Let Them Eat Literate Cake
When choosing a professional baker to make your next cake, most of us don’t consider the baker’s literacy or spelling skills before placing an order. But maybe we should. According to Cake Wrecks blogger and author Jen Yates, more than a couple professionally baked cakes have been ruined due to punctuation or spelling errors. Here are a few hilarious examples:
- “When someone requests that nothing be written on the cake, ‘NOTHING’ should not be written on the cake.”
- “A baker omitted an exclamation point after the inscription, ‘Way To Go Bob.’ Ms. Yates wrote, ‘Just try to read this cake without sounding sarcastic. Yeah. Exactly.’”
- “Beneath a Father’s Day cake that starkly announced ‘1 Dad,’ the caption read, ‘Of all the Dads out there, you are one of them.’”
- “Happy 3th Birthday, Evan.”
