My Mom's Cake Fiasco!

This is too funny not to share!

The annual Duke Family Reunion was this past weekend. My mom decided to bring a cake with funny figurines of our family placed on it. To avoid having to make the cake and do the writing, she decided to place the cake order over the phone to Brookshire's (a grocery store in my home town). She told them that she wanted a full sheet cake, with plain white icing (no decorations or color) and the following written in black writing at the bottom of the cake:

Duke Family Reunion 2008
The Dale Duke Family

They called her the morning she planned to pick up the cake to verify what she wanted. She told them again to write at the bottom "Duke Family Reunion 2008-The Dale Duke Family", and to be sure and center it and to make SURE and put this at the bottom of the cake.

When she went to pick up this monstrous cake, the lady opened up the box to make sure it was her cake and got this mortified look on her face. She said, "This isn't right, I've got to get the girl that did this out here". The cake said:

At the bottom

"At the bottom" was actually written on the cake!!!! Not only that, but the writing was crooked and could've been done better by a first grader! She had them remove "At the bottom" - here's her masterpiece, after all was said and done:




I think, aside from the writing, it turned out really cute! And, she's got a funny story to go with it!
