Loved that link.
Have my own personal cake wrecking story. For DS2's christening I ordered a cake from Maison Blanc, with his name iced on (a very masculine name). The picture of the cake in the catalogue had white icing with brown writing and I assumed that was what I was getting. Went to collect the cake on the morning and it was ... completely pink (with his name on)!
Too late to get another cake done, but to give them some credit, I got it for free (saving £95) so I didn't mind too much. And everyone saw the funny side.
