Dakota is not sure why this cake decorator believes she is celebrating under an assumed name (look closely, the punctuation kind of blends in with the swirls, but it is totally there, decoratively placed.)
OMG, that totally happened to me one time! I was in charge of getting the cake for a graduation party, and when I went to order it, they *made* me write it in quotation marks- so "the cake decorator would know exactly which words to write" they said. Never mind that the form clearly stated that these were the words to be written on the cake. Anyway, then the cake came with quotation marks on it! I was pretty upset. I imagine Dakota was as well.
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.

Must be a code name of some kind *nodnods*
Oh my goodness, I bet those quotation marks are as seasick as that cake is making me!
Maybe the decorator is guessing that Dakota doesn't want to be so strongly associated with this cake. I wonder why..
Aww, I think this cake is kind of cute! At least it's creative.
As for the quotes, do we know for a fact that the person's legal name is Dakota, or is that just the name by which they are commonly known?
Like my bro-in-law "Blacky," quotes seem appropriate in that case.

Cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked.
YAAAAAAAAY!
You used my cake!
As Pagani guessed, Dakota is my middle name, but it's what I go by and it's also what I told her to put on the cake.
hmmmm... Cake Wrecks...
I can't remember if I sent it to her or not.
I think "Dakota" is her stripper name.
I actually think this one's legit. The quotes are to indicate spoken words. "Happy Birthday, Dakota!"
Awesome picture....
I like this blog....
thanks a lot...

Mrs. X, maybe they’re “German quotes.„
Greg Hatch, then the cake either reads Happy Birthday “Dakota” or “Dakota Happy Birthday,” based on the quote placement.
