TODAY

I begin baking a 3 tier cake for our friends. An 8 inch, 10 inch and a 14 inch layers. I baked a decorated a 3 tier 50th wedding anniversary cake for my dear friends. Hard to say no. Got all the small one baked and had one of the 14 inch in the oven when I begin to cool off and I immediately knew what was happening. The connector we have replaced many times was burning out, I smelled something burning earlier, but hoped I would be able to get them all baked before it quit completely. But no it just had to quit on my big one which was 3 cake mixes. So I went to the trailer to see if the stove was working it wasn't. Coy did not hook it up right so he had to do that, we lit it and transferred the cake down there to finish. First I had to measure to see if my pan would fit . Well it finished baking and was so packy I said I need to rebake. So I planned to go to Nancy's when she got home. I told Coy we know what to do let's just fix it, We have plenty of time. So that is what we did. Pulled the stove out, pulled the back off and sure enough that is what was wrong. We got it all fixed and finished my cakes. We took that one and froze it to make a bowl cake with fresh strawberries, vanilla pudding and cool whip. We will have that for Easter. It will be so good.
I hate making messes but that turned out OK, I usually get upset but not this time.
Did not plan on doing any more big cakes but you know how that goes, hard to turn down your friends. It turned out beautiful. The anniversay was a great success. Sharon did not want them to do that. There was food galore and good too. They had a big croud. some friends they had not seen for a long time. Former pastors even came. That made the feel real good.
I will try to do a picture, don't know if I can but if not Nancy can.
Love to do simple ones not big ones anymore a little stressful delivering them. Not doing them.
That has been my day.
God Bless
