“We sat there staring at each other, drinking Coronas and hovering over the cake, waiting to light the candle. Surprise parties are like that, but it felt bizarre waiting in front of the computer for someone to join chat instead of walking in the room”
Photo: courtesy of Shanika Gunaratna Last Wednesday, when having a gathering in person still seemed remotely conceivable, Shanika Gunaratna already felt like the only responsible move was to cancel her 31st birthday celebration.
Molly Greenberg: We got a text from Karen saying Shanika wanted to cancel. And so we were all like, uh, you know … we already made the cake. Christina: Allie made this beautiful applesauce cake because Shanika only likes cakes that are fruit-heavy. It was like this fucking expertly decorated cake. Allie used a turntable to frost it, you know.Christina: It was beautiful! And it just felt like we had to convey somehow to Shanika that this whole plan had been orchestrated. We were so invested at that point.
Molly: Then we just kind of sat there staring at each other waiting for her, drinking Coronas and hovering over the cake, waiting to light the candle. Surprise parties are like that anyway, but it just felt bizarre waiting in front of the computer for someone to join chat instead of walking in the room. It was weird. I lit the candles.
