Cake printer barfs up error-messages

Wegman's bakery received an online order for a cake with a message in Italian and English, but couldn't process the accent characters in the Italian passage — instead, the printer barfed out a ton of error messages in angle-brackets.

So apparently you can email an order to the Wegman's bakery for cakes, etc… including what message you want on the cake.

The cake below was supposed to be a mix of English and Italian, but the staff apparently knew no Italian. The problem? Wegman's email system also apparently did not recognize some of the proprietary Microsoft HTML extensions!
