Tina Jones wanted to give her friend — a Philadelphia police officer — a cake to help him celebrate 25 years of service to the department, so she decided to have a local bakery decorate it for the occasion, WPVI-TV reported .
It was a pretty simple design: “Happy 25th Anniversary” written to the officer in blue atop white frosting, his badge number — and a Philadelphia police badge with the motto, “Honor, Integrity, Service,” the station said. What happened next?
After Jones got the cake from the Bakery House in Bryn Mawr, a Philly suburb, her officer friend was about to bring it into his office to share with colleagues when Jones noticed the three words on the badge were a tad different, WPVI noted.
The badge motto instead read, “Coffee, Corruption, Donuts,” the station said.
“I wanted to cry because I’m like, ‘I can’t believe they did this,'” Jones later told WPVI. “That’s so humiliating to put on someone’s cake who is serving 25 years and in a not-so-easy job.” What did the bakery have to say?
Sandy Stauffer, owner of the Bakery House, told the station the offending badge decoration was used by mistake.
“My decorator is beyond upset; she’s been crying all weekend, we all have been because it’s mortifying,” Stauffer noted to WPVI. “We are not the kind of business that would ever, ever disrespect [police]. Everyone should be respected; this was not done on purpose.”

Stauffer explained to the station there were over 100 orders the decorator needed to complete, and Jones’ order was near the end of the pile that day.
But when the decorator saw the image of the badge Jones provided, the decorator thought it appeared too blurry to look good on a cake, WPVI reported. Stauffer explained to the station that the decorator then went online and found a crisper, clearer image of what appeared to be the same badge.However, the chosen replacement image instead read, “Coffee, Corruption, Donuts.” Philly Voice called attention to the bakery’s Facebook page apology posted Monday — which was not online Thursday afternoon — and the outlet said the apology […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
