When Mickey Mouse Turns Into A Real Bozo

Jessie ordered this cute kitty design from her bakery's book:

Her bakery ran out of the printed paper, though, and then I guess also people who know how to decorate cakes:

Yowch. And I don't think that candle placement is helping any, Jessie. Do you have any large house plants instead? Maybe a piñata or two?

Shannon ordered a Minecraft sheet cake, which usually looks something like this:

Instead, she got what appears to be an Oscar-the-Grouch skin carpet on a dirty tile floor:

Double "yowch."

And finally, Jay ordered a true classic: a Mickey Mouse cake like this:

Somehow I think Jay's baker heard "Bozo the Clown," though:

...because THIS IS UNCANNY:

Thanks to Jessie W., Shannon M., & Jay F. for that case of "mouse-taken" identity.

(Yes that pun was tortured and I'm not even sorry.)

Missed Marks: Spots, Jeeps, And Impossible Mountains

Amy asked for cheetah spots on her friend's birthday cake, kind of like this:

But instead she just got "spots":

Appropriately Timed Fun Fact: Did you know Brits call zits "spots?"

Kelsee ordered this sculpted Jeep cake:

...but after driving her crazy, the baker's results fell flat:

And finally, Kendra wanted this gorgeous ombre number for her wedding:

You know that song, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough?"

This one was definitely too high.

Sorry, Kendra.

Thanks to Amy A., Kelsee S., & Kendra L. for letting us share their pain... and also laugh at it a little.

P.S. I don't get many excuses to share these, but that "spots" cake is the perfect segue. Have y'all heard of "pimple patches"?

The Original Mighty Patch

I first thought these were basically camouflage stickers, but nope, way better. Go browse the thousands of rave review and/or customer photos, if you dare, haha. Fascinating stuff!
