cake

You've seen DIY droids of all shapes and kinds, you've seen cakes made in their likeness, but we're betting you haven't seen one that's both edible AND contains its own projector!

Lisa Sarber Aldrich went to her local grocery store to get a birthday cake with a personal message. The cake didn't turn out as well as expected, but Aldrich had the chance to make someone's day much better simply by being polite and kind to the person who had helped her. She shared the story below with the image of the cake on Facebook and the feel-good post now has over 90,000 shares.

Picked out a cake at Meijer. Asked bakery-looking-employee if she could write on it for me. She said she would, and after a long time, she came and presented me with this cake. I looked her In the eye and said thank you before I even looked at the cake. After looking, I nervously laughed and headed to check out- it didn't really matter to me that it looked so bad- I thought people would think it was funny. The cashiers at the self check out didn't think it was so funny though, and called a few more cashiers and a manager over to look, even taking pictures. To my surprise, after they discussed it, one cashier put her arm on my shoulder and said "the girl who wrote that has Autism. Thank you for smiling and thanking her- even though she's not supposed to write on cakes, you probably made her day."
So I guess the moral of the story is that kindness is important!

Yes, we've featured more than a few Portal-related goodies in the past - we could fill a book with cakes alone - but the ingenuity of this one really got me. Check out more cool pics in the via link!

The little spherical droid that could is already being immortalized in confectionary form from the folks over at Cake Rush. No word on whether or not you need a knife with a crossguard to cut that cake though.
