unhappy cake

Hardey-har-har. Very funny joke, now, toss the cake.


They're telling you something, Seth. Cut it up, share it, have a jolly time, don't eat any yourself then go out and have tiramisu made by someone who cares, and coffee. Any Denny's and the company of any book will be better than this. But it is not actually a cake wreck. Those are mistakes and this is not. 


If you choose to go there (sub. case) you might see a lot of mistakes that occur by orders being taken over the phone, often by workers who speak another language first and unfamiliar with American customs so messages piped onto cakes read literally, like, write a: BIG #2 with STARS next to it. And that's exactly what is written. 

Besides amusing misspellings another thing that happens so much they don't even mention it, just show it and refer to it cryptically is party balloons depicted as sperm. Confectioners are trying to draw balloons on cakes so they outline an oval and fill it in then provide the balloon with a string but never a string pulled straight by its weight, always a squiggly string so in multiples balloons look like sperm racing across the surface of cakes and the icers don't realize this by making that pervy connection to the tremendous amusement of Cake Wrecks audience who take it for standard Cake Wrecks tsk-tsk filler material. On the site they display two examples currently on the front page with  "easy come" then "easy go." That's all. And it means, "sperm." Another unhappy cake presently on the front page that is not an actual wreck is the one reading "Sorry for being an asshole." Such a heartwarming apology. It is a hilarious site.

I have the door opened wide and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture is playing out there in direction of the museum. And the question occurred to me why would he be writing about us? And it turns out he's not. That's all about Napoleon attacking Russia, not Britain come over here to kick our beautoxes and burn our capitol. This whole time I thought it was.

Why would a Russky care about a squabble between two Anglos?

I wonder whether anyone ever had This Is Not A Cake written on a cake? That would be a ripoff but a goodun.
