That is just made of epic fail. Thank you, sir.

 
Comment by Jen

Uh, no, that was clearly intentional. Epic fail to you, good friend, for being a no-fun grammar fiend who cannot even appreciate irony.

If you were pointing out the “Birthday’s,” though, I could forgive you.

 
Comment by Tom

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone was really tired and not paying attention…

@Jen:
So the baker wrote a paragraph of nonsense for the sake of postmodern irony? Have you missed the point of this entire blog? Epic fail to you, my good lady, for being so utterly dense and pretentious.

Oh man. Depressing that someone did all this work without thinking AT ALL about what he/she was doing!

Something like this actually happened to a friend of mine.
She got a cake for someone and said they wanted it to say “Get Well [person's name]”

Well they only put “Well [person's name]”
*facepalm*

So a tip, don’t buy cakes from Wal-mart lol.

 
Comment by Dan

See, this is either an epic fail or an intentional joke by the baker. Either way it’s hilarious.

I love how “Nov. and Dec.” is abbreviated in the abbreviation instructions. :D

 
Comment by M

I guess they didn’t need to abbreviate, after all.

 
Comment by Caitlin

This is by far the best one. You’d have to be so out of it to make this mistake! I would love to someday receive a birthday cake similar to this one.

 
Comment by Vander Kitten

Oh lovely. I love it. Totally made my Monday.

 
Comment by Ms. Rosenbaum

My favorite part of all of this is that it has been photographed on a birthday themed tablecloth - THEY USED IT!

Party planning fail.

 
Comment by emily

Yeah, this reminds me of a cake we had made for our volleyball team end-of-year party.
We wanted it to say ‘ace’ on it, which is a totally legit volleyball term, but the icer put ‘face’ on our cake.

It was fabulous. I would not oppose to eating a cake mistake, haha. It makes it so much more delicious.

 
Comment by Anna

One year my boyfriend went to DQ to get me a birthday cake.. he wanted it to say “Happy Birthday Anna” in red.

They wrote “Happy Birthday Red” and then “fixed” it by covering the mistake with chocolate.

…fail.

 
Comment by Karen

So this was my addition, and yes we did use the cake and everyone loved it. It was the funniest thing EVER!

Comment by Jon

If your job is decorating cakes at Wal-Mart, chances are pretty high that you don’t know much English. The person probably just copied down the form without having any understanding of what it really said.

 
Comment by Keelhaul

Hey meester….I gots jor cakes ready for to be peeked up now…jes???

Comment by HaulAss

I peeked up your wife…she’s happy now.

 
 
Comment by daddy00

We get cakes at least once a month at my office for some random reason, and English is not the native language of the ladies at the Publix bakery. We constantly have to tell them how to spell things like “Kate” and “Bobby”, but have never had something so ridiculous as this. I am jealous of how epic this failure is. I wish I had been the person to have brought it back to my office. I know some of the people here wouldn’t get it anyway.

 
Comment by Sçium

Is there any deeper meaning for this than gibberish? Am I missing something?

 
Comment by Vickie

Hahahahaha! I needed a laugh. Thank you so much! I think the people who got the cake would have loved it, too.

 
Comment by Jevanyn

From Tom:
“BAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Someone was really tired and not paying attention…”

… but they were even more tired by the time they were done. Did they spell abbreviate right on the first try? ROFL

 
Comment by pannonica

That’s certainly the icing on the cake.

Obviously, the decorator knew exactly what he or she was doing and was pointing out the customer’s shortcomings; the apostrophe must have been in the original too. After all,”The customer is always right.”

My only question is, did the icer get iced?

 
Comment by failshirts

Comment by Ms Lucia

This is the first time, nor will I doubt it be the last! You can check out more mistakes here:

Comment by Ms Lucia

Oops I meant NOT the first time.

 
Comment by baracuuda68

I think that they should have abbreviated abbreviate.

 
Comment by drill instructor

Companies usually celebrate birthdays every month. Lumping all of november and december birthdays? and given the size of the cake (recession?) - I would have to say that they’re working for a small cheap-ass company.

LOL
Did the person write the instructions on the cake?
