Not So "Common" Now!

Common sense. Such a dictator, am I right?

Well, some bakers aren't going to take it anymore! Some bakers are like, "DOWN WITH COMMON SENSE! WE REFUSE TO BE COMMON *OR* SENSICAL!"

Except they yell it in their bathrooms, because they don't know any better.

Then they go to work and make cakes like this:

Which go over like a lead balloon.

Common sense says the odds of a couple celebrating the exact same date of birth - and providing a wedding photo for the cake - is FAR less likely than their celebrating a wedding anniversary.

So naturally:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU CRAZY KIDS.

Common sense also demands that you cut an edible image so all the words are visible.

WHATEVS COMMON SENSE YOU DON'T OWN US

And finally, and ironically the most common:

Rebecca in Red Frosting is feeling so left out right now.

So I guess she knows how Common Sense feels.

Happy Common Sense Day to Madeline S., Lori, Robin K., & Mary Lou, who suspect it's rapidly becoming more of an exclusive club.

I was browsing Amazon for silly things to link today, and stumbled across a book from my childhood. Please tell me I'm not the only who remembers a book series about the Stupids:

The Stupids Step Out

Ahhh, the late 70s. It was a different time.

Oh Captain I Captain

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess the bakery had room:

If you love communication breakdowns on cakes as much as I do, then prepare for an eye-full:

Give it a second.

Theeeere it is.

Before I show you Sara's cake, here's her explanation over on Twitter:

So just to be clear, this was supposed to say, "Happy Birthday Julie & Wes."

o.0

And finally, Alesha asked her baker to draw a high heel on her cake - so, something kind of like this:

Instead, she got this:

Of course, we have to take Alesha's word on the high heel thing; I still say that's a feminine travel urinal.

(Seriously, google "feminine travel urinal" and tell me I'm wrong. And stop looking at me like that. LOTS of people know what feminine travel urinals look like, Ok? LOTS OF THEM.)

Thanks to Emma Cal, Brianna T., Sara, & Alesha G. for being my #1 fans.
