Very similar to land wars in Asia and coping with your in-laws, ordering a cake is all about retaining sure info to your self.
You do not leak state secrets and techniques, you do not say you hated final Sunday’s casserole, and also you by no means, EVER, inform a baker what measurement to put in writing the 75:

The Mexican flag.
(The inexperienced pitchforks, not a lot.)
Because of Sarah M., Morgan W., Mary P., Sandra G., & Mar O., who Sauron what I did there with the title.
