so, I don't know if people are still talking about it or not but I will.
I'm pissed.
I left University of Maryland - College Park the second I realized that DC had a cake. My friend and I left for the metro, which is a 30 minute ride to the bakery. At around 3:30 we arrived at the bakery to see a sign on the door saying the cake for "Robin Banks" had already been picked up. Ok, so they spelled the name wrong, no biggie.
Well I decided to walk in and ask the lady at the register when the cake was picked up. She told me the cake was picked up at 2. WHAT!?! Doesn't that seem impossible if it was posted on the viral site at 2 that there would be a cake at this location.
I walked out to talk to my friend and we decided to ask for details about what happened to the cake.
She told me that someone called her to put up a sign at 2 saying the cake was picked up. So I asked her, does that mean the cake is still here. She replied by saying no, it is no longer here. She described what the cake looked like, whatever that proved. And then a few minutes later told me that she was the one that delivered the cake. That was her closing. So my assumption is that the people that worked there decided to horde the cake assuming it was worth something. She did not mention at all people coming to ask about the cake.
I wasted 3 hours of my time to go get a cake that was basically impossible for me to get.
I am calling bull****!
