So Easy, A Wreckerator Couldn't Do It

Don't worry, bakers; today's decorating challenge is SUPER easy. I'll even walk you through it!

Congratulations!! You have officially earned the title of Wreckerator! Here's your apron, bag of plastic flotsam, and list of "50 Wrong Ways To Spell 'Congratulations.'" Now, get out there, you, and make us laugh!

Thanks to Elise H., Betsy G., Anna K., Nicole H., & Vanessa W. for lowering the bar that much further.

Thanks to April B., Alli N., Robin G., Kalisha G., Kelly & Craig, & Carole for helping us all appreciate the finer intricacies of the English language. And also for the snort-giggles.
