Woman Baked her Icecream Cake (hey, that rhymes)

[Whiskey]

One of our newbies at my restaurant warmed up a cobbler in the microwave today

Whats so bad about warm cobbler, you horrible perso--

WITH the ice cream already on it.

Old people is right. My grandma's kitchen was also carpeted so was the bathroom. It wasn't the same kind of carpet that covered the rest of the house though. And check this, the bedrooms didn't have carpet, nope, when you spent the night at grandma's you freeze your feet off on some kind of hard, cold ground. I have no idea what its called though.

Baked an ice cream cake and bitched about it.... She should have been embarassed and there to pay for a new one.

Oh man...that is definitely a new low in stupidity.

I used to work at a DQ that sold ice cream cakes. You would not believe how many people bought the cakes and stuck them the fridge, then called us up complaining that their cake melted, even though it said on the box to keep it frozen.


Yeah.

[LillFilly]

There are no words for this woman. I hope to the Gods she's sterile!

Oh, remember 70's era guacamole-colored appliances!? My parents had the oven and fridge with matching washer/dryer.

My parents' kitchen had carpet when we moved into the house - I was about 2 at the time; it wasn't replaced until several years later. Oh, and it was this pattern .

Critical thinking. It's what's for dinner dessert.

fixed that.

I suspect that the Baked Alaska was not baked correctly. The assembly could have been perfect, but a person who thinks that slushy Baked Alaska needs to go in for longer, doesn't understand how to bake it. She probably put them in at 350 F, because that's what you bake everything at, right? 500 can't possibly be correct, who would bake something at that temperature?

My home ec teacher in 8th grade let us watch her make baked Alaska. It was yummy, as I recall. But I don't think she trusted a bunch of 13 year olds to do it right.

I borrowed a book of science for girls from a friend once. (What. It was a science book). It had all sorts of everyday experiements. It had a dessert like Baked Alaska in it, but made on cookies instead. Unfortunately there was an error in the book and the temperature was insanely low, so they didn't work. But I got to make them (in elementary school), and it would have worked if I hadn't blindly followed the recipe! (My mom let me make lots of messes as long as I was learning something/ having fun) .

After reading this thread, I now have a hankering for fried ice cream.

[Kristev]

Poor ice cream cake. It deserved a better life, at a party where it could be enjoyed by all. Not ruined by Scorpion's wife!

[Argabarga]

I hope at least the cookie crumbles were still edible... those are great!

[superhotelworker]

new sign to hang over the freezer that says "caution, do not bake ice cream. Will result in carpet destroying soup."

That woman is my hero. <3 And what a dumbass for ice cream cake in the oven. I'd tell her "Your mess up, doesn't equal me PAYING up. ICE cream. The first WORD implies it's SUPPOSED to be cold.. Duh."

[ExRetailDrone]

I don't understand what her problem was about the cake being cold, regardless. I have never had a pre-ordered cake that was warm and fresh right out of the oven. If you make a cake at home, you're supposed to let it cool before eating it. You can't decorate a non-cooled cake! So, even if it wasn't an ice cream cake, she would still be a moron for trying to twice bake a cake.

The fact that it was an ice cream cake... my soul just weeps.

One of our newbies at my restaurant warmed up a cobbler in the microwave today WITH the ice cream already on it. Mind you I work with adults...........

hahaha

I told a co-worker about this one. His response: "Tell her that she has to bring the entire cake into the store with the box and receipt in order to get her refund. After all, the store needs to make sure she didn't eat 3/4 of it and is just trying to scam them. If she shows up with a sludge filled box and a chunk of carpet, give her the money back. No carpet, no refund."

Damn, now I'm going to have to go find my "T.S.T.L." stamp.....

That is an awesome idea

Being married to a career military man, I've lived in a LOT of rented houses over the years. One actually did have carpet in the kitchen, my first thought was WTF, but actually it was some type of indoor/outdoor carpet, looked pretty decent, cleaned up quite easily, and was actually nicer to stand on for long periods than bare floor. I still prefer bare floor with a rug at the sink or counter, but would rather have the carpet we had there in the kitchen than the shag carpet we've had in the bathroom a few times - one stopped up toilet and you want to just rip it out and throw it away, ick.

My mom's bathroom had carpet in it, but I don't think it was the indoor/outdoor stuff, just regular carpet. It smelled so mildewy, we finally replaced it...well, actually I went to home depot, bought some tiles, tore up the carpet, and did it myself. It was a while ago, I think I had gotten out of the shower (using her's cause our's was broken) and my feet instantly felt dirty and I was so fed up that I just decided to do it myself. Did a darn good job too. Maybe I'll post piccys when I'm not being lazy.

F&F, you need to write a book. Seriously, your stories are just hilarious, and you write so well.

Lol, at the restaurant I worked at we did have a comic strip that we all kept. Whenever there were stupid customers we'd add it to the book of stupid. There was some good stuff in there too. And I'm not sure how good my writing is, I think I just end up in the middle of situations that're so hilarious there's no way they won't be funny on a retelling.

Oh yeah, just thought about this. Cakewrecks.com is awesome!

You're right, it is! My mum makes special occasion cakes, I am so going to have to show her those!
