Of the following 3 cakes - one is “professionally” done, the other two are my wife’s creation.

Looks good enough for me! :o)

A majority of Americans are right there with ya. Our system of things has made sure that not many people have or will have the opportunity to taste real milk and real cheese or real dairy whipped cream. The imitations are mostly whats available. It still stumps me that real cheese is made and sold in Europe. Their country is much older than ours. Yet, here we can't even take it through customs. It is too dangerous they say. It is to dangerous to the current industry. If folks realized how putrid mass produced cheese is they would abandon it instantly in comparision to real cheese. So it is dangerous to the industry not the public health as the media would like us to believe. Praise God for activists here in the U.S. who are bringing back real cheese and effectively working to get the USDA to loosen the strong hold. The sad part though is most of these good products are priced right out of most people's budget. Done ranting!! I am with the other commenter. I have tried homemade cakes. Mine are just too dry. The last two birthdays here were Betty Crocker cakes. Don’t feel bad, Amy. A majority of Americans are right there with ya.

The next week, he asked how many people had read the chapter. Many of the congregation put up their hands. The pastor smiled, explained that there was no Mark 17, and began his sermon on lying.

Our boys' birthday cake tradition is that they pick the flavor of cake & flavor of frosting and Mama (that's me) takes it from there. Years ago it was box cake mixes and canned frosting, now it's all from scratch. We end up with 'keepers' and 'never agains!' My oldest remembered a pistachio cake from the 'box years' and requested it for a recent birthday. It was a let-down and "not as good as I remembered!" I think they're just not used to the 'chemical' flavors of box cakes and puddings anymore! :) Birthday cakes!

My son said one day, many years ago, "You mean I can't marry you when I grow up!" Eureka and sweet at the same time. Those "boughten" cakes just don't taste as good as ho-made or as a cake mix cake. But I have to admit I like tub icing. Very funny! My son said one day, many years ago, “You mean I can’t marry you when I grow up!” Eureka and sweet at the same time.
