Anyways, the story. Today at work (My alias Tasha works at Magleby's Oyster Bar and Grill as a busser) we needed a cake piped (meaning written on) and I, being a super hero, naturally had the best cake writing skills (definitely not true.....) And I was given a cake the size of about half of a regular brownie pan, to write "Happy 42nd Birthday Suzanne!" on. Simple enough for a super hero, right? WRONG! I wrote on the cake (and it took forever, I might add....writing small with frosting is not an easy task...) and it all seemed perfect...or close enough to. Until I realized this....take a look and see if you can spot my blunder...
Ok...I know...we're ignoring the fact that all the letters are different sizes....and it's horribly not centered...and the S looks like a demented snake about to eat the U....and there's a chunk falling off the E...and everything is lopsided and funny looking. Look past all of that. Yeah....go ahead and use your super vision to look at those two Zs... Now imagine the cake without one of them. Looks better, right? That's because one of them shouldn't be there.
Fixable with duct tape? Unfortunately not. Redoable? Thankfully, yes. Now some of you may think this was a mistake. But I never make mistakes. It was a slow day today and a rather long one at Mags....so really, I was just saving the day once more by providing some entertainment for my coworkers and all of hte fortunate Magleby's customers. And the prep chef that got to take the screw up cake home :). What would the world be without super heroes like the great Duct Tape Man? I shudder to think......

I hope you remember, for the record, who created the original duct tape man. The figurine, the pants, the shirt, the amazing logo, the cape, etc. I have generously allowed you to have creative license of my superhero, but you just make sure you don't forget where he came from. :)
