What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate
I'm always fascinated by the breakdown in communication that can occur when you order a cake. I love figuring out what went wrong just by looking at the cake; it beats any crossword puzzle or word jumble.
Other times there's a severe misunderstanding from the get-go:
I like to think that if they'd spelled "capital" correctly they might have figured it out.
Sometimes you specifically ask for little plastic "Happy Birthday sticks" stuck in your order of cupcakes:
Other times you're just not specific enough:
And sometimes, on wonderful, rare occasions, you get an amazingly talented baker. A baker with mad piping skills, a steady hand, and perfect spelling. A baker who, incidentally, is also a little hard of hearing. So, when you get this baker, and you want to order a giant Gerber daisy on your cake, just be sure you enunciate really, really well.
Because otherwise...
(Yes, really. Scout's honor.)
