Just as I feared, it’s a birthday, and they have their own cake. Naturally this party is not my only table, and the last thing I have time for during the rush is to dish out fucking cake to 15 people, sadly, the choice isn’t mine. I get some candles and find the cake in the walk in fridge. It is very nicely decorated and I don’t see any way to put these candles in without ruining the frosty decor. For reasons still unknown to me, I decide to place about 8 or 9 candles in a very small square in the center of the cake. I light them before walking out to the table only to find that the are so close together that the candles now resemble a large torch in the middle of the cake. I hurry out to the table with this inferno, wax getting everywhere and exclaim “Happy Birthday”! I put the cake down in front of the poor birthday girl and dart to the back. Thank God for added gratuity.
