Lisa P. wanted her friend's birthday to be a critical success, but we all know how ordering a cake is a roll of the dice:

MERCER HAVE MERCY

(That one's for you, Critters)

And finally, Jeff H. writes:

"I have a friend who recently became a US citizen. I went to the bakery and asked for a cake with a United States flag on it. Here's what I got. The baker, a lady in her late 20's, commented, 'I even got the red star to come out good!'"

Thanks to Jill, Lisa, and Jeff for making us break out the rare quadruple facepalm.

Hey, any of you collect dice? Because these metal sets come in over 40 different colorways(!!), and I want them all:

Bakers Make Passes At Dinos With Glasses

Ever wonder what's going on back there in the murky recesses behind the bakery counter?

No?

How 'bout now?

I mean, do you suppose bakers sit around taking bets on who can write the weirdest thing on the stock cakes?

(For the neighbor who won't pick up her dog's poop in your yard? But then, why would you reward that?)

I'm pretty sure bakers are also having competitions to see how much they can get away with before a customer notices and/or complains:

Baker: "And I did it all... with THE SAME PIPING TIP."

Groupie bakers: "OoooOOOOoooooh!"

Then again, maybe some bakers just don't like us.

"Look, you asked for a space cake, I made you a space cake. See the stars? And the planet?

"What, that thing there? That's, uh, a space log. Or an asteroid. Yeah. An assteroid. BAHAHAHAHAAAA! That'll be $36.99 please. Then get out."

And finally, for this one they asked for a dinosaur with glasses.

So the baker drew a dinosaur... with glasses:

Just not together.

Which is a whole NEW level of wrecking that, frankly, makes me thrilled to be alive right now.

Thanks to Lindsay G., Jessica K., Cyrus C., Gail R., & Kay S. for the newest Cake Rex.

P.S. This is a little crass - ergo the censor dot smiley faces - but this dino shower curtain made me laugh really hard and I feel like some of you will appreciate it:
