Okay, I just have to share this post with you from one of my favorite blogs, CakeWrecks. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this blog and have shared it with a gaggle of gals. I have read other posts of her's showing the things people write on cakes and I normally just shake my head in amazement. But today's post just sent me over the edge. I think it really must be the fact that I'm getting sick AGAIN. Post Nasal Drip is not my friend and frankly, if I could find Post Nasal Drip, I'd kick its ass. Anyways, enough about my bodily functions...
Maybe I'm lucky that I've never encountered anyone in a bakery dumb enough to do this type of thing, or maybe I'm unfortunate since I've never experienced this personally, I don't have any pictures to contribute to her. Either way, I just don't understand how someone could place an order for a cake, give the baker/decorator instructions on how they want the cake to look, and those very same instructions wind up on the cake as part of the decoration. I mean, really people, if you work in a bakery, does it really make sense that someone would want "in place of 'love' put a heart" written on the top of a cake? Does that make sense to you? Wouldn't something in your batter-filled brain make you stop and verify this stuff???
I know decorating cakes is hard work. That's why I don't do it. That's why I use bakeries. I'm no dummy, I know when to call in a professional. Duh...my name ain't Betty Freaking Crocker or Martha Freaking Stewart! But come on!!! People really never cease to amaze me.
