George: Well, what is that? Is that–is that dollars? $1200?
Franck: Vel, Moster Bonks, dis ees a vary raisonable price for a keck of dis magnootud.
George: A cake, Franck, is made of flour and water. My first car didn’t cost $1200.
The Fiancé and I had our first cake tasting over the weekend at a bakery in Maryland. The cakes were delicious, the staff was wonderful and we were quoted a price that was within budget. We left elated and confident that another wedding decision had been made.
Yesterday the proposed contract was e-mailed to us, with the pastry chef’s apologizes. You see, she misquoted us: delivery from Bethesda to D.C. is actually $150. My cake is travelling 7 miles down the road, and it is basically one road they have to drive down. For you with liberal arts degrees, the math works out to over $20 a mile to just have the cake delivered to our reception venue.
The cake now totals more than my wedding dress cost.
