Wrecky Mountain Highway

For some reason Courtney wasn't happy with the "mountains" she requested on her son's birthday cake:

Can't imagine why.

So she went back and explained she'd actually wanted RAISED mountains, not just flat drawings.

Happily, the bakery agreed to fix the cake.

And here's the finished result:

Not gonna lie; this made me laugh way longer than it should have. I keep picturing a baker with an ice cream scoop, a big tub of icing, and a deadpan expression. Bwahahaha!

Ahem.

But don't you worry, Courtney; I AM HERE TO HELP.

Check out some of the other "mountains" your fellow wrecky minions have sent in:

(I hear the hiking there is really crappy.)

(Oh, Frozen cake kit, why can't we quit you?)

And my personal favorite:

Mount Bakkaladeezhed.

There, Courtney, don't you feel better?

Thanks to Courtney G., Jessica G., Elaine S., Jeff D., & Kate V. for the sneak peaks.

And for no reason at all, whatsoever, here’s a groovy mountain shelf:

Something Punny About Literals

Just when you think the age of hilarious literal cakes is over, that bakers have all caught wind of this blog and therefore wised up to writing the order instructions ON the cake... you get a glorious triple-header in one week.

I like how the baker put the crown over the "Inside the Heart" part.

It's like, somehow, on some level, she knew.

Then there's the classic "covering all the bases" approach:

Baker: "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WAAAANT."

I kind of desperately want this last one to be intentional on the baker's part, because I can actually respect the sort of passive-aggressive snark it would take to do this on purpose:

See, when Susan ordered, she made a point of asking for decent handwriting.
Guess how she phrased it.

Thanks Teri B., Kristie, and Susan L. for renewing my faith in wreckerators. The age of Under Neat Thats lives on! Extra sprinkles for everybody!
