100th post

For my 100th post, I was trying to come up with something special, but nothing came to mind. So here is the adventure of the top of my wedding cake. Here is a picture of the cake on that happy day.

I was looking forward to visiting my parents this spring, because I had heard that the lady that did my cakes had a great way of freezing them, so that they still tasted good a year later.

Well, for some reason, my mother thought it would be a good idea to mail me the top of my cake for our anniversary. So she sent it on Jan 15 by priority mail. Yesterday on Feb. 5 it arrived. Here it is in the box.




This is my attempt to unwrap it.



Lonnie and I just kind of looked at it, but neither one of us was really brave enough to try it. It has probably seen more of the US them me.

So the moral of the story is: don't send a send cake by priority mail.

Boy that's some kind of PRIORITY mail. Two and a half weeks. It's a good thing that it wasn't something urgent that needed to be sent. Way to go USPS. Is it any wonder that FedEx and UPS are doing so well?

Wow...it doesn't even look like it was EVER edible, although I can attest to it being so at one time. They must have sent it via turtle or something to take 2+ weeks.

Awwwww. I'm so sad about your cake. When will the world learn to stop the cake-abuse?
