Last night, with a few orders coming due soon and my wife knowing that I have a few cakes already baked and not yet frosted, she suggests we just drive up to their home and surprise them with a cake. "Really? Now?" She's very good at surprises, especially surprising me too, but I'm glad for that drive in her. She definitely knows how to recognize others and make them feel special. So, in the midst of the excitement and the little time I had, I gave the effort she wanted in surprising them. I especially knew this had to be done quickly since not only my girls and their kids were nearing the "outer rim" of their day (yes, on a school night of course), my brother-in-law also covets his sleep. He makes the birds feel lazy by how early he gets up for work.
So, this is the cake that came together with what resources I had on hand already. Three-layers of chocolate with cream-cheese frosting (as always, all homemade), the flavors are simple, distinct, and very good. Since we don't know what they're having just yet, pink and blue find their way into every bit of the cake; the frosted layers are even separated in pink and blue. If you think the decorating took more time than its construction, you'd be right. The script "Two Are Better Than 1" comes out of Ecclesiastes 4:9 and is completely out-of-context. Using a little freedom - I'm confident God will forgive me - it made for a good laugh.
