When Common Sense Isn't
February 26, 2009 
You're right, Benoit; I'm guessing they didn't get that tip, either.
Nice to see that they understood that there was something important about the 12 bit, though. Do you suppose the wreckerator was putting that extra layer of icing on and wondering what the big deal was about the number 12, anyway?
Thank goodness that all fit, Diane V.; I don't know WHAT the decorator could have done to shorten the inscription. Do you?
(And fyi: Freymoto is a clever smash-up of the happy couple's last names. Nifty idea, no?)

Wow- and that chocolate cake could havebeen so pretty. LOL
that was all things amazing. I <3 it. hahaha
Sometimes I feel really bad for the wreckerators, who are very clearly not native speakers of English for the most part.
And then I want to smack the employer for hiring someone who is so very obviously ill-suited to their job.
These are my favorite types of wrecks! Thanks!!!
Wow. I am stunned. Can people seriously look at the order and think that anyone in their right mind would want THAT on a cake?
I guess you stop judging what people want with a cake when a 12 year old girl has a playboy cake.
*shakes head*
Part of me thinks that if I got a cake like this I would be way too amused to complain.
What a cute cake it is!
the purple curly-q's... the smooth chocolate icing...
oh! those directions i gave to the baker?
What a great conversation piece! It's perfect!
hahah. xD
It can't be!
Plugging ears, squinching eyes closed and shaking head. And singing lalalala.

Oh, dear lord, the non-English speaking wreckerator strikes again (trying to come up with a reasonable excuse for this) - at least the writing is nice? These mistakes had me "decorating" my computer screen with diet coke... Thanks, Jen, I needed that today!!! :)
WV: inollin - If we use a "small" tip, we can get inollin more words.

OMG....Big tip if it's there before 12?
Um, this wouldn't be a bar mitzvah cake, would it?
What is the big deal with 12...I don't remember anything too exciting!
Don't forget to show cakewrecks some click appreciation like I have for their awesome content!!

Ha! Hey, my last name is a mashup of my husband's and my last names, too!
I live for the literal lols.
No words. All I can do is shake my head and wonder how dumb do you have to be?
How can it be possible that someone who can pipe so beautifully can be so stupid????
Even without the stupid inscription,do you think Jason would love that lone 'pretty' flower? WTH?
Aw, the first one would have been beautiful without the last part.
What scares me is that these wreckorators are allowed to vote, drive, and reproduce.
that one drop flower on Jayson's cake looks so lonely! What's up with that? It's kind of like someone knew how to make a nice ganache, but was in the middle of taking Wilton I.
I'm just surprised they didn't USE a big tip...
WF- mocing 1) You're mocing me...
2) (alternate pronunciation) what do cows put on their cake? Mocing
(raising eyebrow in suspicion)
If WHAT is there before 12?? LOL
The second one had me laughing so hard I had to look at them both again.
~Amy B.
absolutely amazing. And not in a good way.
Dang it! My laughter sent me into yet ANOTHER coughing fit!! hack, hack, wheeze...but so worth it.
These are hands-down my favorite wrecks! Thanks for the morning laughs!
Ha! And I was upset when I picked up a cake before that said "Happy 3th Birthday"!
You make me laugh every time!
I'm thinking the 'big tip' is in regards to the icing tip that was supposed to be at the bakery before 12.
Heh.
Well, I guess you really can't have it all...beautiful cake, amazing penmanship...and a brain!
*sigh*
I do have to say, I'm a little confused about the purple swirly writting and the flower for "Jason" but uh...I'll just leave that one alone...
But the writing on the first cake looks very pretty. That's something !
These are som eof my FAVORITE kinds of Wrecks!! True classics!
Who says these are non-English speakers? There are plenty of American born ridiculously literal folks out there!
wv: iroater - seeing these sorts of things just makes me iroater and iroater.
Sometimes when I see these cakes I kinda think that people order them like this purposefully. I mean seriously?!
I feel so sorry for Jason!! What guy wants a cake with purple writing and flowers!
How could you really think someone wanted that on a cake? It's just amazing.
ridonkulous
You are killing me. At least give a fair warning, I choked on my coffee I laughed so hard when I saw this.
The 2nd cake is clogged up that it makes my head hurt.
Jason's cake looks yummy.
I <3 these cakes. That chocolate one really would have been pretty, but instead the wreckerator drove it into a wall - bam! A wreck.
These are the kind of cakes that get me to giggling. I can't...stop...must...breathe!
I feel sorry for Jason for getting such a girly cake. And that lettering is so perfect!
I, too, am beginning to think people are ordering these 'mistakes' on purpose.
Cake Wrecks is creating monsters....
GAAAAK!
Are people really this dumb??
That first one is just too funny - something about that fact that it actually would have looked rather pretty.
You know, I'm thinking the person who ordered the first cake was telling the bakery that they'd give them a big tip if the cake was done before 12.
Maybe?
Dumbfounding!
If my sweetie and I mashed up our last names, it would have been "Bongland". As funny as it would have been, the DEA surveillance probably would have gotten old quickly!
This makes me particularly sad because the text in the first one is so beautiful!!!
aw, poor Jason...
And it even looks like they've made a correction in the inscription!
Classic cake wrecks!
And I have to argue against those who say these folks are "clearly not native English speakers"... I'd bet $5 that they all grew up speaking some version of English.
WV: triness. It doesn't matter if you can read or spell, what counts is your level of triness.
Does that first cake say its'? I can barely stand it when people use it's in place of the possessive! It had some quality cake potential though.
My husband and I thought about doing a last name mash-up. His last name is Scott and mine rhymes with Bunkly. So the only thing we could come up with was... Scunkly.
Classic. Amazing.
Maybe they left the big tip part on the cake to remind the receiver they promised !!
And I found a BBC story online about funny names. I am now armed and ready to pad the sign up lists:
Tim Burr, Carrie Oakey, Joe King, Justin Case, Barb Dwyer, Stan Still, Terry Bull, Anna Sasin, Doug Hole, Hazel Nutt, Rose Bush, Dr. Les Plack, Daisy Picking, Sue Mee, Mary Lee, and Penny Bunn
There really was a rich lady in Houston named Ima Hogg.
I just don't understand it. Are people really that dumb? I'm blogging about this! Hope that's okay.
