I made an important cake without asking ONE question here!!! If anyone knows me, they know that that is an amazing feat. I normally test everyone's patience. I think things are finally sinking in a bit! (for some reason I don't...

Well, it went fine! I went and got the cake out of the fridge as everyone was eating, so it didn't have to be out long before it was cut. And about that time, huge clouds came in - it didn't rain, but it did drop the temp some which...
