Not-So-Basic Instructions
April 12, 2017 There's a certain creativity to literal LOLs - a kind of "outside the box" thinking that never fails to impress me. The kind that says, "Oh, you want the words written in purple? THEN THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WILL WRITE."
"But not necessarily in that color."
Also, it turns out those are not garbage bags in a windstorm.
You might think it would help to spell out the name for a birthday cake, but that's not always the case - as "Alison with one L" discovered:
;)
Wait for it... waaaiit for it...
And lest you think it's better to write it down - and perhaps add a helpful footnote:
;)
NOPE.
Adding a P.S. is never a good idea, either:
;)
The fact is, sometimes wreckerators just have a hard time getting the picture:
;)
Or maybe they just really stink at drawing.

I cannot believe the last cake is real! I hope no one had to pay for the cake.
When decor you wish to elicit
It's best to be clear and expicit
Though when dealing with cake
Dear, please make no mistake
Your baker will probably miss it
In the first cake I read alli, which means here in Spanish. I didn't saw the n for the "all in".
Literal with bad spelling. Oy! o.0
And those aren't trash bags?! Double oy! 0.o
Wow, it boggles my mind that the bakers can actually look at these finished cakes and think "yes, that's good, that's exactly what the person wanted". P.S. they left the apostrophe out of "yall" but I'd sure love to meet Uncle Mouse!
Who's the guy who loves his cake
As sprinkled as can be
It's U-N-C-L-E M-O-U-S-E
Who's the guy who's glad his cake
Is all asterisk free
It's U-N-C-L-E M-O-U-S-E
"Uncle" Mouse
"Uncle" Mouse
At least a post script didn't ruin his cake
CAKE! CAKE! CAKE!
Join us now and wonder
Why these cakes were not all free
For U-N-C-L-E M-O-U-S-E
Yeah, "Uncle!"
Yeah, "Uncle!"
Yeah, "Uncle" Mouse!!!!!
Did you notice that the Diane one actually says "Happy Biuthday Diare"? They manage to get two humps on that first R and only one on the N...
@ SuBee NAILED IT!
These are some hysterical cakes. Especially the last one. I mean.... why would you want a picture of a mouse on a cake for your "uncle" anywho? I don't get it. Must be some kind of "family" inside joke.
Yall.... what is that? You have to ask because NO apostrophe! Another ROTFLMAO!
* Yeah. You need that "n" in there so "Diane" is not "Diaie" Too funny.
CAKEWRECKS rules!
The got the mouse droppings on the last cake correct -just forgot to add the mouse!
Once you see the red ball sack on that first cake...you really cant unsee that...
I think the decorator thought they were referring to the great boxer and those were punching bags 😂😂 Nope and Nope
This level of stupidity shouldn't be able to walk around breathing.
Third cake: "CLEAN UP ON AISLE FOUR! Someone sneezed on a cake! (Muttering sounds) "No, no...just mark it down!!!"
=^-.-^=
First cake: Red and blue make purple, right? Oh, so close... And I thought "alli" was a weight loss product.
Last cake: Uncle Stanley had always been told he was the "picture of health"...
DARN close, on the pink "p.s". cake.
The flowers are fine, I thought...pretty little swirls...
The inside?
There could be hurls.
=^-.-^=
Oh Common Sense and Intelligence! You two are a couple that went on your honeymoon and never returned! There's a secluded beach somewhere and these two are frolicking on it with all the beautiful, perfectly executed cakes.
Perhaps Alison was just accepted to law school, making her a "1-L"?
I've said it before, just leave off the writing. All of these (well, maybe with the exception of the garbage sack one) are acceptably decorated.
Oh man those are hilarious. Now I feel bad for the poor deflated balloons cause that's what they look like to me lol.
