Please Be A Joke Please Be A Joke Please Be A Joke...
January 26, 2017 A couple of eagle-eyed wreckporters found a local ad I think you'll agree speaks for itself:
;)
"Top of the line," "cakes start at $200," and "no rude comments"?
Yep, nothing I can add here.
But in case you were wondering, "Just how long is Minnie's chin??" It's this long:
;)
All yours for the low, low prices of TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS. And that's a U.S. ad, so sadly there's no chance of a foreign exchange rate that equals out to "I'm Make Cakes" paying YOU a few bucks, which we all know would be the only reasonable price.
Thanks, Beth M. & Mandi J.! Now, why the long face?

The term "chutzpah" comes to mind.
Walt Disney must be rolling in his grave! (Does this person have copyright permission?)
It's a joke. It has to be. The pictures in the AD are pictures of wrecks we've all seen here on our favorite site. Look at Cindy? THAT one in particular I KNOW I saw here. Me thinks someone used those pics to make up this hopefully fake AD. It would be interesting if one of your wreck reporters actually responded to the AD just to see how far it goes, and then mess with them a little, or a lot. Yeah, mess with them big time. Are my evil tendencies showing again? I'm a wreckaholic and I like it!
I'm "make" comment: My favorite has to be the Hunny Pot cake with the love child of Winnie the Pooh and the Grimace. Or is that Jabba the Poo? Not sure which.
Technically that Minnie is a cupcake cake, which is still dreadful. I can't believe she stays in business. Who would order any of those?
A whole $1 discount if you mention the ad? Why that brings it down to such a reasonable rate for such excellent work!
$1 discount? Wow, this baker knows how to pull customers in...
Because I have been forbidden to leave a rude comment I'll just say, "Pooh-bah..."

Did the Nigerian prince grow up to be a baker? Are these cakes ones need just "$20 more to finish" after you've paid your low, low, price of $275? This has "barely literate scam" written all over it. Well... not literally, because we all know that would come out as "Bearly Litrate Sam".
Ah, but you DO get a whole dollar off if you mention the ad!
Well, at least Disney won't go after copyright infringement on these ...
Sounds like somebody has mildly overestimated their own abilities. Also, a $1 discount off a $200+ cake? Seriously?!
I can get a whole dollar off when I mention these ads? How on earth does this place stay in business with such steep discounts?! I can't "inbox" them fast enough!!
This? Right here? Is why companies like Disney go after small businesses for copyright infringement.
Okay, then!
I'M make fun of "Minnie Mumps"....er....cake?
I have to agree with Cookiemama. It has to be a joke. And I remember that, er, "princess" cake quite clearly from this page. To the wreckporter who sent this in: please, please, please get in touch with the baker and attempt to hire him/her. I HAVE to know!!!
It's gotta be a joke...someone doing the ultimate in trolling.
I'm on Team Joke. Someone is pulling your chin.
I didn't know Hello Kitty was Disney. When Disney buy Hello Kitty?
When did Jay Leno start impersonating Minnie Mouse?!
It honestly took me a few moments to figure out that was supposed to be Winnie the Pooh. I thought it looked like a yellow version of either the cartoon character Schmoo from the morning cartoons in the 70's, or a version of Slimer the ghost from Ghostbusters. @Dominic, I like either or your interpretations too.
Jay Leno called -- he wants his chin back.
Minnie Mouse bears an uncanny resemblance to Margaret Rutherford - the Miss Marple of the 1960s.
Chutzpah indeed!

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing the Minnie with the lipstick (the very last one pictured in the ad) here on cake wrecks...
Why are all candles on the Pooh cake all bunched up in the middle? Are they gathering together for safety or what?
Oh wow! You mean I could be charging $200+ for the cakes I make? I could surely do this bad..um..good? Wow! I'm going straight home after work and baking up a few examples. Baking time should take the longest, because, what, 10 minutes tops to decorate each one? Then I'll put an ad on social media and start raking in the $$$. I'll finally have that work-at-home job I always wanted.
LOVE the $1 discount - that's definitely going to convince me to have them cater my next party!
I also cracked up at "$1" off...even if these were great, what is $1 off a $200 cake even matter?! hahahaha
I nearly choked when I scrolled down to see how long Minnie's chin is. Note to self: Never eat or drink while reading Cake Wrecks.
Minnie Mouse and Jay Leno's love child?
I found the post on Facebook. I read through all the comments. I still don't know if it's a joke.
[Editor's note- Yeah, I'm not sure either. This sounds like somebody got caught doing something stupid and is trying to pass it off as a joke. At least, that's the impression that I got. "You wanna buy one of my cakes? No? Well... I was just... kidding! Obviously. I mean... sheesh." -john]
What WILL I do with that dollar???
I agree with Cookiemama - I think it's a joke someone photoshopped together. The cakes have wildly varying styles and techniques.
That last one looks like a young Jay Leno with a pink bow in his messy hair...
Is this cake a representation if Minnie Mouse and Jay Leno had a love child? :D
If your prices start at $200 and you only offer a $1 discount for mentioning your ad, you've got problems. If you are charging $200 and up for these, you've got serious problems. Good luck with that, but don't give up your day job.
Well...I have to admire their confidence.
Apparently I'm in the wrong business, if I could make $275 on a cup cake cake. Minus expenses that means I made $270 in like ten minutes
My daughter took one look and said "She has Kronk's chin." BWHAHAHAHA!
Right now some troll is bragging about how he managed to get a feature on the CW.
Minnie looks more like Pete.
One can only hope the decimal is missing. $1 off a $2.75 cake sounds more reasonable...
That's Minnie and Pete's love child, yes?
it was intentionally posted as a joke. :) Not by me, but here is the post.

I'm with Cookiemama; there is no way this ad is real. Bad grammar, awful cakes (some seen before), prices that would be too high even if the cakes were good ($275 for a CCC, ptui), and a ridiculous "discount", all add up to fake ad. (Maybe it is for a fake news newspaper.) (I paid $275 last month for an absolutely stunning cake that was 10,000 times better than the best CCC.)
Did Leno and Minnie have a love child?
$1 off?! Hahahaha amazing
I would pay THEM a dollar to NOT make me a cake. And I
can't come up with a comment that's not a rude one! I wonder how many orders they get?
I can do that for $199.
Just .......bless her heart.
Is that Minnie Mouse and Jay Leno's love child?
I'll do it for $175. $1 off if you mention this post. No rude comments.
