"What I Found In My Email" Mondays. Vol.2 - Issue 5

Here we are again after a long week and weekend of battling snow and ice. But there is hope. Hope that many find in the comforts of "what I found in my email" Monday's.

Several years ago, I lost my family event "cake getting" duties. You see, when I was charged with the duty (yes I said duty) of getting a cake for some family function or get together, I would go to the local bakery or grocery store and just pick up the first thing I would see. I wouldn't even read it. Sometimes I would grab a Batman cake for my Dad's 60th birthday party. Or a bar mitzvah cake for an anniversary. HOWEVER, I have never perpetrated a caper quite like the one shown on cake shown below.



I don't blame the recipient for this, rather the non-enrish speaking employee of the bakery is probably at fault.

Here is how I think this went down:

Walmart Employee: Hello 'dis Walmarts, how can I hepp you?'

Customer: 'I would like to order a cake for a going away party this week.'

Walmart Employee: 'What you wan on cak?'

Customer: 'Best Wishes Suzanne' and underneath that 'We will miss you'.

Happy Monday everyone.

says -Maybe this bakeshop should post a warning in the front door or their display window "Order a Cake and have it printed for FREE at your own risk!". Where did you order this cake anyway? But come to think, the laughter and detox you got from this blooper is worth it ha!ha!

Now THAT is a CAKE. I guess the whole bakery speaks enrish, or nobody every bothers to check the cakes written by low level employees.
