Faulty Towers

"My sister-in-law had a beach destination wedding in Mexico, and decided that she loved this sand castle cake:"
"Upon speaking with the baker, she explained that she understood that the baker may not be able to recreate the cake exactly, but would be happy with something similar. The baker insisted that she could make a cake as equally beautiful. They agreed that the cake would be 3 tiers, with the sand castle on the top.
"On the wedding day, she instead got 3 separate tiers, each topped with its own version of a flesh colored sand castle:
That door and window are what really sell it.
"Luckily, the Bride and guests have a great sense of humor, so the Penis Cake was the hit of the reception."
To be fair, they could also be mushrooms. Really happy, attentive mushrooms.
[insert "fun guy" joke here]
"My sister-in-law was disappointed, of course, but even she had to laugh."
Wow, talk about a good-natured bride! I'm totally sending this to the next newly-wed who e-mails me complaining that her cake's shade of cerulean was a little off. PERSPECTIVE.
Oh, and here's the real kicker:
"After the reception, they discovered that the 'castles' were merely frosting covered Styrofoam, so this cake topper now has a place of honor in the loving couple's home."
Bwahahaa! Now that's my kind of wedding memento!
Thanks to Marisa for letting me use an epic John Cleese pun for the title, even if I couldn't think of any more Fawlty Towers jokes to work into the post. You must excuse me; I'm from Barcelona. (Ok, so that's ONE.)

P.S. Do you wear glasses? Do you like flamingos? Like, a lot?
