Here’s one all hockey parents can relate to!
A Quebec family is laughing off an error by their local bakery that marred their son’s eighth birthday celebration last weekend. They had requested a cake with the Toronto Maple Leafs logo for Jacob, a diehard Leafs fan — just like the cake he’d received for previous birthdays.
Jacob’s stepmother, Tania Lévesque, said the bakery told her it didn’t have a Maple Leafs template on hand, so she suggested doing a Google search for an image that could be reproduced with icing.
So, Jacob’s father, Mathieu, picked up the cake from the bakery on the way to a Montreal hockey arena for his son’s party Saturday. To his surprise, instead of the NHL team’s logo, atop the cake was the logo for Maple Leaf Foods.
With no time to find a new cake, they continued on to the party. Tania said: “They don’t know anything about cold cuts…” and Jacob gave it a thumbs down and refused to eat the cold-cut-themed cake.
Maple Leaf Foods said on yesterday it would send the family to a Maple Leafs game. Not only will Jacob see his favourite team play in person for the first time next month, it will also be his first time seeing Toronto.
Go Leafs go eh Jacob!
