Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker compares their shirt to a crazy birthday cake and demands to know why they were not warned. The extravagant comparison turns an outfit into something absurdly decorative. The complaint adds a second joke by making someone else answer for the speaker's embarrassing appearance.
