I decided that I want a piece of a cake. Not just any cake. I want square cake.

But I’d never eat an entire cake by myself. I just want one piece. I am meeting friends out tonight for drinks so I’ve hit upon an idea. I’m going to make a cake and bring it to the bar with the explanation that it’s someone’s birthday. That way I get my piece of cake and there won’t be any leftovers.

It occurred to me that I should make it more believable so I’m going to write, “Happy Birthday, {person’s name}!” on the cake. Only, it isn’t anyone’s birthday. So I’m going to just pick one of the women and we’ll just say it is her birthday.

Only, I’m not going to tell her. It’ll be like a surprise birthday…cake. Something like that. And if she doesn’t want it, I’ll eat her piece.

It’s sort of brilliant, when you think about it.
