Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Hi Folks, A memory popped into my mind which just made me chuckle. At my sister's wedding, it was agreed that my mother would take the top tier of the wedding cake home and put it in her freezer so that my sister and brother-in-law could celebrate with it on their first anniversary. My mother, the greedy and gluttonous woman that she is, gorged herself at the reception which was an incredible buffet. After the reception, she went into the kitchen and packed up all the leftovers so she could take them home for herself (she was living alone at the time). She was balancing a whole pile of doggy bags, including the wedding cake, on her way out to the car. The pile of food was beginning to fall. In order to save *her* food, she let my sister's wedding cake drop. It splattered all over the walkway and was ruined. She then yelled at my sister for making her take the cake! Now if that doesn't take the cake!?! (Pun intended) Patty __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 that is very funny indeed. speaking of cakes, my bpd aunt is famous for her cakes. She puts lights behind frosted sugar walls.....and it was a family tradition that aunty would make the cake...it made potential bride's sweat with anxiety. until I married my husband. I was so happy to be away from them. The cake issue came up and nada wanted me to let aunty make it.But it is very hard to plan a cake when you live 3,000 miles away from the wedding. There would have been a whole lot of slavery involved. Really dysfunctionally scary stuff. The cake scenes in my FOO are legendary, but " worth it " to get the cake. I chose a carrot cake, very very simple. It was very good. A lady from my husband's town who was started a catering business took us as a first client, reasonable and oh so good! Aunty was insulted and nada sniffed when they saw my carrot cake. They almost didn't eat any! OH WELL! Kathleen > Hi Folks, > > A memory popped into my mind which just made me > chuckle.
