9 Times Strategic Thinking Really Paid Off
September 1, 2016 As you know, September is International Strategic Thinking Month, so while we hang our Strategic Stockings and hum the Strategery anthem, let's take a quick break for cake... strategically.
1: Is your handwriting too big?
;)
2: Too small?
;)
C: Did you start too high?
;)
D: Or too drunk?
;)
5: Do you need to break up a word with a dash?
;)
F: Did you put the emPHAsis on the right syLAble?
;)
VII: Do you know how balloons work?
;)
XVII: Are you feeling dizzy?
;)
And if all else fails, remember: with a little strategic thinking you can print your cake design, thereby eliminating the chance of any... uh... oh.
;)

Perfec!
Thanks to Anony M., Mark T., Lori T., Kelly M., Dan F., Gabrielle, Erin V., Anony M. & Amanda M. for planning ahead - but next time we'd prefer a hand.

Strategery the Beautiful (The Strategery Anthem)
Oh, piping tips that are too big
And writing that's too small
Some sentiments go round and round
And some just seem to fall
Strategery, strategery will help us every time
Oh planning should make our cakes good
And ward off wreckie crimes
At first, I thought that cake XVII said, "Congrats Snoiter". I think that may have been better than what actually happened.
And now I must find a random object and begin calling it "Snoiter".
Think Ahea
d!
And I really mean that! The "con-grats Dan" looks like "Con-grats ..Dam..." LIke "dam... I made a mistake!"..
POSITIVELY HILARIOUS - as al-ways! ...
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out the dizzy cookie cake had nothing to do with a snoital. Looks like I picked a bad day to stop drinking.
On "Are you feeling dizzy?', "Congratulations" is spelled right.
The "drunk" one was just written "Happy B-day" vertically.
The only thing wrong with that one is they didn't completely cover the chocolate chip cookie an inch deep in icing, before putting on the "Happy B-day" vertically.
What are the qualifications for being a store baker? Just alive with a pulse?! O_o
Interesting numbering in this list. But somehow you jumped from 7 to 17. :)
"You make one little mistake, and your perfect baking record doesn't get you anything. You wind up on Cakewrecks. Perfect."
"Perfect!"
(I've been watching way too much primetime t.v.).
At first glance, I read the cookie as "Congratu Snoital". I need to lie down now.
Is it just me or does that look less like balloons on #7 and more like sperm?
Cong RATS, are those related to Rodents of unusual size?
"Dammit, Jim! It's a cookie, not a clock!!"
C - Congratulations Shaman. Bad juju? Or evil spirits (possibly rum)?
Never mind the spacing, the writing on cakes 2 & 3 is dreadful! I'm sure whoever bought them could have done a much better job themselves with a tube of writing icing. Mind you, nothing could make cake 3 anything but a wreck.
International Strategic Thinking Month? Where do you find these things?
Smurf sperm.
Definitely Smurf sperm.
Actually, with helium being in short supply worldwide and vitally important for medical imaging, I predict helium balloons will soon be banned and Magnolia's cake will look exactly right. :-)
"Strategery anthem" Strategy Anthem was not good enough for you? If it had been written that way on a cake, you would be making fun of it...
Or was it to give SuBee the right number of syllables for her parody?
Okay, what is "Snoiter" really? I can get "Snoxtbr," but that's all.
I read the cookie as "Congrats Snotgirl"...oy...don't think either one is an improvement over the other...o_0
