...some of us need to start minding our "L"s and "F"s.
[Warning: Parents, clear the room of innocents!]
One cake, two drastically different meanings:
Yes, yes, I know it's an "L." Well, kind of an L/F hybrid, really. In fact, you
might say if L and F got together, had a few drinks...
No?
No.
Ok, then.
Good juck?
Eh. I got nuthin'.
This, on the other hand, is giving me a little too
much:
Go ahead, Wreckerator. Tell us how that's an "L."
Or better yet, why don't we all go over the importance of keeping certain letters separated?
I bet that's one office send-off Janet will never forget.
And btw, I love that the Wreckerator threw in the towel at the "J."
Like, s/he was all, "Let's see, I nailed that capital L, but man, I dunno if I can pull off the J! Huh.
Ah, screw it."
Thanks to Caitlin B., Christopher P., Chrissy G., Robin S., who agree that all performance reviews should be written in frosting.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 542 of 542 Newer› Newest»...and this just reenforces my idea that I could never be a cake decorator: my cursive "f"'s and "l"'s are identical. Remember kiddies, this is why you learn cursive!
Oh I want your book! I read your blog every day, and today I am making my daughter's first birthday cake. I just had to come on for some encouragement before I made the attempt. Now I remember why I am making it myself, because no matter how bad I screw it up, someone else would have done worse.
Melissa Isaacson
Um...the second one could say 'Good Tuck', yeah that's it. Or they could all say good luck...if you squint really hard...or close your eyes...and pretend it said l-oh nevermind! They all say the same thing anyways!

Oh dear, that'll lead to some explaining in the bakery line.
that lunny
(in script)
Come on come on come on. Draw me. I really want that autograph. The book might be nice too. Hopefully it's the right thickness to prop up the short leg on my table. (Just kidding!)
I like books!! :-)
ROFLMAO... no seriously. After the first one I thought it couldn't get better. But then there was the last cake. LOL.
Thanks for the giggle. :)
Kaisee....
I'm thinking that maybe these aren't wrecks after all. People will celebrate pretty much anything these days!
Obviously these wrecktators missed their callings a physicians.
Whether those are L's or F's, these cakes just seem very sarcastic.
So, this is how I'll explain to my mother-in-law why cursive is going out of style...
I fear the art of cursive writing is slowly being weaned out of younger generations. This will unfortunately lead to more and more mistakes and obvious ridiculousness like that last Wreck.
...suppose they were told to decorate in cursive and got all literal with it? nah..
Um...and good *uck to you too! Was it good for you?
WV: disters. Used in a sentence, All these cakes are disters, as in disasters LOL
I want to meet someone who made these kinds of cakes on purpose! haha! Never realized that l and f could be so similar!
-Heather E.
I'm blonde... so it took me a sec... but... oh did I get it. lol
Ah..... just luck it. :)
Color me entered to win!
Oh my... Love them all couldn't pick a favorite today to save my life... to those that can pick--- Good LUCK ha ha ha ha.....
On Epbot you mentioned that you were concerned that some of your racier posts were turning viewers off...I think posts like this are the ones that keep me coming back and sharing on FB. Keep up the good work! Love your book!
Or it could be a brand-new letter that these Wreckerators unintentionally coined: a combination of "F" and "L" so, the cake would actually read "Good Fluck!"
Yeah.
Stephanie
Oh, dearie...
WV: rewark. Those wreckerators should probably rewark the formation of their "L"s
Hi Jen! Just wanted to say that I've been a fan of Cakewrecks since it was just a weeee little blog with some funny pics. I was in high school at the time and I'd sneak out of my first-hour classes to read the blog. I'm in college now, and still check the site religiously (even on Saturdays, just to be sure!). To put my fandom into perspective, I check this site before I check Facebook.
Coming from a 19-year old college girl, that's a lot. :) Love you guys!
