Homophoned In
July 26, 2011 Here's one way to tell if a cake order was made over the phone:
Followed by a three hour tour?[For the record, that joke makes me feel reeeeally old.]
John and I just sat here saying the words "our" and "are" ad nauseam. We sounded a lot like the seagulls in Finding Nemo: "Our? Are? Hour? R? Arr?"
Still, I take comfort in knowing you're all doing the exact same thing.
Now this one made us sound like the Count from Sesame Street. Which is to say, AWESOME.
In fact, from now on, I'm always pronouncing "welcome" like "wheeel come."
Sometimes a cake makes you wonder about its back story...
...but the good news is Sam actually didn't give a flying crap.And finally, here's a girl with a need for speed:
Yep. Rose really likes to put the petal to the medal.Thanks to Rachel N., Sarah D., Scot N., Kelly R., F.F., & Jon A., who only caught that last line because they've had their coffee. Good work, guys.

Do you know the story behind the wreck? I'm rather curious.
The sad part about the Nancy and Kay cake is that they're opening a zoo; the cake was supposed to say "to our gnu adventures." *rimshot*
How did the decorators manage to spell "Administration" correctly but royally screwed up "Welcome"?
You definitely have a new follower. I love pictures of cakes and I love humor and you have combined the two. I am so glad that I stumbled across your site. In fact, I just twitted your "Homphoned In" post to share the laughter on the cake typos with others. Thank you so much for the laughter, something our world can never have enough of.
I'm 17 and I got your Gilligan's Island joke! love your website!
"Petal to the medal"? Is she stomping on a flower? LOL
I haven't read the comments so sorry if anyone has already pointed this out
I can almost bet u d person who ordered or wrote on dat first cake is a nigerian! I would know for obvious reasons! :D
Some of us hav a 'h' problem especially with words like 'h'our and 'h'ouse. Where d h is pronounced in former and silent in the latter.don't ask me why,so blame the accent. Lol!
