Cake Decorating

Ugh!! Spelled birthday wrong on cake! Please tell me that you have done this too!

So I made a Chinnock Helicopter cake for my grandson’s birthday! It all went well! Easier then I thought it would be! Have the party! Come home and post a photo of my grandson with his cake on my Facebook page and then I notice I spelled birthday….birthbay!!! How in the world did I not notice this when I put the letters on the cake, took photos, all through the party!!! It is SO OBVIOUS now!!! It is ALL I see when I look at the photos!! Please tell me you have spelled something wrong on a cake too!!! I feel like an idiot!

I didn’t notice the error either Ellie. Saw the pic before I read the your content. Don’t think you’re grandson noticed….that’s what counts!!

You must never limit your challenges, instead you must challenge your limits

Oh bless you – that is so easily done. Even when writing I often put a b instead of a d and at least it was for your grandson and not a stroppy customer :-)
Off to have a look…. xx

Yes, I’ve done that too. “Birtday” :) makes your heart sink, but I really did not notice it on your cake, which was amazing…

Anita, June Elli, Calli, Julia and Jan thank you for your kind comments and support!! I knew I could count on my cake friends to make me feel better! My husband says we see what we expect to see! I think he is right because I don’t know how I missed it!!

🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻. I spelled anniversary wrong by accidentally leaving out the first “r”! Didn’t notice until a friend pointed it out! I had already delivered the cake and it was 11:00 pm! If anyone noticed, nothing was ever said!!! Lol!

I too like Melanie forgot the first “r” in anniversary I had written on a cake but I also wrote happy 21st on someone’s cake who was only 18 . luckily I knew the family and they had a laugh about it and the fact that his aunt who collected the cake never even noticed . Your cake is fantastic and I’m sure your grandson will have loved it :)

Thank you Melaine and mjh! Glad to know that I’m not alone in this! LOL!! If anyone at my grandson’s party noticed they didn’t say anything either!!!
