Two days later, last night, our daughter and family had us over to their house for dinner to celebrate. Like everyone else in the world the party I had thought would happen couldn't so Daughter and Grands decided if I couldn't have a big party I would have a big cake! Adelaide said they got the idea while watching Twilight Zone. Indeed!
This cake was stupendous! Nine cake mixes, 27 eggs, 4 pounds of butter, 3 cups cocoa, 6 pounds powdered sugar, one S O S call and 70 candles! There were just the six of us. The wedges cut were monstrous and served on dinner plates. Elizabeth said, "We have ice cream, too!" This after a steak and crab leg dinner with all the trimmings. They went all out and definitely brought the mountain to Mohamed. Best birthday I could have hoped for!
What size cake pans did they bake it in? That is really amazing. Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully, large cake story to read about. I hope you were not too disappointed in doing a big cake instead of a big party. Darn virus anyway.
ReplyDeleteNine cake mixes, 27 eggs - tremendous. This was certainly a cake to remember. I hope your birthday was lovely!
Now that’s a birthday celebration to remember. What fun.
ReplyDeleteWow--that is a CAKE! Wouldn't even know where to begin to make a cake that size. Do they have an industrial oven? That is pretty fun. Sounds like you were treated very well!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. I'm sure they all wished you could have had the big birthday. May be you can pretend your not 70 until co-vids over and steal a few years.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's Amazing!!! I'm with some of the other commenters wondering how they managed to bake a cake that size LOL! Happy Happy Birthday!!!
