Two little piggies...

So, tonight Mom and I stayed home for dinner (instead of going to Logan's again, as unbelievable as that may sound). We had some crock pot stroganoff (YUM) and then topped it off with the cake shavings that came from the two layers that I crammed into what is quite possibly the ugliest "decorator's cake" ever known to mankind. We ended up with two pretty HEAPING bowls of cake pieces, then dug out the ice cream and the cool whip (not to mention the Smucker's mint chocolate syrup) and we went to town. Check this... We ate ALL the cake, ALL the ice cream, ALL the cool whip, and half the syrup. And now we're sitting down to watch Hitch and see if we can't laugh the calories off. :) Good times. Seriously, Mom and I have the most fun together, it's unreal!

Yum, they make mint choco syrup? You guys have so much fun. Let me know if there are any other movies you want to borrow. And I would like to see the pic of your cake, I am sure it is beautiful and you and just being too hard on yourself.

Uh, yeah, they make mint choc syrup and it's FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! You have to heat it up in the micro, like hot fudge, it's awesome.

And no, I was not being hard on myself. I am a realist, Liz, and that cake was HIDEOUS. I mean... so ugly that it was laughable. I just got back from cake class and am off to bed. I'll post pics tomorrow. It's not ugly anymore (now it's just really, ridiculously, colorful... I was trying to cover all the crumbies that were in the icing). :)

And speaking of you being my personal Blockbuster (having friends like you in the ward does make my day on a regular basis)... do you have Penelope back yet? :)

That sounds and looks so good! Cake tops, like muffin tops are the best part. That sounded better in my head.
