No, I don't expect to know this.

As a former wedding photographer twice I saw / knew the wedding cakes were home baked. But that is because in both cases they were a wedding gift from a guest and in both cases they were absolutely gorgeous (I knew because the couples wanted to make sure I got lots of photos).

Just.dont.eat.it.

Gobble up Larla's cake.
Then next day she has posted photos of her cats sitting on counter next to cake. Licking frosting bowls.

What? No. Why would I be "entitled" to any such thing?

I had a couple of bar and restaurant jobs during college:

1) McDonald's (cleaning after they closed, I lasted 4 days)--discovered that they are designed so if you are a customer you can't see the chocolate syrup that leaked all over the floor and got tracked everywhere.
2) Small independent restaurant. Health inspectors had a bunch of corrections. I was washing dishes while someone was varnishing a shelf directly above the sink (place did not have a machine) and one of the cooks was standing on half the grill cleaning the hood while the other cook was frying burgers on the other half.
3) Bar back in a hotel bar that was a major tourist spot. Pest control came in at the height of a Saturday night. We were frantically covering the glassware (behind the bar, people couldn't see us) and the margarita pitchers we were mixing while they sprayed for cockroaches (hotel was a few hundred years old and so were the cockroaches--while I worked there they discovered a cellar room nobody even knew existed).

The professional baker could have sneezed all over the cake. You never know.

These people are not rational.

Sometimes I wonder how germophobes get through the day. Were you also the same people yelling at those unmasked outside during covid?

Or the ones with "severe allergies"
If it is so bad you probably shouldn't trust food outside your home at all.

Yup. We have a niece with Celiac, if she's not sure she doesn't eat it. Not that she would be eating cake, I'm just saying that she's very careful.

Why?

No way
