Anyone bringing a "church bought" cake to the CVCC picnic? Kathy was sent
this during our recent church bake sale solitication:
*****************************************
Have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love this --
especially all the ladies who bake for church events.
Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale, but
she forgot to do it until the last minute.
She baked an angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the
center had dropped flat.
She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake." So, she
looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake.
Alice found it in the bathroom ... a roll of toilet paper. She
plunked it in and covered it with icing. The finished product looked
beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.
Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some money and
specific instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened, and
to buy that cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had already
been sold. Alice was beside herself.
The next day, Alice was invited to a friend's home where two tables of
bridge were to be played that afternoon. After the game, a fancy lunch
was served, and to top it off, the cake in question was presented for
dessert.
When Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush into
the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before she could get
to her feet, one of the other ladies said, "What a beautiful cake!"
Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a
prominent church member) say, "Thank you, I baked it myself."
