When I agreed to pick up a cake, 00I had thought00 it was a 0020 minute (Is it missing an S?I was told not to use the plural when it functions as an adjective, a five minute break) 00 job including the travel 00time, tops00.02br

00There 00were00 blueberry cake with chocolate truffle filling, vanilla iced00;[Must I use a comma?I thought semicolon helped to avoid confusion in a list that contains commas (in this case, there's a comma between filling and vanilla iced)00 tiramisu with chocolate 00shavings, key lime00 torte dipped in truffle chocolate, just to name a few. After 20 minutes of dilemma, we bought the 00key lime00 torte because I00 loved keylimes (Must I use the plural? I would like to say I love keylime flavor, can't I use the singular?)00. One the way home, we got involved in a traffic accident. We weren't 00injured but00 the cake wasn't that lucky.02br
