I think that the Braidal Shoer may come up next to "It a gril" in my list of favorites.<br /><br />And for Ann: no the world isn't coming to an end because of bad spelling. But there is a reasonable expectation that cake decorators should be able to spell the rather limited amount of words that they use. And they should be able to deal with appropriate capitalization as well. It's only a courtesy to the people that they're working for. If these were cakes lovingly prepared by a friend or family member, it would be sweet and funny and not an issue. But if you have to pay for something it should be professional. And part of being professional is doing something right--and in a manner that the people who ordered the cake can actually understand what is written there.<br /><br />And it's not like we're talking about a huge lexicon here; congratulations, bridal shower, it's a girl, you're legal now. That isn't asking a great deal. Especially if it's been paid for.<br /><br />And if somebody, somewhere has figured out what Falker Satherhood is, please let us all know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-89635174977697287512009-05-07T11:04:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:04:00.000-04:00the 21st birthday cake uses the wrong spelling of ...the 21st birthday cake uses the wrong spelling of you're. they put your instead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-18724564709010277782009-05-07T10:19:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:19:00.000-04:00holy mother, I can't breathe!!!! braidal shoers!!!...holy mother, I can't breathe!!!! braidal shoers!!!Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667410654518897433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-21068638810524976732009-05-07T09:16:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:16:00.000-04:00This is really grat, grat job!This is really grat, grat job!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00003953004896915252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-34609159525869149052009-05-07T08:59:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:59:00.000-04:00I didn't read the 108 comments before mine but did...I didn't read the 108 comments before mine but did anyone notice that on the second cake, "your" should have been "you're"?SherriZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615486761157618206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-5521252857540884442009-05-07T08:57:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:57:00.000-04:00What's with the dot over the "u" on the last cake?...What's with the dot over the "u" on the last cake?

Oy with the "world is endi...Ann Burlingham said... <br />Oy with the "world is ending because people can't spell" complaints, people! Spelling is a talent, not a skill, in my opinion-<br />some can do it, some can't - it doesn't map to intelligence. Also, written language is meant to represent spoken language - both forms change.<br /><br />I agree that correct spelling (or the lack of it) is not automatically a indictor of intelligence but poor spelling and grammar come across as ignorant and/or careless, particularly in a professional capacity. <br /><br />I am not a natural speller - it is something I find difficult, especially if I am writing by hand as opposed to typing, but I *know* that I don't spell well, so I have made the effort to learn the correct spelling of words whcih I need regularly, and when I am writing something important (business letters, notices etc) I take the time and trouble to check spellings where necessary.<br /><br />Spellign is much easier for some people than others, but (for almost everyone)it can be learned, and incorrect spelling, whetehr on a 'professional' cake or in a business communication, looks sloppy, and implies ignorance or carelessness or both.<br /><br />I don't think the world is coming to an end, and of course spelling and use of words both change over time, but if someone has ordered and paid for a cake they have a reasonable expectation that it will be in line with the generally accepted correct spelling.<br /><br />If you order a professional prduct, you expect it to be produced professionally.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234975039675044712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-40948782542221162752009-05-07T05:51:00.000-04:002009-05-07T05:51:00.000-04:00I think you'll find the final cake is a badly form...I think you'll find the final cake is a badly formed Shrinks.
