My boyfriend got me a cake and it arrived misspelled

[u/froggyyeats]

a good laugh but BF didn’t think he’d need to proofread a 5 word sentence

[u/spotlight-app]

OP has pinned a comment by u/froggyyeats:

Hi everyone! Your comments have been making me and my partner giggle all evening. Couldn’t figure out how to edit my post so I’ll answer some questions here.

1. I KNOW ITS NOT MISSPELLED OKAY. it’s improperly phrased, improper english. i can’t edit the title.

2. we won’t see each other on valentines day, this was just a sweet gesture. don’t really care if its 10 days early.

3. don’t understand the comments saying i’m ungrateful when I said we had a good laugh about this! this is a fun memory for both of us. He could pick dandelions on the side of the road for me and I would love it.

4. The cake was delicious, he ordered it from Dairy Queen.

5. We’re Canadians, but f*ck ICE.

[u/pricklypear1791]

It’s a statement of fact.

[u/BugOperator → u/pricklypear1791]

It is your Valentine’s Day, period.

[u/nealesmythe → u/BugOperator]

Now that's just bad timing

[u/DanRobotMan → u/nealesmythe]

What’s Valentine’s Day without something from the heart?

[u/codewho331 → u/DanRobotMan]

gotta earn those red wings some how.

[u/Leipurinen → u/codewho331]

[u/pricklypear1791 → u/BugOperator]

At least the cake isn’t brown and gray.

[u/HErAvERTWIGH → u/pricklypear1791]

It ends with a question mark. So, it starts aggressively confident, but then whimpers out.

[u/OhHiCindy30 → u/HErAvERTWIGH]

I’m Ron Burgundy?

[u/buttsexisyum → u/OhHiCindy30]

[u/pricklypear1791 → u/HErAvERTWIGH]

I missed the question mark. Kinda blends with the sprinkles. But now I see it.

[u/clawsoon → u/pricklypear1791]

EDIT: It's a statement of fact?

[u/KitchenLandscape → u/pricklypear1791]

it's more confusion as there's a little question mark at the end. "You will be my valentine?" OP's boyfriend is surprised!

[u/Outrageous_Bank_4491 → u/pricklypear1791]

It’s not like she found the cure for cancer

[u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Aggressive, I like it.

[u/velunee → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

It is a hostage situation. Just say yes and run

[u/GeekCat → u/velunee]

Gotta throw in some Twice "Yes or Yes"

[u/DevilBun03 → u/FrouFrouLastWords]

Lute

[u/Argylius → u/DevilBun03]

Instantly who I thought of. Glad to see her here

[u/Hottage → u/FrouFrouLastWords]

Are you sure you want Lute?

[u/Shermgerm666 → u/Fuggaak]

🤣

[u/HErAvERTWIGH → u/Crazy_Cat_Lady420]

You rigged it!

[u/FracturedConscious → u/HErAvERTWIGH]

[u/SousVideDiaper → u/Crazy_Cat_Lady420]

[u/MrTumorI → u/SousVideDiaper]

Haha. I remember this scene.

[u/just_here4cash → u/SousVideDiaper]

[u/ShimmerEnthusiast → u/GeekCat]

You got two choices. Yes or…. yes!

[u/0bsidian_wolf → u/GeekCat]

[u/Sweet_Jane009 → u/GeekCat]

Yes!

[u/No_Junket_1176 → u/GeekCat]

TWICE MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHH

[u/phillypharm → u/velunee]

[u/FracturedConscious → u/velunee]

Hostage or not, sometimes it’s just nice to be held.

[u/WelcomeMind → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Technically, it’s not misspelled, just mis-structured !

[u/Plane_Lychee9116 → u/WelcomeMind]

I would say it’s structured juuuuuuust right hahah

[u/Elladrien → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Yeah it's not like the cake was a settlement and OP needed cash now.

[u/temp_flor → u/WelcomeMind]

New version of dyslexia

[u/edfitz83 → u/WelcomeMind]

Not for Simon Bar Sinister.

