Accidentally Insulting Birthday Cakes

I generally don't post name misspellings, because let's face it: there are people out there who spell Jennifer with a Q. Names are hard.

Still, sometimes a baker will botch a name in such a hilariously insulting way that it. is. magic.

Don't you agree, Whitney?

Talk about a bellyache.

And what "Bart" hasn't known this pain?

Believe it or not, this guy's not fat. He's just a little Cubby.

Good luck losing that nickname, though.

Is Beth happy they didn't dot that second "I"?

YOU BETCHA.

Funnily enough, I think Bobby did request some of these on his cake...

And perhaps the most subtle insult of all:

"IF that's your REAL name...."

On the one hand, kudos to this bakery for recognizing that a boy can like pink fairies:

On the other hand, little Jess was PISSED.

(If it's any consolation, Jess, they messed up Jeff's cake, too:)

And finally, while I don't know which name this Asian bakery thought they were writing on their display cake, I'm pretty sure it wasn't this one:

Sunday Sweets: Tolkien Treats!

In honor of J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday last week, how about some Middle Earth-themed Sweets to celebrate?

(By Mike's Amazing Cakes)

The White City in white chocolate? I APPROVE.

And look, you can even see a tiny White Tree of Gondor in the upper court!

So is it too much to hope the Dark Tower is dark chocolate?

(By Market Salamander)

I see you... IN MAH BELLY. Nomz.

Or, if you prefer something a little more understated, how about these perfect Elvish leaves with the One Ring's script?

(By Cake Central user Jasley)

Or just the One Ring itself?

(By The Cake Whisperer)

I like how the cake board looks like molten gold - and I'm super impressed they managed to emboss the script on the inside edge!

Hmm, but I think we need some cute in here, don't you agree?

(By Love is Cake)

BAM. So cute.

And while we're at it, behold!

(By Imaginarium Cakes)

Epic facial hair has never been this adorable.

This one was inspired by Rivendell:

(By Cake Central member ChinaDoll652003's husband & sister)

Wouldn't it be perfect for a wedding? With the rings on that pedestal?

I love the way Sting "glows" on this one:

(By Coco's)

And one more Hobbit hole, because I can't get enough of that round green door:

(By Mother And Me Creative Cakes)

Also diggin' the stone steps and woven fences.

This wedding cake brings together Rohan and Gondor with emblems from each land, plus an Eowyn & Faramir topper:

(By One Sweet Slice)

Can't decide if the finish looks more like bronze or leather, but either way, I like.

And finally, the most jaw-dropping Smaug cake I've ever seen:

(By I love Cakes By Sheila for Cakes From Middle Earth)

His wings are made of rice paper, the body is sculpted of both fondant and modeling chocolate, and the flames are pulled sugar with LEDs inside. WOW.

Here's a close up:

No other words. Just WOW.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
