CD Members !
The office that i am currently working is celebrating the 20th. anniversary of inception on Aug. 28th (Monday). Though the owner is a very stingy person, Some desi's and chinese in our office want to impress him by organising a pot luck (not known to the Owner and his associate). They want to decorate the office on sunday night and then come early on monday morning and surprise the owner and his associate.
Every one is bringing a dish / wine etc... I told them that i will buy a Cake for the occasion.
Now my question is where can i order a Cake with the words of "Happy 20th Anniversary" written on it. I am looking for a low cost but big cake.
As far as i know, COSTCO has the cheapest made to order (through a catalouge) cakes but my membership is expired.
Can CD members suggest me a place to buy a very low cost but big cake for the occassion?
The location can be in Mississauga, North York, Etobicoke but NOT Scarborough.
All answers appriciated.
If answers are not satisfactory/ to my satisfaction, I shall order and buy in Loblaws.

Hi TK;
Is this not the same job and boss who is sucking your blood at 11 $ or so an hour (may be 11.50 now) since few years? I admire your attitude. With mostly desis and Chinese hired by this guy, it makes sense how stingy this boss could be. I have gone thru' same for 3-4 months. My boss even tried to extract money from me in one case. He also used to get cheapest but biggest pizza of the town when we were working extra hours and never allowed overtime. He was always looking for newly immigrated desis and Chinese to give them Canadian Experience. He was even paid by a government funded program to do that 'favor'. He never spent money on our food when on tour; not even the travel time was allowed.
Well, ‘very low cost’ and ‘cheap’ (you probably have used this word numerous times; I will suggest use ‘Inexpensive’ word instead, looks better) and big.....what ingredients you are looking for. To get a bigger one with normal ingredients is not easy unless you want to try making one at home, the results may not be that good. I hope your boss also is not looking for that best quality and taste.

A friend with a COSTCO card could be second best idea.

Ben,
Thanks for remembering me and also saying that some really suffer in Canada.
Yes. our Boss looks at mainly immigrant people to staff his office so that he can pay them very less and also treat them as Slaves, Robots and garbage pickers. And it was a Desi guy in our office who brought the idea of a pot luck. He told this to the only (Canadian) receptionist in our office and the idea got on.
Actually a family member in our house can bake and ice a cake but since we are hard pressed for time, we thought that we can buy it.
And speaking of Chamcha's there was Bulgarian lady Architect in our office who liked to Chamcha that Boss by praising him, pooling to give gifts etc... She is no longer in our office. But she also used to curse him (not in front of the boss but to us) when ever our Boss acted stinglyly / foolishly / childishly.

Mainnote : And Ben, I will use the term "Inexpensive" from now on rather than Low cost, Cheap etc.... Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Topic note : To adhere to the Topic, Till now i have not yet decided an inexpensive and near place to buy a Cake. Some suggestions have been COSTCO and SAM's club.
