Go to Tesco and buy one. If you don't the Boy will see that his cake is different to everyone elses and that will never do ~ not at that age. I have been down this route too many times.

Even for Minimus who cannot, because of the eggs, eat shop bought cake insists that a Tesco or Asda cake is purchased for distribution among his friends and we make him an individual egg free one for private consumption.

All queers can make quiche.




Have you never heard the one about "How do you know if you have been burgled by a queer? Your lap-top will be missing but he'll have dusted and popped a quiche in the oven before he left"

There was a thing on the wireless earlier about a woman that went into Asda or somesuch to have a cake made for her son’s 21st birthday. She took a picture of him as a baby but they refused to print it on the cake because they said it was pornographic…  noooo:

TBF to Asda they did explain that they have a company policy, from which staff may not deviate, that pictures of naked persons, be they children or adult, may not be "printed" onto their cakes. The staff did offer to either enlarge the picture and crop it appropriately or to place either an X or some other decoration over the offending portion of the photograph ~ but of course as always the facts should not be allowed to stand in the way of a good story that can take a swipe at political correctness. Personally, had my mother done such a thing with one of my baby photos, I would have crowned her with the cake ~ it's just not funny. noooo:

Full(ish) story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/7474968.stm

I heard an Asda chap being interviewed about it and he elaborated even more than this BBC report does

Actually just watching the video of the loving mother setting out to embarrass her son tells you all you really need to know about this story
