We have a local expression here on the Outer Banks, Clam-Lippin! It's when a fishermen is too busy catching fish to call his friends and tell them where the fish are! My neighbor has been battling cancer for several years. It's bag again. Her sister, who has a broken ankle, is taking care of her. She asked me to make a cake for Anne. I just wanted to see Anne smile and 'comped' the cake. It was worth every moment I spent on this cake when Anne burst out laughing at the clam. 7" marble cake with buttercream icing and mmf accecents. Clam was cut from the 'crown' of the cake, (cake scraps) TFL
