Thank you James Bond!

My dad always loved watching the James Bond movies and so I have been watching them too ever since I was little. Well the other day at work we had a custom cake order where the guest wanted poker chips and playing cards recreated(only in vegas!). We have this super cool printer that will print up any picture, in edible ink, onto sugar paper. We can then cut the paper and put it on literally anything. The guest wanted these cards on the cake to look as realistic as possible. So we were planning on pulling up a stock picture of the king, queen, 9 and 8 of hearts off of the computer. Well the guest saw the cards and didn't want the outside border line showing on the cards.

My boss was at a loss as to what to do. Then I remembered that James Bond plays baccarat. And because in the movies they always showed his hand of cards I remembered that baccarat cards don't have a line border. The only reason I remembered that was because I always thought that it was weird. Anyway I mentioned to my boss to look up a baccarat deck and........tada.


I was thought of a being brilliant, thanks only to James Bond.
