One Line Horror Stories
October 24, 2018 I haven't kept up: Do people still do that thing on Twitter where they write horror stories in only 144 characters? Or did the politics get so scary that no one could tell the difference? (HEYOO.)
Anyway, I always liked the idea of fitting as much story into as few words as possible, so let's see if BAKERS can scare us in, say, 10 words or less. Eh?
BEGIN.
"You know, most of that is technically edible."
;)
(It's the ones that are true that are the most terrifying.)
"What misspellings?"
;)
;)
"Everyone can relax, I fixed it!"
;)
"That'll be $65.99."
;)
And perhaps the most frightening thing of all to hear from a baker:
"Hey, can I borrow your shoe?"
;)
(Yes it's a real shoe. Because of course it is.)
Thanks to Michelle L., Susan G., Alyssa M., & Anony M. for putting her friend's best foot forward.

My very favorite thing about today's post is that the pink camo monstrosity is the DISPLAY. This is the best possible outcome when you order that cake.
And my own scary story: I have twin special-needs daughters.Trump is president. I win.
Love the GIF choices. XD The cakes on the other hand... D:
1) I'm trying to decide. Is this a gift for the Blue Man Group? Or is this the iceberg that sunk the Titanic?
2) I don't see a problem here. Chang is obviously a last name. (I think his initials are P.F.) And he's from a land called Comand. Don't ask me where it is. You'll have to look it up yourself.
3) Jen, your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to find out over the years how many different ways bakers have tried to spell "congradulations". um, "congratulatons", er, "congratalations". Oh, never mind!
4) With all the lines on the side, this cake must be celebrating the Stars and Stripes...forever.
5) With this disaster, this baker has proven he's not instep with the times, is a real heel, can't toe the line with what the customers want and must have sold his sole to the devil. Someone needs to give him the boot.
Hello. I'm Captain Chang and I'm your Commander for today. You may call me....
All of this made me laugh. But for some reason what’s cracking me up most is “Mr. ARCHITECT!” with the lowercase ‘r’ and the steadily increasing letter size as the word goes on. =-)
Is the blue cake wrapped in ... paper? What is that?
David Tennant will always be my favorite Doctor.
Please, PLEASE tell me that last one isn't really done by a *ahem* professional.......please?
Gosh, it's hard to decide which of the pink cakes is worse.
I think my…*platform*…would be to outlaw all pink cakes. I'm a shoe-in for the job, yes?
That shoe is actually a scotch-tape dispenser from Office Depot. I gave the exact same one to my sister. It has a matching post-it note dispenser purse.
I think SaraCVT wins for the scariest horror story. Trump is frightening beyond belief...
