68 cents for a Jiffy yellow cake mix at Walmart. It looked PERFECT.

I don't bake many cakes. Fun stuff, very empowering!

But, did you make enough to share with everybody?

The original quote is, "You can't eat your cake and have it too," which makes infinitely more sense than the common misinterpretation. It used to bother me greatly until one day I looked it up.

Without pics it didn't happen...

[Hiram25]

Where's mine?

[Paco]

I was expecting pics of a Glock or a 1911 shaped cake...

Guess I'll have to see if my Daughter can make me one

[searcher 45]

I would think you could put some shot brass in the cake as a reloadable door prize?

"I baked a cake!"

Would it be possible for you to Fed EX Overnight Express me a piece? I could really go for a nice hunk of Jiffy .68 Cent WalMart Yellow Batter Cake right now.

OK, now is this gun related? Here it is. I also went for the squirt chocolate frosting in a can to write Happy B-Day. Pretty doggone cute.

(the Glock was not included, although it would be fun to bake it into the cake next time for a little humor)

This is a real Susie Homemaker thread but I do get it.
