Underneat that,
Comments
what the f are you talking about.
F!
I think he was trying to say “first”.
In case anyone’s wondering “wtf?”
.
Caller, “Hi, I’d like to order a cake with a special message.”
Baker, “Alright, what should it say?”
Caller, “It should say ‘Best Wishes Suzanne’ then underneath that, ‘We will miss you’”
Baker, “No problem!”
.
Result? *points at the fail*
oh I get it now *feels extremely stupid*

QUOTATION FAIL. lol.
omgosh that took me ages to figure out! i thought someone just wrote a bunch of random words ?
Its lolarious, the person couldnt even spell underneath!
lolarious!
best. word. ever.
Amen.
success.
i could you not spell check you cakes!? Fail!
I think they were trying to say “other than that”
In Newfoundland, an island province off eastern Canada there is a thick (pronounced tick) accent. Underneath would be pronounced underneat.
Vietamese Bakery in Springvale. Australia
this is terrible! how stupid can you get?
Very stupid, apparently.
HAHA! That’s like repeating “Repeat after me”
Thanks @Kapernikus I hadn’t gotten it yet.
OK, so even if it said “Underneath,” I don’t understand what they are trying to say. Underneath what? Where’s Suzanne going!?!?! I’m scared.
This is what happens when we let immigrants do things.
Putin de connard.
So like….uhhh…..where does your family heritage stem from????? I’m sorry..Did you say Native American….Yeah…I didn’t think so.
.
Even the natives are immigrants. They came to this continent across a
land bridge from what is Asia today.
there are no true native human inhabitants to the western hemisphere.
There are no true native humans on earth, we crashed here and killed off the Neanderthals.
Phone sanitizer, first class, reporting for duty!
Is that a chesterfield on the pitch?
Douglas Adams refrence win!
Douglas Adams = 7 feet of (now dead) pure awesomeness.
“Sorry, can I interrupt you a moment, Peter, and say the sofa has just vanished vanished.”
“So it has. Well that’s one mystery less.”
Grammar fail. One mystery FEWER.
Don’t you all know that we are descendants from aliens? Once you learn to accept the truth, and disregard all the nonsense about psychiatry, we all all be happier. Now go read Dianetics.
Don’t read Dianetics, Tom Cruise wants you to join a church that kills people, dont listen to him!
all churches kill people… just saying.
You’re full of shit
I was born in New York in 1984. I’m pretty sure that it was part of the United States of America in that era. This makes me a Native American…thus disproving your theory of immigration. I’m going to lavish in this victory with a high five with the nearest person I can find.
I’m so ashamed to be born in the same year as you!
“the western hemisphere”????
omg. GEOGRAPHY F-A-I-L.
actually a hemisphere is just half of a sphere… so it does make sense..
yeah geography fail for you, jackass – I learned the term “western hemisphere” in 4th grade social studies
That would be a ‘teacher fail’ then
check wikipedia
Google fail
overuse of meme “fail” fail
Or someone educated under “No Child Left Behind.”
Unless you’re Native American, you’re from a family of immigrants. I’ve met MANY dumb Americans, so please, STFU.
I’ll second what Mica said above.
Actually if you took grade school history you should know that the “Native Americans” are “immigrants” as well. They originally migrated to the Americas from Siberia.
Ok, here is the thing first they are called “Native American Indians” or “Original Aborigines” now. You need to make sure your Politically Correct hate-mongering . is correct, or the non politically correct hate-mongers will start looking smart. We need the balance of hate to be even so that we can finally teach people how to live their lives by posting comments on a message board.
english fail
Where would your ass be if it wasn’t for us immigrants? Americans are far dumber then us IGNORANT immigrants. Believe me. At least we know that the Russians are invading the country of Georgia and not the state. Redneck a–hole
It would be “than,” not “then.” I know that your intellegence is superior, so I apologize for the correction.
The person ordering the cake wrote what she wanted on a piece of paper, and gave it to the cake decorator. The “underneat that” was a direction to put “we will miss you” under “best wishes Suzanne”.
Literal retards are literal.
Pretty sure it was a straight up failure of using the correct word even. I think it’s supposed to be “Understand that we will miss you.” But who knows.
hahaha
that’s exactly what i was wondering
Tron, I love you~ so I baked you a pony xx
So a woman calls a pastry shop and says, “I want a cake saying, ‘Best Wishes, Suzanne’, and underneath that put ‘we will miss you’” and thus the above disaster
Its like, the person writing on the cakes was sorta in-the-zone, just churning out cake lettering, and forgot to switch on cognitive reasoning to realize that “Underneath that” was an instruction for her, not text.
Alternatively, maybe the person who wrote the instructions sucked at punctuation and literally wrote “”best wishes susan… underneath that… we will miss you”"
and didn’t break the quotation marks in the middle.
Thanks, now I got it
Yeah, but why is the N in “Under Neat” capitalized? It’s plausible that the instruction-leaver left off the h from “Underneath” but “Under Neat” is a really weird typo for “Underneath”.
