Stop. Helping.

It's only natural, I know. You see all the wreckage on this blog and you think, "Ok, but surely I can keep my order from being wrecked, right? I mean, all I have to do is help the baker out a little!

"Why, if I just spell it out clearly, military style..."

Nice job, Ace.

"Or maybe if I write it all down...

"And if I indicate which part is the actual text..."

"Um... Or what if I ask for just a single letter? That's easy, right?"

Color me impressed. Or magenta. 

"Ok, fine, I get it. You've made your point. No text. I guess I'll just ask for a flower or something."

"AAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHH!!"

Thanks to Katy E., Cristina B., Terry M., Brandt H., & Anony M. for making this post literally painful.

P.S. I've been looking for extra non-candy options to give out for Halloween this year, and I'm loving this adorable sticker pack:

 Waterproof Halloween Sticker Pack, 200 Pcs

There's a huge variety, and you get 200 pieces for $9 Prime. Great option for teachers or party packs, too!

Wedding Wrecks

Pay very close attention to these cake pairs, now; I wouldn't want you to get the Wreck mixed up with the Inspiration Cake. [eye roll]

First up:

Elodie M. asked her baker to do this, only with far fewer rose petals. The baker obliged by providing this:

Ah, nothing symbolizes the beginning of a new life with the one you love quite like shriveled old rose petals. On the plus side, at least they distract the eye away from the poor cake construction. The weird grass sprigs sprouting haphazardly from the side and top help in that arena, too.

Next, Claire G. discovered the hard way how important "pipemanship" (as opposed to penmanship) is.

What she wanted:

(I believe this is from Martha Stewart.)

What she got:

Such delicacy, such grace...

By the by, I don't monogram much, but I think the middle initial is supposed to be larger than the other two. I also think that if "msk" were a word, it would accurately describe the leveling job done on the leaning wonder here.

And lastly, Hannah W. asked for this, only with square tiers instead of round:

She even brought in the brown ribbon and fresh blue hydrangeas for the bakery to use. Pretty simple, right? Just make some white square tiers. But you know how some bakeries are, always complicating things...

Let's see. Misshapen layers, lumpy icing, no ribbon, electric teal icing "flowers"... What seems to be the problem, Hannah?
