But what is it good for?(Hooh! Good gah, y'all!)
I'll leave it up to you guys to explain what a "cake derator" does.(Best definitions gets posted below!)
Every time a surly employee "apologizes," I picture him/her doing finger quotes kinda like this.(And yes, this was taken in a bakery - pinky swear!)
"Honey, my mom is coming to stay for a few months. Isn't that great? I told her you wouldn't mind. Anyway, be a dear and go get a cake for us all to celebrate with, mkay?"
"You got it, sweetums! I know just the place..."
Personally, I like to celebrate cake as often as possible - with more cake.And finally, a few favs from the archives:
Perfect!
Also known as "Bubble and Squeak."(That's for you English Wreckies. Please, no need to thank me.)
The lawyers insisted.Update: I've since heard from the owner of that last bakery, who as I recall blamed the sign on an in-law. Heh. At any rate, I think the sign has now been removed. See? Another example of the power of Wreckage, used for good! :D
Many "thanks" to wreckporters Robb & Abby, Allison M., Matt K., Steph, Kristen F., & Bonbon.

"combination of a confectioner's pastry and the Latin word deratoria, meaning "the unspeakable", a professional bakery employee who designs, quality checks, or creates cakes that render the recipients speechless.
But, I think the true essence of the term "Cake Derator" is in the anagram it creates: "Karate Decor."
(I like to imagine "Karate Decor" as being a baby's bedroom decorated with ninjas.)"
