5 Bakers Who Bit Off More Than They Could Chew

My friends, cake decorating can be hard. Why do you think we have so much material? But bakers can make their jobs a lot easier by just knowing their limitations.

For instance, bakers, say someone asks you to make a groom's cake that looks like their BMW:

...but you're just figuring out what "edible markers" are.

In that case, maybe say no.

See how much better that would have been?

Ok, now let's practice together! I'll play the customer.

Hi! Can you make me a cake that looks like this shoe?

Now you say, "No. No, I can't."

I'd really love Maleficent on a cake! Can you do that?

"No. No, I can't."

Aw, then how about Tinkerbell?

"Sure! No probl... I mean, no. No, I can't."

See how easy that is? And hey, being able to say no to orders you can't do will give you more time for the ones you can!

Or you could just fill the donuts.

Dear Santa... It's Complicated

[WARNING: Bad word ahead! Clear out the kids!]

Today is the start of Dear Santa week, so time to get those letters out to St. Nick, minions!

This is when you tell Santa how you didn't murder anyone this year even though you really really wanted to, so you totally deserve that Benedict Cumberbatch body pillow and lifetime subscription to Wicked Whoopies. You know, just as a "for instance."

[side eye]

Of course, personally assessing your own "good" or "bad" behavior beyond non-murder can be a little dicey. I mean, who HASN'T slipped up from time to time

or accidentally said what they were thinking out loud

or sent an in-law a giant horse's.... butt?

Ahh, but not to worry! One baker has done all the work for us this year, perfectly summing up our collective behavior during 2018 in a single, surprisingly eloquent cookie cake:

Yeeeeahhh.

But there were extenuating circumstances, Santa, honest.

Thanks to Mark M., Alyssa P., Jennifer D., & Jodi N. for the capital letter.
