But What If The Customers Are Nuts?

Bakers, I want you to know that I know.

I KNOW.

Sometimes your customers are... weird.

I promise I'll keep this brief.

And hey, if someone with cash in hand asks you to draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist, then by golly, you draw Lebron James as an anesthesiologist.

I hear he's a gas.

And if they want an anniversary cake of a fairy and a werewolf about to fight over a box garden, then of course you ask how many blood drips they want around the edges.

Because that's the job.

BUTT.

Can we all agree this was an order better left unfilled?

I mean, I'm not saying that's not a LOVELY toy train rammed up a Harley Davidson-tattooed butt. I'm not.

It's just maybe next time you could suggest something a little less cheeky. A little less wow-that-looks-like-a-wangy. A little less WHYGODWHY. You know?

That said, bakers, if you get an order like this?

Those customers aren't nuts, they're just Cake Wrecks fans. Who are totally cool. Though I'd be EXTRA nice if they have their cameras out. [evil grin]

Thanks to Alyce F., Ronni M., Tena C., Anony M., & Mark H., whose proposal cake from 2011 is making the rounds again online as an ACTUAL cake wreck - but we all know better. IT IS THE SWEETEST.

The Ten Funniest Name Goofs

Names are tough - there are just so many weird ones out there - so I tend to cut bakers a lot of slack when it comes to misspelling them.

But I'm pretty sure these birthday kids weren't so understanding:

"...and that's how Bobby got his nickname! Now, you two kids get going, and have a nice prom!"

I'm guessing something about this cake is going to rub little Chase the wrong way:

 Ooh. BURN.

Clap your hands if you believe Tink's gonna be ticked.

Now this is just cruel:

And written on a cookie cake, too! Poor Cubby.

This remains one of my all-time favorite name wrecks:

 "Look, Stetson! It's almost like you're part of the family!"

 Of all the times to mix up your "u"s and "a"s...

 Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!

This is what we call a Freudian piping slip:

It was a bittersweet parting.

Of course, not every name goof results in an insult. Some people even come out ahead:

Way, WAY ahead.

It's doubly unfortunate that these polka dots look a lot more "Turdi" than "Trudi":

What a way to go.

Let's hope Violet doesn't live up to her new nick name.

This "cookie bouquet" was for a baby shower. I'll let you spot the problem:

"Well, I SHOULD HOPE SO."

Thanks to Brian C.,  Elizabeth B., Beth, Laura R., Natalie B., Melissa R., Lacey C., Jennifer S., Kirsten H., Addy L., & Jennie C. for not naming any names.
