I don't really care whether the waiters sing or not. But as far as I
am concerned they could present a fake cake (plaster or something)
because I prefer the regular desserts. Now if they had a cake that
was different (like this one

Renaissance Harborplace in Baltimore did for my mom's birthday, it
might be worth actually eating.
