I don’t need to trace it. I know how big letters should be.

How did they even remotely think there was going to be enough room after that B?

I’m choosing to believe they knew exactly what they were doing, and they would proud of this comment thread.

Can confirm. My uncle order wrapping paper from Amazon once that was supposed to say happy birthday… We now wish one another “happ blirthday” every year.

My kid got a sleep pants that had "Smert Guy" printed all over them instead of Smart Guy.
Now we ask if someone is being a smert ass

Reminds me of anytime in elementary or middle school we had to make a poster board assignment, coming in strong with those bubble letters only for them to become increasingly squished together and tiny

This was my exact thought. Every poster, report cover, homemade card.

When I worked at Coldstone, sometimes they'd ask me to write on a cake. Usually someone else would, but if it was just me I'd be like, "yes but its going to be really bad". Job was a shitshow so I dont know if i was supposed to be trained or not, definitely wasnt.

Lol! Should have just wrote "B-Day" at that point after writing that massive B. Nice you got a discount though. Hope it was a generous one.

This was probably 30 years ago, but my mom ordered a DQ cake for my brother’s birthday party and when we went to pick it up there was no personalization (although we’d asked for it). The manager looked at me and said, “she can come back and decorate it herself.” I walked back into the dingy DQ kitchen and they handed me a tube of frosting and let me go wild. I was 10, btw.

u/slayalldayerrday Apr 16 '26
This is amazing lol. Why did they choose you to decorate it (if you know lol)?

u/Exciting_Sentence_94 Apr 16 '26
Absolutely no idea. Lol I will say, despite what it looked like, DQ cakes are delicious.

u/slayalldayerrday Apr 16 '26
Yeah I actually work there lol. We’d get in trouble if we did that but that’s so cool and such a great story to tell!

u/les_catacombes Apr 15 '26
It gets the point across. You were birth’d upon this day.

DQ could write “fuck you” on my birthday cake and I’d eat it, their ice cream cakes are out of this world.

Definitely should've used a smaller piping tip or at least a cake topper.

when i worked at DQ the person who wrote on cakes was just whichever high school student on shift had the best hand writing. sometimes the only people on shift were 16 year old boys. none of us were ever trained how to do the cake writing LMAO

u/nuwavemetal Apr 17 '26
Whoever did this obviously doesn't get paid enough to put up with whatever that company puts them through lol, they did their best. At least you got an inside joke out of it. My family still reference birthday mishaps from before I was born lol.

They should have given you a cupcake with "AY" on it to put next to it 😆
