TOPIC: Little bunny foo-foo

So today is my mom's birthday and I was in charge of ordering the cake. I carried out this duty a couple days ago, ordering a 'number' cake in the shape of a '6' and a '0' since my mom is turning 60 today. Someone went to pick up the cake a couple of hours ago and found that though I said I wanted a 'number' cake, someone obviously thought what I wanted was a 'bunny' cake with 60 on it somewhere. Obviously my mom wanted no part of a $70 cake which looked like a freaking easter bunny so we declined to purchase it. <br /><br />I get a call from the bake shop around 15 minutes later saying that since they screwed it up, they would let us have it for $20 dollars instead. Now, I'm thinking here...mmmm, I get to eat cake and who the hell cares what it looks like and it'll only cost me $20! That's a winner. I talk to my mom and my sister, both of whom are flat against taking the cake. So I call to let them know that we're going to pass on it, just as the person there says 'oh, really? I was just call you and tell you that you could have it for free". Doh. So not only do I not get cake, I don't even get free cake, which as far as I'm concerned is just about the best kind of cake.<br /><br />Feh.

LOL!  Just think, if you had taken it, it might have multiplied - it being a bunny cake, that is.  :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat: :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat: :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat: :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat: :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat: :bunny: :icon_albino: :icon_cat:<br /><br />I can't begin to tell you how many times I've done a similar thing and gotten a mistake like that.  Say Happy B'day to your Mom for me.  Hope it's a good one.

The sad thing is I really am feeling sorta pissy about not being able to eat free cake. I feel gyped somehow, like the universe offered me something good and then snatched it out of my greedy hands at the last minute. Curse you buttery bake shop and the fact you didn't call and say it was free earlier!<br /><br />Anyway, my mom dosen't seem to care that much about the lack of a cake. Our birthday celebrations are all rather mild and low key anyway.

I think some creative cake surgery is in order -- lop off the ears and the tail and spread their icing over any other bunny parts.  It will make your mom feel real special.

Yeah that really does kinda suck, both ways. Free cake is always good, and what does it matter what it looks like, your going to eat it anyways.
