Let Them Eat Cake…

We have these friends that have the uncanny ability to drag me away from my computer.  No easy task, I will tell you.

But, they do it.  How? I will get an email that says something like…. “I made cake today”.

Yes, I am easy.  I admit it.

But last night was the best effort yet.  Not only was the cake making stated in the email…there were images,  yes…food porn in the worst way…Several angles of the most incredible looking Plum Cake that you can imagine.  This is the second time this week that they have fed us cake and coffee.

I know, I know..it is tough but someone has to do it, you know?

I have a brilliant and creative mind, right? So when we went this morning I took a dozen eggs and some raw goat’s milk.  I figured that with the extra ingredients they could  make more cake.

When I saw this cake, any thoughts I had of the Atkins low carb diet went flying from my mind.  Yeah..I had been kicking around the idea to give Marc a thinner version of his wife for Christmas.  Really, he should just be happy with what he has…Besides, skinny is so..over-rated, right? Right?

Although Andrea assures me that this is GERMAN cake and they make it with GERMAN ingredients therefore it will not make me fat, well I am not sure. Honestly, once you see this cake you don’t really care!

Pat creates these cakes under the exacting supervision of his wife…Andrea says after so many years in the military this is his therapy.  I am thinking of sending Marc over there to receive therapy as well.  I have a hunch that we would find them in the back yard, throwing eggs up in the air and shooting them down… “Pull!”  “Pull!”  “Pull!”

Anyway..there just isn’t a better way to begin a morning that great conversation, coffee, and plum cake…

And IF they send me the recipe I will be sure to post it. 

Don’t forget to think pink! The Boobie Bake-Off is in full swing…  You have until October 15th to get your entry posted! Be sure to email me when you have it posted. maryeaudetATgmailDOTcom (@ and . for the words)
