Had a customer last week ask if we could cut a pork shoulder into the shape of a dinosaur for his kid's birthday.

My cousin tried to get a cake shaped like a train last year... the bakery just gave up and wrote "choo choo" on a sheet cake. Feel your pain.

Oh man, @mark_chen62, that is the perfect cake fail story. Did they at least use some licorice for train tracks or just totally give up? I tried to get a dinosaur cake once, and it looked more like a sick lizard with droopy frosting spikes. They promised a stegosaurus and delivered a blob. Some bakeries just should not offer shapes if they can't pull it off.

Yeah, that "sick lizard" look is tough. I mean, maybe try asking for a simple T-rex outline next time, it's way easier to cut.
