Yeah, I check that blog periodically and I always end up behind on a lot of posts so it is hard to keep up with it. Once you go through all of the posts, you start noticing common trends of awful.
Some other patterns I tend to notice with awful cakes when looking through the blog include excessive use of the airbrush until it looks like puke and also adding a bunch of plastic inedible junk on the cake. Oh and frosting balloons that look like sperm.
I'm so dead @A. Ham ! Phteven was resurrected in my life recently, and now I'm crying thinking about it.
That's what I was thinking. I remember seeing an ad at a grocery store for a cake decorator and they said that for the requirements is that the person needed good communication skills and is able to follow instructions written in English or something so at least those grocery store bakeries and other places are trying their best to weed out people who take instructions too literally, but I'm sure some people still slip through.
