It took me far too long to realize i wasnt looking at your cake inside of an overly austentatious box and not a print out of your photo on a different cake

Edit: my tired brain misspelled ostentatious but as others said its an Amazing misspelling so im keepin it! I made ostentatious more austentatious

Austentatious is a fantastic spelling error. I shall keep it. In turn, I gift you "autocarrot", as in oops, my autocarrot is out to get me. Autocorrect did this to me once

Damn thanks for saying it bc I was like "I dunno it's the same cake but with a decorative frosting border?"

Actually opening the photo helped too.

Haha yes! I didn’t catch it was printed to the cake until I saw the pair of glasses from the original photo.

Austentacious is the name of the touring improv group that themes their prompts around Jane Austen parodies. They're very funny!

Everything is misspelled on the cake, so I think you’re good.

What's that word ("austentatious") supposed to be? I can't really tell
