was just thinking back...

I was going through my cousins food porn pics from Italy and for some reason his dessert pictures made me take a stroll down memory lane. Okay, so my sister was paired up with another girl from youth group at church for a bake sale. They were supposed to make a cake and then the congregation would bid on it and the highest bidder would get the cake. So, me being the pesky little kid that I was, I wanted to be a part of the cake making process. You know, right smack in the middle of it all. I remember them making a strawberry cake and it had PINK frosting... and then the bonus DECOR was that they put those little cinnamon redhots all OVER it. Now I didn't care for strawberry cake, but I LOVED those little redhots (p.s. yuck - cinnamon and strawberry)!!! So once all the baking and decorating was complete and my sisters friend from church was LONG gone, I snuck back into the kitchen and I picked off some of those redhots and used my finger to cover my tracks in the icing! I thought FOR SURE that I was good to go and no one would notice. So Sunday morning rolls around and my sister goes in to get her b-e-a-u-tiful cake and somehow its missing A LOT OF redhots (oops!)... haha. I got in a little bit of trouble and we had to go to the grocery store to pick up more redhots to replace the ones I had eaten off the cake (oh yeah the new redhots were not the same color of red as the ones originally on the cake ha). Good friends of the family ended up bidding on my sisters cake (only good friends would do this because who would want to eat strawberry and cinnamon). So the moral of the story? Well, its to not MIX strawberry and cinnamon, cause kids... they don't go together for cake purposes (of course)!!!
