(Yes, I was the obsessive-compulsive my-child-is-turning-1-let's-invite-the -neighborhood type.)<BR/><BR/>Note that I used the word "was". <BR/><BR/>The cake that I made for Stephen's 1st was a fancy, frozen DQ cake rip-off. However, I did not take into account that it was too wide to fit into our freezer. What to do? I know! I thought, I’ll plug in our old freezer that was being stored in our garage and voila! We’d be good to go.<BR/><BR/>What I didn’t realize (silly me) is that a freezer doesn’t freeze when it’s been sitting there unplugged. It takes time to reach a freezing temperature!

I think I forgot to grease the pan. Just came up with a funny speech and all was well. :)<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday to your very sweet daughter.love2learnmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548471887979257624noreply@blogger.com
