About my new job... Ironically, NSFW

I bet no one will be able to tell where I'm working now... Most days are pretty mundane and hardly interesting. I've made some cute designs but nothing yet that was worth a dedicated post. I've been told that we once decorated a cookie cake with a teddy bear holding a rose that read, "Sorry Mom, I like boys." Coming out to your family with a cookie cake is the funniest cookie cake story I'd heard... till today.

So this guy comes in and starts to order a cake, but is being confusing and coy about it. Wondering why we're asking so many questions about what he wants for the design and why do we need to know what the occasion is/ who it's for, NORMAL questions. Then he says he wants the Superman logo. I tell him it's copyrighted and I can't do it, but I can use a different initial.




Then the shifty-ness is explained. It's for his lesbian friend's going away party.


While I work on his order he needs to decide what it should say. So he'll call me back...


Time passes and I finish well before the delivery time. But he still hasn't called about the message. So, I call. He thought about it and came up with nothing. He tells me to write whatever I think will be best. Bad idea or BEST IDEA EVER?!?!?!


He picks up the cake and leaves happy with his purchase. Then calls back about 20 minutes later to tell us that everyone thought it was hilarious. Sometimes, work can be fun. Lol.