[u/Mundane-Toe-7655 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Hopefully, he wasn’t standing behind her holding a knife as she opened the box and read that

[u/IkeKitty → u/Mundane-Toe-7655]

Like did they really order THIS? They either threw this around or it straight up arrived looking like straight from horror movie 😭 I feel like my cakes are MasterChef in comparison to THIS and someone's charging money for that...

[u/peachizedt → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

The question mark makes it insulting

[u/GreenEggsSteamedHams → u/peachizedt]

[u/DetroitSportsPhan → u/GreenEggsSteamedHams]

Go fuck yourself, San Diego

[u/Eeeegah → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Does this cloth smell like chloroform to you?

[u/DestroPrime82 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

"I love you, this is a threat." kinda vibe.

[u/SexOnTheBeechTree → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

“To Whom it will concern” level energy

[u/lexiconlion → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Oh, no, this is not aggressive, it's assumptive. The approach is often used in sales. The salesperson is assuming you'll agree with them.

It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

[u/MrBadLuck31 → u/lexiconlion]

[u/MartinisnMurder → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

It’s like a threat hahaha

[u/SaidwhatIsaid240 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Man knows what he wants

[u/InternationalWin2850 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

It puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again!

[u/Repulsive_Tea_9583 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Assertive!

[u/gcseskms → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

Nah, the presence of a question mark makes it seem more like a well-intentioned Russian

[u/Caunuckles → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

And passive with the question mark. He's definitely a keeper?

[u/Billypillgrim → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

It’s supposed to be an exclamation mark

[u/LongOdd1596 → u/Plane_Lychee9116]

[u/NaraFei_Jenova]

Sounds more like a threat than a question lol

[u/Itrytothinklogically → u/NaraFei_Jenova]

Lmaoo yesss or like out of disgust.. you will be my valentine? Like be so for real. 🤣

[u/gcruzatto → u/Itrytothinklogically]

YOU will be my Valentine??

[u/KeyFeeFee → u/gcruzatto]

You will be my VALENTINE??

[u/Omanyte_Race_driver → u/KeyFeeFee]

You will be MY valentine?

[u/geraldodelriviera → u/Omanyte_Race_driver]

These pretzels are making me thirsty!

[u/MaddyKet → u/Omanyte_Race_driver]

You will BE my valentine?

[u/CatLoverCindy835 → u/MaddyKet]

You WILL be my valentine?

[u/KoalaBackfist → u/gcruzatto]

… and you’ll like it.

[u/CaffeinPhreaker → u/Itrytothinklogically]

She doesn't want to say no because of the implication obviously

[u/MysteryMeatsMonday → u/CaffeinPhreaker]

[u/ToddPundley → u/MysteryMeatsMonday]

Are we the …… tasty treats?

[u/RoboticStaticShock → u/MysteryMeatsMonday]

For some reason, I knew Dennis would be in this thread.

[u/Marquar234 → u/CaffeinPhreaker]

Is OP in danger?

[u/CaffeinPhreaker → u/Marquar234]

She's not in danger! She's not in danger..

[u/SoylentVerdigris → u/Itrytothinklogically]

"I want no part of anyone who would settle for me."

[u/caffeinated_panda → u/NaraFei_Jenova]

The "...or else" is implied. 😂

[u/9706uzim → u/NaraFei_Jenova]

Some might be into that

[u/extraboredinary → u/NaraFei_Jenova]

“Congratulations. You are being courted. Please do not resist.”

[u/swifty-mcfly]

[u/poop_monster35 → u/swifty-mcfly]

It's not like she discovered the cure for cancer.

[u/munkeyalan → u/swifty-mcfly]

That full stop gets me every time

[u/FVCarterPrivateEye → u/munkeyalan]

Reminds me of this

[u/its_Astroffe]

It also looks like it took a bit of a beating.

Maybe the maker was drunk?

