Marzipan Pubes - The day I rocked Twitter with a picture of a cake.

Sundays normally see me going to the pub like most for a few beers and the football on Sky Sports.
Today ended up being a bit different though as a friend  had called asking if me and someone else could go and rescue him for a while at a baby shower in a pub we wouldn't normally go to. The first thing I found a bit odd was someone having a baby shower in a pub? Isn't that something you ladies do at home? The second thing I thought odd was my mate was there. Making a mental note to rpi the piss out of him at a later date we were more that happy to oblige. We went along and walked straight into the pub and quite frankly the worst cake I've ever seen in my life.

As soon as I walked in I noticed what can only be described as the most bizarre looking cake I've ever seen. Straight away I thought to myself I really need to get a picture of that to share with others as not only did I find it hilarious it also disturbed me a bit that someone thought that was actually a good idea? Don't get me wrong I'm sure it tasted very nice but who the hell came up with that?
So I managed to take a few pics of it on the sly (remember I don't actually know the people who are having this baby shower) and immediately posted one on twitter saying:

Just stumbled into a baby shower when walking in the pub. This is a 100% real picture I've just taken of the cake...

And that is when it all went a bit mental on my Android.

I've been getting tweets and retweets from people that have found that picture either funny, disgusting or they are just baffled that anyone would think that a good idea and not in bad taste at all. I'm really not a prude (as people that follow me on Twitter know) but something about that cake just made me cringe.

I had to turn the alerts system on my phone to off in the end as it was beeping every second with people messaging me. It's still going now. People from all over the world are seeing this picture and sharing it. And then the people they share it with are sharing it and it doesn't seem to be stopping even now this evening. I also seemed to be trending for a while on UK Twitter which to be honest was bloody terrifying. As of me typing this that picture was coming up to 900 retweets.

I'll end by saying one of my favourite comments from someone so far has been - 

That cake isn't that realistic. The NHS would never allow you that many pillows.

Brilliant.
