Sarcasm "Awareness" Month

Over the years, I've noticed some of you don't "get" sarcasm. Which I totally understand! I mean, sarcasm is super hard. Really.

So. Let me help. Because I care. I really, really care.

Okay, let's say your company didn't meet a deadline, and they're going out of business.
You might buy your team a cake like this:

See? This says, "Way to drive the company into the ground with your total incompetence, you bunch of boobs I can't be bothered to list by name" without actually saying it!

Yay sarcasm!

Or maybe your sister is engaged, but they haven't set a date:

This says, "Common law still counts, right?"

Maybe your husband hasn't changed a diaper in 6 weeks because he's off playing Call of Duty. Again.

Passive aggression is soooo much better than attacking the Xbox with a weed wacker. Am I right?

Or maybe you just really, really don't like Kate.

"Huppy" Birhduy *Kate!

The black icing IS your gift, btw; you'll just get it delivered later, if you know what I mean. [eyebrow waggle]

Also "Good luck" figuring out what the asterisk is for.

Of course, when all else fails, there's still the direct approach:

They'll think you're kidding, but you'll know.

You'll know.

Thanks to Sara R., Erin C., Anony M., Laura E., Daniel A., & Louise P. for these great cakes. No really. I mean it. You're all my heroes.

P.S. If you love this post, I think this may be a sign:

You Say Potato, I Say Potato, Your Baker Draws a Llama

This was supposed to read, "You'll Never Walk Alone"

So now it's less a promise and more... a threat?

The team is named The Bees, so they asked for a bee near first base:

Which is worse: the fact that they wrote out the instructions, or that "bee" near first base?
'Cuz I'm leaning towards the bee.

Jessica tells me she "has a thing for beards," so she asked the baker to put beards on her cookie cake.

I'm kinda with the baker on this one.

It goes great with Lauren's "Beast of Luck:"

But here's the best one: you know how it's a trend to write "You're dead to us" on goodbye cakes?

I have no idea why it's a trend, but it is.

See?

Anyhoo, here's the very best "You're Dead To Us" cake I've ever seen:

"You're Dad To Us."

That is one stubbornly optimistic baker, you guys, and I love it.

Thanks to Kathleen H., Katrina C., Jessica S., Mark T., Kristen P., Haley O., Lesley W., & Chris D., AKA "Dad."
