Cake Disasters

This is what happens when there is a failure in communication …. or the cake decorators are just plain stupid.

“Best wishes Suzanne” and underneath that “We will miss you”. Yes, you got it!

The customer wanted the lettering to be done in green. Another one next..

Any guesses what the customer wanted?

Wonder what happened here? Well, the customer ordered “Phillip dot dot dot WOOHOO!!!”

What is a pen drive doing on a cake? This is the phone conversation that led to it.

[Bakery answering phone]: "Cakey Cake Bakery, Jill speaking! How can I help you?"

Customer: "Hi, I need to order a cake for my boss. We have a photo of him playing golf that we'd like to put on it, though - can you do that?"

"Of course! Just bring the photo in on a USB drive and we'll print it out here."

"Great, I'll bring it by this afternoon."

Later...

"Hey, Jill, what am I putting on this cake?"

"Oh, check the counter; I left the jump drive out for you there."

[calling from the back room] "Really? This is what they want on the cake?"

"Yeah, the customer just brought it in."

"Okey dokey!"

A high black heel was all she wanted.

This isn’t a geeky cake. It’s a machine error. Apparently the store in question had an online ordering form, which then linked directly to the edible-ink printer. So much for automation.
