The Big O Finale

They say she studied her head off for that diploma:

 

Which is an excellent segue for...

Brains, caps, heads - oh, yeah. It's allll comin' together.

 

John couldn't stop snort-giggling over this one. I think it has something to do with the hand placement:

Now I want to order a microphone cake (yes, that's supposed to be a microphone), walk into a random stranger's party, say something cryptic, like "That's why Hufflepuffs ALWAYS LOSE THEIR SOCKS", and then drop it. (The cake, not the party.)

Because "Messy Mic Drop Ruins Party" would be an awesome headline.

 

And finally, I believe this wedding baker was trying for something like this:

 

But instead....

Pro Tip: If your floral design starts to look like an angry vagina, maaaaybe re-think the Big O topper.

 

Thanks to Alison A., Chelsea M., Sahana S., & Vanessa, who'd like to point out that could also be a giant zero. (See? These things practically write themselves.)

When Photo Cakes Go Wrong

Karen noticed something a bit odd about her son's "sports-themed" cake:

I mean, besides it being this ugly.

Here, let's take a closer look at that top picture, shall we?

ENHANCE!!

Of course not.

It's more like the 10th thing she found on Google Image Search.

I checked.

(If you'd like to play along, just type in "lacrosse sticks clipart.")

 

Bakers don't have to print the file name to wreck a photo cake, though.

They can also do this!

Or this!

Or the baker could leave off the image entirely, and just write the design number instead!

Trust us, Rebecca, it's better this way.

 

You know how, in every crime show, they always find a hidden room with a whole wall covered in newspaper clippings & creepy photo collages?

NOW IT COMES IN CAKE!

I like to think these are all the baker's victims.

"Looks like someone," [removing sunglasses] "GOT SERVED."

 

And finally, for you Doctor Who fans, here's how to take this famous Van Gogh print from the show:

 

And make a Whovian cry until they laugh:

BAD BAKER.

 

Thanks to Karen C., Jennifer I., Mindi A., John P., Kelli, & Anony M. for taking the time.