-Kaite
Oh yeah Brenduh from Canaduh!!!!! Well I would name mine Fred and I would dress it up in a little suit and have it meet my little dollies and I would have tea parties with it and sleep with it even though I already have one!!!!!!!!!!!! To end this comment on a high note,(pun intended) Here is a song to Cake Wrecks: cough, cough, HAAAAAAKKK *sips water* mememeeeeee "Cake Wrecks is the awesomest blog I know and I just want to say one thiiiiiiiiinnngggg WRECK OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -Sarah
Seriously reading Cake Wrecks is always the highlight of my day! Keep up the wit, hiliarity and snark! This post was awesome-sauce!
Thank You! You weren't bad either!*Janet
want want want pleeeeeease?
After a long rough day, your blog never fails to make me smile and chuckle. Thanks for the laugh today. I needed it
Maybe they got an "F" in handwriting? I don't think they even grade you for that anymore. Although, I went to a Catholic school. It probably was just graded for additional punishment.
All English teachers are developing headaches now. Doncha think?
I want to be witty here, but really, I just keep giggling over those supposed Ls...
haha....i love these cakes!
We deal with some crazy handwriting at work. It's usually within the company, though. The customers get printed matter.
You know if these were delivered cakes, maybe the wreckerators were piping and driving, hence the mangled L's?
Umm...yeah, in other words I got nuthin. Am also going to stay away from a piping bag - methinks I would make these people look good, and that's saying something. :P
Pamela W.
I WANNA WIN!!!! (and I love your blog)
-Lighningshock
I never knew people gave cakes the day after hehe
Vw: tricle. Once is good, twice is ok, but tricle kill ya.
That is hysterical! I walked around work all afternoon giggling about it. Thanks for the smiles!
Good thing it wasn't a kids cake that said something about a Luck Dragon.
Insert sexy comment worthy of a prize here
Lood Lreif!
sam i am
Post for free stuff, lol
Love your stuff!
They brought that last cake out right before they brought out the infamous "Sexual Harassment" cake. I think it would have had more of an impact that way!
Hahahah, this is just priceless!
Is it bad that I want one of those cakes? XD
Am I weird that I saw "S" not "L" or "F"??
Granted, Suck isn't really nice, either, now is it?
*sigh* lol!
~~Di
At least they didn't also include semen balloons on Janets cake...
I love it.
Dammit, Janet! I "L"uck you....
C'mon, no RHPS references? For shame!
Yeah, that last one? No way that's a real L. Lucky Janet, I guess. ;)
Let's see, I need a baby shower cake. I know, how about one of those big, pregnant belly n' boob cakes with the lovely crotch shot, and the words Good "L"uck underneath? Yeah, that should do it.
leaving comment here.
I made a cake that said the same thing after my husband and I conceived our daughter... tmi?
(The real question is did I use L or F????)
I wonder if anyone has ever made a cake displaying "Happy Birlday" while in all honesty thinking it was spelled properly (and writing an L instead of an F)?
Either way, I turn 29 tomorrow, and I hope I win a CW calendar. It's been a great birthday week so far, and that would be the icing on the cake (pun absolutely intended). :)
I didn't know you got a cake for being a good...ohhhh, it's an "L"?! Silly me, I was sure it was an F....
Good £uck!
I want a calendar!
I'm now giggling like a school girl at all these naughty cakes
oh my gosh, I laughed so hard at my desk with the "wow" cake I peed a little in my pants. Good thing it's the end of the day! LOL--Lisa
I`m in Japan so I always read your posts later than everyone else...I`m glad that my coworkers can`t understand English. They think that American cakes are very strange. "Why so many colors?" I wish I could send you a Japanese cake because they are fantastic! I`ll be on the lookout for J-wrecks, but honestly, I think America is the most wrecktastic land of all.
(p.s. pick me!!! It was just my birthday the other day...)
What's worse? If it's an 'L' looking like an 'F', or if it is supposed to be an 'F'...
Yay, my firs comment on the site, does that get me a book? :)
F...L....close enough, they're both letters right?
Deana
Ooh, I want a book! Or a calendar!
Sorry, I used up today's wittiness allotment on my Facebook comment.
ok, i will be honest it took me a few minutes to realize what was wrong about this cake....lol...yeah i am a blond!
and am I the only one who thought it was funny to see that someone used the wrong end of the petal tip to make that rose? hahaha
hmmm.... subliminal messages?
