cake for your re-birthday

ok, i have to figure out the most delicate way of saying this....
i should start out maybe by saying that i'm in no way intending for this to be making fun *of* people. not even really the cake....ok, here's the story.
it starts a few months ago when chester comes back from this small bakery near the prop shop. their cakes are great, their donuts even better.
anyway, chester comes back, all flustered, and he says "you won't believe what i just saw"
and proceeds (with very graphic detail) to describe the cake he has just seen at this bakery. from the cherries on the boobs for nipples, to the chocolate use of sprinkles for pubic hair, to the pink icing for the labia. and most puzzling the inscription "from your family".
i believed him...i mean, really. who would make that up? so we're at the same bakery today picking up a cake for becky's birthday and a father/daughter-ish teams comes in and wants to order a cake and all i hear is "pink and purple, pink and purple, pink and purple" and they're flipping through this book and i see, like, pictures of teddy bears and a cross and stuff. all of a sudden chester goes "hold on. just hold on" and i said "what?" because i didn't think i was antsy or anything.
so then he whispers "the cake that i saw was in THAT BOOK!" so then he says to the girl behind the counter "uh....we're having a lot of birthdays soon...can i see a book of your cakes?" so she comes out with a book of polaroids of cakes they've done, and we're flipping through and it's pages and pages of "congratulations latiesha" and "happy anniversary mom and dad" and dinosaur scene and then we get to a beer can (very well done i might add) and then we turn the page and hello dolly!
naked lady cake. naked dude cake.
naked trans-gender cake.

no lie.
the cake had ginormous boobs and a penis that almost reached them. i think chester and i both had to put our eyeballs back into their sockets. it. was. spectacular.

and now i know what kind of cake we're getting the two guys who celebrate their birthdays in april.

i guess it makes sense. I mean, maybe once you have the change, you celebrate that day too? so you have a birthday and a re-birthday?

becky asked what we saw at the bakery and i said "um.....oh! i know. do you watch 'Ugly Betty?'" and she said no.
and i said "ok....do you know who Miss Bunny is?" (i probably shouldn't have used her for an example. i think she's only a transvestite not transgender) and she said 'No'. so then i'm running out of people i thought she may have heard of so i try "alexis arquette'? no again.
i told her i'd explain when her 10 year old son wasn't around.
it really was a spectacular cake. i wish i were friends with alexis arquette just to have someone to get it for. although, there are better reasons to want to be friends with alexis arquette. i think she seems really cool.