My guess is someone with bad handwriting took the order.
It was probably dictated over the phone.
Yeaaaaaah… Unfortunately the cake decorators (in grocery chains, at least) will do as exactly as they see it on the order sheet and/or don’t ask questions if they are confused about the order. And if the decorator isn’t keen on English they might not differentiate the message from the instructions. Best to keep the order simple. Better yet, pick a pre-made cake and have them do the message in front of you.
And the brown (or is it black?) trim with orange and yellow flowers… Color scheme FAIL. Yuck. I’d be ticked even if it was spelled correctly.
I didn’t get it at first either, but now that I do, HOW HILARIOUS!! OMG! XD
Instruction fail, then … why would you need to write “Underneath that”? Just write
Best Wishes Suzanne
We will miss you
How hard is that?
But then… wouldn’t the cake show:
Best Wishes Suzanne
We will miss you
How hard is that?
10 funny points
Epic Lolz
Perhaps it was an order taken over the phone.
Ding ding ding!
:light bulb:
Aha! I get it now. I was thinking of some typo/miscommunicated “Understand that we will miss you,” which is a weird thing to say.
SECOND YA!!!!!
crud, i only made 3rd
FAIL! Your more than 7th
you’re/your fail.
You don’t know which to correctly use? Grammar fail.
lol. inappropriate excitement fail.
dude this is old
under neat what? i dont want to under neat that, whatever that is.
It’s “I, say your name,” in cake form!
That hurts me in an epic kind of way
And in addition the order seems to be given by mail with a german keyboard.
Or is Suyanne an common name? I think it should have been Suzanne.
‘Z’ and ‘Y’ are swapped on german Keyboards.
That’s a “Z” in script.
I wonder how many kids are still being taught cursive script nowadays?
All french kids, as far as I know.
yep, we all learn cursive script at school. It’s not hard at all, and it looks nice on cakes
I was taught it in third grade and didn’t actually have to use it until 9th grade. x) I only write in capital letters, too, haha.
I learned it in third grade and didn’t have to use it until college, lol
I write in cursive script to make life more difficult for my teachers.
we were caught cursive in third grade, and now as high school graduates very few of my classmates can read it or write using it.
My mom taught me to write in “script” way before my school got to it… but then when the time came, and they called it “cursive” i had no idea what the hell they were talking about…
Yes I was also taught in third grade and it was called writing “in cursive.” We had to write everything in cursive for several years but then they stopped caring. I only use it now when I want to be anonymous.
Fail.
The Z and the Y are not swapped.
Just different places for punctution. Wir müßen die ümlaut machen!
The one I used in Berlin was swapped.
german keyboards are structured like this:
qwertzuiopü
asdfghjklöä
yxcvbnm,.-
i should know – sitting in front of one.
That’s almost as good as the time the bakery wrote “Congradulations” on the cake when my brother graduated high school. We took it back and they actually argued the point, insisting that it was correct. We actually had to pull out out a dictionary before they would agree to correct it.
The irony was that my brother was the valedictorian of his class. For him of all people to have a misspelled cake!
Indubitably.
It’s really not uncommon for them to spell “Congratulations” incorrectly on cakes. I’m pretty sure it happened on my cake, but I wasn’t about to take it back when I could just eat it. ;p
The funny thing is, the same people who spell it with the “d” will still say “Congrats!”, you’d think they’d see the “t” in there.
Hmm, I would have guessed that since “Congratulations” gets put on so many cakes, the decorator would have to be a total nitwit to get it wrong. He/she would also probably have to spell it wrong every time and never be corrected.
No, no, you got it all wrong. ‘congradulations’ is short for “Congratulations on the graduation”, which didn’t fit in the cake.
Also, the cake is a lie, script on the cake doubly so.
Portal Humor!
That’s the first insightful comment I’ve read here so far. Now where’s that second portal again?
I’ve seen a lot of people use “congradulations” as a pun, combining “congratulations” and “graduation” into one word. Perhaps the bakery had so many people use the pun that they assumed it was the norm.
(I am returning to my keyboard after 4 hours away and realizing that I forgot to post this; I hope that there haven’t been 16 identical posts in the meantime.)
Not quite 16, no.
Took me a while to understand xD Lol!
Its not to late to switch careers, the bakery school still accepts new students
somebody phoned in this order and the person taking the phone order wrote down, verbatim what the caller said. He/She apparently misunderstood “underneath that” and wrote down “under neat that.” I would lol and lol if this cake showed up at one of our office parties.
It seems like an error that a text-to-speech program would make! This kind of fail should not be made by a human!
Legendary fail, IMO.
Poof reeder needed!
Poof reader?
I hope that was intentional
Ok Bob, just write “Best wishes Suzanne”, and underneat that, write “We will miss you”
Took me a bit to get it but that is such a huge fail – damn
Thank you Captain Obvious!
what gets me is the that they wrote “best wishes” under neat it! [<yes i know idiot]
“lots of love and best wishes for your decaying corpse”
fly me
There are no decaying corpses involved, though.
