Cakes gone wrong (part 2)

I've featured 'cakes gone wrong' before on the Charles Fudgemuffin, and as next week sees the celebration of National Cake Day, it seems like the perfect opportunity to feature another batch of cakes gone wrong, in a blog post which I've cleverly entitled ... 'Cakes gone wrong (part 2)'.

1) A great year in purple

This first cake features a cake where the baker decided to follow the instructions literally...

Baker: "Would you like me to write a message on the top of the cake?"
Customer: "Yes, write, 'Thanks for a great year' in purple."
Baker: "Okay, right. Got it. Write, 'Thanks for a great year in purple'. No problem!"

"It's been a great year in purple!"

What was going through the cake-maker's head when they wrote the message on the cake? In what context would 'a great year in purple' ever make sense? It's got me baffled.

Did they imagine a conversation like the following...

Bob: "2019 has been a great year!"
Sally: "Yes, it's been a great year in purple."

2) Super Bow(e)l

This next cake was either a cake to celebrate the Super Bowl created by someone with poor spelling, or perhaps it was a cake to celebrate someone with impressive intestines!

Super Bowel, or Super Bowl

The moral of the story is always poof-read your message before finalising your cake.

3) Spell check - fail

But if the previous cake was a spelling failure, then this next cake takes things to a whole another level...

"Congration, you done it!"

Surely this must take the gold medal for bad spelling and poor grammar.

Even more incredibly, if you look closely you can just make out that the bakery is charging $14.98 for this cake! Presumably if you want one with proper grammar and spelling they charge you an extra $10?

4) Two for the price of one

This next customer ordered two cakes, and asked for a special message 'on both'...

"Happy birthday" on both.

Seriously, how literal do you have to be not to realise that they meant:

"Happy birthday" on both.

Rather than:

"Happy birthday on both."

Were the cakes made by robots?

5) Martian baby

Presumably this next cake was made to celebrate the birth of a baby Martian?

"Welcome baby Martian Tristan."

"Goo, goo. Ga, ga. Take me to your leader. Goo, goo."

6) "       "

Finally, here's another example of the cake-maker taking things a little bit too literally...

Baker: "What message would you like on top?"
Customer: "Nothing."

"Nothing."

That's it for this week, but people are seemingly always making silly cakes, so I'll no doubt feature another collection of cakes gone wrong at some point in the future.
