The Letter of the Flaw
January 10, 2012 And they say the state of American education is "bad" or whatever.
;)
Pshaw. Just look at that pretty penmanship! Besides, the baker got the point across, and that's all that matters.
(And best stay out of Gaad's way, since s/he apparently lacks the will to stop tanking people. Nasty stuff, that. Trust me.)
Isn't it nice when a bakery reaches out to the local community?
;)
Yep. That's quite a reach.
;)
Because 1920's gangsters like pink, too.
(And don't ask me about those wonky nipple things. Seriously. Fuggetabout it.)
;)
That's hot.
And speaking of hot...
;)
Heck yeah they do!! I have to watch our Weber all the time. Especially when the fire pit's in town, and the lighter fluid starts flowing, and...
Ohhh, it a GRIL. Right. Never mind.
;)
No, they didn't misspell Las Vegas; that's just Lady Luck's stripper name.
I'd like to offer my sincerest tanks to Vista M., Frankie M., Jessica H., Ty D., Anony M., & Anony 2., but sadly the army tends to frown on that sort of thing. So instead, I'll just give you all new stripper names (you know, to replace your old ones): Vasizzle, Floopsie, Jazzy, Tinkle, Aardvark, and Lop-a-long.
No need to tank me. Really.

The pink letters with the nipply "o"s are quite interesting.
Now you cannot unsee it.
I've always thought those nipple thingies on Sprinkles cupcakes were weird. And they're too sweet. I never could eat more than about a bite.
Awww, the fifth cake is catching up with the gril of "It A Gril" fame. It's always nice to drop in on our grils.
It's nice to see that 'Las Vagas' is either 'Fabilous' or 'Falulous'?!?
I'm pretty sure the first cake was served at Kim Jong-Il's memorial service. The cake serves a dual purpose -- referencing the military parade to send off Dear Leader and welcoming his successor, "Gaad Lack-Will."
In Spanish, "Las Vagas" means either "The Vague Ones" or "The Layabouts."

... Or perhaps Gran is being welcomed to the Vagas nerve?

Your captions made me laugh out loud! Hilarious!
The Las Vegas cake . . . .so sad. But wait, there is a GREAT lesson there.
Fal-
No dictionary results so lets just say "Fail"
-ulous
a suffix occurring in adjectives borrowed from Latin, with the meaning “inclined to do, habitually engaging in” the action specified by the initial element.
See, a wreck and they didn't even try.
Uhhhh... What community is the second cake in? Ahehh.. Uhhhh.. AARGHHHHH WHYYYY IS IT LIKE THIS???!?!?!! WHY, GOD/ENTITY/ZARQUON???!?!WHYYYYYYYYYY????
"Fuggetabout it."
"That's hot"
ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hilarious!
A cakey bidet!
A sticky, I mean, thoughtful
European gift.
Okay, I am crying with hysteria. The Weber Gril took me over the edge. Thanks! I needed it today.
It took me several seconds to decode "Happy Sweat IG."
Good lord the stupidity...it hurts O_o
What does that "Las Vagas" cake say at the bottom? "Happy Eathfran"?
Kriesa, I think it's "Happy 50th, Fran."
I can't not see "SLUT DUNK" on the b-ball cake.
It's "slum dunk" and maybe that basketball team really is from a slum area. We don't know.
kayk, "slut dunk" sounds like a popular carnival game, or possibly a hygiene regimen.
I think the cupcakes just got rearranged on that third one so they'd fit in the box.
It should say: SID TUBA YOYOS, commemorating Grampa Sidney's old vaudeville act where he'd do string tricks while playing oompas. The O's are even made of little yoyos.
Oh my WORD!!! The cakes were funny, but your captions made me cry from laughing so hard. Especially the "Gaad Lack Will". And I too thought it was "Slut" Dunk at first. All so funny!!!
Pretty sure those are custom Sprinkles cupcakes (I'm a girl who knows her cupcakes), which makes me want to go down to my local Sprinkles and be like REALLY? COME ON.
Also I agree with Just Me - those crunchy fondant pieces on their cupcakes are silly. I either pick them off or order the ones that are fittingly covered in sprinkles.
My stripper name was Helen.....Helen Bed!!!!
Tank you Jen! And happy bday to all those celebrating their Sweat IG!
I first took the cupcakes as a tribute to Soviet rocketry. Different reference pools, I guess.
I'd like to point out that in Spanish (where I'm from, a northern state of mexico) "Las Vagas" pretty much refers to girls who are always out of the house having some sort of fun (usually partying, drinking, etc). Bottom line: not home much.
Hilarious XD
I too read cake #2 initially as "Slut Dunk" -- and it was probably because what was likely meant to be a basket really looks more like something from the Victoria's Secret catalog.
(sirens blaring and lights flashing)
We are at DOCcon2. Repeat, we are at DOCcon2. This is not a drill. All personnel to battle stations.
What? Too much? Okay, try this.
(sorry, I couldn’t find a good copy without the ad but you can skip it in 5 seconds)
That box of Sprinkles was probably like $50. Or more.
Fabilous, absolutely fabilous.
All I can say is I am keeping my gril out of vagas. Lol oh man those cakes gave me such giggles I am now sure the neighbors think I am nuts. Hehehe.
I think the cupcakes might be meant to be read in Jar Jar Binks' voice. Not an excuse mind you, just an observation
@Barbara Anne -- DOC should get one of those Helm's Bakery trucks. I don't know if that brand was known outside of CA, though -- they delivered door-to-door in yellow trucks with blue trim and a distinctive whistle. Sort of like a PT Cruiser, only bigger. The best glazed doughnuts in the history of food.
From the sublime to the...not sublime.
#1 Don't ask me to explain, but this somehow calls to mind the Fireman Cake. Perhaps it's the mangling of 'good luck'.
#2 One of a very few CCCs I have seen that I could let slide. Usually I can only let a CCC slide if I notice the cakeboard is tilted.
#3 The 'nipply' things are stops. The message actually says: ITS Y US BDAY. There, doesn't that make more sense?
#4 'Happy Sweat 16' certainly is shiny. Uh, never mind.
#5 I need to go stand on the freeway for a while to unhear the Cyndi Lauper earworm that is currently playing. Ugh.
#6 They're trying to avoid copyright issues. Yeah, that's the ticket!
I keep thinking of Fred Armisen's impression of Lawrence Welk saying "tank you, tank you" when I look at the first cake!
The cupcakes must have been from a really classy bakery in Philly, we're I'm from - they just were one letter short. Youse got a problem with that?
The dots on the sprinkles cupcakes represent the flavors! Each flavor has a different color combo. That way when you have a mixed box... You will know how to figure out the flavors.
"itso yous bday," or "its y us bday?" Maybe you need to take them out and arrange them yourself: "I.d stay busy."
those 'nipple things' are the Sprinkles Cupcakes signature sprinkle, those are on most of their cupcakes. Best cupcakes ever, btw.
Omg! No sweat on the sixteen!