I think I'm gonna go have some "good luck" with my husband tonight.
I have no idea why I can never see Cake Wrecks on my news feed anymore. I'm still a fan/like the page yet the posts don't make it. *sad*
I think they really REALLY need to choose another font for writing on cakes...
I should really be doing work now but well, I'm just lazy.
::headdesk:: ::headdesk:: ::headdesk::
Do these people not show their work to someone else to proofread before it goes out the door????
I really want a book!
Maybe they really meant to make an "F" for Janet. . . she even got a cake for her skills!!
Poor poor people.....
I laughed so hard my husband had to come check on me. Love it.
My word verification today is "scankrot." That sounds dirty.
That first cake looked more like "Good Suck" to me. XD
Maybe these people weren't trained to write in cursive like I was in elementary.
Laughing out loud. As usual!
I have nothing witty to say but I really need a calendar. Plus, I'm drunk. That totally makes me entitled to just about everything, yes?
wv: Prosesc - I totally forgot to take my prosesc today and now the voices won't leave me alone.
Well I guess there a lot of really happy guys and gals out there. I mean, it was so good, they said it with CAKE!!!
--Liz Dumler
:)
That's what she said.
i've tried obscure star wars characters- (come on, oola the twilek slave dancer, she's almost as obscure as knowing that something like darriko is the name of the assasin smoking the pipe in the cantina), i've tried obnoxious songs. so for now i'll just say, please.
Great post! I like the first cake -- as if they are surprised that it should be good!
For some reason, I keep seeing an S in the first two ones instead of an L or an F. Still gives an interesting meaning to the whole inscription though...
Wow just wow, i want to go order a good luck cake and see what i get now. The letter L is so difficult to make right?
word verification; clipulit
.... not going there
Wow...and I thought my piping was bad...
No-one ever gives ME a cake to tell me that... is that a bad sign? Coz I'm taking it as a bad sign
The girls in the bakery where I work got a big kick out of these! Although some of the L's were not bad, that last one was too funny!!
I can't wait until the next time I have to write Good Luck on a cake! You KNOW I'll be snickering to myself.
Love this blog. Would love to win the book! Thanks for give aways!
...and these came from 3 different bakeries?!
Maybe the folks receiving these cakes were planning on starting a family (that night) and friends were trying to be encouraging -?
I'm told that these days children cannot write/read cursive. So that's ok for an 'adults only' cake.
Great google moogly! Those were fuh-knee!
Do we know that all of these were not done on purpose? Wishing someone "Heppy Birday" is one thing, but these actually have a defensible meaning. 'Just sayin'. Either way, thanks for sharing. They were hysterical, unintended or not.
I think I have something in my eye *blinking rapidly*
I really want to win that book. Wish me...um...luck?
(Something went wrong; let's try this again.)
I really want to win that book. Wish me...um...luck?
Wow, I can't believe no one caught these before they were sent out - some of them are so obvious! And people wonder why they teach handwriting in elementary school....
P.S. Word verification was cotbute - That's another one that sounds bad no matter how you say it!
Dammit, Janet, I love you......
yes please!
I've never gotten a cake for doing THAT before!
Fordy, Fordy, Fordy, my mother's name was Janet..; }
Bahahahaha! Oh man, HOW do these decorators step back, look over their word, and say "ah, perfect"?
great luckin' post!
When my youngest was learning to talk and had major speech issues, my step-son tried to teach her to say "truck". Yea, it didn't *quite* come out that way. Luckily she has just graduated out of speech therapy and can now articulate her tr sounds (and never mixes it up with the f sound anymore!)
(P.S. the book would make me so happy)
This makes me giggle AND feel guilty.
Word verification: Spiture. As in, "These cakes make me giggle and spiture all over them."
Wait a second?! A calendar! Yes please!
Eew! What is the frosting on the second one made out of? I can taste how gross it is just by looking at it. The first and third are definitely made by the same person. The good news about the last one is that Janet was able to overlook her name being spelled Tanet.
I hope I have all the um... Luck in getting the book. hee hee
Really, how do we know that those who ordered the cakes ever wanted them to say 'Luck' at all?
