About 3-4 months after the successful surgery he went back complaining of severe cramps. Well, lo and behold, yep you guessed it, they found a pair of surgical scissors inside him. They showed up like a bright Christmas tree on a dark night inside him. Needless to say, they were scrambling to have him not sue them. Lucky for them, he was a nice guy and did not sue but I've often wondered with so many people how that would even be possible. Now I know there are unemployed bakers becoming doctors. eeegaad!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-13612674076136164432010-10-26T01:35:31.379-04:002010-10-26T01:35:31.379-04:00Omg I know another bakery that left scissors in th...Omg I know another bakery that left scissors in the cake and then one time when someone was ordering a cake they asked what type of filling they had, when told of the fillings they asked if they also had scissor filling.. hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-67588801215371078912010-08-21T23:11:17.060-04:002010-08-21T23:11:17.060-04:00I feel bad now for all the times ive used icing to...I feel bad now for all the times ive used icing to even out a cake thats gone a bit wonky....

(I do hope you're exaggerating about the quarter-inch, though; usually they're quite a bit thinner than that.)<br /><br />The person who made the cake should have either told you this or not covered the plastic completely with frosting, though. (An exceptionally nice caterer, like my mom, would have given you an extra tub of frosting to touch up the cake after removing the plastic support).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-12097530115756713802010-03-03T00:06:18.966-05:002010-03-03T00:06:18.966-05:00My husband and I had a military wedding and used h...My husband and I had a military wedding and used his sword to cut the first piece of cake. I have a picture of me with a grimace on my face as we tried to cut the cake. We discovered that the baker put a hard plastic support on the layer and iced over it. We were trying to cut through a quarter inch piece of plastic! Ultimately we cut below the plastic and people got pieces of cake without icing on the top.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07549523495974184557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-30460503969271249082010-03-01T19:48:31.427-05:002010-03-01T19:48:31.427-05:00OMG, lol on the 'mouse-filled' cake PixieOMG, lol on the 'mouse-filled' cake PixieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-60155839162059076882010-03-01T15:25:37.615-05:002010-03-01T15:25:37.615-05:00I can't believe the store had the nerve to acc...I can't believe the store had the nerve to accuse the patron of planting the scissors herself!!

Funniest part is that wedding coordinator (who did not order the cake) knew exactly what the problem was and what to do about it (she told us to cut under the cardboard)...so she had obviously seen this happen before!<br /><br />Actually, that's not the funniest part. The funniest part is when, which trying to remove the top tier, the person who was moving it lost their balance. The top tier went flying and was caught deftly in mid air by our best man, to which my husband replied "The force is strong with this one" (their "bachelor party" was going to see Star Wars Episode I so that was perfect)Galehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119498262301807853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-2553662876976247662010-02-28T10:44:40.235-05:002010-02-28T10:44:40.235-05:00Recovery Actor, what's wrong with Royal icing ...Recovery Actor, what's wrong with Royal icing on a wedding cake? That's traditional over here. I do question what you'd have to do to the icing to make it uncuttable. I mean, you'd have to make it super viscous and layer it on very thickly. Had she put a layer of marzipan under the icing, or just tried to do it /all/ in icing? Had she added any lemon juice or glycerin?<br /><br />I just don't see how this would happen.
