English FAIL Blog

Ha! I love it!

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.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone was really tired and not paying attention…

@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.

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.

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.
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.

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!

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.

Hey meester….I gots jor cakes ready for to be peeked up now…jes???

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.

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!

uh that cake is f*in ugly the frosting looks like baby shit.

I peeked up your wife…she’s happy now.

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.
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?

hey, if it was my cake i’d be happy… more icing!!!

“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!”

Yeah, but it’s red icing, which tastes like ass.

Ahhhh, the sweet chocolatey taste of epic fail…

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.

bless this post with love,peace,respect and success.

just let love be

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????

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.

I really dont know what to say becides some one needs to be shot…lol

Probably some smart ass teenager working at the bakery thought it would be funny.

@Chris

@Bob
