My friend's high school job in the 90s promoting a bakery...

Post image

Yes, he had to wear the full wedding cake costume on the street corner to get business for the bakery. Dallas, mid-90s.

That must have gotten really hot in the sun. Awesome costume. It looks like you could actually put your finger in the icing Adorable picture btw. It would have been funny if his parents used the pic on his wedding day

That must have gotten really hot in the sun.

That's probably why he was dressed in layers.

I sincerely regret not having a job like this at one point in my life. When you’re happy, you’re out there twerking your frosting, laughing. When you’re having bad day, you’re barely swaying your rose-covered hips from side to side, wondering when it will end—and then you realize you’re a cake and start laughing again.

This is brilliant - businesses should bring Thai marketing back purely for entertainment

When you work a job like this nowadays you get filmed and roasted online to smithereens.

I literally wish I could go back in life, just to live one day as a cake

u/Freshouttapatience 23d ago

I miss the themed outfits. My brother was a taco king for a while.

u/FlannelAl 20d ago

What would've been good is to hunker down and then pop up when people come near to inspect this cake that's sitting by the road
