Chef When the Icing on the Cake Spells Disaster

Someone who decorates cakes for a living should possess certain skills. Spelling is an important one. For example, success is not quite as sweet when the inscription reads, “Contralulation’s Ronan.” An eye for color helps, too. Piped dark brown swirls are never a good idea on a cake dotted with plastic farm animals. Finally, a few words about customer service: When someone requests that nothing be written on the cake, “NOTHING” should not be written on the cake.

I think I read somewhere that most of the big bakeries do, if for no other reason than to make sure their stuff isn't on there (or if it is that it's accurate and not photoshopped or something). And probably because they probably find it as hilarious as everyone else.

Ponder

When all is said and done though, the cakes can still be eaten and the mistake fades into memory like the taste of so much butter frosting - these cock-ups on tattoos are the ones that make me wince/laugh.



Two marrows never know? Hm...I guess they do look kinda ignorant.
