    Happy Gradulation!

    CONGRATUATIONS!!!

    Okay, I like it, but is it an inadvertent portmanteau of graduation + congratulations or of graduation + adulation?

    It’s a space-saver! “Congratulations on your graduation, Patrick!” is a bit much to write on a cake.

    I’m not saying this is a bad submission, but I just see this as something like “ginormous” or “guesstimate”… just someone being creative and saying “gradulation”…

    Granted it’s “happy” gradulation… maybe the cake-maker was thinking graduation, had a memory lapse during the frosting and thought he/she was writing congratulations… I’ve done that.

    So fail? Technically yes. Cute? I think so.

    It could be an inside joke for the family of Patrick?

    Plus, the sprinkles aren’t even!

      I hate those little round sprinkles. They taste like butt.

    This was my cake (really it was) and all the lady who did the cake said was “sorry i didn’t have a dictionary” it was not supposed to be slang or anything.

    • Megan on September 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 pm

      That’s horrible! You don’t need a dictionary to know that “graduation” doesn’t have an “L” sound in it at all! I agree with a about the memory lapse thing. That’s probably what happened.

      Let me be one to say, (hope you had a) “Happy Graduation, Patrick”

    If I were Patrick I would eat the “G” and the “R” and then bask in the glow as everyone was forced by the cake to worship me.

    Happy granulation maybe. Wonder, how many bags is Patrick now in then.

    I have seen this done on purpose, but it was “Congraduations!”

    I knew the person who did the cake and she said it was SLIGHTLY on purpose…she started to write congratulations but then saw she made a d instead of a T so she made up the new word…

    I think a lot of folks make this mistake when it’s too late to clean up! LOL

    You know, this may be a bit sexist, but is there a reason why the message is written in pink and surrounded by a bunch of pink and lavender sprinkles?

    …To be honest, I had no comments about the English fail that nobody had already written, and so upon noticing the colours I decided to bring it up. Feel free to ignore. :P

    • Megan on September 4th, 2008 at 8:23 pm

      There’s green and yellow in there, too.

    hey, at least the French Bread is hot by 5pm.

    or it’s FREE.

    but wait, what if i want French Bread at 3pm? is it cold?

    hmm….

      Has no one ever heard of Squidbilles? It could be from that cartoon.

      ” Gratulations son, yous a high school Congradulate.

    Congratulation + Graduation = Gradulation?
    WTF?
