Mother's Day Cake

I was busy all weekend baking and decorating cakes for my Mom, and a few of the women I wanted to honor as great mothers. The cake I made was a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate butter cream filling and covered with fondant, in the shape of a box of chocolate. I filled the "box" (round and heart shaped) with different types of chocolate. They came out pretty good. My Mom did not want to cut hers' (I believe as I write it's on a bus with her to Marathon Key). I'll post a picture of it later in this blog.

Well, I read an unknown author's quote today and thought of how much I "act like" my Mom...the quote goes like this:

"Children are natural mimics-they act like their parents in spite of every effort to teach them good manners."

We love to share silly jokes, so the week she was in Las Vegas I missed her so much, because she was too busy having fun for me to reach her to share anything. That week, I did not listen to a particular radio program just because I knew my Mom was not sitting at work waiting for me to give her a call or her calling me. It's her passion for baking and cooking I got. She was always trying something new like me, but with her fruit cakes, the recipe almost never changed - she bakes the best fruit cake on this side of the galaxy.

I love her so much and Mommy, Happy Mother's Day. Yeah, I know it was on last Sunday, but now you know...

Walk good.
