… there is always time for Photoshop. And then I won't be stuck with a whole cake in my house screaming in the middle of the night, waking me up and forcing me to consume it like I am in some Ambien-induced sleepwalking binge coma.
Oh, sorry about that. I got off topic.
Our charge this week was to celebrate MCMM's 1st blogaversary by baking a cake, preferably with our kids. Yeh, well that was not going to happen around here this weekend. Not with all soccer all the time Danny. I am sure sweet Jana would have jumped right in but she has a hard time licking the spoon all the way from Wisconsin (not that she wouldn't give it her best shot).
So instead, I jumped in with a little Photoshop magic. The sentiment is the same.
This got me to thinking how I miss the days when they were little and they loved to bake with me (but not the mess or the fight over who got to crack the eggs). And the nights when Jana's friends would come here for movie and baking night when they were fed up with the boring suburban scene. How I loved all those girls around my kitchen table. (girls if you are reading please come bake here when you are home for Thankgiving and make a IRB-deprived mom happy). Even Danny's friends went through a major baking phase. They have a cult-like affinity for Funfetti cakes.
Enough nostalgia, I am sure my black and white kitchen floor still has a few messy, teen-inspired baking days in its future.
Congrats to my fellow MCMM bloggers. I am late to this party but will never miss out on a chance to serve up the cake.
Oh, I stock up on Funfetti around here! Happy Birthday to your blog!

Love the virtual cake!! It looks delicious. Can you believe it's been a whole year? I feel like we've been eating cake together forever, and yet the time flies.

Oh, now that's creative! Me, I'll be organizing an emergency cake-bake this evening, because when I had FIVE teens and twenty-somethings over for dinner on Monday?
I FORGOT.
Oh, the lost photo ops! Damn. Can you tell I'm pushing 50? *sigh*

Too funny. My high school freshmen (2) and the 8th grader had two friends over last night and they all made a Funfetti cake. It's their 3rd this month. It's loud, it's messy but much more fun than having them flop in front of the TV all night.
