Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.
I probably should have put in some joking smilies, as the whole exchange was very tongue in cheek. I'm not even sure if I (or anyone) could tell the difference between brands. It's all just puffed sugar foam. What really makes the cake is the orange frosting, which is homemade.
A few years ago when my dad was up for his birthday, I was going to go all out and scratch bake an angel food cake. When I asked my mom for the recipe, she told me she used a box, and that my grandmother had been using a box mix for my dad's birthday cake for as long as she had known him.
What really gets me is The Boy wants a yellow cake for his birthday, rather then a chocolate one. At least he's not asking for pie...
