Cake Anyone? :))


--by mish, posted Apr 19, 2020
🎂 Sunday is my husband’s birthday. I wanted to surprise him with a birthday cake, but since we are “sheltering at home” I can’t go out to the bakery. So I just thought it would be a nice surprise for him and “lighten” what’s going on with all the pandemic concern going on around us.

I texted my neighbor and asked her if she might be able to pick one up for me, but only if she went shopping for herself before Sunday, not to make a special trip for it. (She is younger than the 70 and over mandated shelter-at-home folk and does go out to shop.)

This was her reply: “Of course! He must have a cake 🎂”

When I mentioned about the possibility bakery might be closed due to city virus regulations, she replied: “If not be sure I’ll bake him one 🎂”

Good neighbors? Ours are THE BEST 😇

In case you are wondering why I just don’t bake him a cake, lol, I don’t have the needed ingredients or cake pan, etc. 🥴
