Note: You folks following me on the social networking site which shall not be named have already seen this, but it's just too good to keep as a Twits-Only exclusive.

Tee hee, can't wait to see how that turns out. XD
they say that pride comes before a fall!!!!!
I will be watching this space!
Classic --oh that is so great! Glad you happened by that wreck of a sign!
There are just no words! I absolutely love your blog....
That's so perfect, it's like its own kind of art.
HAHAHAHAHAH! Love It!
That is amazing. Ha!

Can't wait 'til you get your hands on them!
If they can't spell correctly on the banner, how in the heck are they gonna spell "Congratulations" or "Kindergarten" properly?!?!?
HAHAHA oh no. They might want to change the name, NOW.
LOVE IT!!! Which town is this, by the way? I want to see the future baked goods for myself!
Maybe they set the bar a little too high with the name...
This is the first time I've commented but I love all of the wreckiness you share. Thanks!
That is hilarious! There's also a shop that's called Cupcake's here in LV. I don't get the apostraphe! Does Cupcake own the shop?
HA!
That is just too funny! I see many a great cakewreck leaving those doors.
WOW.. that is priceless!
ohhh... I can't wait!!!!
There's a store near my home with a vinyl sign that reads; "No Quality." Hmph. At least they are honest!
lostladder
Oh that just made my bad day soooo much better. You need to have friends and family order cakes through them to see if the sign really was an omen:).
That is excellent! I bet it's another fine work from the people who brought us the "Now offering Brakfast" and "Breakfast with Satan" banners.
Oh, how easily English is abused.
Haha, brilliant! I'm sure we'll see some "masterpieces" soon. (Scare quotes intended, lol.)
don't mean to get off the subject of cakes, but....there's a good directory thrift shops at www.thethriftshopper.com
OOOhhhhh that is too funny!!!!!
HA! Awesome!
That is classic!!!
Hahahahahah!!
Wow. Signmakers who can't spell or proof is way worse than bakers who can't!
"Perfect". LOL!
Alex
Eye sew went two sea thee kegs form these hear plays!
Oh, no.
You MUST get us photos when it opens! :D
WV - diplema
"Congalulation's On Youre Diplema!!" - Future Wreck, I just know it.
At least they used 'o'.
You would think they would have caught that in the sign shop!
*groan*
Let's hope so!
First I thought...that has to be fake. Then I thought...oh my gosh...it's a Cake Wrecks Theme Bakery!!
Hahahaha! I would be first in line to get my cake there! Oh, it's "perfect"!
Awesome.
Perfect, indeed!
The owner/sign maker must read cake wrecks....great marketing technique!!
Or not. We need spies to go here and scrutinize everything they do.
Totttallly awesome!
That is Awesome!! You'll have to check out their cakes once they open. :)
absolutely too funny.
Well, at least they didn't spell it with a "U".
Oh I hope so!
Awesome baner!
Oh my goodness, I just noticed the extra M' in Comming. ;) This is interesting!
Does this count as a double wreck? I mean the sign folk didn't catch it before it went out the door, and the cake folk went ahead and put it up.... Maybe they were hoping the humor would bring the customers a'runnin.
Becky
hahahaha, wv: wantse - The customers will come just because they wantse how bad the cakes really are.
The cake shop owner apparently needed to write "Coming with one M" on the order form, but then again we know how that invariably turns out...
I'm trying to figure out how to pronounce that. Comming as in Commuting?
Oh, the wrecks they will make!
maybe it's an online bakery? i.e .comming soon.
sorry, that's the best I could do!
I am so excited to see what comes out of this place!
I can't wait to see the wrecks that come out of that bakery. I'm sure they'll be perfect.
how perfect! glad you found that.
love your blog, i'm a new reader!
I expect great things from this bakery...
I wish it said "Nomming Soon!"
Perfect, can't wait to see what's "comming" next.
wv - hysti
I'll bet there's going to be a few hysti fits when the customers see their cakes.