How does it feel to be completely bereft of a sense of humor?
Lame-ass git.
Wal-mart Employee Fail!
OH
I GET IT.
:B
EBONIC CAKE!
true dat!
It may be a writing fail, but heck I gotta admit…that cake looks pretty darn tasty…
This is actually not a pastry fail because the pastry itself did not fail, the person writing on the pastry failed. Also, its photoshopped and I know because my job is to discover photoshopped images. I probably look at about 1 million photoshopped images a day and have been doing it for almost 10 years. Also, whoever made this cake, er, I mean photoshopped this image of a cake is a terrorist asshole.
Also, first.
LMAO
and Chris, don’t forget how traumatized Suzanne must have been by this mixup on her cake, and how completely Not Funny and Cruel this is because of our insensitivity to her pain.
I’ve been detecting photoshopped images for a million years…like one a day
and I can tell you that the cake is the one that is suffering here. I also dabble in pastry psychology and through means of ESP….I feel the cake is being victimized.
Totally inappropriate!!!! We should all be ashamed!
You failed this, so epically.
Not everything in the world is photoshopped just because it’s a program people like to use.
Sarcasm identification fail.
Fail.
Amanda’s comment was photoshopped by terrorists. There is no way someone could be that dumb.
*clap calp clap*
You sir, win one (1) Internet.
I can’t breath!
fail.
You are my hero Chris.
Thank you for the lulz.
Photoshopped or not…who want’s cake? I know I do!!!
time to put down teh fork, chubbs…
They need photoshop. (not for the picture, but to fix the actual cake)
Yes, because Photoshop actually fixes things IRL now. : |
Math Fail!
How many hours a day do you work which you have to check 1million images a day?
In addition, how much time do you spend on each of these photos?
If Chuck Norris had baked this cake, it would have corrected itself.
I love you.
Umm, thanks? (hope’s she’s over 18)
That is supposed to say the number eighteen. Stupid emoticons.
suuuure…’emoticons’, riiiight
ZOMG, I heart you, too.
If Christie Brinkley had baked this cake, I would have made a hole in it.Mmmmm,
Total Gym cake.
Mmm, Vanilla Buttercream fail. Well, nobody’s perfetc I guess.
Epic win.
My best friend, nicknamed Farmer, had a cake which read
“We love Farmer in blue”
in green icing.
We meant that we wanted blue icing and the phrase “We love Farmer”
I saw this first in an email that said they’d ordered the cake from Wal-Mart. Dunno if that’s TRUE, but I believe it!
Probably is, they’ll employ anything and anyone. Even people who could fail a survey.
So how long have you been there?
i think its probably a fair bet that the person writing the cake didn’t speak english well, and was simply transcribing the message word-for-word. still, fail.
Reading the previous postings, before you post – fail!
I know something about this specific image: Suzanne was quitting her job. Her co-workers decided to throw a little going away party for her at work. So somebody called in the cake order to Wal-Mart (in Arkansas, no less) and explained that the cake should read “‘Best Wishes Suzanne’, and underneath that, ‘We Will Miss You’”
At least the penmanship is neat.
What amazing postings!
You are all apparently too young to remember the classic cake order:
“You’re not getting older on top, you’re getting better on the bottom”
Happy Friday!
@ Literature Major:
I fail (probably epically) because I don’t understand. DX (I understand “What amazing postings!” and “Happy Friday”! but the rest… I fail. XP)
I also fail because Blind here didn’t see the “Reply Comment” button although I looked straight at it.
Epic fail. XD
The cake should have read:
“You’re not getting older”
“You’re getting better”
on top and on the bottom were instructions to the person making the cake.
photoshop
Best one on this site. so neat.
This happened to me! I ordered a cake for my partner’s birthday. I gave the instructions “”Ben” in big letters” in the icing instructions box. Guess what was iced on the cake? Clue: it wasn’t just his name…
ben….dover?
This was 2 fails. The person who filled out the cake form failed and the person who decorated the cake epic-failed
Hahaha..they ordered the cake over the phone..I think they said they ordered the cake from Walmart.
OMG.
The saddest thing about this is this was NOT photoshopped.
My boss got this for one of our coworkers b4 she left.
i lol’d ((:
For those of you who can’t understand how “underneath that” could’ve possibly been transcribed as “under neat that”…it’s called EBONICS. Come spend a day in any major city in the South…you’ll be a pro at translating that strange dialect. Now…lavish me with accusations of racism. I’m waiting… EBONICS FTW (Fo’ Da Ween!)
Epic WIN. This cake inspired Cake Wrecks, which is one of my favorite blogs and full of cakes that are fails.
Idiotic win!
That cake was purchased in Louisiana at Wal-mart, for a fellow employee who was moving….Walmart sucks
Literally Fail
Um… making sense fail?
Walmart bakery?
Anyone else noticed that it’s a cake, not pastry.
that is a fail inside itself.
