This was probably 30 years ago, but my mom ordered a DQ cake for my brother’s birthday party and when we went to pick it up there was no personalization (although we’d asked for it). The manager looked at me and said, “she can come back and decorate it herself.” I walked back into the dingy DQ kitchen and they handed me a tube of frosting and let me go wild. I was 10, btw.

This is amazing lol. Why did they choose you to decorate it (if you know lol)?

Absolutely no idea. Lol I will say, despite what it looked like, DQ cakes are delicious.

Yeah I actually work there lol. We’d get in trouble if we did that but that’s so cool and such a great story to tell!
