| - Okay, so it's not ENTIRELY their fault...
Realized early yesterday that we had yet to get Mom a cake for her birthday today. Called up Dad and he figured that since we'd been at least pleased with Cathy's before, maybe we could get a last-minute order in. He said they took everything down and put in the order for a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream in the middle and whipped topping.
He picked it up today, and was told that it was completely frozen and would need a while to defrost. Seemed a bit odd, given the lateness of the request, but hey, maybe they had one like the kind he wanted all ready to go. We cut into it tonight after singing "happy birthday" only to find...yellow cake with strawberries.
I'm not sure if they mixed up the cake for another woman with the same name as Mom, grabbed the wrong one, or what, but it's not the cake we ordered. I guess this is what we get for ordering at the last minute. Also, Dad has digestion issues with berries, so he was less than pleased. The cake was good, but it would have been better if it was what we had ordered instead.
