Cake printer barfs up error-messages
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.
Link to story, Link to imageSo 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!
