Another good idea misses the mark...

A few days ago, it was the Amazon litter debacle. Now it's The Great Cake Overshoot...

I love white cake with white icing. Always have. I have friends who tease me that the only reason I got married was to get a wedding cake (they are only about 25% wrong, I think... in those days wedding cake was white through and through and so delicious).

Around these parts, Safeway - the grocery store - makes the best. Most bakeries try to fancy it up and fail. But Safeway gets it right. They also sell single servings which is so nice. And it freezes beautifully. So I've had a jones for some for a while. My plan was to maybe buy a whole cake and cut it up in squares and freeze it.

But, the only size they had of white on white was huge. And I didn't feel good. I started just to bail on the idea when this sweet bakery lady came out from behind the counter and the next thing I knew, I had a gynormous cake cut into squares. It was so gynormous, I could not fit it into my freezer so I had to put the squares on three different trays to get them into the freezer.

This morning, I wrapped them all and stuffed them into one shelf. Keep in mind, Chef Anita usually uses that shelf and there's no way I can eat that cake before she comes next time. I need to do some serious freezer rearranging but, for now, we're good.

I had a piece last night and it was delicious. I held out a piece this morning for tonight.

Yes, I can eat my cake and have it...
