My wife gave me a recipe from her mother years ago that their family loves and my wife asks me about three or four times a year to make the cake … just to remember her mom and her childhood.

I just made the cake complete with way too much frosting and I used those pastry bag things to decorate the cake. Being an adult and making a cake with all this cake stuff and frosting always makes me think of my childhood too and in remembering my mom making a cake when I was kid with my younger brothers. We’d fight one another to lick the frosting off the mixing paddles or the spatula or the frosting bag thing. Being alone in the kitchen I licked all the utensils clean before putting them in the sink … OMMM NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!

But being old sucks … now I have a sugar hang over and a headache :(
