A photo of a cake depicting a very rough sketch of the Edmonton Oilers logo at a local grocery store has fans cackling at the so-bad-it’s-almost-good design.
The photo, which was posted to X, was reportedly taken at a Safeway location in Sherwood Park.

Art is, of course, subjective, and this cake design gives us flashbacks to elementary school during the Oilers’ 2006 cup run. We were furiously drawing logos on every piece of paper we could find as the playoff energy swept the city.
Though many found the unsophisticated design endearing, many others were quick to crack jokes at the cake’s expense.
Probably a Dallas Stars fan.

it’s charming in a way, like a 5 year old’s drawing 😅

This cake was definitely made by a woman named Brenda and she could not even today. Respect.
