Expectation vs Reality, Vol. 27

Jamie ordered this zebra-stripe cake in blue and green:

...but she got this:

Mmm. Squishy.

(Anyone else seeing under-ripe banana peels?)

I'm still not sure what happened to Deirdre's Nemo cake. 
She ordered this:

...but got... this?

After much puzzling, I've decided that thing in the middle is a snow globe.

Which only prompts more questions, if you think about it.

And finally, Jody ordered a rainbow cake from this website promising next day delivery:

Just to be clear, that's the picture on the bakery's own website, so it's not like they were asked to match someone else's work.

(Drum roll, please.)

Aaaaand this is what turned up at Jody's door the next day:

I have lost the ability to even, you guys.

That's right.

I CAN'T EVEN.

Thanks to Jamie B., Deirdre D., & Jody E. for proving you can't always trust things ordered off the internet. (But I still have high hopes for this at-home lipo kit, so hey, wish me luck!)

Of Unicorn Crime Scenes And Flashy Holidays

Hyphen8 writes, "Whatever happened to these unicorns, it wasn't pretty."

O.o

Not to mention whoever eats these will have a half life, a cursed life!

Assuming they've read Harry Potter, of course.

It's so hard maintaining your secret identity with bakers around, am I right, Flash?

I also hear it's tricky to get bakers to understand the concept of Jeff/Daddy.

(Give that one a second... it's a few leaps.)

And finally, a TRUE STORY, as reported (or "wreck-ported") by Tish K:

Baker: "Yes, we can do that for May 5th, what name do you want on the cake?”

Tish: “No name, just 'Cinco de Mayo.'”

Baker: “So you want, 'Happy Birthday, Cinca dimea?'”

Tish: “No birthday, the cake is for the holiday, Cinco de Mayo.”

Baker: “Ah, OK, 'Happy Cinco dimea!'”

Tish: "Yes, for Cinco de Mayo, but don’t write 'Happy', just write ‘Cinco de Mayo.’ And it’s not 'dimea', it's D-E space M-A-Y-O. De Mayo!”

Baker, skeptical: “That sounds like an I.”

Tish: "Well, yes, it sounds like an I, but it's spelled with an A.”

And this was me, reading this entire exchange:

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, DO GO ON."

And let me tell you, minions, I was not disappointed:

Olé!

Thanks to Hyphen, Callum Y., & Tish K. for the cultural exchange.
