OH BOY
August 14, 2017 How hard is it to write, "It's a boy"?
LET'S FIND OUT.
;)
Oooh, so close.
;)
Less close.
;)
No...
;)
"Bay?" Really?
;)
And yet they nailed "congratulations."
;)
[massaging temples] Two tries, both wrong.
;)
[forehead on keyboard] Well, the "A" is back...
;)
Woohoo!
And finally, the wreckiest version of "It's A Boy" I've seen yet - and which I promise I am not making up:
;)
Ouch.
Thanks to Ashley L., Alison U., Laura M., Suzanne L., Karin A., Heather C., Cat W., Kayla F., Melissa H., & Jill D. for finally finding something worse than the "Finally A Boy" debacle of '08.

I read ; conyrqiulations on that cake with the black spider legs sticking out all around it. How is that "nailing it"?
They nailed "congratulations" - to a wall: congraiulations.
Just a boy? Maybe a Who fan?
"It's a Bay"
Maybe they had a horse.
Perhaps the second on is actually written half in German and half in English?
When they wrote "Just a boy", they ran out of space for "I'm so sorry".
The owl cake is pretty awesome but it looks like they were trying to write "1st" instead of "it's", not that that would make any sense either! But hey, good penmanship at least. :)
On #8, "I's A Boy", I keep hoping maybe it was done in Newfoundland, where the local dialect often uses "I's". However, people who pronounce that usually also say "b'y", as in "I's The B'y" (an actual local song), so maybe not.
If i’ts a boy
Id’ scream for joy,
For Iv’e been wishi’n
For one for so long!
If it’is a bay,
Well what can I say’
But if i’s a boy
Il’l jump for joy,
If it’s’ a boy,
If it a’ boy,
Just a boy.
Coda: Ist a boy!
Why is there a spoon decorating the top of the first cake?
Maybe that last one is for a family that has boys already and were hoping for a girl. Even so. . .
Oh for heaven's sake Shirley! (first post). It's a joke! The baker didn't 'nail it', they made numerous mistakes. It's called irony. If you don't understand that, then you're wasting your time with Cake Wrecks.
They put Old Bay seasoning in the cake.
I's a boy.
I's A boy who builds 'da boat
I's A boy who sails 'er
I's Aboy who catches the fish
And brings 'dem home to Liza
The second to last cake: the baker must have been from Newfoundland
Was thinking that the 3rd cake was for Jane & Tarzan'S 2nd son. Now they have Boy & It Boy.
I'm just a boy waiting for a cake to announce me.
I's a boy is a transgender celebration cake.
I'm just a boy
Standing in front of a baker
Asking him to spell it's correctly.
I want a Tarzan cake that says "It Boy"
I need the "I's a Boy" cake. :D
I a boy, too
The second cake is channeling some German perhaps? Although then it should say "Es ist ein junge"
......Hmmmm.'
=^-.-^=
I got it, Shirley.
Well I am now laughing so hard my husband probably thinks I lost whatever I had left of my mind lol. I am sure the poor customers didn't find these as funny as I do and I hope they didn't pay for em lol.
Gee, Hannah, rude much?
it seems so simple, but they mess it up anyway.
Did anyone else read the ones missing the "a" in a Russian accent? "Got it, is boy. I write on cake."
