OMG, I had a similar situation to this once! For some reason, on the cake order form, the lady wrote what we wanted to have written on the cake in quotation marks. Then, the quotation marks appeared on the cake! I am glad that this has happened to people besides me.
As a cake decorator, if it appears on the order form, I write it. I've written ages (for birthday cakes) in quotation marks so many times... it's like, is the kid really 2, or is "2" the age his parents think he is?
You know this cake is featured in a new blog, right? It's called Cake Wrecks. It's at http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ and the post with this cake gives you props, in case you didn't already know.
When I lived in southern Ohio, there was a woman at the local ice cream place who decorated cakes. She had a wall of photos of her work, and every single cake had something inappropriately in quotes. It both amused me and irked me, especially since I have a literature degree. This post brought back memories. Ugh.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I think her name is Amber You, but people call her "We Will Miss".

Awesome! Just "found" you "blog"! Love "it"!
"We will miss" can stand in for "we hate" or any number of rude interjections. Subtle!

Anyway... I certainly won't miss her.
Is that Anber or Amber? And why the capital E in WE? No lowercase L or apostrophe abuse, though. Too bad.
This cake decorator must follow the same rules that Sarcasm397 does - write it exactly as it says on the form.
Is that thing a funeral cake? (I know that is not funny, but if there were such a thing as a funeral cake, it would look like that)

That is awesome.
That's the cake I should have given to a former employer oh-so long ago.
