1. Literal Message
Fill in the message portion but be careful what you write—the baker could take every letter and symbol a little too seriously.
2. Awkward Handwriting
Not a typo, just unclear handwriting and minds in the gutter turn "Beloved Aunt" into something totally inappropriate. Or you could just end up with two totally different sets of script.
3. Hapy Birfday
Just when you think "Happy Birthday" was pretty standard and your name would be the issue ...
4. Airbrush Gone Wrong
Was this supposed to be a caricature or did the decorator just get a little too jazzed about wielding the food-dye gun?
5. Disastrous Delivery
R.I.P. all those pretty frosting flowers.
6. Falling Frosting
The awkward moment you coughed up $20 for a sheet cake and all the icing has jumped ship.
7. Naked Cake
Apparently one person can take directions and write them down, but others aren't able to actually carry them out.
8. Inadvertent Insult
A simple spelling error or miscommunication can lead to an insult or, worse yet, a threat. Yikes.
9. Ridiculously Racy
I mean, really?
10. Unrecognizable Character
When you ask for Mickey or Cinderella, you expect they at least bear a vague resemblance.
