake is a large serving of a Klingon delicacy; since it was not originally spelled with our alphabet, the closest spelling is approximately "Gagh."
Cake no. 4 looks awfully like Happy Birthday Plague . And I'm not here for plague on my cake .
Well they made sure to have room to write plaque on it so obviously they could do it the right way if they wanted to lol. Oh well at least the cake looked edible.
Birthday plaque! I'm laughing so hard that most commenters read plague. We are a different bunch, are we not?
The cactus cake, I feel bad for, and the beer head worms are the stuff of my nightmares. Yikes.
#1 Most people (who have heard of him) think Louis Wain only painted cats. But when the cats got tired of licking the paint out of their fur and headed elsewhere, Wain turned to leprechauns, with the result seen here.
#2 I was thinking perhaps intestines (or the occasional reverse byproduct from a bit further up the digestive tract), but worms is a bit easier to accept.
#3 Not bad for someone who has never seen Mickey.
#4 "Oops -- I promised the customer a plaque and we're out!"
W2: "Don't worry -- I got this."
