Posted on 04/05/2023 2:46:51 PM PDT by nickcarraway

When putting through a custom order on anything, we’re often told it’s always best to give as much detail as you can to avoid any confusion. Even better if you give a picture or sketch reference.

But for one Costco customer, this strategy turned their custom cake order rather pear-shaped. And we’re sorry, but we’re laughing along with the internet on this one!

Hysterical! I remember the first time I saw this in the book “Cake Wrecks”. I could not stop laughing for about an hour, and after that I’d start laughing every time I thought about it. One of the best laughs ever.

I was not the bored jokester working, but I have some friends that would definitely do that. I’m not convinced that was a mistake. LOL.

Not really. perimeter is the outside edge of any object.

Good thing nobody ever asked you to:

- Set up a perimeter defense of your unit’s position.
