How excited was I - I nearly ran off the road! Unfortunately I had to get out of my car so I missed the end of the interview. But congrats! I've nearly fallen off my seat laughing at some of the stupidity you've posted. Thank goodness there's so many dumb ppl out there or, as you put it so nicely, "people who have brain snaps" (or something like that). Congrats on the success of the book. I hope John is on the mend, too.

No, she didn't put them in the lace pattern as requested, but the particular design in question was included in the examples so it wasn't entirely her fault.

Do they dim the lights so that people (as in, "potential customers") can't see the cakes well enough to really appreciate the (clears throat) artwork?<br />OR, if the store is actually closed, why do they need light at all? Will the cakes get nightmares about themselves without a nightlight? <br />OR, maybe the light is to attract thieves who are looking for a late-night snack, and the cakes are sitting on an alarm wired to the P.D.?<br />So many questions....<br />so little interest in the answers.<br />>^~-^<sendingtheclownshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14962195863100862922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-30609231299447431952009-10-14T20:57:29.392-04:002009-10-14T20:57:29.392-04:00I usually read your lj feed, but you hit the times...I usually read your lj feed, but you hit the times and I was curious if there was baker wank yet.<br /><br />There was.
