In response to cake lovers (of which I am one): The poor man looked like he was about to cry. One had to feel for him. Before one stuck one’s finger in the icing. I think one guest – after people had mostly wandered off – picked up the styrofoam and licked it.

Perhaps the tarts weren’t really tarts and the salmon not really salmon?

Are you all high? There was supposed to be cake and yet there was no actual cake! I’d be pissed because OMFG I WANT SOME DAMN CAKE!

I take my cake very, very seriously. That is all.

(LOL at Kerrianne’s response!)

I can’t believe his wife let him get as far as attempting to cut the fake cake.

I’m with Angella and Emily. As a confirmed chocoholic, I strongly feel that there would have been no need to “keep up appearances.”
With chocolate frosting around, no need for stryofoam or any faux base, either, just a SPOON.

Aw, tohellwithit. If it was my birthday, just my fingers.

If this happened to me, you bet your ass I would have picked up that “cake” and licked that styrofoam clean. No frosting goes to waste on MY BIRTHDAY, that’s for sure.

NBB: Always. ALWAYS.

The Over-Thinker: I adore Edward Gorey. If your blog gets Goreyed up, I will be insanely jealous. I will visit your blog 5 times a day and whimper softly.

Kerrianne: I bet there was a pie, hidden under the tarts and salmon and spinach dip. I would not be at all surprised.

Angella: My cakes tend to be a tub of Betty Crocker frosting and a spoon.

I would be cheesed if my cake was Styrofoam. Or maybe not.

I am all about the icing. The cake is just a means to get the icing into your mouth.

Why waste time with the cake? Maybe she was onto something.

Ooh! ooh! I have the Amphigorey. It makes me bizarrely happy.

And the cake thing…that’s just mean.

I have poison oak.

Oh! I just noticed your “On the Bedside Table”—I LOVE that book. Actually, all-things-Gorey. My husband’s a graphic designer and I’m trying to get him to Gorey-Up my blog for me. I’ll shoot you an e-mail when it’s done. Say, 2015?
