THE GOLF CART CHRONICLES kind Golf Cart Cake with all of the elaborate features Buddy possesses. I gave the cake maker guy a framed photo of Buddy to use when designing the four hundred and fifty dollar edible monument.

Spending this kind of money meant cutting down on my personal expenses. It will depend on how many new designer shoes go on sale this month. After all, my lifestyle demands new stuff once in a monthly blue moon.
I’ m thinking this cake baby on 4 wheels is costing me a lot of money so it better be exceedingly self-indulgent. Hopefully, there will be no self-control when my spouse and our guests dig in and devour Buddy the imitation.
Yea! It is the anniversary surprise celebration day. Genuine Buddy is parked in the driveway looking pretty spiffy. He is adorned with blue and white balloons and silver streamers. The guests have arrived and Bert will be here in one hour. He is at the barbershop getting his usual monthly haircut.
But, where the hell is the glorious reproduction Buddy cake? Just then a big forklift truck pulls up to our driveway. OMG, it’ s a full-size replica cake of Buddy sitting on a beautifully carved powder blue platform. The wheels are covered in baby blue glitter, and sitting in the driver’ s seat was a life-size replica of Bert.
It was perfect timing for a fabulous VIP red carpet arrival. Bert was standing there in front of the twin Buddy Golf Carts with his mouth hanging down to the glitter covered driveway. Even a selfie would not do justice to this exhibition.
It was amazing and worth every single dollar and then some just to see my proud partner so happy. That was the good part.
Here is the ending of my story. Can you believe anyone( including Bert) did not get to devour any part of his copy golf cart cake? Why?
Because my entitled husband insisted“ you can’ t eat a golf cart, especially this one. It is just too good to eat. This masterpiece is
a keeper.” Bert named his new impostor twin Buddy Boy. It was encased in a hemispherical dome for display purposes and to protect Buddy Boy from harm. A prestigious country golf club has it on view in their main lobby area.
Oh yes, I did tell Bert the sample piece of taster cake, when ordering Buddy Boy from the cake maker guy was decadent. Whoops, did I just put the cart before the horse?
