    Ah. A new euphemism for “pregnancy”. I like it.

    That has to be more of a crap joke from someone with a terrible sense of humor rather than a frostingographical error. Graduations and Complications are completely dissimilar.

    Maybe it’s a phone order gone wrong? Complications instead of convocations I could kind of see…

      I’m with you on this.

    I think they wrote “complications” instead of “accomplishments,” not instead of “graduations.” I could be wrong, but yeah.

    Maybe the meant completions? I have absolutely no idea though.

    I can hear the similarity between ‘Graduations’ and ‘Complications’ slightly, particularly if said over a crappy phone line. Though I reckon Brittany’s probably closest, completions… and they’re trying to be smart with it and have an… interesting accident.

    Not to mention it says ‘Congratulations Onn/Om’ at the top. :P

    I would have guessed “completion” at first…but after reading the comments I think “convocation” is probably the most likely word. If you’re not listening very well (or don’t understand English very well >_>), it’s somewhat easy to see how “convocation” could sound like “complication.”

    But seriously, why didn’t they just write “Congrats on your graduation”? Unless they’re trying to use alliteration – Congrats, Carla, Curtis…Convocation?

    Probably trying to write “Accomplishments” and decided “Complications” was shorter and fit the space. They mean the same thing, anyway, right?

    FAIL!

    Wow. I am really surprised… I thought that grammar smitties would get this immediately.

    The proper term for university graduation is convocation. Because two people were convocating the word should be “convocations”. The cake should have read “Congratulations on your convocations…” “Convocations” sounds a lot like “complications”. Thus, the error.

    It’s written in cursive. “n” in cursive is “m”.

    I’m guessing graduations……maybe Curtis&Carla are brother&sister?…..cousins?……grandchildren?…young lovers?Also the person at the bakery probably misheard the person ordering the cake?Maybe they ordered by phone?
    This will perplex me for the rest of my live-long life…….

    Maybe it’s for a watchmaker (http://www.lussori.com/complications.html) or a dancer – then it would make sense.

  13. GQJake81 on August 3rd, 2008 at 7:22 pm

    i’m guessin…”commencement” was maybe the goal?

  14. Mike on August 12th, 2008 at 3:27 pm

    What the hell? Okay, if you put a freaking diploma on a cake, you should probably be able to gather that the word is “graduation”

    I’m on the team that believes this to be “accomplishments” — a very popular phrase used. Too Funny :o )
