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!!

Why, yes, that IS a watermark... and a file name.

So did the baker really just grab the first thing she found on Google Image Search??

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.

These Sports Wrecks Are In A League Of Their Own

It's Sports Cliché Week, minions, and the gloves. are. off.

angie+tal.ow.baseball+ccc.jpg

No, like, REALLY off.

So let's get the ball rolling with some slam dunk sports clichés!

Though maybe next time don't dunk them so hard. 

That "baseball" is NEVER gonna roll.

Here's something out of left field:

Now that's what I call a sticky widget.

:D

(Oof, that was a terrible joke. Just call me Wayne Regret-ski.)

(Heyoooooooo)

(Ahem.)

Looks like this cake is down for the count:

Don't worry; I'm sure this kid's 2rd birthday will be a knockout.

And finally, you know what they always say in sports: 

Go big or go home!

No no no.

I said, go BIG, or go home!

That's better. You can stay.

Although I'm just gonna be over here looking at my phone for a while, so.... yeah. Maybe you should go on home anyway.

Same time tomorrow, though?

Cool.

Cool cool cool.

Thanks to Angie T., Heather M., Liz J., Erin, Lauren C., Kimmie D.,  & Sophie P., for taking one for the team.
