Young Maple Leafs Fan Heartbroken After He Gets Birthday Cake With Meat Company Logo

One young Canadian hockey fan received an unwelcome birthday surprise when it came time to blow out the candles.

Tania Lévesque ordered a cake from a suburban Montreal bakery for her eight-year-old stepson Jacob and asked for it to include the logo of his favorite hockey team, as she has for the past three years now. When the bakery said it didn’t have a Maple Leafs logo on hand, Lévesque’s husband Mathieu Betrand told them to just Google it. Big mistake. That’s how Jacob ended up with a birthday cake covered by the logo of Maple Leaf Foods, a company that makes packaged meats.
