Spelling Bee Hard
June 3, 2014 Welcome, everyone, to the 2014 Bakers' Spelling Bee!
Contestants, your first word is "Congratulations."
Let's begin.
;)
I'm sorry, but that's incorrect.
;)
So is that.
;)
I'm afraid I can't read that, but it's definitely still wrong.
;)
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!
No.
;)
Did you seriously just start with an E?
;)
Corgat? CORGAT??
Look, bakers, this isn't that hard; just sound it out! C'mon, we'll do it together: "CON-graaa..."
;)
[bonking head on podium]
Ok, bakers, to save on time let's skip right to our lightning round. First one to correctly spell "Congratulations Graduates" wins!
;)
;)
;)
I give up.
*beepbeepbeep*
And look, we're out of time anyway! Well, thanks to those of you at home for tuning in, and to all our equally inept contestants, who've managed to set a new 2014 Speiiing Bee record!
[whispering off camera] Hang on, "Speiiing Bee"? Who wrote these cue cards?
Oh.
;)
Never mind.
Thanks to Sarah B., Katy B., Darcy, Michelle P., Rachel W., Shawn M., Ken & Jen, Jeffrey M., Yvette A., Susan H., & Stacy P. for spelling that out for us.

Bwhahahahahaha. Oh man I can only picture the customers faces as they read these and then I fall over laughing again. Sheesh wreckerators.
They can't even get congrats right.
I'm fairly sure "COGNGRTAUALTONS" has been on here before. I remember the debate over whether the middle word was spelled correctly.
SuBee, thanks for the moment of Wilbury! Love it! Love all the songs, actually!

Who is THAT stupid???
As a decorator, it is always SO tempting to spell things the way people put it on their order forms. My work gets 1,000+ grad orders this time of year and only about half the people spell congratulations correctly.
Eye guess hukd on foniks dident wurk fer dem!
#3 looks a bit like a tardigrade (wiki it) made of poo. A turdigrade, maybe?
I wish you could hear the noise in our house... I start giggling and my husband comes running so we can go through the latest Cake Wrecks post together.
I must remember though to have a pull on my asthma inhaler before I look 'coz the giggles gives me an asthma attack!
I was reading these out loud, & it sounded like I was having a stroke.
Wow...hope for humanity...dwindling...
Am I the only person to have read the fourth cake in the Mayor of Townsville's voice (the one from the PowerPuff Girls)?
And speaking of spelling bees, I can't help but be reminded of one of my favorite videos, so I'd like to share it with all of you!

@Isolder74: Good Jorb!! You win. Er... Condrauglations?! Contradutions?! Nice one. Lol!
Oh the irony! How many of these cakes are for graduates.
But wait! I think there is a business opportunity here...someone needs to produce a Congratulations stencil in a script font and all they need to do is plonk it on the cake and then trace the word.
Three for three is pretty poor, I must say. But to be fair, it's not always the bakers fault. A friend of mine worked in a bakery on Staten Island when he was in school. One day a lady came in to collect her congratulatory cake for her son's graduation. When the baker presented it, she said. "Oh, no. You spelled 'congradulations' wrong - that's supposed to be a 'd'." The man simply said, "Whatever you want, lady," scraped off the 't' and expertly repaired the word to the incorrect spelling. The customer is always right.
Cogngrtaualtons!
