"The Cake Shop" was just opening when four customers came rushing in, asking for cakes that they needed that night! They all filled out forms with their names, what kind of cake, what size, and the occasion it was for. They all rushed in and out, desperately trying to finish organizing and setting up for their parties. Joe, who was working that shift, accidentally put the orders in the paper shredder along with the old orders from the day before! He can only remember a few things, but needs to have all of the cakes ready by 3:00! Can you help him sort out the orders?

Really fun! I got it right!
Niiiice teaser! I kept getting distracted with work and needed to start over twice! But it was really fun. I think I'm going to file a formal complaint about these androgynous names in gender based questions though. I know a few boys named Bailey. Overall tho, loads of fun. Thanks!
