My wife's Birthday is tomorrow...I'm baking a cake

[rustydog]

When she comes home she'll be soooo surprised!

1. You da man! What kind of cake are you making?

[havocmom]

2. Any expeience with this sort of thing?

Cuz some surprises are better than others ;)

What kind ya making? You do know to frost it AFTER it cools completely, don't you? My dad didn't know about that. Frosting kept disappearing and he kept making/applying more immediately. Mom said that cake weighed 12 pounds by the time he was done with it.

3. White cake with raspberry filling.

The last cake I baked was probably in the 60's.
I sure hope it is the thought that counts!

4. No matter how it turns out...

I'm sure she will be quite pleased...however it does sound quite tasty!

[rustydog]

6. Thanks. It smells fantastic! I can't spread the frosting for S***

and it looks nothing like the icing on the box (YES it's a mix!)but it tastes ok.

9. the best way to frost a cake

is to put a huge glob of frosting on the top and spread it out. It's always better to have too much on than too little because you get crumbs all up in the frosting

8. Wow, you like to live dangerously!

Your first cake in 40 years, and you are gonna try something
as difficult as that?

You really love your wife, and it shows!

[rustydog]

11. I got lucky. We've been married 16 years this coming July

and i want to let her know I love her.

15. Well in my experience...

it is 'the thought' that really DOES count the most
when it comes to Wives and Birthdays.

If the cake turns out well, that's just the...ahhh...

Well, it's just the "Icing on the Cake".

5. Are you using a cake mix, can't go wrong there.

[SeattleGirl]

7. That's sweet, rustydog!

My husband makes fabulous cakes (along with a lot of other food), and I always appreciate it. I bet your wife will too! (And the cake sounds delish!)

[rustydog]

10. Thanks Seattlegirl, it is the least I can do, she puts up with me

I should at least try to surprise her.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Adding to the good husband account?

That's what Mr. SG says when he brings me flowers for no reason! :thumbsup:

[rustydog]

13. Yes, I guess...I haven't done the flowers "for no reason" in a while

[SeattleGirl]

14. I'm teasing, you know

I think doing something for someone, with or without a reason, is a wonderful thing.

[rustydog]

16. I figured as much...teasing makes life a little brighter

I gotta get back to the cake...:bounce:

17. Wow! I'm impressed!

The only time Mr GoG turns on the oven is when the furnace is busted...

Happy Birthday, Mrs Rustydog! :hi:
