queen of cakes

last night.



I may have said a sarcastic remark while watching the show "Ace of Cakes" for a whole 30 seconds [during commercial breaks from the BCS game]. I may have said something like, "hmmm, I don't remember being sung to [yet] for my birthday & interesting, I don't remember getting even a slice of cake." [even though I do have a promise of a frozen slice for Ang [yum] and did get a cookie with ice cream at lunch yesterday with mom & dad]. was I being slightly ungrateful?! The room went silent. "This weekend right, Pita? You're making my homemade carrot cake without raisins this weekend, right?" [silence]

whatever. off to the shower, I went [or went loudly?!].



I came out to the kitchen to find this:



Peanut making [and sampling] a cake. for me. [this may be a good place to add - she's never done this before. ever [not even with me, (huff)]

there were a couple of noises that were questionable. also a "ahhh man" that worried me a bit. but I stayed sitting. [mostly because I didn't want to see the mess but also because she said if I got up to check she'd "stop". threats? seriously? so thanks for the photos Pita.



Came out of the oven - looking & smelling - a m a z i n g [even though no timer was "set"] ..... "Mom, don't worry. it says just to check it with a toothpick when I think it's ready."
The one thing, I was allowed to do was tip it out of the pan. which resulted in this:




which brought out the Pita's favorite "Tommy Boy" line . . "what'd you dooooo Richard?". nice.

Me: Uhhh peanut did you spray the pan?
Peanut: d a n g it.
Me: get a fork!



awesome. crazy good. 100% thoughtful. beyond totally edible. fabulous "magical cake". the best birthday cake yet.
