#98: Completed
When I was a sophomore in high school I got a job at Baskin Robbins scooping ice cream. I loved that job so much and had a blast with my co-workers. After about a year I was promoted to cake decorator. I decorated cakes for the next three years before I finally quit to get a real job. Or at least that is what I told myself. I tell Frank all the time that if we won the lottery, I would quit my job and be a cake decorator again. I wasn’t that good at it but it was so much fun. Mother’s Day was the busiest cake day of the year and I could easily spend 10 hours at work the day before. We would make rose after rose and balloon after balloon but it didn’t get old. It was a fun job and I loved the creative side of it.
I realized when I was making my list that I haven’t decorated a cake since my Baskin Robbins days. Which means, I have let nine years fly by without decorating. I guess I didn’t love decorating that much after all.
So for my sister’s bridal shower I decided to bake her a cake and decorate it. I went with a scrumptious chocolate brownie cake with chocolate icing. Oh it was so yummy and chocolaty. Her wedding color is a dark purple so I decorated with purple and white.
Like I said, it has been nine years since I decorated a cake and my handwriting sucks. Luckily I took that picture before I left the house for the bridal shower. When I got to the bridal shower I took the lid off and the icing over the word “Kind” came completely off. I was heartbroken because I had worked so hard on her cake and wanted it to be perfect for her and she didn’t even have the chance to see it.
But, I have a brilliant husband and he saved the day. Somewhat.

Thank goodness for Frank’s wit!!
Baskin Robbins! Oh man I was so glad you had that job! I used to love to visit you. I believe I gained a few pounds from all the taste testing. Who were those two guys that worked with you (Joe and Dave,maybe, I can’t remember now)? Didn’t we used to think they were hotties (Pattonville hotties??!!)? Much have been an ice cream dream!

There were three Pattonville guys. Mike, who was very tall and skinny and as sweet as can be. Joe, the jock, who thought he was God’s gift to this earth. I think you kissed Joe! (I think I did too. yuck!) And Dave who was an absolutely goof ball and still is today!
