Good going on making a real cake. I refuse to eat store bought cake. Just...can't...do...it. I'd like to start a movement to banish the cheap and easy catering. All the parties just start blending together. No variety. Used to be when you went to a party it had a special vibe that was unique to that family's viewpoint. You may not like everything, but there was no mistaking they put some thought into it and had distinct preferences. Now kids parties are mostly clones of each other. How sad.

This was great, hilarious, and so true! I'm sending this to my mom. As a matter a fact, I just volunteered to bake for a friend's child so we didn't have to eat store bought cake. Hope I can deliver!
