happy birthday greg, or is it gerg?

Today is my amazing partner Greg’s 39th birthday. The photo above is the reason that I will no longer out-source the making of his birthday cake. Has something like this happened to you? I know there are entire web sites devoted to it. Describe your favorite “cake wreck” in the comments section.

I live near Akron, Ohio with my partner Greg, Ted the wonder dog, and a pantry full of flour and sugar.

  1. I’ve had them write “are” instead of “our”. One time they also repeated a line…the exact same line (I foget what it was). It was ridiculous.

  2. The punk band, who lived in my basement, wrote a birthday song. Punk style. Started out ‘It’s lonely when you’re old, all alone in the cold’. When the lead guitarist turned 17 I had that phrase put on his birthday cake – odd look from the clerk at the store – but great cake.

  3. I used to work with a girl named Nichelle and when her going away party cake came it said “Michele with an N not a M”

  4. Oh, Mike, I’m sorry this happened! Although it will give you a bit of conversation for years to come!

  5. Happy Birthday Greg!!

    Birthday cakes should never be outsourced unless you need a cartoon character on top of it to appease the monsters. ;)

  6. Happy 39th Birthday to Greg. I hope the cake tasted good. :-) Mandy

  7. I hope you were able to have a laugh about it! Was the cake good though??

    Oh my gosh, that’s crazy! I do hope ‘Gerg’ had a great birthday!! : ) I guess you should have gone with the chocolate Guinness cake after all!
