Scott Maxwell: $10,000 for girl's cake is latest proof that the system's broken - OrlandoSentinel.com Scott Maxwell TAKING NAMES

9:23 p.m. EST, February 1, 2011

It was the kind of story you couldn't make up. A woman walked into a county fair and decided to buy a little girl's chocolate cake ? for $10,000. Only, this wasn't just any woman. Nor was it just any little girl.

The buyer works for one of the biggest agribusinesses in America: a fertilizer giant called The Mosaic Co. And the child is the daughter of Florida's agriculture commissioner, Adam Putnam.....corporate cabana boy

Well what the hell did you expect. BP is now preparing a similar cake for Rick Scott's eldest daughter, Jordan--a 3-D offshore oil platform with custom formed licorice sticks and an working chocolate pump to emulate oil flow.

Good lord! 😱

I was hoping it was just insane spending for a rich brat's b-day.

There's just something about fertilizer and chocolate cake mixed in the same paragraph that makes this sound so unappetizing. :shock:
