Cake Break

Yes, I'm still around. I'm trying to write a letter to my aunt. She sent me a very sweet letter about three months ago, "explaining" why my father never got in touch with me. Turns out my old man was fibbing again, this time about my mother, but I can't really say this to a woman who has now lost both of her siblings and is worried about her own husband's ill health.

So I'm struggling with a diplomatic letter that doesn't go into to my father's prevarications. This is taking some time, so for those of you who are Cake Wreck fans (I know I am!), here's a link to a clever (and mostly grammatically correct) quiz from another Cake Wrecks fan . I'm a Drunken Plaid Cake which is about right, although the Steak Cake comes quite close...

I'm so. . .proud. . .

I am chuffed (really!) to have received a special award for Most Interesting Back Story at Jaywalker's remarkable "Village Fête". Go check it out immediately (my "back story" is in the comments there; please don't make me repeat it)-- and rest assured, Peevish's Back Story is way more interesting than mine. But don't tell Cake Wrecks; it's not often I get such a confirmation of my baking skills, and my heart would break if they took my award away...
