Take A Bow, Then Take Notes, Bakers
April 3, 2017 ♫ Why is there so much stuff
Wrong with this rainbow?
;)
And what's with the spiky side?
;)
♪ Rainbows have colors
In a certain order
;)
But rainbows have no black to hide
♫ Still these are sold
and if you can believe it
;)
There's more in this song, wait and see!
;)
♪ Someday we'll find one
A rainbow confection
;)
The bakers, Vince Vega, and me:
Thanks to Anony M., Becca C., Leslie R., Aimee S., Bethany K., Judy C., and all of these bakers for making Kermit cry. You monsters.

Gee thanks Jen, guess what's going to be stuck in my head all day now - lol. Love it!
Boy, that was a surprise ending. Actually did make me lol. Well done.
1st time writer - long time reader :)
Your posts are great! But, am I mistaken, or is the 4th "rainbow" labelled as Deli Rotiserrie Chicken?? I've never seen chicken dressed up like a rainbow before.
APPLAUSE! The wrecks by themselves are pretty meh, but the song makes this post.
Methinks there needs to be some sort of bakery certification, that way people who claim to be pros, will have to be able to PROVE it.
This definitely calls for a KERMIT FLAIL!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure I'm not the only one sitting in front of a computer warbling: ♫La-li-la, LAH-li-la-lah...♪
(I'm not, am I?)
I never knew there were square rainbows. (pic. 5)
Is the wreckreator in a cubist phase???
(Making Kermit cry...shame, shame, shame.)
@movemama: That is from The-Store-That-Must-Not-Be-Named (I recognize their labels) & it's not the description of the actual product. If you look closely, it says above "Why Cook Tonight?" All of their in-store products have a label urging you to buy their rotisserie chicken, of which they appear particularly proud, for some reason.
Yay!
Hah! @movemama: It's probably one of those newfangled "genetically engineered" wrecks. As Forrest Gump says, "Life is like a box of wrecks...you never know what you're gonna get."
=^~.-^=
Thank yo for the earworm Jen! I don't mind, cuz I'm a wreck-a-holic, gotta have my fix every day! That 4th wreckbow is a CCC (ptooie) and labeled as rotisserie chicken. Wrecked every way possible. Insert Kermit Flail here!
Kudos for a well-placed Vince Vega.
I freely admit that I heard Kermit singing this entire post. And playing the banjo. Thanks for the earworm!
I grinned like a fool the whole way through that, and sang it out loud! When I got to Vincent Vega I squealed! Perfect reaction GIF. The first one reminds me of the Java Muppet.
We've seen the rotisserie chicken label before. This place seems to advertise them on their other goods, regardless of whether the mental combination of flavours is appropriate. However, it is evident that sense is not their strong point.
Could those spiky things on Cake 2 be the sunshine rays?!
Apparently, these wreckerators never heard that saying that "Goggle Is Your Fraind" when looking for pitchers of Rainbow (connections.)
MoveMama: if you are reading this:
The sticker on cake #4 probably says something like 'why cook tonight? Deli rotisserie chicken" It's a way to squeeze in advertising for that store. Hey, you need some dinner to go with that dessert.
Thanks, movemama -- I missed that label!
Also, that "chicken" is a CCC - so more ick on the whole thing!
Movemama, you are correct. It IS labeled a rotissiere chicken LOL! Too funny.
And, Jen, THANKS for the earworm. You know I sang it all tbe way through. Again . And again. Ahhhhhh!
Movemama - You are correct. Sadly, sadly correct.
That said... What, exactly, do bakers find so difficult about ROYGBIV? I mean, seriously. Six-year-olds can successfully memorize this... **sigh**
What's wrong with the first rainbow - well to start with, it is made of cupcakes....
I guess they didn't learn about ROY G BIV that colorful guy!
Oh yes... !
I agree with Julie: KERMIT FLAIL is imperative!!
=^-.-^=
Really how hard is it to work out the color order for a rainbow, ROY G BIV - of course in our house (geek central) we learned the color codes for resistor values as well so perhaps that is what they were going for here. That would make #1 mean something like 6624 #2=632506 #3=0625 ... nope doesn't make any more sense - think I will go back to singing along with Kermit.
These could all pass as angry or depressed slinkys lol. Especially the spiked one . Man wreckerators need to go outside more if they can't tell what a rainbow looks like.
I just showed the first one to my red-green color blind husband, and he asked what was wrong with it. I said it was mostly blue and yellow, and he said that that was what rainbows look like. Thank goodness my husband doesn't decorate cakes.
Yet more proof that hiring color blind cake decorators is not a wise business decision.
I can totally imagine Animal's reaction to this post?
"CAKE WRECK! CAKE WRECK"!" *bangs drums*
The last post even has great color, so for the love of cakes- WHY?! For all you ROY G BIV commenters, I am teaching my 4 1/2 year old (who is really into rainbows) this concept. =D
LOVE IT!!!! <Kermit flail> Yaaaaaayyyyy!!!
