Title: Error Message Cakes

[/h3][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"][h3] Cake printer barfs up error-messages         [/h3](//image/errormessageoncake.jpg)
Wegman's bakery received an online order for a cake with a message in Italian and English, but couldn't process the accent characters in the Italian passage -- instead, the printer barfed out a ton of error messages in angle-brackets. [blockquote]"So apparently you can email an order to the Wegman's bakery for cakes, etc... including what message you want on the cake. The cake below was supposed to be a mix of English and Italian, but the staff apparently knew no Italian. The problem? Wegman's email system also apparently did not recognize some of the proprietary Microsoft HTML extensions!"
