@Jen:
So the baker wrote a paragraph of nonsense for the sake of postmodern irony? Have you missed the point of this entire blog? Epic fail to you, my good lady, for being so utterly dense and pretentious.
Yeah, this reminds me of a cake we had made for our volleyball team end-of-year party.
We wanted it to say ‘ace’ on it, which is a totally legit volleyball term, but the icer put ‘face’ on our cake.
It was fabulous. I would not oppose to eating a cake mistake, haha. It makes it so much more delicious.
If your job is decorating cakes at Wal-Mart, chances are pretty high that you don’t know much English. The person probably just copied down the form without having any understanding of what it really said.
We get cakes at least once a month at my office for some random reason, and English is not the native language of the ladies at the Publix bakery. We constantly have to tell them how to spell things like “Kate” and “Bobby”, but have never had something so ridiculous as this. I am jealous of how epic this failure is. I wish I had been the person to have brought it back to my office. I know some of the people here wouldn’t get it anyway.
Obviously, the decorator knew exactly what he or she was doing and was pointing out the customer’s shortcomings; the apostrophe must have been in the original too. After all,”The customer is always right.”
Companies usually celebrate birthdays every month. Lumping all of november and december birthdays? and given the size of the cake (recession?) – I would have to say that they’re working for a small cheap-ass company.
I get it now.. what a silly baker.
Lol.
For those who don’t understand, let’s put it in context:
The man wants a cake for his friends’ birthdays, which are in November and December. He gave a note to his baker (who fails) which said:
“Happy November & December Birthdays” and then added a note to the baker, at the bottom, which read, “Abbreviate Nov. & Dec. if you need to”
The baker iced that into the cake.
What is the world coming to?
It wasn’t intentional. Someone just copied the instructions they had verbatim. It is not as difficult to do something like this as it may seem, especially if someone is tired, day-dreaming, or just not paying attention. After you have done essentially the same task several thousand times in the same day it can become easy to lose concentration too.
The apostrophe in “birthday’s” was put there by the customer; and that is not as bad a mistake in this context as some pedants may argue it is.
BOB its OK. time to change the medication, gee you dont have to sprout off. we know why it is funny and can figure it out ourselves. mmmmmmmmmm have you done this bob this isn’t your on is it?

Ha! I love it!
ummm….DUH!…
That is just made of epic fail. Thank you, sir.
Uh, no, that was clearly intentional. Epic fail to you, good friend, for being a no-fun grammar fiend who cannot even appreciate irony.
If you were pointing out the “Birthday’s,” though, I could forgive you.
You fucking Grammer nazi!!
*grammar
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone was really tired and not paying attention…

SOOOO HILARIOUS!!
that is one epically failing icer.
poo on you guys who dont think this is a fail.
I love ALL of it!
Oh man. Depressing that someone did all this work without thinking AT ALL about what he/she was doing!
wow best one i’ve seen so far…
hahahah!! best cake ever.
A nice added touch is “Birthday’s”
i must agree, this one is the best that i’ve seen
Something like this actually happened to a friend of mine.
She got a cake for someone and said they wanted it to say “Get Well [person's name]”
Well they only put “Well [person's name]”
*facepalm*
So a tip, don’t buy cakes from Wal-mart lol.
See, this is either an epic fail or an intentional joke by the baker. Either way it’s hilarious.
Intentional joke? If it was (which I doubt), I wouldn’t pay for the cake…I think we’re underestimating the stupidity of said baker.
I love how “Nov. and Dec.” is abbreviated in the abbreviation instructions.
I guess they didn’t need to abbreviate, after all.
This is by far the best one. You’d have to be so out of it to make this mistake! I would love to someday receive a birthday cake similar to this one.
Oh lovely. I love it. Totally made my Monday.
My favorite part of all of this is that it has been photographed on a birthday themed tablecloth – THEY USED IT!
Party planning fail.
Yeah, this reminds me of a cake we had made for our volleyball team end-of-year party.

One year my boyfriend went to DQ to get me a birthday cake.. he wanted it to say “Happy Birthday Anna” in red.
They wrote “Happy Birthday Red” and then “fixed” it by covering the mistake with chocolate.
…fail.
So this was my addition, and yes we did use the cake and everyone loved it. It was the funniest thing EVER!

Hey meester….I gots jor cakes ready for to be peeked up now…jes???
I peeked up your wife…she’s happy now.
“This cake isn’t supposed to say this.”
“Jes, is cake! You like!”
“No, no. The writing on the cake, it’s wrong.”
“Jes, I say that! Is writing on cake! You like!”

Is there any deeper meaning for this than gibberish? Am I missing something?
Hahahahaha! I needed a laugh. Thank you so much! I think the people who got the cake would have loved it, too.
From Tom:
“BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone was really tired and not paying attention…”
… but they were even more tired by the time they were done. Did they spell abbreviate right on the first try? ROFL
That’s certainly the icing on the cake.
Obviously, the decorator knew exactly what he or she was doing and was pointing out the customer’s shortcomings; the apostrophe must have been in the original too. After all,”The customer is always right.”
My only question is, did the icer get iced?
That is cake-tastic!
.
Funny shirts that smell like your mom… http://www.FAILshirts.com
.
uh that cake is f*in ugly the frosting looks like baby shit.
This is the first time, nor will I doubt it be the last! You can check out more mistakes here:

Oops I meant NOT the first time.
I think that they should have abbreviated abbreviate.
Companies usually celebrate birthdays every month. Lumping all of november and december birthdays? and given the size of the cake (recession?) – I would have to say that they’re working for a small cheap-ass company.
LOL
Did the person write the instructions on the cake?
Rofl
this, my dear friends, is amazing. it has just made my day.
I get it now.. what a silly baker.
Lol.

hey, if it was my cake i’d be happy… more icing!!!
Yeah, but it’s red icing, which tastes like ass.
Ahhhh, the sweet chocolatey taste of epic fail…

i dont understand part of this but it is funny. and it was made to look like accentual but it wasnt.
HAHA! I just got it!
omg, thats fuckin awesome
Amazing… Why don’t these people get hit by cars more often??
What were they doing, reading a paper tht told them what to write and the were tired or drunk????
