Cakes I've Known

Forgot to mention my birthday last month. Here's the evidence: a quarter sheet of cake I got at a warehouse retailer. I priced a cake at a small bakery that we like, but sad to say their much smaller cake cost more than the quarter-sheet, and I couldn't see myself paying nearly $20 for an ordinary-sized cake.

You can order the quarter-sheets with special words on it, but at my age I didn't bother with it. I just picked up a cake with "Happy Birthday" on it, which also happened to be decorated with sugar balloons. I would have taken one with "Happy Graduation" or an "Splendid Solstice" on it without any decoration. Man, it was tasty -- I hate to say it, but as good as our friendly neighborhood bakery.
