Some of my favorite new submission this week:

[singing] Double your pleasure, double your...

Never mind.

When Jeff's co-worker retired, they decided to go with a golfing sentiment on the cake. Appropriate, because look how well the baker teed them off!

Ahh, if only ALL the gruss was grenner, am I right?

Here's another stencil malfunction, but one only you Australian readers will appreciate:

To be fair, I hear it's easy to get turned around Down Under.

(Via this article, which gets major props for calling it the "cake that flipped a nation." Hee!)

Anyone else get the feeling bakers are sick of drawing footballs?

No? Just me?

And finally,

I think this giraffe is trying to wink at us:

So why can't I stop screaming?

Thanks to Kara P., Jeff R., everyone in Australia who reads this blog, Melissa U., & Anony M. for proving that winking at strangers is always creepy, so stop it, winkers. JUST STOP.

Some of my favorite new submission this week:

If that Frozen fiasco on Monday taught us anything, it's to be specific when you order a cake. After all, as Lynn's grandmother discovered, one person's "Ninja Turtle cake" is another's "Meh, just stick an empty pencil box on it."

I like how the green sprinkles really tie the whole thing together.

And speaking of Frozen, don't you hate it when you post a whole bunch of Frozen cake kit wrecks, only to have THE BEST ONE EVER come in the very next day?

Admit it, bakers: at this point you're just screwing with me.

Now, you might think that if a bakery only had to put a single edible image on a cake - an image that you made and printed out for them - then there'd be no possible way for that to go wrong.

You might think that...

...but you would be so, so wrong.

(Clearly the baker just wanted to protect the identities of those poor musicians.)

Indecent Proposal:

Tricia actually wanted the baker to draw a sad face, but I think this still works:

Awww.

And finally,

The Good News: Airbrush stencils are easy, guarantee correct spelling, and save time!

The Bad News: People are still dumb.

Bummer.

Thanks to Lynn M., MJ, Robin C., Liz A., Tricia M., & Tia K., who's pretty sure that baker will never invent Skynet, so hey, SILVER LINING.
