Baby Gilbert Better Be The Pirate Ship, Is All I'm Saying
May 30, 2018 Warning: Fondant nipples ahead
(And I love my job.)
I've never had to tell anyone they're pregnant, but I like to think I'd do it with style.
You know, like this:
;)
Wait for it.
...
!
See, that's what we call a... PREGNANT PAUSE.
(Bonus points if it's not his birthday.)
Mom-to-be Anne wanted her bakery to really emphasize the "ARE," and boy did they:
;)
Please be a pirate please be a pirate pleasebeapirate.
Which brings me to something's that's not so much a pregnancy announcement as it is an object lesson in the importance of proper comma usage:
;)
YIKES.
And last but most disturbing, I decided to see if we have any "pirate baby" cakes in the ol' CW archives. You know, just to fit the theme.
Guys, my search DID NOT DISAPPOINT:
;)
One of you did this. ONE OF YOUUUUU.
::high five::
Thanks to Leah R., Anne M., Bradford C., & Brianna E., who should know that John and I did discuss censoring the top, but ultimately decided to Free The Nipple Carrot Jockeys.

They didn’t spell “aboard” right either.
Do these dimbulbs never stop to even consider the meaning of the words "ALL CAPS"??? Just how much of a numb skulled idiot does one have to be to get hired for one of these jobs?
I can't spell the word that comes do mind about the last cake, but I can sound it out....
SHHH
Nye
Keys......SHHHHNYEKEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF?!?!?! Who designs a cake like the last one and thinks that is an acceptable design?!?!?!?! Who???
Maybe the “All Caps” was meant as All pirate capitans!
That last cake is a perfect storm of wrecky-ness. I am in awe.
It's cakes like the last one that makes me weep for humanity. How is a cake like that appropriate for anything other than the garbage??? I"m desperately trying to find the humor in it, but holy guacamole...I just can't. It's disgusting.
Civilization really is on the decline. That monstrosity proves it.
Ugh.
“Aboard,” not “Abord”
The last cake needs sprinkles.
Is it my imagination, or are those mohawk babies that ride carrots on top of the nipples in the last one?
Umm, guys, the last cake is an intentional wreck, a salute to Cake Wrecks, and a very clever one. The other cakes deserve scorn. I rather like the idea of a pirate ship called the 'Baby Gilbert'. Maybe what they really meant was "Welcome aboard, baby. Gilbert." Punctuation changes everything.
I'm rather curious what a "Futire Pirate Hooker" might be. And even Google is confused!
Not that it makes the last cake any less wrecky but "Pirates" is a common name for a rugby team, and a hooker is a playing position in rugby (so it's a bit like saying "a future Raiders quarterback"). Still a gross wreck of a cake, but at leat that might explain some of it.
Happy Birthday Daddy. Jen, your comedy is darker than ever before. LOVE it!
The last one has SO much wrecky brilliance - naked baby mohawks sitting on nips, the lack of a comma in "Push Erin!" for starters. Love it!
It'd be even funnier if "Push Erin!" is NOT actually pregnant.
Oh these cakes lol. And that last one I have no words for that one at all my brain saw it and said nope lol.
I don't understand why some readers don't understand the madly clever homage to CW in that last one - it wins the week! Month!
That last one hadto be deliberate: please tell me there are chocolate sprinkles under the censor face....but if there are, I really don't need to see them. :p
