Via Ann Althouse, who cracked up when she read this in bed this morning, I see that there’s a book, a website, and a New York TImes article devoted to really bad cake decorating. Cake Wrecks: When Professional Cakes Go Hilariously Wrong is the name of the book, and the obvious point is that that this is partly caused by mass immigration. When you get mistakes like the one on the cover, or a cake that has the words "Leave Blank" or "Nothing" printed on it, because the order taker and cake decorator, told to leave it blank or print nothing on it, didn’t understand, you are dealing with people who can’t really speak English. That also applies to this one, where the person ordering wanted Congratulations, (as small as possible.)
