Stick A Pick In It

"...and to avoid any possible mistakes, instead of any writing on the cake I'd like you to just use one of those plastic 'Happy Birthday' picks, please."
"No, no, I don't want you to write it, I want you to use one. You know, the 'Happy Birthday' sticks? Yes. One of those."
"Maybe I'm using the wrong word. Um... do you have a decorative plaque you put on cakes? One that says 'Happy Birthday'? Because that's all I want. Really. Just that!"

"See, now you just wrote 'pick' again."
"Aha! Well, you DID use some birthday plaques this time. But see, that's all I want! No writing, just one plain 'Happy Birthday' plaque."
"I feel like we're going in circles here.
"Tell you what, forget the sticks, picks, and plaques, k? Go ahead and write happy birthday. JUST HAPPY BIRTHDAY. That's it. Got it?"

I'm being plagued by a plaque!
Man, those floor sweepings dumped over the last cake really give it that certain...something. It sure ain't je nais se quoi, that's for sure!
I admit that I giggled at the stupidity. Know why? They're FUNNY. Real (I hope) people do these!
(Right....?)
The next to last could have been very lovely if the wreckorator hadn't plaqued all over it.
=^-.-^=
OK now, I can NOT be the only one who is impressed/surprised that all of these cakes have all the words spelled correctly. Number 5 is iffy, though, because "plaque" almost looks like "plague". Or is that because of the red rash on the top?
Second one from the top would have been a winner if the message hadn't been taken so literally. Fourth one from the top- looks like some kind of weird skin disease, eeewww!
I thought it said 'plague' too! ๐๐๐๐๐
You guys have got it all wrong. These are just as they're supposed to be. The "Happy Birthday Pick" ones are for guitarists. The "Happy Birthday Stick" ones are for skinny people. And the "Happy Birthday Plaque" ones are for dentists. Mystery solved.
Give #3 some credit - spelled it plaque and not plague.
Cake #3:
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, Y. pestiiiiiiiis,
Happy Birthday to you!
Not only did they not stick the landing, most missed the mark on decorations.
Love the wonky pink crown, very classy.

Could we please, please, PLEASE institute some kind of intelligence test for any prospective cake decorators? Pretty please with frosting on top?
