A Failure To Communicate, Vol. 243

I like how the only thing legible is the one word NOT supposed to be there:

Erin K. wanted her daughter's cake to be oriented vertically, or portrait-style, but the baker wasn't getting it.

"You know, the long way?"

*headdesk*

When you want a big 75, NOT a "big 75."

Can I quote you on that?

In fact, a lot of butchered instructions end up as new nick names:

Give up?

They wanted "thank you" written in pink.

And this one didn't want any gel icing:

Here's a blast from the past: a Historical Society hosted a "President's Tea."

Thank goodness they weren't screening old 80s TV shows there, too!

Can you imagine if it'd been the "President's Tea & A-Team Party?"

Now imagine, if you will, the ordering process that resulted in this cake:

I'm picturing a Monty Python sketch, myself.

"No, I want you to STAY HERE, and write the names underneath!"

"So I'm to write these names twice and capitalize 'Underneath.' Got it."

"No, no, it's quite simple. Write 'Happy Birthday' once, and the names underneath."

"If, if, uh... If, if, uh... Oh! Can I write the names three times... IF I use extra sprinkles?"

"AAAAAAUUGH!"

Do you ever get the feeling that many of these bakers were dropped on their heads as children - repeatedly?

It's the fourth cake that gets me. Why would anyone send a "thank you" cake to Jar-Jar, the most annoying character ever in the Star Wars universe?

[Shirley]

It would seem these cake decorators' brains are just as scrambled as their writing skills.

[Heather]

We could all use a Binks in our life I think.

[mindy1]

I think some of these bakers are in possession of nothing but a brain stem...how else can you explain this?

[MM]

Number 1 is legible if you zoom in. It says Cheerio retirement.

[Steve]

'Cheers to retirment'? Is that what is says?

[Lady Anne]

The only time they follow directions is when they shouldn't! Argh!

[pat gann]

And a Cheerato Pretirement to you, too! Hmm. Pretirement should be a thing!

[Arlene Marie]

Someone retired at least I think they did on that first cake. Can't even figure out if it says cheersto or cheetos lol.

[krunchifrog]

The last cake burned down, fell over and then sank into the swamp!

[Mike]

Huh? “Cheeratio Ptierement?”