Oh joy...I would order a cake the first day it opened JUST so I would have a picture to put on here. Sad that the sign makers can't spell and even more sad that the owners didn't spot the mistake before hanging it.
These guys are going to specialize in super wrecky cakes!!! I Can't Wait!!
Can't wait for the show to begin...
I can't wait! Wrecks are the highlight of my day!
To quote Lelaina Pierce*, "I really can't define 'irony', but I know it when I see it!"
*Reality Bites (but you probably knew that)
It least it wasn't spelled with a "U"! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Oh No... They sure wouldn't win my business with a banner like that. Already off on the wrong foot!
A sign of wrecks to come-thanks for making me laugh tonight
This should be funny
"That is hilarious! There's also a shop that's called Cupcake's here in LV. I don't get the apostraphe! Does Cupcake own the shop?"
Hm,,, I hope that the misspelled 'apostraphe' was tongue in cheek.. :)
THat is too good! Hahaha.
wv: mabbi--"Mabbi, just mabbi, they did that on porpoise!"
well, they said "Perfect Cakes Bakery"....they said nothing about them being "Perfect Cakes with Perfect Spelling"! :)
BWAHHHHHHHAAAAA!
We can only hope!
Perfect cakes, my butt! I'm sure they'll end up making some doozies :-P
That's beautiful man.
A little ironic that the "Perfect" Cakes Bakery can't spell....
teehee.
You should submit that into the fail blog :p
~Vickie
Maybe we need to start a Sign Wrecks blog....
Pass the popcorn. It's going to be a great show.
wv: hiedis. Perfect Cakes store owner: "Maybe we can hiedis extra 'M' with a carrot jockey baby."
I wonder if that's a mistake, or if they intend to have Uhura announce something over the comm when this place opens.
I didn't even notice the mispelling at first. I figured someone calling their business "Perfect cakes" was just being presumptuous.
First off, I was reading through the comments, and just realized that there is another Drisana that reads this! That's a pretty small world if you ask me!
----------
Wow. what a cake shop. I want to get a cake from there so I can see how wrecky it is!
OMG, hilarious, LOVE IT!!!!
Yeah, somehow I too get the feeling that this doesn't exactly bode well for the business... unless their customers have a good sense of humor. :P
Madam Cake Wrecks Chair,
I move we change the name to
Defect Cakes Bak'ry.
Off to a good start already by making a Perfect Cake of themselves.
Or are they secretly readers here and just baiting the hook? Hmm?
WV: aggsne. Aggsne again how to spell it.
i'm wondering if you put "auuugh" with CW3 because it looks like Charlie Brown's kite crashing?
Holy bat crap! How on earth does a misspelling like that make it past the sign maker??
Aiming for perfection is a noble goal. Clearly, it is harder to achieve than they thought.
@ Vashti "they say that pride comes before a fall!!!!!"
Or maybe pride comes before a fail.
that is too funny b/c there is the same sign (but for PIZZA HEAVEN) near my house. PIZZA HEAVEN COMMING SOON!
what's going on here?
And it's right in your town. How convenient!
I wonder if they knew what they were getting into when they moved into your town.
Actually, it's a GREAT sign!
I worked at a place that told me that stores misspell their store opening soon signs on purpose. It catches peoples eyes, they get to feel superior, the store can say it was the sign company's fault...
This reminds me of a girl that sent me a resume for a job I had posted. Her resume boasted about her "attention to details" but was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. LOL
Apparently Chloe O'Brien is "putting this on com" so Jack Bauer will never be without a Perfect Cake? That HAS to be what they mean, right?
And why oh why do I think this store is in my metro area... I swear this is a sign-wreck that could only happen in FloriDUH.
WV: consip
Ah yes. I knew this was local to me. Turns out we're six degrees separated on FB, lol.
i just need to add that my 7-year-old nephew was able to spot the mistake AND the irony in this...
just drove by this place in Orlando. they fixed the sign!

You all DO know that they mispell signs like those on purpose. It gets more 'looks' than a correctly spelled sign. Ask anyone who works in a sign shop.
