vw, what kind of horrible, judgemental people could you possibly know who would look badly at the person who worked hard making a fun party and delicious homemade cake for them? Come on, homemade cake is THE BOMB, no matter how it looks. I just can't imagine you could hang out with anyone who would react with anything but delight.

vw, as we all know, scrappy is wise.

By the way, I look to be 90% sure I'm coming (I know, I know, but it's HOT out there - at least it's somewhat dry). Do you need anything brought with except beverages?

Talking about cake is more positive than researching murders, and yet?

vw, I doubt you'll let your pets eat most of the cake before serving it to your guests, which puts it at least one step above the cake my mom made for her MiL.

The 21(!!!?!) squares of chocolate put it several steps above any cake I've ever eaten. Now personally, I don't think your guests will care how it looks. But if you are really concerned about this, I will be happy to take the cake off your hands. Just email me (profile addy good) and I'll send you my snail mail addy. I am there for you.

Or you could listen to Hec et al, but that doesn't get me super-chocolate cake so I can't entirely endorse such a rash act.

YAY! Frank's probably coming! How fabulous!

We need of nothing...not even beverages, unless you don't want wine, Samuel Adams Summer Ale, Mike's Hard Lime, soda or water.

If you can't stand it, though, put pieces in a bowl with whipped cream, put a couple of the chocolate-covered strawberries on top and call it chocolate trifle.

Ginger is so nice. I, on the other hand, am an advocate of the school of "put the cake in a box and mail it to JohnSweden". It's win-win, really. The cake is then out of your sight and off your conscience, and I can regale you with stories of how it was so good, I licked the cardboard.

Hey, wait, where the hell is my cake?

Wow! Looks like I'm gonna keep busy mailing the Bitches the ugliest cake on the planet!

I dunno, P-C. I'll be too busy wrasslin' JohnSweden for mine to help you find it.

I know I'm a bear with my needing the apartment to be sparkling clean and never wanting anything put on the coffee table or anything, but honestly, vw, not everybody can be me! It's okay if things aren't as perfectly beautifully gorgeous as they would be if I did them. We're different people, is the thing.

What good are you people if you don't give me cake?