Ooo! I hope it's not too late! Wish me luck...
Most people just say it with flowers.
I'll post the calendar on my wall at work for all to see! I'll give the book to my daughter who introduced me to Cake Wrecks! My profile picture is real and really funny!
I usually read this site right before I go to bed. Always puts a smile on my face. So, tonight I'm enjoying the struggle some incounter with writing a letter "L" with frosting ... I know what's going to happen. I know it's coming ... and then once I see it I just BUST UP LAUGHING. I was totally prepared to see it, and still I'm hurting from laughter. I love this site. Good Luck and G'night.
Ah memories... My now-11-year-old son pronounced "tr" as "f" until he was 4. We lived down the street from the fire station. That was 3 years of very interesting vehicles driving by 2-3 times a day. Oh, and nothing freaks grandma out more than hearing her 3-yr-old grandson shouting "Fire *uck" at the top of his lungs. If only I'd know we could've ordered a cake to commemorate those days...
My handwriting is that bad, I just don't put it on anything that can be seen in public! OMG!
BTW: Pick me pick me!
I am going to be wishing for this to happen the next time I have to order a work cake... and then play dumb as people read the cake. "What?! It says Good Luck... see it's cursive." LOL
That last cake really just needs an 'o' missing from 'good' to be even more incredibly awkward...
WV: fulkay... not really looking to elaborate on that one...
-Hannah
These Wreckators should sign contracts stating they will only write on cakes in CAPITAL BLOCK LETTERS.
You always make my day!
Ooohhhh... wanna book! wanna book! wanna book!
Rose
Um... please?
Well, at least both sentiments are pleasant...?
And, wall calendar! Woohoo!
Y'know, I always read this blog. But darn if I've ever left so many comments consecutively before. Amazing what free stuff will inspire people to do.
I WANNA WIN!
Ahem...
At least I didn't get a going away cake when I left to get married I would hate to have seen what it would have said.. or possibly said depending on the wreckerator lol.
...at least they said "GOOD"..um...whatever, and not "BAD"...well, you know...I mean if you're gonna...OH, nevermind...I'll go to my corner now.
on the first one it seems like the wow was added as a description of the total mess up of good luck
This might be the best post ever.
Commenting :) I've been known to conluse a lew f's and l's in my file, but never p's or q's!
Looks like some wreckorators got lucky last night...
Just when I need a good laugh, you come through for me again!
It seems like this should be a Saturday Night Live skit... changing all the Ls to Fs to see what happens. Love you as always!
-Donna W.
Ha! I'm a doctor who actually has pretty good handwriting but I've been guilty of a few "ur"'s looking like "w"'s. Ie, when describing fluids - urine clear or urine red.
Do we know that these were actually supposed to be L's in the first place?? I'm thinking no..... :)
Well, I suppose these could be appropriate as wedding cakes. Maybe? Just a little? No? K, just me finding that funny. Oh well.
Don't get me started on why I'm going to Canada in the hopes I'll marry a Mountie.............
I think I'd be a little flattered if I received the last cake. Er, maybe not at work.
And there's a third interpretation lurking, at least for the first cake--doesn't anyone else see an 'S'?
good god, ALL of those looked like F!
WV: pogratie -- miniature potatoes au gratin.
Maybe the L's are just drunk?
That last one is the worst! That's totally a conventional cursive F!
Anon Rebecca
The first one looks like it could say "suck".
The first one looks more like "Good Suck" to me...which is almost as bad.
I've never seen so many people have so much trouble with the letter L!
Wow. Someone really lucked up.
At least you can tell it was done by hand.
Whee hello!
Oh man! Thanks for posting my cake submission!!! Yeah, a really good send-off! LMAO!
that first cake seems sarcastic
LMAO!!!! Do these people know the difference between L and F?!
check out my blgo: nikkiscakery.blogspot.com
Lmao I'm totally making my partner a cupcake like those after we have a weekend together! And irl, I make my fs like that. Ls don't get any loops in my notebook.
Good intercourse, Tanet!
That last one makes more sense if you decide it was made for a Rocky Horror Picture Show after party. ^_^
