cake
Mal (my middle daughter) almost made me cry today.
She is turning eleven on Monday. She's having her party tonight. I was up late baking three heart shaped cakes of differing sizes, the largest being 12"-13" at it's widest part, for her birthday.
This morning, when I was trying to get the large cak out of the pan, a 2 1/2" "ring" of heart came out and the center section stayed in the pan, ripping itself out of the cake. I scraped the center section out of the pan and placed it in the middle of the "ring" of cake on the plate.
It looked terrible.
As she was getting ready to head for the bus, I was lathering frosting on it to try to make it presentable.
"I'll try to make it okay," I told her
"I'll be fine no matter what, Daddy, because you made it."
Snif.
