Party in a Box

GoCakeGo’s Birthday Package

It wasn’t endearing or funny even the first time.

Yet, still, whenever it’s someone’s birthday, you feel compelled to call up and belt out the infamous “you live in a zoo” rendition of “Happy Birthday” at the top of your lungs.

This year, instead of scaring everyone except your grandmother (she’s deaf), let GoCakeGo.com bestow the greetings.

They’ll start by delivering a gourmet cake in a festive green box to the b-day boy or girl (FedEx’ed overnight to ensure freshness). Choose from a 9-inch double-fudge triple-layer (their signature), white buttercream, carrot, or lemon or raspberry torte. Also included are all the fiesta essentials: candles, napkins, forks, plates, a cake knife, and even confetti.

Then, they’ll put the cherry on top with an online party, delivered via e-mail on the special day. The e-soiree is a collection of birthday greetings from everyone near and dear, compiled by GCG. All you have to do is supply e-mail addresses.

Now, if only someone could stop you from singing your profanity-laced version of “9 to 5” at the office’s holiday karaoke party.
