| Happy girl |
This smile says it all!
This is my niece "C", she was the happy recipient of the bundt cake that I cooked in "A's" pan that I blogged about here My Wish Came True!
We had made arrangements to join my sister and her family for dinner. I forgot to ask her if there was anything I could bring. I was going to ask if she'd like me to bring a dessert. Before I could call back, a text message came in from "C" asking for my orange cake!
She said "OMG, just give me a spoon!" LOL!!!
I never replied to her message! But I phoned my sister back and we surprised "C" - she said she didn't think I'd bring it, because I didn't have enough time to bake one!
"C" is in middle school and she was on vacation with her parents, her older sister was working and she was at the cottage "dorm" alone! The room had 6 single beds and she loved it, especially when she had some of her friends visit!
This particular day was rainy and my brother-in-law said he'd only seen "C" a few times - for bathroom breaks and food breaks! LOL
I've mentioned before that "C" has awful food allergies. She can't have dairy, nuts or shellfish. So when when we cook or bake for her we need special "butter" and "milk" so that she can eat it.
I'll post the family heirloom recipe later this week! It's a recipe that my nana used all the time. Every time I bake this recipe I feel like she's in the kitchen with me! I can still remember her handing me the beaters to lick!
I always thought the batter was frosting when I was little, and she explained the difference. All I knew is that it tasted good!

ReplyDeleteNow that niece has a smile so bright that you may have to make her that cake more often! What a cutie. I got all excited thinking the recipe might be here...I'll just have to cool my jets. ☺
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable story. The look on her face says it all.

what a happy girl holding an amazing cake!
ReplyDeleteNow she knows it works, she'll be calling daily!
ReplyDeleteShe looks pretty sweet though...you probably should spoil her rotten :D
Once I made an orange cake when I was probably 20...and I went to bed with it on the table in the kitchen. Next morning I got up all groggy and went in there to find all the orange slices had slid off the cake...off the table and onto the floor. It was a grizzly scene and I'm not quite over it yet.
Love it! What an Auntie you are! Awesome surprise and an awesome smile!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to C. I am so glad that you were able to surprise her with the sweet cake. How wonderful that you still make "nana's" cake. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOooooo. Sounds good. But your niece was thrilled. Susan
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me you made that young lady mighty happy. Not sure what it is. MIGHT be that big smile on her face, though.
ReplyDeleteShe was happy!!!
ReplyDeleteI know she had to be thrilled by the smile on her face. How nice to be able to surprise her.
ReplyDeleteMy comments don't seem to be going through...maybe the third time is the charm. I know that your surprise delighted her...such a wonderful smile on her face.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful surprise for your niece! It must be hard having several food allergies.
ReplyDeleteGlad your husband found that wonderful bundt pan for you!
Well, your sweet niece has the look of love written all over her face. You are a great aunt and that is a great cake you made her. Guess she found a spoon...
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Her smile says it all! I sure love your collection of books, too. How wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cake! Your niece is a lucky girl to have you!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful, caring and giving aunt. The girls are blessed to have you in their lives.
