- Contact the bakery, only to find out their batter is made in a facility that handles nuts.
- Cancel the cake order.
- Order a new cake from a specialty bakery that accommodates the allergies. It’s a bit pricier, but worth it for Jamie’s inclusion.

- Receive a “no” RSVP from a friend who has another commitment—oh, how you wished to join her at the sing-along!
- More “no” responses trickle in; you sigh at the missed opportunity.
