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. [-]

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.

Hv a bn anyway [+]
