This One's For Ken
February 6, 2019 Patricia L. asked for "musical things" like notes and bass clefs on her friends' birthday cake.
She got this:
;)
Sing it with me, now:
"I knew you weren't treble when you walked in
So shame on you, yeah!"
:D

The baker told Kimberley F. her cake was too small to fit "happy birthday" on it, so Kimberly said,
"Well, since my sister is turning 45 you can just put a big four and five on it, instead."
;)
"four and five" = 11 letters
"happy birthday" = 13 letters

And finally, to this day, Mary and Gus still don't know who Ken is:
;)
What do you know, Ken?
WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!
Thanks to Patricia, Kimberley, & Mary and Gus for keeping the mystery alive.

"four and five" = 11 letters
"happy birthday" = 13 letters
With that logic you might end up with:
Happy
Birth
Day
which granted isn't as bad as many cakes featured here.
Well, at least those cakes will be memorable to the recipients for puzzlingly funny reasons, rather than horrifying/disgusting/disturbing ones like some wrecks...
The first cake may be a tribute to the way the decorator pronounces some words. Beyond that, your guess is as good as any.
The last one made me choke on my yogurt. Remember when Dan Rather was attacked by guys asking "Kenneth, what is the frequency?" I bet it's the SAME KEN.
The 1st thing I heard in my head for the 2nd thing was Lawrence Welk (sp?) doing his "Anna ONE, anna TWO...! (Anna think you might be looking for a butterfly net...)
[Hey, at least it was "somewhat" musically relevent... but nothiing to do with cake...or anything else, for that matter.]
=^-.-^= <(Who IS Ken?)
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?"
Bwah! Now I want to know who Ken is and what he knows!!! Is it about the death of Mary and Gus, who apparently went out adventuring in the jungle and woods and never came back?!
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
That last one is awfully sinister. What if the cake decorator's instructions got mixed up with the instructions for a member of an international spy ring?!
FORGET THE MATH! Music may "thinks", but that first cake STINKS! And, the FOUR AND FIVE =NINE, so...maybe it's the baker/decorator, whomevers's IQ??? Last, and thankfully so, this smacks of subterfuge..."Your mission, if you choose to accept it, could mean-BLAH BLAH..." (cue Mission Impossible theme music)(And have a nice day!)
=^-.-^=
To the tune of Auld Lang Syne
Should music thinks be iced on cake
And the lines say "four and five"?
What does Ken know
That we don't know?
Are those blue flowers still alive?
For wrecky thinking won again
And your cake will make you laugh.
All we need are carrot jockeys now
Oh and clearer thinking staff.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
Technically "Four and Five" is just one letter short of "Happy Birthday" if you count the spaces.
*Stares in WTF*
1) Music may think, but it seems this baker forgot to engage his brain.
2) Nine!
3) What? And Barbie doesn't?
2. "Tell me the story again, Mommy. The one about how I was born twice." "Well, dear, you started coming out a few minutes before midnight on December 31st. Then, for some reason you ducked back in (can't say I blame you) and came out again just after midnight. So you're four and five!"
3. This must have an epic backstory. Until it surfaces: Perhaps Ken is some mutual acquaintance of the wreckerator and the customer, who because of his power of 'imagination' can possibly explain what happened with this cake. Ken must be found.
Honestly, I can't stop laughing at the "Music Thinks!" That is a wreck that makes me ridiculously happy. Mary & Gus -- are they retiring and moving to a cabin in the woods with the bears (possums, what animals are those anyway)? They are? Excellent -- talk to Ken -- he has the map to the cabin. :D
All the comments asking who Ken is..... all I can think of is Bart from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency wandering around asking "Do You know Ken?"
@Craig: That's "information," not "imagination."
Perhaps I'm just old, but that last one had me thinking about A Fish Called Wanda 😂
