The Name Blame

I know bakers see a lot of unusual names these days, but sometimes you've still got to wonder: 

 

 ...are they doing "the drugs?"

 (That's me channeling a little bit of my mom for you, right there. She puts a "the" in front of everything, like going to "the Walmart" or seeing "the Star Wars" or disowning "the daughter.")

 

Not cool, man. NOT COOL.

There are so many wrecky butterfly cakes coming in this month that my first thought for this next one was that it actually wasn't so bad:

Oops. 

(Funny thing: this one's a lot less phallic than most butterfly wrecks, too.)

From a bakery that uses a lot of clipart:

(Yes, really.)

On the plus side, I've *seen* most bakery clip art out there, and believe me, this is an improvement.

Do you think this next baker finished the cake, looked down, and thought, "Hey, what a coincidence!"?

(And no, for you positive Pollys out there - the birthday boy was not named Nemo.)

Now, you might think you could avoid your own birthday wreck by just having nothing on it.

And, hey, you might be right.

Or...

 

....yeeeah.

My Mom does the "the" thing too. My favorite? The Googlie

On the other hand, it looks like all the spelling is correct.

That last "hot dog" FRANKly looks less phallic only because of the mustard. Let's see how it looks with squirt of mayo.....yah? YAH?

I am repeatedly struck by my own good luck for asking my wedding cake baker (the truly wonderful and long gone Let Them Eat Cake in Chicago) for "just a few flowers on the top". I got three lovely cakes strewn with icing roses and lilies. This was before Cake Wrecks and I had no idea how many ways this could have gone wrong.

I'm desperately wanting to name something Sprinkles.

"Happy Birthday Clip" is surely for a barber....

A very dear friend who passed this year used to say she was "going on the line" when working on her computer.

My husband and I overheard a woman calling Harrah's Casino "the Harrah's" so that is what we call it now too. Must be said with a bit of a twang. :-)

I have a cousin named Sparkle. Close enough?
