Greedy Wish
This wish has been granted!
A Diet Pepsi and a Twinkie Cake!
Well you see this is a family tradition that started a long time ago. His mother was quite the busy mother as she has 5 children. Having so many children meant that you had to economize on some things. So the traditional birthday cake in her household was a yellow cake mix baked at home with peanut butter frosting. Her family adored her recipe and she was always given standing ovations for her creations.
Then one year, disaster struck. It was his tenth birthday and one he would never forget. Half the children were sick with the flu and there was a birthday to plan for! Where was the father you ask? Well he was in the Navy and out at sea for 6 months. He was not due to come home till Christmas Eve. So mom faced this disaster by herself without the loving support of another adult. (Or anyone else to blame).
While she was running from child to child administering cold medicine and Vick's vapor rub the smoke alarm went off. Then everyone was dashing about as smoke filled the air. Black tendrils curled along the ceiling and filled the air. The stench was heavy and her heart was filled with dread as she opened the oven door as a plume of black smoke curled up from what was going to be a birthday cake.
With tears in her eyes she pulled it out of the inferno and turned off the oven. She laid it to rest in peace on the cement front porch to be mourned. (So it did not catch the rest of the house on fire of course!) The neighbors looked on with curious expressions as the children gathered round to pay their last respects to a tradition that had been the highlight of their birthdays.
Collecting herself and wiping the tears from her blackened face she looked at her oldest son and declared ?You will have a birthday cake!? She marched inside and grabbed her car keys muttering under her breath. What she said I dare not repeat to young ears. The children watched in dismay as their mother asked a neighbor to watch over them as she went to the store.
While she was gone the children looked around dumbstruck. What had started out as a triumphant and joyous day had turned serious and sad. Their adoring mother had never failed at anything before. They cleaned up the mess hoping to cheer her up when she got back.
She returned about a half hour later. She shooed all the children out of the kitchen without a word. She carefully pulled them out of the box and wrappers. With intense concentration she stacked them using Cool Whip as her mortar. She used every skill that Lego had taught her. She had added a dollop of creativity from Betty Crocker. She smiled at the finish result as she added some birthday candles.
She called out in a clear voice as she put her apron away ?Children come here it is time for Birthday Cake!? The children were astounded as they had not seen their mother bring in a store bought cake. Nor had they heard her mixing or setting the timer for a new cake. They hurried to the kitchen and stared jaws agape. Their mother was holding a SQUARE CAKE!
She began to sing Happy Birthday to you?Cary wiped away a tear knowing how much she loved him. He swore to his mother that day. I will never eat another birthday cake unless it is Twinkies and Cool Whip and a square cake!
Okay honestly this is just a story to make you laugh. December 9th is my husband's birthday (his name is Cary). He jokingly told me that he wants a Diet Pepsi and a cake made from Twinkies and Whip Cream for his birthday. Well if this wish wins I will give him just that! Just to see his reaction! I promise to take pictures too! I will use the rest of the money to take him out for his birthday! So help me astound my husband by giving him exactly what he asked for!
PS The video shows you how to make home made Twinkies! (more)
