Template:Itemheader This is a cake upon which a genuine gnollish craftsman has lovingly emblazoned “Happy Birthday, (your name here)!” in scrumptious chocolate frosting. Magic chocolate frosting, in fact, that figures out the name of the person looking at it and replaces the name with their name. Normally gnollish craftsmen just invent small contraptions that roll across your polished hardwood floor, so consider yourself lucky.
