So I was putzin' around on google image search, looking at cakes, of course, when I stumbled across this picture:Which, you know, made me kind of curious.So I went to the originating site of the photo and read the corresponding blog post. It's written by Scott of Basic Instructions,...

The fact that this cake was inscribed by a color-blind and apparently epileptic geriatric is sad enough, but check out the background: the birthday girl was also IN THE HOSPITAL. Wow. Way to cheer up the birthday girl, there, fol...

(singing) "Mr. Grocery Store Cake Decor-A-TOR!!!"Yes, when faced with the challenge of your own stupidity, you valiantly ice on, turning that perfect-yet-mistakenly-crafted "2" into a not-so-perfect-but-still-reasonably-acceptable "4"...(background singing: "ooo, make mine in chocolate!")So...
