当糕点师把顾客的话一字不差地写到蛋糕上

一些顾客高价订做写着个性化祝福的手工蛋糕来送给他们所爱的人，可蛋糕有时却荒唐得想让人退钱。一个网络幽默画集展示了糕点师是如何一字不差地照着客人的话，将糖霜点缀到蛋糕上的。

在这些令人捧腹大笑的图片中，糕点师缺乏工作热情，也没有弄明白客人的言外之意。

Other jaw-dropping mistakes include one by a person who managed to convince themselves someone had asked for a Halloween cake decorated with the message: 'It's for Halloween so put on it some goats, goblins and booze.'
还有些错误能让人笑掉下巴，比如，有一个客人为了告诉蛋糕师自己预订了一个万圣节蛋糕，留言道：“这个蛋糕是用来庆祝万圣节的，所以请放些山羊啊、妖精啊、酒啊到蛋糕上。”糕点师把留言复制到了蛋糕上。

Ben was going to Texas to start a new set of adventures but perhaps expected a picture of the great state - rather than 'put the state of Texas on it for her' - to appear on her farewell slice.
