Sam Houston High Band Boosters had a BBQ and bake sale today. I made this cake for the fund raiser. The Gum Drop Cake was my very favorite childhood birthday cake. I might have been five or six years old when Mom made it. I thought the gum drops looked like jewels on a princess crown. My birthday is coming up in a couple weeks, and I felt nostalgic. Good thing I didn’t aspire to be a professional cake decorator. I’m terrible! Icing oozed down the sides before I even got it to the school this morning. I’d be surprised if anyone buys it!
Eric and Andrew left on an overnight trip with their youth group yesterday afternoon for a Christian rock concert in Beaumont called Hot Hearts. Sounds quite Valentiney, but it’s only January. Without kids for the night, Bob and I enjoyed an evening out. We ate dinner at my favorite Lake Charles restaurant, DeAngelo’s. And their special was my favorite fish – grouper. So good.
What are some of your favorites?

I think the cake is beautiful! Might have to try that for Alex some day...if she'll ever agree to give up the Thomas (the tank engine) cake!

Sound of the garage door opening to signal my relief is home from work
A good crying movie, like "UP"
Ah, the sound of the garage door. Know and love it well.
Beautiful cake! Haha, I was just looking up rainbow cake and now I'm hungry. Yum.
