8 Bakers Failing At Ridiculously Simple Tasks

You had one job, bakers:

ONE JOB.

::sigh::

[head in hands]

My eyes!

I'm always hearing how cakes should come with spell check. Um, guys?

This one did.

Q: How easy is it when all you have to do is pipe a little path for Strawberry Shortcake to stand on?

A: Apparently not easy enough.

o.0

I don't know why, but this one made me laugh like an unhinged maniac:

"Almost... there... almoooost... AW SCREW IT."

Then I found this one:

"JUST SCREW IT."

My life, it is now complete.

Thanks to a Melissa H., Rae, Raynn, Julia K, Rebecca H., Christi O., Mary A., & Reginia B. for the borderline insanity.

P.S. Since this saved my butt during a long painting day recently, I have a random product recommendation:

No Buckle No-Show Stretch Belt

This is my new favorite belt, y'all. It basically turns anything with belt loops into an elastic waist. So comfy I forget it's on, slimline so it doesn't show under my t-shirts, and NO BELT BUCKLE to dig into my belly or unbuckle for bathroom breaks. Woohoo!

You know how stretch jeans are forever sliding down when you sit or bend, so you have to keep hitching them back up? No more! I wear this with all my jeans now. It's entirely elastic, so it moves and stretches with you, zero painful digging. I HIGHLY recommend for anyone well endowed with squish in the belly area.

And from my other blog, Epbot:

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 2026 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.

P.S. Listen, I know - I KNOW - it's too early to be posting Christmas stuff... but hear me out:

Tree Rex T-Shirt

This is my all-time favorite Christmas tee, and I'm so excited to start wearing it again soon. The graphic is bright and cheery, it's super soft, and only $14! Plus it comes in more colors and cuts for Men and Kids at the link.