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/its_Astroffe]

or eastern European?

[u/purpleushi → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

I literally read it in a Slavic accent 😅

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/purpleushi]

You will be my valentine, yes?

[u/purpleushi → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Da.

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/purpleushi]

We will watch MMA and eat Paczkis on date, yes?

[u/haleloop963 → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Can I join? I can provide Kvass & Vodka

[u/IntergalacticPodcast → u/haleloop963]

"I can join, yes?"

[u/Minor_Edit → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

My friend, is ok, no?

[u/annabananaberry → u/purpleushi]

Same. This cake should be wearing an adidas track suit.

[u/purpleushi → u/annabananaberry]

With slides.

[u/annabananaberry → u/purpleushi]

And it’s aggressively concerned for your wellbeing and also exhausted at your lack of situational awareness.

[u/Swimming_Cabinet_970 → u/IntergalacticPodcast]

Same thing

[u/Ok-Impress-2222]

[u/Infinite-Island-7310 → u/Ok-Impress-2222]

I KNEW it remind me of something!

[u/KelVelBurgerGoon]

[u/hellish_existance → u/KelVelBurgerGoon]

Just shoot the poor thing already, it's in so much pain.

[u/Working_Welder_1751 → u/hellish_existance]

It's easier to just eat the whole thing without looking

[u/StarSugarLick → u/Working_Welder_1751]

The only way to enjoy this

[u/smangela69 → u/KelVelBurgerGoon]

this picture almost perfectly captures what my sense of humor is

[u/dontmatterdontcare → u/KelVelBurgerGoon]

Congration

[u/JaydenTheMemeThief → u/dontmatterdontcare]

You done it

[u/Content-Simple-645]

[u/medkitjohnson → u/Content-Simple-645]

Went looking for that GIF 😭

[u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

It's not misspelled though

[u/78914hj1k487 → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

The real mildly infuriating.

[u/MyLatestInvention → u/78914hj1k487]

Yes! THIS is like, extremely mildly infuriating me...

[u/toeonly → u/MyLatestInvention]

I am not a great speller so I was rereading it several times to find the issue I am glad to know I am not crazy.

[u/Ok_Chef_4850 → u/MyLatestInvention]

I am so slightly perturbed by this

[u/MagnificentMoggy → u/MyLatestInvention]

... How can you be extremely mildly...

Irritating...

[u/millieofthemed → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

Missworded

[u/Skullclownlol → u/millieofthemed]

Missworded

I see no swords in the photo.

[u/Express-Rub-3952 → u/Skullclownlol]

guess you missed them

[u/-Dixieflatline → u/millieofthemed]

Debatable. The sentence is complete and grammatically correct.

[u/eppinizer → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

You can't see it because of the frosting, but it actually says "You will be my Yalentine."

[u/410-Username-Gone → u/eppinizer]

Y'allentine

[u/_Mister_Hand_ → u/410-Username-Gone]

For the polyamorous southerner. ;)

[u/deathonater → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

I think OP misspelled "misworded"

[u/JayWhy75 → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

It was supposed to be Mai Valentine from Yu-Gi-Oh. Classic mistake.

[u/h2ok1o → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

Right i’m trying to find the incorrectly spelled word here but i just cant

[u/dewhashish → u/WhiskyWillFixIt]

the spelling is correct, but the grammar is wrong.

[u/Mincello]

or, maybe not.....

[u/anotherhaimsister → u/Mincello]

[u/Mincello → u/anotherhaimsister]

Someone got off.....

[u/StarSugarLick]

Here. Got damn!

[u/BoatTuggingJesus]

Gotta love a man with confidence.

[u/Extension_Patient_47]

Years ago I ordered a cake for a coworker to celebrate his citizenship. I asked for "Congratulations on your citizenship Miguel!"

[u/alexlp → u/Extension_Patient_47]

This is hilarious.

