Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gotta love the Kwanzaa Kake.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, that's a thing.

hip deep in pie

I had a little nap instead of shovelling.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was at a friend's birthday party where another friend showed up with a Sandra Lee-inspired "cake" for the birthday girl.

Let me be clear: I *love* cake. LOVE. I'm not sure I've ever met a cake I didn't like, although of course I do have preferential ranking.

I took one bite of that "cake" and seriously spit it back out. It was, like Cool Whip and -- I think booze??? -- and maybe an angel food cake and jello and I'm not sure what all else.

I like all of those things inividually (or, at the very least, they aren't so offensive to my taste buds that I would spit them out). I have no idea what dark majicks were worked upon that "cake" to make it so disgusting.

The birthday girl's *dog* wouldn't eat the cake.

Because books.

Dude. That's a nasty cake.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

The cake wasn't presented as a joke cake? The friend was trying to bring something "nice"? Ouch.

That sounds about right. There should have been something out of a can as well.

Dude. That's a nasty cake.

No. Shit.

More than one thing. And perhaps more than one thing that came out of a bag.

It might have been a joke cake. But the birthday girl was all excited about it. I think there was another, non-Sandra Lee cake, too. I started drinking margaritas to forget how bad it was. Obviously there were not enough margaritas to erase the memory.

I would laugh and scream with delight if someone brought me a Semi-Ho cake. And then not eat it.

Because seriously.
