A Failure To Communicate, Vol. 243
I like how the only thing legible is the one word NOT supposed to be there:
Erin K. wanted her daughter's cake to be oriented vertically, or portrait-style, but the baker wasn't getting it.
"You know, the long way?"
*headdesk*
When you want a big 75, NOT a "big 75."
Can I quote you on that?
In fact, a lot of butchered instructions end up as new nick names:
Give up?
They wanted "thank you" written in pink.
And this one didn't want any gel icing:
Here's a blast from the past: a Historical Society hosted a "President's Tea."
Thank goodness they weren't screening old 80s TV shows there, too!
Can you imagine if it'd been the "President's Tea & A-Team Party?"
Now imagine, if you will, the ordering process that resulted in this cake:
I'm picturing a Monty Python sketch, myself.
"No, I want you to STAY HERE, and write the names underneath!"
"So I'm to write these names twice and capitalize 'Underneath.' Got it."
"No, no, it's quite simple. Write 'Happy Birthday' once, and the names underneath."
"If, if, uh... If, if, uh... Oh! Can I write the names three times... IF I use extra sprinkles?"
"AAAAAAUUGH!"
Thanks to Terry M., Erin K., Dan E., Stephanie D., Melanie K., Karen A., & Damon E. - AND NO SINGING!

P.S. Speaking of things that make your head hurt, a friend recently got me this gel cap for my migraines, and sweet icy Stay Puft, y'all, it's amazing:
I have a huge head and a lot of hair, so it's pretty snug on me, but the extra pressure with the cold is heavenly during a migraine. I used to hold a cold pack and keep shifting it around from side to side, but this wraps my entire skull in a cooling hug. Ahhhh so good.
I keep the gel cap sealed in the fridge all the time now, so I can grab it as soon as a headache starts up. The cold only lasts 15-20 minutes, but it's 1000% worth it in my book, highly recommend.