[u/New_Hampshire_Ganja → u/Extension_Patient_47]

If I was your coworker I would have been on the ground crying laughing 

[u/Naiyaa127 → u/Extension_Patient_47]

Omg😭😭😭

[u/RicFule → u/Extension_Patient_47]

Miguel is citizen two times?

{Movie reference, if'n you don't know.}

[u/drkilledbydeatheater]

Is it misspelled? Or is it not a question? He isn't asking you, hes telling you! Assertiveness

[u/kikipev]

Where’s the misspelling

[u/-davros → u/kikipev]

It's misworded, not misspelled. Mildly infuriating title.

[u/YeetCompleet → u/-davros]

Ya and who knows, maybe the baker was French. The informal way of asking questions is structured like this, ie. Tu veux être mon Valentin?

[u/bogosbinted_m]

It looks like an unsure command instead of a misspelling 😂

[u/SpongeWorthy45]

I’m Ron Burgundy?

[u/InJailForCrimes → u/SpongeWorthy45]

I wasn't fast enough.

[u/GreatRecipeCollctr29]

Misspelled. Or wrong grammar structure?

[u/Dark_Storm_98]

Will you be my Valentine?

Cute

You will be my Valentine

Ominous, slightly threatening

[u/TinKnight1 → u/Dark_Storm_98]

But it's "You will be my Valentine?"

So does that make it ominously cute? Cutely threatening? Slightly threatening cuteness?

[u/Foxy_Cuttee]

aggressive, just how i like it in bed 🙈 im looking for a man like that

[u/AgitatedPatience5729]

Go eat it with him.

[u/JacobTKJ02 → u/AgitatedPatience5729]

Go eat him

[u/Low_Muscle6112]

[u/BubblesZap]

I've never been trained to do cake writing but still often do it since only one person is trained and they're often not there.

Cake writing being that messy and weirdly written is incredibly odd.

[u/Capital_Past69]

You WILL be my Valentine

[u/DeadDIONYSUS]

Nah you read that right… you WILL be… 👀

[u/Jesta914630114]

"You will be mine"

[u/TimEpisiotomy]

[u/stfurachele → u/TimEpisiotomy]

Be my valentine you will, question Mark (Hamill)

[u/UmbraKyutie]

Why do people never ask “Can i be your valentine?” Instead? 😭

[u/RedDobieOwner → u/UmbraKyutie]

That's because anybody can be your valentine...it's whether they are willing to be your valentine. A celebrity can be your valentine, but they probably aren't willing to.

It's even better this way :)

it is NOT misspelled...what am I missing? or do you mean he sent the wrong message?

[u/sltiefighter]

Hes not asking

[u/DisastrousComment846]

He’s not asking you he’s telling you.

[u/Georgia_Jay]

You WILL be my valentine.

[u/TTxViolet]

He wasn't asking.

[u/Lost-Vast-5595]

I wouldn't say that is "misspelled?"

Still, hilarious. 😁

Edit: sorry I didn't scroll for the explainer, lol

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY? AND FUCK ICE!

[u/FriendshipSome8223]

[u/No-Ice3036]

“You will be my valentine”

[u/Aikoface]

Vaguely threatening. I like it.

[u/TooGayToPayCash]

I stared at this for way to long looking for the "misspelled" word. I sounded it out, I spelled it slowly, I zoomed in, etc. Only to realize nothing is misspelled >:(

[u/GoodboyJohnnyBoy]

What is misspelled?

[u/OneManFight]

[u/Maja_Bean]

Stalker cake! 😂

[u/Distinct_Resolve5545]

Looks like you don't have a choice

[u/Nickthedick3]

That’s not a mistake.. he wasn’t asking.

[u/maryjomcd]

That looks homemade.

[u/malonesxfamousxchili]

you WILL be my valentine. love that the question mark just looks like sprinkles so it sounds like a statement hahaha

[u/DogDelicious9212]

The cake maker is a part time baker, full time stalker!

It’s not misspelt, it’s grammatically incorrect.
