Friends of ours, VERY involved in Little League sports ..............................
team name is the "Lug Nuts" ..................... Mom wanted "Way to Go, Lug Nuts" on the cake for the banquet tonight......................... she went to pick up the cake that she'd ordered from WalMart - and arrived to a BLANK cake - when she questioned there being no sentiment on the cake, she was told that WalMart doesn't decorate cakes with references to "male genitalia" ......................... when she picked her jaw up off the floor, she demanded to see the bakery manager - who ALSO referred to "male genitalia" ................... OK, she's steaming now - she demanded to speak with the store manager ...................... who tried to placate her, offering to have whatever she wanted on the cake lettered ....................... now, you'd have to know this lady - she suffers fools & condescension about as well as I do ...................... she informed the store manager, in NO uncertain terms, that if he hired people who's first language is ENGLISH, issues such as this wouldn't repeatedly occur {she made reference to a cake made last year, that was supposed to be cupcakes, made to look like a cowboy boot - it looked like a bunch of cupcakes, in a weird configuration} ........................... ahhhh, the joys of living here .......................... ;-)

Can't help it. :) What I want put on a cake is none of my bakers business - and if they get their undergarments all in a knot, then I need to deal with a baker of broader mind and greater talent at minding their own business.
What's appropriate for one audience, won't be for another, and will be simply silly/tacky for a third. And it's unlikely that a bakery will know my audience du jour.
Thus...the baker that gives ME the least crap about my requested decorations for the very most risque of stag parties - suddenly gets ALL of my baking business and all other baking business that I can refer their way.
Grrrrrr.
I agree with gay cynic........ what a load of bull. They should have just put anything she wanted on that cake.
English is our FIRST language, so they better start learning it now. Of course, I think there's to many of them and they've gotten away without learning so why should they now.
