leatherneck Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 just got this email and thought I would share have a good day everybody A WHITE LIE CAKE ! > >Have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love this --especially all >of the ladies who bake for church events. > >Alice Grayson was to bake a cake for the Baptist Church ladies' group bake >sale in Tuscaloosa, but she forgot to do it until the last minute. She >remembered it the morning of the bake sale and after rummaging through >cabinets she found a dusty old Angel food cake mix in the back of her >kitchen cabinet and quickly made it while drying her hair and dressing and >helping her son Bryan pack up for Scout camp. But when Alice took the cake >from the oven the center had dropped flat and the cake was horribly >disfigured. > >She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake." > >This cake was so important to Alice because she did so want to fit in at >her new church, and in her new community of new friends. So, being >inventive and not wanting anyone to think she was not the perfect woman >able to handle all things at all times or that, God forbid, she not >participating in her church's bazaar, she looked around the house for >something to build up the center of the cake. > >Alice found it in the bathroom -- a roll of toilet paper. She plunked it in >and then covered it with icing. Not only did the finished product look >beautiful, it looked perfect! > >Before she left the house to drop the cake by the church and head for work, >Alice woke her daughter Amanda and gave her some money and specific >instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened at 9:30, and to >buy that cake and bring it home. > >When the daughter arrived at the sale, she found that the attractive >perfect cake had already been sold. Amanda grabbed her cell phone and >called her Mom. Alice was horrified... she was beside herself. Everyone >would know ... what would they think? Oh, my God she wailed! She would be >ostracized, talked about, ridiculed. She would have to move or kill >herself! All night Alice lay awake in bed thinking about people pointing >their fingers at her and talking about her behind her back. > >The next day, Alice promised herself that she would try not to think about >the cake and she would attend a fancy luncheon/bridal shower at the home of >a friend of a friend and try to have a good time. Alice did not really want >to attend because the hostess was a snob who more than once had looked down >her nose at the fact that Alice was a single parent and not from the >founding families of Tuscaloosa but having already RSVP she could not think >of a believable excuse to stay home. The meal was elegant, the company was >definitely upper crust old South.... and to Alice's horror the CAKE in >question was presented for dessert. > >Alice felt the blood drain from her body when she saw the cake, she started >to get out of her chair to rush into the kitchen to tell her hostess all >about it, but before she could get to her feet, the Mayor's wife said, >"What a beautiful cake!" > >Alice who was still stunned and trying to formulate what words she would >use to explain the situation, sat back in her chair when she heard the >hostess (who was a prominent church member) say, "Thank you, I baked it >myself." > >Alice smiled and thought to herself "There is a God". > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
