My handwriting isn't the best, but it's not too bad when using a bag of icing. The problem was that half the time they'd want a name added to an existing "Happy Birthday" cake that was already out in the case. Those Happy Birthday's had been done by our regular decorator and I always felt bad (and warned the customers) that there was NO Way I was going to be able to match the original handwriting... we won't even get into the color matching issue.<br /><br />Luckily this was back in 1998 before I changed to warehouse work and then moved into IT with Amazon.com... otherwise I'd worry some of my handiwork would've shown up here.CharlesPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857232495841653049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-83548799184479485872009-04-29T06:36:00.000-04:002009-04-29T06:36:00.000-04:00I love the 18th/21st birthday cake, now I know wha...I love the 18th/21st birthday cake, now I know what to do when my kids turn those ages.

And then I could practice my alien robot impersonation greeting a new coworker. <br /><br />And to the few of you who don't think the Oma cake is a wreck: it is not because the name is uncommon! It is because it was an afterthought in mismatched icing, there are missing word(s), and spacing issues. Definately a wreck. <br /><br />And to the mom's that make one sheet cake for two kids special days: if it bothers them, cut it in half and make TWO cakes. Wow. Not hard. Buying from the store, 2 half sheets cost mores than 1 full sheet, but if you make yourself, just spread the icing a little thinner!!!<br /><br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-16482235292975647272009-04-25T11:01:00.000-04:002009-04-25T11:01:00.000-04:00OMG, the last one - when I was managing a bakery a...OMG, the last one - when I was managing a bakery at a big-box store I was in very very early one morning making donuts and this woman came in and grabbed one of our "Happy Birthday" cakes out of the case. She asked me if I would put a name on it. Well apart from the fact that my cursive is just AWFUL (I have been exclusively printing since high school) I was NOT a cake decorator, just the department manager. AND the icing the C.D had piped the writing in wasn't in a bag any more so I had to grab the next-closest color. UGH! My cake probably looked a lot like this one. I apologized profusely to the customer but she said it looked "great". Yeeeaaah.
