Friday Fiction: by Aunt Andrea

Provoke: A wedding host forgot the cake! Think of a way to remake the cake in time!

I'm so excited to be a guest at Sophie and Orrin's wedding!  Today is the day.  I arrived at the church where I was greeted by a frantic mother of the bride.

"We forgot to order a cake! Can you help us?"

I found Fr. Luis and asked if there was anything in the parish center kitchen that I could use.  He said I could use whatever I could find.

I went to the parish center and found pans, flour, sugar, vanilla, eggs, oil and milk.  I whisked all of the ingredients together and poured them into the pans and got them into the oven.  Then I found some butter and mixed it with sugar and milk to make some icing.  Once the cakes were baked, I put them into the walk-in freezer to cool quickly.  Once they were cool, I iced them and stacked them.  Then I asked if there were any extra flowers.  I used the fresh flowers to decorate the cake.

Whew! I finished just in time to go to the ceremony!
