That ONE TIME I went viral ... circa 2009

In another era, I caked for a check.

One day, I get a call from some dude; he orders a gamer cake, "for a friend." Being a pathological obliger, I dutifully agree before considering all the trademarks I'd infringe in the offing ... then spend days fretting, fidgeting, and fussing.

In the end, I 'noided myself into GIFTING this cake, having been roiled over the years by tales of Disney-level litigation leading to ruin, heartbreak, and moneyruptcy for small-time decorators. Of which I am one. 

Here's the cake, tho!, that ended up spanning the globe, at least tens of dozens of languages, and endless over-my-shoulder-looking: https://kotaku.com/this-left-4-dead-birthday-cake-looks-infected-5168326
