You take the cake
You take the cake
Nellie Flores said she and her sister, Marsy, ordered a cake for the graduation party from the Walmart bakery. When they went to pick it up, the staff told her they had lost the order and did not have a cake ready for her. She was not happy. They told her to pick out any cake they had in the display case and they would give it to her for free. They made their choice and took the cake home to the party. When it came time to cut and serve the cake the ladies realized they had made the wrong choice. The display cake they had chosen was decorated on the outside, but made of Styrofoam on the inside. After the party, they took the display cake back to Walmart and were given a coupon for a free cake and a $60 gift card. Everyone will remember this party.
It was baking day on the farm and the mother asked her ten year old daughter to help. Suzie she said, “Carefully open the oven and check on the coffee cake. Stick a knife in the cake and see if it pulls out clean.” A few minutes later Suzy came back to report, “the knife came out clean, so I stuck all the other dirty knives in there too.”
As a conscientious father, I insisted my family start eating healthy. I bought a continuing supply of rice cakes for snacks, instead of doughnuts. Neither my wife nor my children were enthusiastic about my new hobby. One evening when all the children were supposed to be in bed, I walked in the kitchen to find my youngest son smearing frosting on a rice cake. “What are you doing?” I asked, surprised. “This is how we always eat them,” Ben replied, “Mommy showed us.”
I just burned 2,000 calories in an hour.
That’s the last time I take a nap while baking brownies.
