continuity issues in the AtS props team!

deird1The fiance and I are slowly making our way through Buffy and Angel - which meant, for once, I was watching Angel with all my attention on the screen, rather than on crochet or work or similar. Which meant that I noticed a continuity error I'd never seen before.
And a rather unexpected one...
Exhibit A:
Note that the cake says "Benji". Which is incorrect, so they have to change it to...
Exhibit B:
Where it says... "Penjy".
Not only have the worried coworkers managed to quickly transform the "B" into a "P", but the cake, wanting to be helpful, has kindly transformed the "i" into a "y"! Wow!
If you look carefully, you'll notice that the flowers have also changed colour. Which means that the production department either
a) hired a cake maker to produce two identical cakes, one with "Benji" and one with "Benjy", and then smudged the "B" on the second one to fit the smudging in the script,
or
b) instilled the cake with morphing powers, using magic.
I prefer option b, to be honest...

Date: 2013-07-18 11:33 pm (UTC)- seasons 1-3 of BtVS
- seasons 4-5 of BtVS and seasons 1-2 of AtS, with the BtVS episodes coming first*
- seasons 6-7 of BtVS and seasons 3-4 of AtS, with the Angel episodes coming first**
- season 5 of AtS
It keeps the whole thing in a fairly logical order, with only one slight crossover snarl.
* So, The Freshman, then City Of..., then Living Conditions.
** So, Weight of the World, then Through the Looking Glass, then The Gift, then There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb, then Heartthrob, then That Vision Thing, then Bargaining Parts 1&2, then That Old Gang of Mine, then After Life.
