These Wrecks Have Got Your Number

So there's this hilarious wrecky outbreak happening across our nation's bakeries, but it requires a little explanation before you can truly appreciate how funny it is.

Here's the deal:

See that? That's an edible image sheet. These sheets are supposed to work like individual stickers: you cut them up and only use the numbers & phrases you need.

 

Instead, bakers just keep plastering the entire sheet on a cake.

At first I figured it HAD to be intentional. Maybe they give you an edible marker with the cake, so you circle the right numbers?

 

Then I saw this:

You've gotta wonder: what does the baker THINK is happening here?

 

Or how about this one:

That's right; the baker cut up the sheet so it would all (kind of) fit.

Love the random "th" sticking out of the bottom.

 

I think most people are too confused to understand what's wrong with these cakes, but enough of you are still sending them in. So, I've just been collecting them:

Biding my time...

Waiting for the right moment to finally ask:

Seriously, bakers?

SERIOUSLY??

 

Thanks to Heather W., Angela F., Heather C., Ashley M., Emily F., Melissa L., & Heather D. for the big pile of sheet... cakes.

Today I learned they sell birthday candles you attach to your drinks. Your boozy drinks.

Now, I'm not sure who thought combining an open flame with alcohol was a good idea, but going by all the rave reviews on these things, that person is apparently a genius. So hey, if you're looking to add a festive-yet-dangerous touch to your next happy hour, BOOM. There it is.
