YA'LLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! The point is serving cake on THE STACKED PLATES! I learned it here on the forum from you!!!! You can have one in 5 minutes (cake not included) if you have the plates, candle holders, skinny vases. Ya'll saw chocolate and forgot how we can live larger for less. We are blessed. Our guests will think we are THE ACE OF CAKES if we use our stacked plates this way. Am I standing here with toilet paper stuck to my shoe again????? Have ya'll been making cakes forever and stacking them on the stacked plates????? OMG (grimmiced the newbie who just fell off the turnip truck). OK-OK-OK "Let them eat cake!" I'll just go off somewhere and invent the wheel. What's that you say??? Been there, done that????? LOLOLOLOL That's a good one! I never heard that before. Yuk Yuk Yuk susie

I'm so glad he liked it. I enjoy baking and have made a batch of Toll House cookies every week for the last 25 years. lol Oh my gosh our anniversary is next month. Guess I better get busy and plan something special. DH loves anything lemon so I try and make a lemon meringue pie when we are invited somewhere, so he'll have something for desert he'll like. He complains that he only gets one piece though! I took one to my aunt's for Christmas once, my cousin called about an hour after we left to tell DH that he'd just finished the pie and it was sooo good! DH was fit to be tied. I did make him another the next day. Linda thanks for reminding me about hollowing out the cake and adding strawberries and whipped cream I'd forgotten all about that one. Marion

OMom...thank you. I agree for a Mother's Day Cake, it would be just beautiful. Check out the YouTube link I sent in another post. LOL Karen...with cake, especiall if it's MY favorite, I could eat the whole cake too! You're right there are many of us here who could make this. I've posted another link to see just how to do one. ALL I need is the Flowers...I'm not as fortunate as some here with such beautiful gardens to just 'pick' their cake flowers! lol jeanne...thanks, it was a really nice day. Gdson is growing so fast he's already over my head..and with his voice already changing...pretty soon he won't want to 'hang out' with his DGF and me, so anytime he's with us, we treasure. Frou..thank you.. This was the first time I saw this too. It's a great idea. Again, look at the link I sent on 'How To' make one yourself. I think it looks pretty easy. jane

Thank you everyone! I love the cooking forum and cooking itself (you should have seen lunch today: roast beef with onions and baby carrots, instant mashed potatoes and gravy, YUM! Mom did that meal as usual. She cooked the roast, onions and potatoes in the crock pot) but one of my other passions, gardening, is starting to gear up for the year though I devote my time to each. You may remember that I got the novel "Fried Green Tomatoes At The Whistle Stop Cafe" for my birthday too. I can't wait to try some of those recipes! You all know how fond I am of fried green tomatoes :). It seems I've activated everyone's sweet tooth lol. I did have a wonderful birthday (I'll remember it for a long,long time). Thank you everyone!
