10 Reasons Edible Images Are The Absolute WORST (Plus One That's Pure Gold)

You'd think printing out your decorations would make them LESS wrecky, but... NOPE.

10 Reasons Edible Images Are The Absolute WORST:

1) Because even though bakers COULD use spell-check...

...they don't.

And also that pesky spacing thing.

2) Because now it looks like the cake is wrapped in fabric:

3) Or shiny plastic:

(I've seen Slip n' Slides that looked thinner than that stuff. Think you need scissors to cut it?)

4) Because the printer always runs out of ink and turns everyone green:

But thank goodness bakeries don't let that stop them.

5) Because of the badly Photoshopped photo collages:

6) And free clip art:

7) Because it gets all shiny and slimy:

*hurk*

8) Because square paper, round cookies cakes:

Ahhh, SEAMLESS.

9) Because creepy ultrasounds:

"NO I DON'T WANT THE FACE PIECE, JOAN."

And finally, the best/worst reason edible images are the worst?

10) Because bakers keep doing this:

Not cool, bakers. Not cool.
