What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Griffin Daily News reports that a baker has created a lifelike cake of the Princess of Wales, and I say this with the gravity it deserves.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA cake. Of the princess.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLifelike, Hank. I have stood in rooms with the real thing, and I would want to check the paperwork on this one.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI've covered two royal weddings, and nobody ever asked me to bow to the dessert table.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou would bow, because protocol says nobody touches it until the baker has been properly thanked.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo who cuts it?
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI was once escorted out of a palace for asking that exact question, so I will leave it to braver people.
