Perhaps the sound produced by phonetic rendering of the chosen representation of what is usually the word 'cake' is particularly fitting for the entire idea. [-] |

If this stops people from blowing on the cake before serving it, I'm all for it. |
|

I read this a couple of times, and didn't get it. Now I think I have.
I assume there's a digital display embedded in the cake, which is connected to a SIM card.
You give well-wishers the special phone number, then they txt a greeting to you and you can see it displayed within the cake.
If this is the case, hv a bn. If not, hv a bn. |

Therein lies the problem. Bun and bone, in txt speak, are identical. |

I want to like this because it fills a niche, but text speech in general makes me want to bake huge vowel shaped cakes and force feed them to the bleeders 'till they learn to make sense. |
|

more or less, jtp - you explained it better than I could have. |

r all my bns actually bns then? |

I did actually visualise electronic candles that lit up when a message was being displayed but I considered that a little tcky. |
|
| |
[boysparks], I misread "vowel" as "bowel". |
|
| |
and that's how [po] invented LOLcakes. (i don't understands the bones either. cute idea.) |
