I don't consider myself a picky or high maintenance consumer. Actually, I'm more of a pushover. I once left a salon with the worst haircut known to man, near tears, and I told the chick who mutilated my hair that I liked it, just so I wouldn't hurt HER feelings. I'm a wuss about all things that involve me, but I've undergone a transformation since having my daughters and I actually take up for my kids. No, check that, I will mess a fool up for my children! I'm like a lioness, or whatever you call a big, bad mama lion. So when the United Bakery on 82nd and Frankford here in Lubbock, TX, tried to pass this craptastic cake off as what I ordered, I went ballistic! Does THIS PIECE OF CRAP look like the Emerald City to you?
Our theme was the Wizard of Oz, and I brought one of Makenzi's plates up to the bakery and asked them to paint the Emerald City much like you see in the plate HERE, minus the red shoes. The plan was to stick our mini Madame Alexander Dorothy doll on the yellow brick road and have the city in the background and her on her way to see the Wizard of Oz, yet this cake is more like the WIZARD OF BLOB. The crappy cake was free (they knew immediately that we weren't going to buy the stupid thing...I mean, come on, I'm not as good as Layci at drawing and stuff, but even I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER THAN THIS!!!), but it didn't stop me from making a scene. I think this was the first time in my life I didn't tell someone "It's okay" when they told me they were sorry. Makenzi didn't seem to think it looked like a blob. She said, "Oh, my cake is beauuuuu-ti-ful, Mommy" when she overheard (it wasn't hard to overhear me) griping about it to Donnie. I now have a CAKEWRECK of my own to post!
