Okay… So with that title you may think, “Wow this girl is crazy.” Well, that isn’t really the case. I accidentally ate my ex’s wedding cake before he was married. I was horrified. I’ll start at the beginning. I’ve changed names for the sake of privacy.

So one of my old co-workers would bring cake scraps to work sometimes for us to pick at. You see, her Mom made cakes as a little side job. Let’s call my co-worker Lucy. So one day Lucy brought some discarded scraps of a cake her Mom had been working on. For those of you who haven’t made a cake or watched Cake Boss on Food Network, most of the time, there will be leftover pieces of cake from where the cake has been shaped and cut into the pattern that the customer would like.

So, we were all eating this really yummy cake at work, and of course I indulged myself because who the heck wouldn’t eat free cake, right?! But then the next day rolled around and that cake didn’t seem so innocent anymore. My ex and his new wife posted pictures on Facebook of the wedding cake. It was the same flavors as the cake that Lucy’s mom had made. At first, I was like, “Well it could be a coincidence. There are other people who make cakes around here.” But then I saw pictures from Lucy’s mom. It was the same cake. I had eaten scraps of my ex’s wedding cake a day before his wedding.

Now, needless to say I was horrified. I called up Lucy, and was like “You didn’t tell me this was from a wedding cake?!” She was a little baffled and wondered why it would matter where it came from. It was free cake after all. When I said that it came from my ex’s cake, she kind of lost it. It was just too funny. But I was still mortified. I felt as if I had just cursed my ex’s wedding. I guess it’s okay though because several years later they seem to be doing pretty okay. A few moments of horror lend to a whole lot of comedy now.
