I get an email from a girl that wants a cake in the shape of a purse with MAC cosmetic coming out of it (all edible).

Sounds reasonable right? Guess again...

She wants it, but,I have to use the buttercream and the mix that they use at PUBLIX. This is a supermarket in Florida like Albertsons.

It has to be like this because its teh only cake her friend likes. So i wrote "I can definitely make the cake with MY bc and my batter"

My husband and i laughed at the email and now joke around:

"Hey can you make me a burger with the meat from Mcdonalds, the bread from BK and the cheese from Wendy's...Thanks!"

omg, we use the Wendy's/BK/Taco Bell thing around here, too!!

Floors me .... if they want Kroger icing, I invite them to buy their cake at Kroger. My icing doesn't taste like Kroger icing ... for a reason.

Along these same lines. I was at a Sam's club Sat morning. There had to be 75 sheet cakes marked for orders ready to be picked up. How in the world do you sell a cake to people with palates like cement trucks. I don't consider walmart cakes, cakes. LOLOL They are stick to the roof of your mouth glue.

I've had a Sam's club cake and several from Costco and they were good. I've also had a couple of bad ones from Costco.....not cement but sour (as in spoiled)!
