Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Let Them Eat Cake

September 29, 2011

Those are the infamous words that Marie Antoinette NEVER spoke! Nope, she did not, it was made up – probably by those who really hated her. But, that’s another post.

What I am talking about today is the vast amounts of cake now residing in my house. To start with, I was craving chocolate big time today – yes, it’s probably that time o’ the month when my cravings turn me into a chocolate monster. I search and search the cabinets until I find some…and there was none today. So, I decided to make brownies, but all the recipes took more butter than we had. Luckily I just used my never fail go-to chocolate cake recipe – otherwise known as Wacky Cake. Ah…chocolate!

Not more than 10 minutes after it came out of the oven Mike calls to say that he needs me to pick him up after work. Why? Because he is bringing leftover CAKE home! Um, wow, if I’d seen that coming I wouldn’t have made the Wacky Cake. But hey, that’s more sweet stuff for me :-).

Now, this is also Maggie’s birthday weekend (she will be 11) and guess what we’ll be having? Yep, CAKE..lemon cake with cream cheese frosting to be exact. So, there is not going to be a lack of cake in this house anytime soon. We’ll probably be sick of it come Monday, but at least there is chocolate in the house now. Just have to do something about the lack of coffee…

And lemon cake, eh? I have taught my siblings well.
