Bakers, sometimes it helps to remember the 5 Ws:
Who:
What:
Er, let's try that again. What?
That's better.
When:
Where:
WHY GAWD WHY:
And then you can add an H, for "How?"
See how helpful that was?
Though next time we should probably talk about your coffee orders:
::sigh::

P.S. Here's a (hilarious) reminder that English is almost as confusing as these cakes:
"You... are... so beautiful..."
"...to me."
"Thank you. Thank you very much."
[Leaning on piano]
"You... are... soooo beautiful..."
"...to meeee."
"The Goldmans, everyone! Fifty years today! Aren't they adorable?
"Can't you SEEE-EEE-EE?!?"
[sliding to front of stage on knees]
"You're... ev'ry-thing I HOPED for!"
[grimacing in pain]
"You're
I neeeeeeeeee..."
"...eeEEED!"
[winking at waitress]
"You... are... so beautiful..."
"Toooo... meeeeEEEEE."
Thank you, Nia C., Krystal C., Karen R., Julie R., Alison V., and Joshua P. Thank you so much. No, really. Thank you. Really. You're too much. Thank you. Tip your waitress!

P.S. I agree, you COULD do a better job yourself. So have you tried these new silicone "piping bulbs?"
8 Pc Bulb Decorating Kit
Y'all. Go read the reviews; these things are apparently total game-changers. Easy to fill, clean, no more leaking piping bags, AND they fit all the Wilton metal tips we already have! I don't do much cake decorating these days, but I do pipe caulking for crafts, so I'm excited to try these out.

And from my other blog, Epbot:
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
