Lots of Cake


Our last charter was a birthday celebration for the entire family. Four people = four cakes?!? My first thought was to make one huge cake and call it quits. BUT if you know me, you know that I could not be that lame when it came to birthday cakes! So, every afternoon I could find a way to kick our guests off the boat while I worked on another surprise cake I went for it. The Dad had German Chocolate (his favorite), Mom had Pavlova (thank you Allison), older brother had Funnel Cakes and Ice Cream, and younger brother had my trademark Pirate Cake. The baking tested my "new to me" oven as much as my nerves. But I've learned that I can turn out a cake in just under 2 hours. (We're never even trying a roast on this boat.)

  1. Wow, those cakes all look great. I bet they won't forget those birthdays for a long time. So, no roast - how about a turkey for thanksgiving? The Muncie turkeys are coming over tomorrow for dinner - we will try to give you a call to wish you a happy turkey day.

    Our days have been sunny lately even tho much cooler. We are planning the last pontoon cruise on Saturday - we will be bundled in coats, hats, and mittens! We will send you some photos.

    love, momma jean

  2. How did the Pavlova fare in the humidity? You're magical! Missed you both at Thanksgiving. But see you soon!
    Love, Nina and JC
