9 Oddly Specific Apology Cakes

Posted by Jen

https://www.cakewrecks.com/home/9-oddly-specific-apology-cakes-2025

Far be it from me to ever condemn an apology made with cake.

However....

Today's cakes do make me question being quite so specific about it.

Hey, I just realized this should have been the #1 apology cake for my Go-Go song!

And maybe these were the accompanying cupcakes?

(It says, "Sorry you fell in my pee.")

Now I know why most funeral receptions only serve pie.

Anyone else getting a passive-aggressive vibe here?

Very funny, Dad.

Oh, sure, THIS you can spell. Forget "congratulations," forget "birthday," "GONORRHEA" is the word you get right?! I just...I can't...I don't even...

And what are you smiling about?

This is actually adorable. Assuming it's a joke, of course.
If not, then it's adorable *and* hilarious.

This was a dispute between two chefs, kids. Chefs who are overly fond of their cookware. Honest.

Gentlemen, you know how sometimes you know you need to apologize, but you don't know what to apologize FOR?

This works.

Thanks to LW, Jacqueline P., Michelle B., Michelle M., Andrew C., Andrew F., Heather, Ian S., and Anony M. for taking the lower high road.

One winter evening on my way home from work, I stopped at my local grocery store. I left my twelve-year-old beagle Rosie in the car while I got something for supper. When I came back out, there were three boys, around ten to twelve years old, crowded around my car.

Me: "Uh, sir, that’s the card reader. For payment cards."
Customer: "Yeah, I know. I loaded this with fifty bucks at home. Shouldn’t it just upload to your system?"
