Hope You Love Carrots, Mom
May 9, 2019 OK, bakers, Mother's Day is coming.
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT.
;)
No no, "Mother's Day." Moths don't get a day. No one likes moths that much, and they're terrible at guilt trips. (Heyoooo.)
;)
Still no, but Fun Fact: a "mort" is "the note sounded on a horn when the quarry is killed."
::awkward pause::
So... maybe just print it out?
;)
HOW.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.
I'm told this is supposed to say "I love my mom":
;)
Which means the printer ran out of red ink, and one of you heroically SPRANG into action: loading up the red icing in your piping bag... and piping a giant red scribble on top.
::long, deadpan stare into camera::
Ah, but it gets worse:
;)
YOU DID IT TWICE.
Only this time you added carrots. Because if you're gonna confuse your customers, GO ALL IN, that's what I always say.
Tell you what, bakers, maybe I was too hasty. Maybe you should go back to piping your own Mother's Day greetings. Cool?
;)
::sigh::
::head slowly bonking keyboard::
::deeper sigh::
Cool.
Thanks to Krista P., Kim S., Becky T., Katie O., & Tasia P. for making us all wonder if maybe Mothday Day SHOULD be a thing.

I have a serious question;
Obviously, the two "Love My" cakes were purchased blank, then the inscription was added. HOW did the person doing the writing manage to write the words identically the same? Look at the formation of the letters, spacing, colour, etc. They are identical.
Sure, moths don't get a day, but I'm 100% behind mothdays getting a day. Happy Mothday Day!
*Headeskfacepalm*
What amazes me about these cakes is the repetition. Cakes 1 & 6 can't be the same decorator, the writing is too different. How did they BOTH make that mistake? Cakes 4 & 5 probably are by the same hand, but why didn't someone stop him after the first time? Cake 4 is amazing. How do you write on icing and make it look as though a 4-year-old has been crayoning? It's not printed like cake 3, where you can see the printed bit is flat. The red icing and exploding eyeball is clearly a different (possibly insane) decorator.
Finally, are those radishes on cake 2?
That first "Love My"
See that was a rebus! That top thing is an EYE! Bloodshot eye!
Man - where is your imagination?
Old joke: An eight year old girl is trying to check out a book titled Advice for Young Mothers from the local library.
Librarian: Now why do you want to check out this particular book, dear?
Little girl: I collect moths.

To Shirley, they are printed. Kind of like Xerox, but it prints on cakes, not paper. Clerk didn't notice, or care, that the colour used for "I" and "mom" had run out (or faded away). At east now you can pipe your own sentiment -- "dogs" love my "swimming pool" đ (it was tough to come up with one that didn't get naughty)
Those carrots just need jockeys!!!
#5 I would be reading that as "Love My Carrots". A cake for a grocer maybe. Or bugs bunny.
The last one actually has a moth like insect on it. Well actually I think it's a dragonfly, but it proves someone in that bakery has a sense of humor.
Finally!
I don't think I want to know what mothday would be lol. All I can picture is a group of moths gathered around lamplight and eating cake that look like sweaters.. I had way too much time to think on this lol.
Thank you, Lalala. That explains the ghost image of the words "I" and "Mom" on both cakes. The machine didn't have any icing left in the 'ink jet' when if wrote those parts of the inscription.
Wait, cakes 3 and 4 were printed? Like from a printer? What was the font, âThird Grade Handwritingâ?
Cakes #4 & #5 are both predecorated cakes that come in at Wal-Mart. The red drizzle and carrots are on there already. The "writing" is an edible image that's printed. Usually edibles aren't put on a predecorated cake, so that part confuses me as to why it's on there. But they should of at least made sure all the colors printed.
