Well, two of the platters we ordered were desserts, and there were cookies, brownies - and slices of cake on it. But there was to be no damned "birthday cake" with a foot of frosting and candles. And there wasn't. I can't stand frosting in particular and sweets in general but I did have one piece of plain cake just to be a good host.
I threatened the crowd with a loaded Super Soaker for the first miscreant who started singing "Hap..." Luckily, I did not have to employ that weapon.
