Here's my even funnier story on this topic. A good friend of mine was having her 40th birthday a bunch of years ago, and we threw her a surprise party and I volunteered to bring the cake to the party. I went to the store in person to place my order, and I asked them to write Happy Birthday to my friend, and I asked them to put a few musical notes on the cake, too. The woman understood what I wanted and she wrote on the ticket "with musical notes". Well, when I went to pick up the cake at the store, they had a nice sprinkling of eighth notes, all right. And, below the words Happy Birthday were the words With Musical Notes. I cracked up, and it was the hit of the party. So when the same friend had her 50th, we had With Musical Notes put on the cake on purpose, which she enjoyed. And I was doing something similar with this cake, but they can't deal with the actual "musical notes"! So I just have to settle for the words. But it's a surprise, so don't say anything to any of my friends for a few days.
